Department. and a group of destroyers
will so out Of France to meet the party
at the Azores.
This feet, IL is said, will serve as a
complete mlne-sweeping squadron and
If there is any danger from mines IL
will be reduced TO a minimum. Secre-
tary Of the Navy Daniels pointed out
today there can be no absolute assure
ance OF absence OF mines around ports
at this time. Careful sweeping. how
ever, is rapidly removing this danger.
The George Washington is sailing dl-
rect for France and vii make Brest its

It should dock there at the end OF

Il was not desired that the Presiden-
tial party should arrive before that

GARFIELD QUITS;
HOOVER OUT, TOO
Fuel Chief Will Leave End
of Month--Food Con-
troller Has Big Task
WAS RELIEVED
TWO WEEKS AGO

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Dr. Harry A.
Garfield has resigned as Fuel Admins
traitor and his resignation has been ac-
cepted by President Wilson, 1t was an
nounced at the White House last night.
At the same time it was learned that
Herbert Hoover by an executive order
signed more than two weeks ago ceased
TO all intents and purposes to be Food
Administrator of the United States.
DR.. Garfield. II is understood, is to
retain his office until the end Of this
month, when he will resume his posi-
ton as president OF Williams College.
The Fuel Administration, however, Is
to continue, In all probability, until
the end Of the winter.
By the executive order referred TO
during Mr.. Hoover's absence abroad all
the powers and authority delegated to
Mr.. Hoover by the President have been
assigned to Edgar Rickard. Mr.. Hoover,
however, is to remain the nominal head
Of the Food Administration, the order
made clear, and the business Of the
Food Administration is to be continued
in his name.
There is a strong belief in official cir
cles here that Mr.. Hoover will not
remaining period before formal peace
is established through treaty. The law
under which the Food Administration
is organized puts an end TO the powers
Of the Food Administrator when the
treaty of peace is ratified.
Mr.. Hoover, II is believed here, will
occupy himself for months to come
with the rationing Of Europe, practi-
cally OF the entire world, and Will never
resume his duties here. This means
that Mr.. Rickard from now until the
Food Administration is dissolved, will
be Food Administrator for the United
States in everything but name.
All remaining restrictions on the
use and consumption Of coal except In
connection with anthracite, as well as
the fixed prices and the zone limits will
be removed by the Fuel Administration
within the next ten days, 1t was learned
yesterday. Cancellation orders have
been drawn, and in accordance with
President Wilson's view that the coun-
try can be adjusted TO the new condi-
tions with less trouble If left unham-
pered by a reconstruction program OF
the government, will be issued as rap
idly as conditions Of the next few days
will permit.
Mr.. Rlckard came to Washington from
Madison, Wis, when the Food Admins
tration was first organized, and was ap-
pointed as assistant to Mr.. Hoover. For
several years he had been connected
with the College Of Agriculture Of the
University Of Wisconsin.
