PRESIDENT ANNOUNCES
DELEGATES FOR PEACE
Lansing, White, House and Bliss
With Woodrow Wilson-Name of
General Brings Surprise-Am-
erican Representative on War
Council at Versailles.

Washington, Nov. 29.-The repre-
sentatives 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.
E. M. House.
Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, representa-
tive of the American army with the
supreme war council at Versailles.
This announcement was made Fri
day night at the White House. In the
absence of any official explanation, it
was assumed that the president goes
as the president of the United States
and that Secretary Lansing, Mr.
White and Colonel House and prob
ably also General Bliss will be dele
gates with ambassadorial rank.
1t was recalled that the presidents
announcement that he would go to
france "for the purpose of taking
part in the discussion and settlement
of the main features Of the treaty Of
peace" said that it was not likely that
he could remain throughout the ses-
sions Of the peace conference and
that he would be accompanied by
delegates who will sit as the repre-
sentatives Of the United States
throughout the conference"
The White House announcement
Friday night follows:
'It was announced at the execu-
tive Offices that the representatives
Of the United States at the peace
conference would be:
The president himself, the secre-
tary of state, the Hon. Henry White,
recently ambassador to France; Mr..
Edward M. House and Gen. Tasker
H. Bliss.
1t was explained that it had not
been possible to announce the ap.
pointments before because the num-
Der of representatives each of the
chief belligerents was to send had
until day or, two ago been under
discussion" !. .
White House officials would add
nothing to the formal statement, and
no one processing 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 General Bliss as one Of the
representatives.

Food Administrator
Appeals for Stricken
Europe.
AMERICA MUST.
FEED THE HUNGRY
Hundreds of Millions of People
Look to America to Save Them
From Starvation--Says End.
ing of War Does Not Release
People From Pledge.

Washington, Dec. 1.-American
food conservation week for world re-
lief opened today with an appeal
from Food Administrator Hoover,
which was read in the churches over
the country.
Mr., Hoover, who is now in. Eu-
rope arranging fol. food supplies for
the populations of that country, said
the people Of the United States now
have opportunity for renewed ser
vice to mankind by helping through
conservation of food here. to feed
800, 100000 hungry. people in North
ern France, Belgium, Russia, South
ern Europe, Poland and Armenia,
The food administration also dis.
cusssed the; pledge given last summer
to the inter-allied food council by the
American government to. meet the
food program of the allies and said
the ending of the war does not re-
lease the American people from that
pledge. "
"The same populations must be
fed", the message said, "and until
another season has passed they can
not feed themselves. -, ....
'sIn addition to the supplying Of
France, Serbia, Rumania, Montene-
gro, Poland, Russia and Armenia rely
upon America for immediate help.
We must also participate in the con-
servation of the newly liberated ma
tions in Austria. Nor can we ignore
the effect on the future world devel-
opments of q famine condition among
these other people whom we have re-
Gently released from our enemies.
GAIL these considerations mean that
upwards OF 2OO,OOU,UOO people IN ao-
dition to those we are already pledg-
ed to serve are now looking to US in
their misery and famine. Our ap-
peal today is, therefore, larger than
the former appeal to the war con-
science of our people,"

Washington, Nov. 30.-Boston,

war department now plan for use
for the return of the army from ov-
erseas. Even with this wide distri-
button of the strain on port facilities
and transportation however, and
with German ships now idle in Ger

careful estimates show that the last
of the army could not possibly reach
the United States in less than eight
Conservative calculations
upon which preparations by the de-
partment probably will be based, fix
ed ten months as the minimum. ,
These estimates have been made
wholly on the basis of the physical
difficulties to be overcome and do not
take into consideration the question
of the retention in Europe for some
time of an American force which
may be agreed upon at the peace
If the return movement
in progress is continued at
full speed, the last division in all
probability. could not reach the Unit
