DOOR OF WORLD
Appeal Of Hoover a Year Ago
Needed as Much Today, Say
Food Administration
Officials.

Washington, Dec. 4.-"The food
supplies of the world have been
steadily lessening. 1t is the impact
of this shortage which has knocked
at every door in the United States.
We hold it in our power, and ours
alone, to keep the wolf from the door
Of the world. This duty is wider
than war-it is wide as humanity"
This statement of Food Admins
traitor Hoover, made in May, 1917,
served as a text at hundreds of
meetings of women held today
throughout the nation as a part of
Conservation week for world re-
lief" This appeal, food administra-
ton officials said, although made
more than year and a half ago,
holds good for the present great
task of world relief.
Mr.. Hoover, who is now in En-
rope making a survey of the food
situation, cabled a message to the
national presidents of several large
organizations of women, asking the
women of America to remain mobil-
lied to carry on the task OF food
conservation until the liberated peo-
pies of Europe are fed.

BARUCH RESIGNS

Bureau Will Go Out of Exist.
ence on First Of Year; No
Further Need is Ap-
parent.

Washington, Dec. 4.-President
Wilson has accepted the resignation
of Bernard NJ. Baruch as chairman
of the war industries board, effect
i've January |, and has agreed that
the war industries board cease to
exist as government agency on
that date.
In the correspondence made pub
lie today the president expressed the
hope that Mr.. Baruch would re-
main in Washington, so that the
government might continue to have
the benefit of his advice.
Mr.. Baruch gave as his reason for
resigning the fact that with the
signing of the armistice and the
consequent cancellation of con-
tracts, there was no longer short
age Of materials, and the war in
dustries board Immediately removed
its curtailments. In like manner, the
necessity for maximum prices is dis
appearing, except in few isolated
cases which can best be regulated
through the war trade board"
Mr.. Baruch said the facilities Of
the board had been put at the dis
posal of the various contracting
agencies of the government, and that
the activities believed to be of last
6ng value are being transferred to
permanent departments of the gov
eminent, where they may be carried
forward.

U. S. POSTWAR
plan HELD Up,
SAYS BAKER
Future of American Armed AC'
tivities and Laws Await
Result of Peace Con-
ference.

Washington, Dec. 4.-The ques-
ton of permanent organization OF
the army has been deferred for con-
sideration after the close of the
peace conference. Secretary Baker
in his annual report, made public
tonight, says this course is deter
mined upon since "the military -peeds
of the United States cannot be
prudently assessed until that con-
ference shall have determined the fu-
ture international relations of the
world"
For temporary purposes, how
ever, Mr.. Baker announces that he
will lay before congress a plan of
reorganization for the regular army,
(which shall continue as the nue.
leus Of any future military estab-
lishment."
The secretary also indicates his
intention to press for perpetuation
by law of the strong general staff
organization built up during the
war.
81 have refrained In this report"
Mr.. Baker says, from making spe-
cifc recommendations for future
legislation for two reasons. In the
first place, the signing of the arm
istice has not formally closed the
war. We have at present a great
military establishment which cannot
be Immediately dissolved, and the
activities of the department for
some time at least must be con-
cerned with what we have. In the
second place, the peace conference
is about to assemble and the mill
tary needs of the United States
cannot be prudently assessed until
that conference shall have determ-
ined the future international rela-
tons of the world. The department
will present to the congress a plan
for the maintenance of a Regular
army which shall continue as the
nucleus of any future military es-
adjustment, pending the time when
the experience through which we
have gone can be digested and the
future needs of the nation maturely
considered.
"In any case, it is clear that the
education of officers and a constant
study of the science of warfare. will
be necessary, and it is my hope that
the great military academy at West
Point can be supplemented by an
enlargement and broadening of the
special schools which are at pres
ent organized, but should be made
to take on more the character of
postgraduate courses and to de-
velop and train research specialists
in the several arms. This subject,
however, is one upon which casual
comment is not helpful, and l refer
to it only because it seems the one
clear indication from our experience
as to our future polio"

Hall and Other Yanks
Given Hint to Escape
from German Camp

Paris, Dec. 4.-When the German
revolution broke out on November
I many German officers visited the
prison camps to ascertain the atti-
tude Of allied prisoners toward the
revolution. Each prisoner was asked
if he intended to join the revolution
lists, and those who replied in the
negative, saying that they wished
only to rejoin their regiments. were
asked to give their parole not to try
to escape.
Captain James Norman Hall of
Colfax, Ia; Lieut. Henry c. Lewis
of Germantown, Pa; Lieut. Robert
]. Browning of Minneapolis and
Charles r. Goldman of Boston,
Mass, refused to give their parole,
but agreed not to join the revolu-

gave them a strong hint that no
great difficulties would be placed in
the way of their escape. The four
Americans finally reached Berne,
where they received outfits from the

