GO TO HE'LL, WITH MY
COMPLIMENTS SAID HOOVER

Washington, Dec. 2S.-Food Ad-

ranging relief for the peoples of the
war-devastated territories, has re-
fused in emphatic terms to discuss
German food conditions with Baron
Won Der Lancken and DR.. Rieth,
who sought meeting with the Food
Administrator.
A message from Paris said these
two German officials, who were
prominent in the German admins
tration of Belgium, wired from Ber-
lin to Walter Lyman Brown, director
of the commission for relief in Bel
GUM, that they had been appointed
by the German government to nego-
tiate with Mr.. Hoover for food sup
plies. In answer to the request for
conference Mr.. Hoover sent this
message:
"You can describe two and half
years of arrogance toward ourselves
and cruelty to the Belgians in any
language you may select, and tell the
pair personally to go to hell, with my
compliments. II I do have to deal
with Germans, it will not be with
pair.

EAGLE BOATS TO BECOME
PERMANENT FLEET UNITS

Washington, Dec. 2S.-Trials of
the Eagle boats have convinced navy
constructors that the little craft
turned out by the Ford plant at De-
troit to fight submarines were wor-
thy of taking their place as perma-
nent units of the fleet. 1t was learn
ed today that official reports to the
Navy Department giving full details
Of the trials show that in speed, sea-
worthiness and maneuvering ability
the new boats exceed all contract
requirements.
An average sustained speed of
1873 knots was made by the boat
used by the navy experts in their
tests. The vessels showed no signs
Of "buckling" under this gait.
1t already has been announced
that most of the Eagles completed
under the war contract will be util-
lied as gunboats.

q NATIONS TO
Be REPRESENTED
Delegates to Peace Conference
Will Number Over One
Hundred
NO NEUTRALS ADMITTED

Paris, Dec. 2S.-The personnel OF
the Peace Congress is gradually TAX
ing form, so that the American del
egates express the hope that the del
egations of the various countries
will be announced and that the dele
gates will arrive for the actual COM
mencement of the negotiations soon
after the opening Of the new year.
A number of the main details Of
the composition of the congress are
now fairly well settled as result of
recent conferences. These indicate
that the total membership of the
congress will be between 100 and
12O. There will be twenty--seven
countries represented by delegations
including those which declared war
and number which have come into
existence as result of the war.
The great powers, notably Great
Britain, France, the United States,
and Italy, each have allotted five
delegates, while the other delega-
tions will vary from one to four
members, according to the size of
the country and the interests involv-
ed
Allied representatives have decid-
ed that neutral nations shall not be
admitted to the Peace Conference.
Neutrals may address their claims to
belligerents, and any demands thus
made will be referred to a special
body which will be created by the
Peace Conference. 1t has been de-
cided, it is reported, that neutrals
shall be allowed to participate in the
deliberations incident to the forma-
tion of a League of Nations.
Word has been received that the
Belgian and Portuguese delegations
soon will join the representatives Of
the United States, who thus far are
the only members of the Peace Con-
gress to arrive. The nonarrival OF
the others has been the subject of
considerable surprise and adverse
comment. the Americans taking the
ground that they are here ready to
proceed to business, but with the
personnel of the congress not yet an
nounced. 1t is understood that
President Wilson's visit to England
is likely to result in conveying quite
definitely the view that it is highly
desirable that the congress should
be put into motion with the least
possible delay.

NEGRO LABOR
REMAINING NORTH

Washington Dec. 28.-The South
ern cotton fields are getting back
little of the negro labor attartced
North by the high wages Of war
plants, is shown by reports to the
Department Of Labor. Their exo-
dus caused serious labor shortage
in many localities.
In several districts, such as Ohio,
Pennsylvania and the Virginia tide
water, negro immigrants from Dixie
are already being absorbed by peace
industries. Although the labor de-
partment has not decided whether
to try to induce numbers Of these
laborers to return South, the en-
ployment service is already trying
to get better working conditions for
the negroes in the South, and is
making plans to absorb the discharg
ed soldiers.
The high cost of transportation
has been a factor hindering the re-
turn of this labor, department Off
cials believe. H igher wages for la
Dor in the South are destined to
come, some members Of \the depart
ment believe, in order toy adjust the
shortage caused by the exodus to
war plants.

EN7ERTA|NS
Sets Luncheon for Forty Amer
ican Editors in Office of
The London Times
NO MORE CENSORSHIP

London, Dec. 18.-Torty Ameri-
can newspaper correspondents who
are visiting London with President
Wilson'S party were entertained at
luncheon yesterday by Lord North
cliffe at the Times office and at din
ner last night by the Newspaper
IProprietors' Association.
The principal speeches delivered
at the luncheon were by Baron Burn
ham; Richard V. Oulaham, of New
York Times; David Lawrence Of the
New York Evening Post; Herbert
wope Of the New York World; Ad-
miral inns, commander of the Amer
ican naval forces, and Rabbi teph-
en- S. Wise, of New York.
Lord Northcliffe in welcoming his
guests, said they would find abso-
lutely no hostility to the United
States in England. Momentary in
stances Of irritation had faded away
and in the same way he was certain
some Of the supposed differences
about the mocing eace conference
would disappear in the capable
hands the United States and Great
Britain had placed them. Lord
Northcliffe added that he American
journalists had seen the kind Of
welcome President wilson had re-
ceived in London and that it was
unprecedented.
Baron Burnham, in extending
cordial welcome to the guests at the
luncheon, made strong plea for
the abolition of all censorship. He
said that il there had been more
real freedom Of the press and If Sc
crets had been more fully revealed,
there would have been no war.
At the dinner the guests includ-
ed, in addition to a number of on
don and provincial journalists, Am
erican Consul General kinner and
Sir Roderick Jones, head Of Reu-
ter's Limited.
Sir George Riddell of the Publish
er, said he believed the statements
that censorship had been decided
on for the peace conference, were
inaccurate.
I'VE shall start the conference
without censorship Sir George con-
tinued, "but it will be open to the
conference to pass resolutions as to
certain matters being kept secret.
I sincerely hope that they will not
take that course. am assured that
the British government is strongly
in favor of complete freedom of the
press"
The American journalists were
received at the foreign office atur-
day. Afterwards they will be ten
dered a reception by Premier Lloyd
George.
