ARMY WILL USE
SURPLUS FOOD
Supply Now in France Will BE
Needed, but Other Extra Equip
ment Win BE Sold.

WASHINGTON, Nov 1.-THE
problem Of selling surplus materials
after the rehabilitation Of 3,700, 900
men Of the United States Army and
also of buying the surplus will not
be difficult one, according to Army
officials who will have charge Of the
function. These officers divide
possible surplus into the itsms sf
food, transportation (vshiclss) asd
guns and munitions and horsss.
One of the authorities said tonieht
there would not be any surplus fssd
for the world for the next 1--WE ysars.
He said the army in Earope has a.
bout six months supply Of food n
head, but Chairman Hurley, of the
Shipping Board, had engaged to
bring back the army 100000 per
month, so it would be six to seven
months before all were home. There
will be no unnecessary accumula
tons Of food for an army that IS
going out Of existence. There will
be no bargains in army stores Of
that kind.
AS to munitions, guns, airplanes,
ETC., they always are to be a part
OF the army equipment and will not
be sold as there would be no domes-
tic buyers and they can be kept at
the arsenals till wanted again. The
manufacture OF powder, Of course.
will be on much smaller scale than
at the present rate Of 1900, 900 lbs.
a day.
The United States Army bought a
great many horses in France. They
will not be worth very much exccpt
In that country, as they have det-
eriorated materially, both as TO ar
tllery kind and the cavalry. Ouc
OF the officers said tonight these
horses were worked as horese we're
never worked before in any war. 1t
is possible he said, that horses which
were gathered here for Transports
ton abroad will not all be used in
the formation Of fifteen or twenty
regiments Of cavalry which will be
part of the new regular army. IL
there be any surplus in that limo Of
material, after the cavalry and ar
tillery have been supplied, there may
be sales Of animals.
A very large number Of trucks,
automobiles and similar vehicles it
was stated, undoubtedly will be
sold. This, however, is not to take
place for many months to come, and
there will be no sales until the reg
alar army boards Of survey, ap-
praisement, condemnation, etc, have
been appointed and agree on prices
and advertisements. 1t is not likely
that any vehicle or horse of valwe
will be sold, except after due adver-
yertisement.

PLENTY OF WHEAT WILL FEED
THE STARVING NATIONS.

WHEELING, w. Va. Nov goth
E. w. Oglebay, Federal Food Ad-
ministrator for West Virginia re-
turned Thursday from Washington
where he attended conference of
the Federal Food Administrators of
the various states. The meeting
was addressed by Herbert Hoover.
United States Food Administrator,
also by President Wilson.
With the closing of the war the
food problem looms up larger than
ever upon the map of the world,
and it seems that almost all Of
Europe will need some help in the
way of food supply until the
European nations can adjust them
selves to peace conditions and re-
turn to the soil to produce other
crops. Not only France and Bel
GUM, Austria, Turkey and the Holy
Land are in need of food, but now
the German people make an appeal
for foodstuffs from the United
States, and this assistance abs been
promised them by Presidet Wilson
if a guarantee can be made that
peace and order will be maintained
in the German territory and prop
err distribution of the food furnish-
ed will be had.
Mr.. Hoover emphasized the fact
upon the Federal Food Administra-
tors that there must be no letting
up in the work of providing food
stuffs for transportation to Europe.
While some restrictions are being
taken off especially as to wheat re-
quiring no further substitute to be
used with wheat flour, ad by in
creasing the sugar allowance to four
pounds per month, still there is a
demand for conservation and the
saving of all foods to meet the
European demand.
Mr.. Hoover has promised to have
200,0 900 tons of food from this
country into Europe within ten days
and he himself will go to Europe
as chairman of the Belgian Relief
Committee to take charge of the
larger problem of feeding all the
other nations now upon the verge
of starvation.
Mr. Oglebay says that every eff
fort will be made by the Food Ad
~ 10
save every pound of food that is
possible, and that the people of the
state will be continually informed
of such needs as long as they exist.
He says there are three reasons for
relaxing upon the conservation Of
wheat-one is that storage facilities
are not sufficient to hold the wheat
for shipment, and that there being
a greater demand than ever for
fats, butter, etc, that the increased
consumption Of wheat will increase
the mill feed supply thereby insuring
greater supply of fats for trans
portation.
Another reason is the fact that
the prospect for next years crop is
very good, and as the world is being
adjusted to peace conditions, there
will be no longer the great neces-
sity of maintaining the large re-
| serve of wheat to meet the war e.
mergency. From statistical reports
Of experts who have figured upon
| the wheat crop for the coming year,
it is said that the crop will be even
greater than that of the present year
which was the largest in the his
tory of the country, ard will be
sufficient to take care Of all our
needs without the reserve unless
some unforeseen calamity such as a
drought destroys the wheat crop.

NOV. 20 THANKSGIVING DAY.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Thurs-
day, November 20 is set as this
years day of Thanksgiving and
prayer" in the following proclama-
ton issued by President Wilson to-
day:
st has long been our custom to
turn in the Autumn of the year in
praise and thanksgiving to Almighty
God for His many blessings and mer
cies to us as a nation. This year
we have special and moving cause to
be grateful and to rejoice. God has
in His good pleasure given us peace
1t has not come as mere cessation
OF arms, mere relief from the
strain and tradegy Of war. 1t has
come as great triumph Of right.
Complete victory has brought us
not peace alone, but the confident
promise of new as well, in which
justice shall replace force and jeal-
GUS intrigue among the nations.
"Our gallant armies have partic-
ipated in triumph which is not
marred or stained by any purpose of
selfish aggression. In a righteous
cause they have won immortal glory
and have nobly served their nation
in serving mankind
"God has indeed been gracious.
We have cause for such rejoicing as
revives and strengthens in us all the
best traditions of our national his
tory. A new day shines about US,
IN which our hearts take new cour-
age and look forward with new
hope to new and greater duties.
While we render thanks for
these things, let us not forget to
seek the Divine guidance in the per
formances of those duties, and Divine
mercy and forgiveness for all errors
OF act or purpose and pray that in
all we do we shall strengthen the
ties of friendship and mutual res
pect upon which we must assist in
to build the new structure of peace
and good will among the nations.
Wherefore, I, Woodrow Wilson,
President Of the United States of A.
merica, do hereby designate Thurs
day, the twenty-eighth day Of No
vember next, as a day of Thanks
giving and prayer, and invite the
people throughout the land to cease
upon that day from their ordinary
occupations and in their several
homes and places of worship to rem
der thanks to God, the Ruler of Ma
tions.
I'm witness whereof, have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be af-
fixed.
Done in the District of Columbia

the year of our Lord one thousand
nine hundred and eighteen and of
the Independence of the United States
of America the one hundred and
forty third.
