Paris.-Backed by 500, 100000 voted
by congress, Herbert Hoover is here
directing Americas big part in feed
ing the famine-threatened nations Of
Europe.
But it is not the policy of Mr.. Hoov-
er's commission to give food away to
the peoples now so sorely pressed with
reconstruction problems. They must
pay-at once, whenever. possible.
When they cannot pay, they are to be
given credit, with security that will
insure America against total loss.
Any other policy would. mean the
pauperization Of Europe, and Hoover
has no intention whatever Of conduct
ing commission that would quickly
put the millions Of ROumania, Poland,
and Serbia, to say nothing Of. the en-
envy nations, into mighty bread line.
With this fundamental policy as the
basis of conducting gigantic relief
commission, Mr.. Hoover first of all
needed money and authority to start
, the machinery. He had come to Eu.
rope with $5,OOO.OOO apportioned from
President Wilson's contingent funds to
finance such immediate relief work as
was found, upon investigation, to be
absolutely necessary for the salvation
of. Europe's new democracies, the
Czecho-S lovaks, the Poles and Serbs
and also the Roumanians.
. Congress Votes $100, 100000.
When Hoover had had a chance to
look around, he discovered that So,
100000 was just about enough to
finance food shipments for one of these
nations. He did not single out one ma
ton, however, but ordered cargoes ag
gregating $15,OOO,0OO rushed from the
United States at once.
He trusted the American people tt
provide the capital needed. And wher
he got the first news of the final pas
sage of the 800, 900 appropriation
in congress, an expression Of RELIEF
came into his face that had not beer
there for weeks.

CHAPTER XII.
Will Wonders Never Cease?

Again it showed all night.
1t was on the next day, and at noon
time, when Mr.. Stage was returning to
the store, that most astounding thing
happened.
Mr.. Stage was walking briskly to-
ward Sunrise Cove in his big felt snow
boots, such as all men wore in that To-
cality, and was abreast of the Parlow
shop and cOttage-which he always
sought to avoid looking at-when he
heard a door open and close.
He tried not to look that way. But
his ear told him instantly that the per-
son who had come out was Miss Aman-
da, rather than her father. Knowing
this, how could he help darting a
glance at her?
Miss Amanda stood on the porch
looking directly at him.
.Mr. Stage" she called earnestly. 81

was suffering from lack of foods that
could only be supplied from America.
Saved From Starvation.
Hoover sent DR.. Vernon Kellogg to
investigate the situation. Kellogg re-
ported "Poland must, have immediate
assistance from the outside world
(Which meant America) If the poorer
Inhabitants of the large cities and the
unemployed wOrkrnen and children In
the industrial centers were saved from
starvation"
Under normal conditions, Poland is
self-supporting, as regards food, but
four and half years of war had
brought the nation to desperate straits.
German looters stripped all machines
of copper and betting. Scores Of ma
chimes were wantonly destroyed. Tons
mans.
In all Poland, with its 4,O0O,O0O peo-
pie, the danger of starvation was q
daily menace from December, when
the peace conference started, until
food from America arrived.
| Take Security.
1t is with such nations as Poland
that Hoover has to deal. There was
only one way to obtain some kind of
compensation for American foods dis
tributed. This lone way" entailed con-
siderable risk when one thought in
terms of millions of dollars. But mill
lions-in the old war game were mere
pawns in the gigantic enterprise Of
war. And in the first reconstruction
days they had to be viewed from the
same standpoint. The one just meth

was to take some kind of security from
the nations benefited by American sup
plies. Each nation had different Sc
curity, Roumania had oil fields which
formed basis Of credit, If the world
(Amerlca) sent food in time. The
world needed oil, and Roumania need
ed food.
In Warsaw there was another kind

"Thank you," choked Joseph Stagg.
He wanted to say more, but could not.
Benjamin Hardy's watery eyes
blinked, and he blew his nose.
"Aye, aye, mater" he rumbled, "hard

Mr.. Stagg thoughtfully.
Il am sure, by the details Benjamin
has given me-" said Miss Amanda soft
ly, "that your sister and Mr.. Cameron
were two of its passengers"
"Well, it's a long time ago, now"
said the hardware dealer. Surely, If
they had been picked up or had reached
the coast Of Africa, we would have

agreed gently.

Save on the Sunday when Prince had
killed the blacksnake, Miss Amanda
had not spoken directly to the hard
ware merchant in all these hungry
years. 1t rather shocked Joseph Stage
now that she should do so.

There was a moment Of absolute 81

"Bless me! Yes!" calculated the
hardware man finally.

'No, ma'am?" responded the man
