HOOVER FO0DR0[E
UP TO WAR COUNCIL

PARIS, November 80 (by the Asso-
ciated Press).-The plan for the ap-
pointment of Herbert c. Hoover. the
American food administrator, as di-
rector general of relief. in charge of
the entire food and relief admins
tration for the European allies and
the United States. has been given ap-
prova1. it was learned today. by the
very highest American authority. 1t
now goes before the supreme war
The relief plan involves. besides the
appointment of Mr.. Hoover. the use
Of the large passenger ships Inn
perator, Bismarck and other big
steamers in German ports for relief
work and to help in securing the
Europe within comparatively brief
period.
Council to Meet in London.
The supreme war council, which
been specially summoned to meet in
London at the invitation of Premier
Lloyd George. The council comprises
the British, French and Italian pre-
miers and Col. E. NJ. House as the
American representative. Col. House
owing to his recent attack of grippe,
but the American views will be fully
represented and the council will have
in writing the proposals concerning
Mr.. Hoover's appointment and the use
of the German ships.
Mr.. Hoover. as director general of
relief. would have civilian position
in relief work corresponding to that
of Marshal Foch in the military
sphere. Thus. it is pointed out. his
appointment would be an extension
Of .he principle of inter-a1lied unity
of command.
It is said that the part of the plan
which provided for the flying of an
inter-allied flag by steamers carrying
relief supplies may not be put into
effect. A large proportion of these
relief ships will be American. and it
is pointed out that the chief source
Of the relief supplies will be Ameri-
can.
Premiers Clemenceau and Orlando
are on their way to London. SO it is
probable that the supreme war coun-
Gil will be convened on the coming
Monday.

Secretary Lansing, Henry
White, E. NJ. House and Gen.
Bliss Accompany Him.
GROUP OF FOUR TO HAVE
AMBASSADOR RANK
Mr.. Wilson Likely to Take Part
Only in Discussions Of Treaty's
Main Points.

Representatives Of the United States
at the peace conference will be:
President Wilson.
Robert Lansing, Secretary of State.
Henry White, former ambassador to
France and Italy. En-.
+ E. NJ House.
of the American Army with the su-
preme war council at Versailles.
This announcement was made last
night at the White House. In the
absence of any official explanation it
was assumed that the President goes
as President of the United States, and
that Secretary Lansing, Mr.. White
and Col. House, and possibly also
Gen. Bliss, will be delegates with
ambassadorial rank. s.!----.-
:, Officials indicated today that the
White House announcement purposefy
left in doubt the exact status of the
representatives because the President
had not been fully informed as to the
exact fornalities of procedure in or
ganizing the conference.
Secretary Lansing was chosen to
head the American delegation, but the
question of whether the President
himself during his stay in France will
be considered part of the delegation
proper may depend upon the course
adopted by the heads of the other great
associated governments. Since in Mr.
Wilson as President of the United
States lies all the power that will be
exercised on the part Of America in
the conference. and the delegates must
act as a unit in accordance with his
decisions. the only question involved
so far as he is concerned is one of
fern.
It was recalled that the Presidents
announcement that he would go to
France ''for the purpose of taking
part in the discussion and settle-
ment OF the main features OF the
treaty of peace" said that it was not
likely that be could remain through
cut sessions Of the peace conference
and that he would be accompanied
by delegates who will sit as the rep
resentatives Of the United States
throughout the conference

Text of Official Statement.

until day or two ago been under
discussion
White House. officials would add
nothing to the formal statement, and
no one protesting to be in the conf
dence of the President would talk
There was only one surprise in the
statement - the appearance of the
name of Gen. Bliss as one of the rep
resentatives. 1t had been taken for
granted that the general military rep
resentatiVe of the United States on
the supreme war council would take
part lin the discussions at Versailles,
but the general idea had been he
would be attached to the delegation
in a military capacity. just as Admiral
Benson probably will be present as
spokesman for the Navy in the great
naval problems to be solved
News Develops Thursday.
Thursday callers at the White House
gained the distinct impression that
there would be but three accredited
delegates of full rank It was sug-
gested that the name of Gen. Bliss
probably was added at the last mo-
ment, upon receipt of information that
the allied powers would include a
ton.
The premiers of Great Britain,
France and Italy are expected to at
tend the peace conference as repre-
sentatives Of their governments. but
like the President, may not remain
throughout the conferences. The gen.
eral understanding here is that pres
ent plans are to have the conference
first agree to the broad principles of
the treaty and leave the working out
of details to further sittinSs.
This would enable the President and
the entente premiers speedily to re-
turn to the capitals Of their respective
countries so as. to give their personal
attention to affairs Of state.
Secretary Lansing's Status.
Secretary Lansing, who heads the
delegation proper, became Secretary of
State in June, 1915, when William
Jennings Bryan resigned rather than
sign a note to Germany in the Lusi-
tania case, which he thought might
lead to war. During the three and q
half years that have followed Mr.,
Lansing has conducted many difficult
negotiations for the country as a neu-
tral and as belligerent, and his name
appears on all the historic docu-
entry into the war as well as those
answering Germany.s peace pleas
which preceded the downfall of the
central alliance. At the time of his
appointment he was counselor Of the
State Department, after a career as
an international lawyer, which had
established his reputation as one of
the foremost American authorities on
this subject.

THE TOP SERGEANT.

His close-cropped head is grizzied.
And his eye is like a hawks,
And you hear the ring Of saberS
In his accents as he talks.
The map of Clusters battle ia
Is engraved upon his brow, n,
And when it comes to cussing,
Oh, he certainly knows how.
Ffe takes the mammas' darlings
And the Reubens from the hay.
And shapes them into soldiers
AS potter molds the clay.
He drills the love of country
In the cringing slacker's heart,
And the language that he hands you
Is the kind that makes you smart,
The c. O.'s braid and buttons ;sSh.
Has the high official stamp
Parade days, but the sergeant
Is the boss around the camp.
We hate him and we fear him,
But we're trying to a man
To be as nearly like him
AS bunch of rockies can.

The soldiers who patronize the hair

1t is on the ship that many Ameri-

a stray Canadian dime, they usually
have never seen British coins, and
when in exchange for an American bill
they are given strengthening pieces
of silver and big disks of copper, they
register, in the language of the movies,
wide-eyed interest.
