.oover Suggests
Action Here on
New Milk Prices

Herbert c, Hoover United States
'ood Administrator. was questioned
before he sailed yesterday on the re
cent increase in milk prices in New
York City.
The Labor Adjustment Board raised
wages equivalent to one cent quart
he said. "Some one has to pay, and it
is always the poor consumer You
cannot have raises in labor without af-
iecting prices. 1t is hopeless to at
tempt it,
He declared that accountants showed
that the milk companies are losing
money and must get up to the point
where they pay costs. or they will
have to go into bankruptcy" They arc
making no money now on the increased
prices, he said.
Mr. Hoover said that he made no
suggestion to hand the matter over to
the Mayor, but had said that local au-
thorities should get together on the
question. The Federal Food Admins
tration, be said, does not relish a job
as umpire.
The Administrator will spend about
a week n England before beginning his
food survey on the Continent. He is
expected to return just before Christ

until Sunday afternoon, when great
crowd Of German troops gathered be-
fore Care du Nord Forming a process
sion and without arms, ten abreast
they began to march through the city
with red flags flying. Here and there
even the French tricolor suddenly ap
peared from It thesranks.
After a period of bewilderment 1t
was realized what this meant, and the
Belgian civilians along the pavements
began to cheer and there were cries
of Long live Belgium! Long live

From the balconies and windows
handkerchiefs waved and tremendous
outburst of joy and pent up. feeling
found expression.
The procession, consisting of, Ssomc
5000 soldiers, marched to the Bourse

cheering and waving the Belgian flag.
At this place Doelart German sol

His words were greeted with waving of

The Belgian population made the
first tria. of the new liberty before the
royal palace, where they assembled and
chcercd for the King and Queen, Al
the theatre matinees the "Marseil-

sung amid great emotion.
Meantime revolutionary troops occu-
pied the important points as well as
the post and telegraph Offices. At one
of the squares was gun carriage deco
rated with Belgian flags, and around
this the people danced in enthusiasm.
An air flight over the city about 8
p m. attracted only the smallest notice.
Everything passed without the least
disorder before the eyes Of the aston

In the evening there was little
more excitement in the streets. Some
sheds on the Place de la Monnaie were
set on fire, but apart from this there
Was nothing in the way Of disorder.

Sweeping through the German army in
Belgium the revolution has been pro-
ducing scenes most unlocked for in
character, as, for instance, the spec
tacle of few German soldiers left in
Salzaete dancing with the first Of the
Belgian troops to arrive with the red
flag, now flying both over Brussels and
Antwerp.
The news of the Kaiser's abdication
was known on Saturday. The follow
ing days the Soldiers and Workmen's
Council was formed and great meet
ing was held that afternoon in the
square before the station and was at
tended by sailors, soldiers and Belgian
burghers. Speakers in behalf of the
soldiers declared that the latter de-
sired to be regarded no longer as op
pressors but as brothers, and that they
wished to put everything in order 50
their departure might be regarded as
the departure of friends. At the close
of the meeting procession of soldiers
and citizens marched through the town.
Most Of the German officers at their
club or the Hotel Weber surrendered
their arms to the military governor
and placed themselves at the disposal
of the council.
The red flag was flown with the Ger
man colors on one, side of it and the
Belgian on the other. The soldiers
wore red armlets and carried red flow
ers in their rifle barrels. After slight
resistance by the guards the prison
was opened and military and political
prisoners were liberated. Among them
was British soldier and the Germans
hoisted him on their shoulders and
carried him out in triumph to Brussels.

England Plans to
Find Places for ALI
Its Returned Troops
Civilian War Workers Also
Assured Employment by
Reconstruction Plans

