YANKEE ESCORT
FOR PRESIDENT
Only S. WaTShipS Will Usher
Him Into BreSt.

London, Dec 2.-PreSident Wilson
on reaching European waters in all
likelihood will be escorted TO BreSt
by only American warshipS, but by
formidable array of them.
In view of the lack of official mott
tication regarding Mr.. Wilson's trip,
it is understood that neither the
French nor the British governments
have been requested to aid in the ma
val reception. The British authorities,
however, unotficially are discussing
plans to welcome the American presi.
dent, should he come to London.
American battleship commanders,
probably all nine of them in these
waters, are understood to be holding
themselves in readipeSS to proceed to
a point 100 miles o. so off Brest to
meet the presidential liner and the
battleship accompanying it across the
Atlantic. II is probable that twenty
four American torpedo destroyers will
join in the reception.

PROVED SPIRIT
OF DEMOCRACY
Voluntary Basis of Food Saving
Showed Heart of America
Beat True for Freedom.

To the voluntary service and sacri-
fee of the American people must be
attributed the continued health,
strength and morale of the Allied ar
mics and the civil populace.
Upon this spirit of service and sac
rifice will depend Europe's fate in the
months to come. In the past year we
have carried out an export program,
the magnitude of which is almost be-
yond comprehension. But with the
new demands that have come, with
the liberation of nations freed from
German oppression, our exports must
be almost doubled. Instead of II, $780,
900 tons, we must ship twenty million
tons of food to Europe in the coming
year-as much as can be pushed
through our ports.
America, it would have been impos-
sible for them TO maintain their de-
tense against Germany
Meeting this world need on a purely
voluntary basis, the American people
have conclusively proved that democ-
racy is a success ana that in time of
need 1T will rise to its own defense.
If there were no other accomplish
ment to its credit the very fact that it
has shown the strength of democracy
has in itself more than justified the
existence of the Food Administration
in the eyes of the world.
Less than four months after the
United States declared war the United
States Food Administrator expressed
his determination to meet Americas
food problem on a basis of voluntary
action and reiterated his confidence
irresistible.
sMany thinking Americans" said
Mr.. Hoover, land the whole world
have been watching anxiously the Last
four months In the fear that demo-
cratic America could not organize to
meet autocratic Germany. Germany
has been confident that it could not be
done. Contrary proof is Immediately
at our door, and our people have al
ready demonstrated their ability to
mobilize, organize, endure and prepare
voluntarily and efficiently in many d.
rections and upon the mere word of
inspiration aside from the remarkable
assemblage of our Army and finances"
The history of the Food Administra-
ton has clearly shown that the trust
Of those who put their faith in democ-
facy has not been misplaced.
