WILSON OPENS
BRITISH Gates
Interview Granted London
Newspaper Men Brings
Reciprocity Sentiment.

Paris. Dec. 22-President Wilson'S
action in granting an interview to the
London Times is regarded here as
significant. 1t is considered a reat
courtesy. not to the British news
paper, but to the people of Great
Britain.
In this connection much favorable
comment is made upon the fact that
immediately afterward Viscount
NoIthcliffe gave an interview to the
American press condemning secret
diplomacy and saying that it is the
great obstacle which will be met by
President Wilson.
The present lonely grandeur" of the
American commission, which is the
only full peace representation here, is
attributed to the Importance of the
British elections and to the holidays.
II Is explained that when the result
OF the British election is known
events will move much more rapidly
here.

Ex- Ambassador to Eng
land Succumbs to Re-
lapse at Pinehurst.
HAD A NOTED CAREER
Was Editor of Worlds
Work and Famous as
Pubicist.

Pinehurst, Dec. 22.-walter Hines
Page, of New York, former American
to the court of st. James.
died here late Saturday night. 1t was
learned today.
Mr.. Page resigned his post In Eng
land because of i'll health. He re-
turned to New York on October IL in q
very critical condition and was hurried
from the ship to st. Luke's Hospita..
New York. During the first few weeks
his condition appeared to improve
steadily. Later in November he suf-
fered a relapse. but rallied and was
brought to Pinehurst about ten days
ago.
For a short period after reaching
here he apparently gained strength.
but beginning on Thursday last he
grew appreciably weaker. The end
came quietly and peacefully.
Members OF Mr.. Pages family who
were with him when he died were Mrs.
Page, his daughter, Mrs. Charles G.
Loring. of Boston: his son. Ralph w.
Page: his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Ar
thur W. Page, of New York, and his
brothers, Henry A. Page. Junius r.
Page. and former Representative
Robert N. Page.
Mai. Frank c. Page. who accompa-
MED his father from England, arrived
at Pinehurst this morning. Capt Ar
thur w. Page, another son, is at pres
ent in service in England.
Funeral services will be held Tues
day morning at the Page Memorial
Church. Aberdeen. n. C.
Had to Represent Huns.
Mr.. Page. who was 63 years of age.
was editor of The Worlds Work, and
won national fame as a publicist be-
fore being appointed TO the Court OF
st. James. His service as United
States Ambassador took a dual char
acter when war broke. as he was re-
quired not only to represent the inter
ests of his own country, which more
than doubled in importance, but to
him also fell the undesirable role OF
representative of the Imperial German
Empire.
The strain which necessarily fol-
lowed the labor thus forced on him
increased in intensity until human en-
durance could stand it no longer. A
nervous breakdown was the result.
to a statement of his son,
Ralph. published at the time of his
fathers resignation, Mr.. Page hoped
to regain his health by taking long
rest. and then resume his editorial
work on the Worlds Work.
He was born in Cary, North Caro-
lima His home was in Gardep City,.
Long Island.
Mr.. Page was at one time editor OF
The Forum and The Atlantic Monthly.
He was the author of The Rebuild
ing of Old Commonwealths." In his
early years he attended Randolph
Macon College. Later he received a
fellowship from Johns Hopkins.
Mr. Page was succeeded as am
bassador to the Court of st. James
by John w. Davis who has just ar
rived to fill this post. Mr.. Davis was
appointed two months ago.

Wounded Men Feel Joy,
Says President Wilson
After Hospital Visit

Paris. Dec. 22.-President Wilson
tonight made the following state
ment concerning his visit to the
American hospital at Neuilly to-
day.
Il went through the American
hospital at Neuilly with the greatest
interest and with the greatest graft
fication.
81 found the men admirably
taken care of, and almost without
eception in excellent spirits.
only a very few of them looked
really i'll. and 1 think that their
mothers and friends would have
been entirely pleased by their sur
and by the alert look in
their eyes and the keen interest
they took in everything about them.
II am sure that they will go back
to their loved ones at home with
a new feeling of joy, alike in their
recovery and in the fine service they
have been able to render"

SWEDEN TO Get

Will Be Bunkered and
Sent Abroad.

