Mr.. Hooycr's statement follows

The food problem in Eurone TO-
day is one of extreme compjexity.
OF their 42O,0O000O persons prac-
tlcally only three areas, namely
South Russia, Hungary and Den
mark, comprising say 4OO0OOO0,
have sufficient food supplies to last
until next harvest without imports.
Some must have immediate relief.
we have surplus OF some 49,
OoO,OOO tons OF food ii we are econo-
mlcal, so that the situation can be
handled II this and the other smaller
SurpluSes IN the world can be trans
ported.
"All continental Europe has re-
duced herds and is consequently
short OF meats and especially fats.
The countries have their last harvest
and, under orderly governments,
this would furnish breadStuifs and
vegetables Tor various herds from
two months upwards, depending
upon the ratio OF industrial popula-

OF peoples are now in social disor-

Help Little Allies First.
"Our first and deepest concern
now must be for the little allies who
were under the woke; they are the
Belgians. Scrbians. Rnmanians.
Greeks. Czcchs. ueo- -Slays and 9th

DAN MARIA BAGS TIE ONLY FOX

Pitiless publicity was to blame, to a considerable extent, said some of the fox hunters of the town Thursday night, for the fact that but one fox was shot in the Thanksgiving day roundup in the Wauwecus Hill neigh borhood. One of the most veracious and best known of the hunters even came in with the story that one day this week he caught sight of chipper looking dos-fox sitting crosslegged on a rail fence out that way anxiously scanning last Saturdays Bulletin, in which the full details of the hunt were set forth. After that he said he knew it was all off, for every willy old Key nard in two counties would quickly get the news, and the word would be passed to lie low on Tadma on Thanksgiving day.
 Such proved to be the case. too, for up until late in the evening it ap- peared that the hunters had been skunked and hadn't even got a shot at streak of rapidly disappearing red fur. But along about 3 o'clock M F.. Pounch of this city, who was one of the prime movers in the hunt, got a telephone message from Dan Marra a noted Salem hunter, that he had shot a fox just as it was growing dusk.
 
 every one was agreed. There were some 15 dogs in all on hand, tuned up for the occasion, with about 25 hunters and those who came to see the hunt, the 10 gallons of chowder that they consumed in the neighbor- hood of Ed Lathrop's cider mill was pronounced the finest chowder that ever splashed from a ladle, the keg of russet cider was exquisitely mellow, and the apples and cigars were the best that could be wished.
 As far as the hunting honors of the day went, they were accorded to Charles Alexander's old New England hounds, it was reported Thursday night. They started their first fox about 65o in the morning and ran him as far as Tadma pond. But here the willy Reynard played a little trick on the dogs that earned him his life. He ventured out on the thin ice on the lower end of the pond and was making good progress across until he struck a soft spot and went into the water The dogs followed on to the ice, but il

BOYS PERPETUATED
 USUAL NORWICH CUSTOM

The time -honored custom of burning barrels on Thanksgiving night was carried out on Thursday night by the various gangs of boys in the city who built their fires on all the high hills surrounding the town. The display this year was not so large as in years previous owing to the fact that car Her in the fall Mayor Desmond re- quested that the boys refrain from burning barrels owing to war condi7 tons. With the signing of the armis tice and the war over the boys took it for granted that the ban on barrel burning was off and started out to get them but owing to the short length of time they were not able to accu- mulate the usual numbers.
 There were fires in several places on the West Side. Greeneville, Laurel Hill and on Franklin street The rain which started early in the evening kept away the usual crowds that ga- ther to see the large strings of barrels burn

was too thin to bear their weight and the fox escaped by. swimming ashore
 About 9 o'clock Alexander's dogs started another fox on Bear Hill. This was the one that Nara shot after an all-day chase by the dogs. The fox hunters claimed that the performances of the day had only borne out Alex ander's arguments that he preferred the old New Englands every time. The thoroughbred Walkers from the south that were entered by one or two hunters failed to make a showing in the hunt
 It was reported also that Anse Bur- gess' dog ran fox for considerable distance, but no one got shot at him.
 Honors for being early on the field were accorded to Reuben P. Potter and John Lyman, who were reported to have been waiting on Tadna as early as 5.30, prepared to get the first fox that left his nest
 When the crowd gathered for the chowder, the sharpshooters tried their skill and a lot of powder was burned in trick and fancy shooting to the edification of the onlookers. A flock of ducks on Tadma pond also furnish ed targets for those who wanted to try their sights.
 All present expressed their inten- tion to be on hand for the next hunt that will be arranged for the not far distant future.

BRITISH ARMIES HAD 4,oo0
 CASES OF ENTERfC FEVER

London, Nov. 2S.-In the great war the British armies had only 4,000 cases of enteric fever in over four years. despite the fact that the troops have frequently been billeted in areas in fested with the disease. This is at tributed to the efforts of the British Army Medical Service. Medical off, cers say that illness among the Brit ish army has been reduced to a mini mum. Sanitation and inocuiation have been primarily responsible for this happy state of affairs
 To understand the strides that have been made it must be remembered that during the two and half years Of the South African war there were more than 50,000 cases of enteric among a force of 2ee, ,e0o men and this in country practically immune from the disease up to the outbreak of hos tilities
 Throughout the British army in France infectious diseases have been practically eliminated. Every officer in the British army has been given a course in sanitation. Successful tox- ins and vaccines have been invented for gas, gangrene. etc. and huge strides have been made in the advance of surgery.

Kane and Police man Matthew Delaney, as develop ment of a case in which a complaint was made last August, but which was dropped at that, time tt is understood because of lack of evidence.
 4 clue that the police ran across Thursday night reopened the case and resulted in the finding of four coats, which it is claimed were in a trunk that B. Mandell bought from P.
