 iIOovcr's Problems. .. -..
 Food problems have come in for much consideration by the war cab inet. Nr. Hoover is understood to have received approval for any fur thcr restrictions on consumption here that he may deem advisable to enable this country to fill it's pled- ecs of food to the allies. The i'm presslon also has been gained that the President i5 prepared to stand by his original price of $2.20 for wheat, if the bill to increase tho price to S2.50 should become d law. Food ad- miniStratiOn officials have hccn Wor- rlcd because an increase would de- strOy the r"tio hotWccD tho prices of wheat and sugar, and might lead to a conversion of sugar beet acreage 70 wheat unless | complete revision in sugar prices was made.
 Domestic affairs closely related to production of war materials also have come up for discussion, one of the most important having been the of fuel 70 New England.
 All the problems hinge on ship ping, because all of the work of both cabinets is bent Oil the one object of to a successful conclls- ion the war overseas. The meeting of all the other chiefs with Mr. Hur- ley has, resulted in a general under standing of the needs of each other.
 Altogether the result of the of the war cabinets work was described to- day by one of it's members as haV- ing been to enable all of them to keep step.'

'eruses After the oeeupation.- The
scenes Of happiness at Bruges eclipsed
those at Lille after the liberation Of
the two cities. according to the corre-
spondent Of the London Daily Mall.
During the occupation Of Bruges By
the Germans, the people were not al
lowed to receive news from the outer
world or from their friends inside the
German lines, unless the news was
handled by the German officers. The
correspondent writes:
when the only American woman
left In Bruges was told Of the deeds Of
in France. she cried with
oh. IL had only known
that
'Bruges was fined enormous sums
on various occasions" the correspond
ent says. "and everything made Of
metal was taken away. The city was
searched four times for copper. The
works at Bruges were robbed of every
scrap of machinery. The German paid
for nothing except food and drink and
then only In paper money. The town
itself Is intact and the old belfry and
the front Of Hotel d'ville are uninjur-
ed. Most Of the pictures remain IN the
gallery and Bruges seems to be az rest
full as in old days, except that all the
bridges are gone. German mines COM
pleted the work done by British tor
pedoes which were launched at the
submarine base at Bruges."

and hypocrisy than he prepared bombs

passing VIGOROUSLY out Of the military
stage Of this great war, but the diplo-
matte stage will be the critical stage
Of the conflict. The Germans have
many moves prepared on the chess
board. For ourselves, We deny the
right Of the criminal to sit at the table

BY the same token, do we deny the
right Of every one Of neutral states

United States, with the other Allied
peoples. There should be no discussion

the esdock. Her only function Is to
stand and listen to the sentence inn

presidents overtures. She then enter
ed upon an orgy Of cruelty and de-
struction. and lost the right to accept
Mr.. Wilson's overtures. Moreover,
conditions have now so changed that II
Germany conceded every one OF these
fourteen points, and withdrew her
army from Belgium, France, Italy,
Serbia, Turkey, Armenia, Ukraine, Po-
land, Russia, 1t would still remain true
that by reason Of her financial pene-
tration she would have US beaten into

Sunday to the question OF righteous
peace, and that involves an analysis OF
Germany's financial and industrial
penetration through her control by
bonds and stocks or the natural re-
sources Of the countries through from
Switzerland east to Russia and Siberia.
Today she can withdraw her armies,
pay an enormous indemnity. and by
her financial penetration and control
carry off 80 per cent Of the fruits OF
her victories. The hour Is big with
destiny. Every moment Is critical. The
only safe word is unconditional sur

of the situation by the greatest intel

upon repentance. restitution and JUS

for 25 years under an international
committee that will seek to change her
spirit and prepare her morally for the
hour when she can be trusted to take
her place in THE League Of Free Peo-

Associated Press Service:
PARIS, Nov. 27.-The question Of
conducting the proceedings of the
peace congress in English is being
discussed, with some prospect that
this innovation vii be brought about
II 1t is, it will be the first great in
ternational congress with English as
the official language, as French has
long been recognized as the medium
OF diplomacy.
For practical reasons. it is said.
the use of the English language
would be more convenient to a
larger number of the delegates than
French, for during the sessions of
the inter allied conference, all but
two Of the delegates spoke English.
whereas a considerable number did
not speak French and were unable
to understand the proceedings when
French was used.
The printed record Of the daily
proceedings will be in both French
and English for the convenience OF
all. and in addition, several of the
governments probably will have
their own publications, dealing with
the developments.
Consider Economic Questions.
Economic questions are coming
prominently TO the front in connec-
ton with the presence here Of Her
bert c. Hoover. the American food
administrator, who was joined to-
day by Edward y. Hurley, chairman
Of the shipping board. They con-
ferred lengthily this afternoon at
Col. Houses residence on food dis
tribution and tonnage.
France needs a considerable
amount of tonnage for the rehabili-
tation of her merchant shipping lost
during the war and through en-
forced inactivity of her shipyards
during the war. One plan is a gov
ernmental project involving the ex-
penditure of approximately 1.000,-
100000 francs.
There has been considerable dis
cussion also concerning the amount
OF tonnage likely to come from the
United States. following on Capt
Tardieu's statement recently that he
had been assured Of 10000 tons.
The presence Of Mr.. Hurley is giving
an opportunity TO go over these and
other shipping questions.
