London, Feb. 2O-The British prime
minister in statement before the
House of Comons today on the decis-
ions of the supreme war council at
Versailles, paid high tribute to the
plan submitted by the American re-
presentatives.
IF should read the document sub

George, there would be no need to
make this speech. The case is pre-
sented with irresistible power and
logic"
General Tasker H. Bliss, the Ameri-
can chief of staff, represented the
United State at the war council. He
was attended by Arthur H. Frazier,
secretary Of the American embassy in
Paris, who acted as diplomatic Of
ficer to report the proceedings.
One Policy for All
The policy adopted by the supreme
war council, Premier Lloyd George de-
clared, was not the policy Of the Brit
ish government alone but of all the
allied governments in concert. There
is absolutely no difference between
our policy and the policy of France,
Italy and America in this respect"
he said.
The premier's statement was made
Immediately upon the conclusion of
the questions in the house, when the
army estimates were introduced. This
gave Mr.. Lloyd George an opportunity
to explain the changes in the chief OF
staff and the various important mat
ters decided upon at the Versailles
conference.
He was loudly cheered when he
said he hoped that whatever he said
today would be treated as a question
Of policy and not of personality. Ii
there had been any delay or apparent
hesitation in the announcement of any
decisions of the government because
there was any doubt In the minds Of
the administration with regard to
their policy, but because they were
extremely anxious that the decision
when announced would be freed from
any element of personality.

Secretary Hellstrom in an official

Food Administrator Hoover as fol-

'"The problem of getting food to our
soldiers overseas and to the soldiers
and war workers of our allies and
their women and children includes not
only the finding Of the food, but the
finding of the ships in which to send
it. No amount of increased produc-
ton, decreased food for us, or general
food substitution and saving will help
unless the ships are available for send
ing the saved food over there. My
anxieties about ships are no less SER
ious and numerous than those about
food ITSELF Hence it is with the ut
most eanestness that | endorse the
idea of creating volutary reserve of
men from which the man-power neces-
sary to solve the great problem of
shipping can be recruited as rapidly
as it can be used.
There are many more ways than
fighting by which the loyal men of
America can do their share in win
ming the war. Not all can fight, but
all can help in some way. For every
army of fighters there is necessary

AusTRiANs INDIGNANT

London, Feb. 2O.-Germany's new:
war against Russia apparently is not
popular with the German or Austrian
people, according to comment In the
press Of the two countries. When the
.Brest-Litvosk negotiations closed, all
talk in Germany was Of peace. The
school children apparently did not dis
criminate between peace with the Uk-
raine and with Great Russia, but ac-
claimed it as a genera lpeace with
Russia.
The Vossische Zeitung emphasizes
this point and wants an explanation
OF who was responsible for this dis
appointment. The Socialist Vorwa-
erts says:
,"'The more we meddle in Russian
affairs, the more we get away from
peace. What must be done is to stick
to the defense of our own soil, and
to make peace wherever possible
without annexation or suffer amputa-
tiOns." I'll