LONDON, Nov. 16.-Each British sol
dier viii be provided with employment
after the great armies in the field have
been demobilized, according to com
prehensivc plans which are now being
worked OUT by the government. The
machinery Of war will he turned into
machinery Of peace as expeditiously as
possible, so that there will be no period
OF stagnation, during which there
might be much distress.
Money grants to civilians and former
soldiers who are unemployed owing to
peace are to be provided. These grants
will run for thirteen weeks for civilians
and twenty-six weeks for discharged
soldiers.
Going Back to Old Jobs
Men employed in pivotal industries"
and mines will be the first to be dis
charged from the army, and workers
in other trades will be released accord
ing to national needs. Married men
will receive preference. For year
after the war permanent appointments
to the civil service will be reserved to
officers and soldiers.
Plans are being worked out TO give
soldiers special facilities to obtain
land. Men from the dominions en-
ployed at war work in England will be
quickly released. The Ministry of Mu-
ntions will be supplanted by the Min
istry of Supply, which will dispose of
war stores the value of which is esti
mated at $4,000, 100000. Production of
materials needed in the building trades
will be expedited.
Wages Not Lowered
Iron and steel will be released from
control at once and other metals will
be placed on the pre-war basis in six
months.
There has been no general discharge
of munition workers as yet. The scale
Of war wages in all trades continues
high because of the high prices Of
necessaries Of life.

They cannot, in my opinion, be dealt
with without disaster or party lines.
Unity Is Necessary
1T is vital that the national unity,
which has made possible victory in
war, should be maintained until at
least the main foundations of national
and international reconstruction have
been securely lsid.''
The Premier says Parliament re-
turned to support the coalition gov
ernment would fulfill this essential
condition, and would also be possessed
both of the necessary authorities and
the unity of purpose alike rs TO prin~
ciples and methods to enable the Brit
ish government to deal effectively with
the peace problems which will con-
front it.
If an election on these lines takes
place he recognizes there must be such
statement OF policy as will retain the
support of the Unionist and Liberal
parties.
Dealing with imperial preference, the
Premier says:
81 have already accepted the policy
Of imperial preferences as defined in
resolutions o9 the imperial conference
to the effect that the preference will
be given on existing duties and on
any duties which may subsequently be
imposed
No Tax on Food

policy does not include tax on food

LONDON, Nov Premier Lloyd
George, Chancellor of the EXchequer
Bonar Law and George n. Barnes, mem
ber of the War Cabinet, the leaders of
the coalition government, opened the
general election campaign this morn
ing by ADDRESSING a large and enthusi-
astic meeting IN Central Hall, West
minister. The Premier pres ided
Mr.. Lloyd George said the new Par
lament would be the most important
ever elected in the history of the coun
try. Continuing, he sad
The war has revealed the defects of
the old system and we will be wise to
take note of and remedy them. We
cannot return to the old conditions.
Opportunities Are Great
"If Parliament rises to the level OF
its great opportunities, then the en-
pire and the throne Will be firmly es-
tablished on the only solid basis-that
of a contonted and happy people.
The old Parliament has served its
use, and there is no time to lose, as
somebody must go to the peace CON
ference with the authority Of the peo-
pie behind him. There is no use talk
ing of blank checks. That is only talk
ing blank nonsense.
"Thc question is: What body Of mon
is going to settle the problems Of re-
construction Recruiting statistics
have revealed the terrible conditions as
regards the physical health of the ma
ton. This is due not to poverty but
to neglect.
Food Is Big Problem
''The health Of the people must be
the special concern of the state. What
we have done toward feeding ourselves
in the past is like feeding hungry
giant with a teaspoon"
The Premier hoped that many Of the
British soldiers on their return would
be settled on the land The develop
ment of transport and electricity would
have to be taken in hand, he said. All
the problems of reconstruction must
be faced by Britishers as patriots and
not as partisans. Every party he de-
c!ared, had its good traditions, and
these it would like to forget. For the
next four and d half years, the Pre-
mier said, he wanted to see ell parties
united with the best traditions Of all.
Quizzed by Auditor
A voice: "What about the discharged
soldiers party?"
The Premier: Surely that is not 4
separate party, and the general cleo
tion will prove it,"
The remark was greeted with cheers
The opposition, Mr.. Lloyd George
continued, was organized for fault-f find
ing and made for delay. For organized
labor to withdraw from the coalition
at the present moment, he declared,
was the height of folly. He had not
the slightest doubt that the workers Of
the country would condemn that action.
The coalition had been in office two
years, and the nation could see what
it had done. He only claimed for it
that it had done everything possible
"to help our soldiers and sailors and
our allies to win the war by finance,
transport, food organization and NUM-
tions Of war"