Plans are completed by which Hol-
land will get needed grain from South
America, the United States bunkeriuE
her ships for the trip TO South Amer
ica and home.
Authorization OF exports OF 1000
tons of cereals, 2Oo0 tons OF pork
products. 1000 tons of industrial fats
and 1000 tons of sugar to Finland was
made by the War Trade Board yes
terday. At the same time il announced

Coffee. 6,7S2.OoO pounds; cocoa beans
2oS2,Ooo pounds; dried fruits, sOoO.O 900
pounds; sweet condensed milk, 500
tons. and pork, 1900 tons.
The shipment to Sweden is to be
made out of the saving Of the Amer
lean people and not from surplus
supplies. Sweden's shortage is
acute and the export permits are
issued as a matter OF friendship.
Dutch shipping appproximatinE
$4,000 tons is in American ports
and five more boats are on their
way here to lift cargoes of grain.
But because of the congestion OF
grain loading facilities, the United
States has offered to bunker all
these Dutch ships not only for n
trip to South America for grain. but
all the way home. The proposal
has been accepted.
In this way nearly 100, 600 tons
of shipping to South America will
become accessible to American ex-
porters. and the United States will
be relieved Of the need Of furnish
ing that amount of grain to HoI-

Hoover Breaks Rule;
Actually Gives Interview.
Has Nothing to Say"

Paris, Dec. 22.-Herbert c. Hoover.
whose job is to feed large part of
Europe, congratulates himself upon
having a "rhinoceros" skin. The cor
respondent today visited the food ad-
ministrator's office in the Elysee Pal
ace to ask his opinion of an article in
the Echo de Paris, cabled from its
Washington correspondent, which al
legged there was growing discontent
with Hoover as food administrator,
and that there was a strong belief he
was "dictatorial" in his distribution
measures.
The article also included general
criticism OF President Wilson's league
OF nations project.

FOOD BAN OFF,;
'PATRIOTEERINC'
MUST END SOON
" General Orders" Rescind-
ed; Public May Eat
What 1t Wants.
u. S. CONTROL LIFTED
Restrictions on Amount Of
Dishes in Hotels and Res
taurants Removed.

Hotels. restaurants and lunch
rooms of Washington. beginning
today. must unmask their patriotic
camouhage.
The Food Administration last
night officially rescinded the twelve
general orders" for public eating
places" which have restricted the
consumption of foods.
When you patronize one of the
establishments from. now on and
fail to find an open" sugar bowl
or receive sufficient butter you will
know such guises of necessary con-
servation are without excuse, as
these restrictions are among scores
specifically lifted by the order which
goes into effect today.
More Than One Meet.
The sugar bowl restriction and
the four ounce a-day limit on sugar
had already been lifted. but now
the butter regulation, the cheese
limit. the rue against more than
one meat, all go into the discard.
amount of bread you can have.
In the future the restaurant mans
profiteering is limited strictly to
what he Cln get away with, and
carries no appearance of govern
ment sanction.
1t is estimated by the Food Ad-
ministration that 100000 people
take their meals in public eating
houses and the earliest possible re-
scinding of the general orders
comes in the knowledge of the bald
practices of public eating houses
in the NATIONAL Capital, as well as
in other princial cities. which have
been pruning rations in the name
of their country when, in reality,
they were pruning them in the in
terest Of their pocketbook.
For Future Measures,
In notifying the hotel chairmen,"
the order reads, ''on the STATS cs the
Federal food administrators of the
decision to rescind the present reggla-
tions, the hotel division of the Food
asked that they hon
themselves in readiness to assist 10
putting into effect any specific meas
ures which public eating places.
through developments in world relief,
may in the future be called upon 10
carry out"
From now on profteering by local
lunchrooms and restaurants must be
devoid of alibi, and future daring pill
ferings in the name of patriotism will
doubtless be more than merely resent
ed by Washingtonians.
The appeal to use liberty flour still
stands. though it is no longer compuI-
sorry, the administration announces.
