J. 5. AND ALLIES EXPECT ID FEED
 MANY EUROPEAN
Hoover and Hurley to Go to Europe Immediately to
 Work Out Food Re-
 lief Programme

Washington, November 9.-Imm edi- ate arrangements are to be made by the American and allied governments for supplying the food necessary for the rehabilitation of the people of northern France and Belgium, and the demoralized civilian populations in southern Europe.
 Americas part in the programme is to be under the direction of Food Ad minstrator Hoover, who organized the commission for relief in Belgium, and of which he still is chairman. The state department announced today that Presi- dent Wilson had requested MT. Hoover to take charge for the American gov ernment in cooperation with the vari- ous governments concerned of the orr ganization of measures for the projected food relief and to proceed at once to Europe to begin his task
 MT. Hoover, it was learned, is to be accompanied by Chairman Hurley of the shipping board, who wfal be able to fur nish instant information as to the ship ping facilities the United States can supply. His presence, therefore, is eX- pected to facilitate the working out promptly of the programme as to the measure of relief will depend to some extent on the movement of food stores in Australia, and other countries, where they have been accumulated through the lack of tonnage to move them dur ing the war.
 The state departments announcement said the war industries board, the war trade board, the treasury department the shipping board and the food ad- ministration are to aid in the prompt advancement of necessary measures for assisting in feeding the people in in- vaded Belgium and northern France. It also said arrangements are being made by the food administration, the shipping board and the war department for the earliest possible distribution of food to the liberated populations in southern France.
 Decision to assist the civilians in southern Europe was reached by the supreme war council at Versaillese after armistice terms for Germany and Aus tria had been drawn, a resolution pro- posed by Colonel House, representative of the American government, being adopted unanimously.
 Even before that time, however, the American government had given much thought to the subject and MT. Hoover is known to have mapped out plans for the work. His idea Is to carry on the relief work in southern Europe under much the same system as that em- ployed in Belgium and northern France after the war began. Under this plan rationing would be under the control land direction of representatives of the allied and American governments.

 The chief engineer, Charles Tournier of Hartford, Conn.,, was the only one of the rescued who was injured. His leg was crushed between two life boats in the heavy sea that has been running today. One of the patrolsboats capsized in the sea, but it's occupants were rescued.
 Destroyers and coast guard boats are searching the vicinity for traces of rafts which may be afloat with the rest of the crew, although it is feared that the men on duty in the Saetias engine room were killed by explosions
 The sinking of the ship was preceded by an explosion just after s o'clock. A few minutes later two more violent ex- plosions followed. Although the ship was light, she went down within 2V minutes, according to her master, Cap- tain Lynch, who landed at this place.
 Although an all day vigil was kept by destroyers and fishing boats. no more survivors were picked up after o'clock in the afternoon. Little hope is held for those who were in the engine room.
 The explosions which followed the first, it is believed Here the boilers. The Saetia left it's conveys returning from France three days ago, and was heading in for the Chesapeake Just 9 miles off this place she ran into the mine which sent her quivering from bow to stern.
 Captain Lynch immediately ordered ''all hands on deck" but before lifeboats could be lowered, the cold salt water pouring in upon the boilers caused the addi tional explosions. The ship careened vio- lentiy, settling heavily at the stern. A few minutes later she had settled en- tirely.
