ond, because the agreements, which

Diplomatic results mentioned in the

erals
The naval results included the for

ell to secure cooperation of the Uni
ted States and its associates; an agree
ment with the British admiralty: the
formation of more definite naval plans
for the use of our ships; an agreement
whereby we get complete naval in
formation and the reorganization of
American naval forces at French
ports.
Regarding military matters the con-

diplomats resulted in an understand

efforts to be aimed at by the United
States; the starting of a movement to-

LANSING GIVES OUT STATEMENT
OF ACTIVITIES OF The COUNCIL
Secretary of State Shows Great Work Done by
Meeting in Europe Toward Consolidating In
terests of the Countries at War With Military
Despotism.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2-The United
States in effect made reply to the lat
est German peace program this al
tsrnoon. Secretary of State Lansing
made public a summary of the report
of Colonel E. NJ House and the Ameri-
can war mission which has just re-
turned from Europe. The report show
ed no indication of any weakening in
the determination of the country to
win the war. On the contrary, it in
dictated that the war was won by the
allies and showed how it can be.
Three very important recommends
tions featured the report of Colonel
House as made public by Mr.. Lansing.
They we're:
That the fighting forces of the Uni
ted States be dispatched to Europe
with the least possible delay incident
to training and equipment.
That the United States exert all of
its influence to secure entire unity of
effort-military naval and economic
between America and the countries as
ISOLATED with it in the war.
That, inasmuch as the successful
termination OF the war by the United
States and the allies can greatly be
hastened by the extension of the Uni
ted States shipping program, that the

government and the people of the
United States bend every effort to-
wards accomplishing this result by
a systematic coordination of men and
materials
The report summarizes at length all
OF the work of the mission.
The report, as made public by Sec
rotary Lansing in opening, says:
"A review of the report. filed with
the department of state by Colonel
House, the head of the special war
mission, which visited Great Britain
and France in November, shows that
it succeeded in its purpose of reach

is in the various fields of activity
and through marshalling the resourc-
es of the nations at war with the cen
trail powers and cO-ordinating their
use under common authority, avoiding
the waste and uncertainties that arise
from Independent action.
THE results of the conferences
were most gratifying to this govern
ment, first, because they indicate that
the conferees were inspired by the de-
sire to be mutually helpful, and, sec

the amounts that must be supplied

was necessary in order that the neces-
sary data could be made available.
The curve of shipments of food
stuffs required from North America
for the United Kingdom, France and
Italy will be fixed for the year end
ing 1918.
"In order to permit the United
States to visualize the problem of
food control in North America, plans
were worked out whereby the gov
ernments of Great Britain, France
and Italy agreed to put into effect a
legalized and compulsory control of
foodstuffs in these countries.
"The creation by the interallied con-
ferences in Paris of an international
scientific committee on alimentation
to consist of two representatives each
of the United States, Great Britain,
France and Italy. This committee to
be in continuous session in Europe
for the purpose of studying the aim
enation of the allies. This committee
stands in an advisory capacity to the
food administrations of the aforenam-
ed countries.
DIR. Taylor, the representative of
the food administration on the mis-
sion, represented the United States de-
partment or agriculture in a confer
ence held in Paris to consider the
problems of food production in the
allied countries, during the year 1918.
AT this conference an interallied COM
mlttee was established to consist of
one delegate each from the United
States, Great Britain, France and
Italy to sit continuously in Europe
and to act in an advisory capacity to
the governments named.