Geneva, Dec. 4.-(Havas. 1.-The

iny's part in the war overseas Sec-
rotary Baker leaves very largely
to General Pershing, whose report
covering operations up to Novem-
Der 20, following the cessation OF
hostilities, is attached to that of the
secretary, as is the report of Chair
man Fosdick of the commission on
training camp activities.
AN adequate account of the ac-
tivities of the department for the
year now ending can be written"
Mr.. Baker says, only in the long
reaches of historical inquiry, when
there will be time and opportunity
to examine in detail not merely
statistical exhibits which tell in
numbers of men and guns yrhat
America did, but also to appraise
the contributions of patriotic zeal
and service which came from field
and factory, from civilian and SOL
der alike, and which represent in
their aggregate the life of the natioh
concentrated upon single pur-
pose"
Meuse Battle Greatest.
In his brief recital of the events
of the war, Mr.. Baker selects the
battle of the Meuse as from the
viewpoint of military strategy.
Americas greatest contribution to
the successful outcome of the war"
since by that attack of the Aineri-
can armies the Sedan Mezieres rail-
way, the main artery of the German
supply system, was cut. The entire
available strength of the American
army in France, % divisions, were
in line in the second week of Octo-
Der, he says, making yard by yard
progress against the desperate en-
envy resistance, which finally was
worn out, land on November l the
American troops broke through. !"
The object of the drive, the strate-
gic conception of which included
the British drive at the northern
end of the railway system and the
French advance in the center, was
accomplished on November 7, when
the Americans entered the outskirts
of Sedan, to be joined there the
next day by the French.
"The meeting of French and
American troops on this historic
spot" Mr.. Baker says, "signalized
the defeat of the German arms, a
defeat as decisive and humiliating
as that forced upon France AZ years
before at the same spot. If there
had been questions before as to the
acceptance of the armistice terms,
the allied advance, eliminating in
this meeting at Sedan, left no choice
in the matter"

Pershing Tells How Yanks Turned Tide
In official Report Of u. S. Operations

600 prisoners and AS guns, great
quantity of material, released the in
habitants Of many villages from en-
envy domination, and established our
lines in a position to threaten Metz.
This signal success of the. Amer
lean First army in its first offensive
was of prime importance. The a.
lies found they had formidable
army to aid them, and the enemy
learned finally that he had one to
reckon with"
Cleared Way For Allies.
The report shows for the first time
officially, that with this brilliantly
executed coup, General Pershing's
men cleared the way for the great
effort of the allies and American
forces to win a conclusive victory.
The American army moved at once
toward its browning achievement,
the battle of the Meuse.
The general tells a dramatic story
of this mighty battle in three distinct
phases, beginning on the night of
September 81, when Americans
quickly took the places of the
French on the thinly held line OF
this long quiet sector. The attack
opened on September 26 and the
Americans drove through entangle-
ments, across No Mans land to take
all the enemy's first line positions.
Closing the chapter, General Perish
ing's says:
"On November E division Of the
First corps reached point on the
Meuse opposite Sedan, Is miles from
our line of departure. The strate-
gical goal which was our highest hope
was gained. We had cut the enemy's
main line of communications, and
nothing but Surrender or an armis-
tice could save his army from COM
plete disaster.
40 Foe Divisions Used.
an all 40 enemy divisions had
been used against us in the Meuse-
Argonne battle. Between September
26 and November 6 we took 26,059
prisoners and 46S guns on this front.
Our divisions engaged we're the
First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth,
Twenty-sixth. Twenty-eighth, Twen-
ty-ninth, Thirty-second, Thirty
third, Thirty-6fth, Thirty-seventh,
Forty-second, Seventy-seventh, Sew
enty-eighth, Seventy-ninth, Eight
ieth, Eighty-second, Eighty-ninth,
Ninetieth, Ninety-hrst Many of our
divisions remained in line for a
length of time that required nerves
of steel, while others were sent in
again after only a few days of rest
The First, Fifth, Twenty-sixth,
Forty-second, Seventy-se n h,
Eightieth, Eighty-ninth, and Nine
tieth were in the line twice. Al
though some of the divisions were
fighting their first battle, they soon
became equal to the best"
The commander-in-chief does not
lose sight of the divisions operating
with French or British armies dur
ing this time. He tells of the work
of the Second corps, comprising the
Twenty-seventh and Thirtieth divi-
sions in the British assault on the
Hindenburg line where the St.
Quentin canal passes through a
tunnel; of how the Second and
Ihlrty-sixth divisions got their
chance in October by being assigned
to aid the French in the drive from
Rheims and of the splendid fighting
of the Thirty-seventh and Ninety
first divisions sent to join the French
army in Belgium.
