Mother thou was mild and lovely,
Gentle as the summer breeze
Pleasant as the air OF evenings
When it floats among the trees.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in the grave so low

Thou NO more our songs shalt know.
Dearest mother thou hast left. us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel
But tbs God that bath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee
When the day OF life is fled,
Then in heaven with joy to greet thee
Where no farewell tears are shed.

Germany Must Wait
For Food From, U. s.;
Hoover Tells Of PIar,

PARIS, Jan. 3--Herbert C. Hoover
who has been appointed director Of Al
lied food relief in newly liberated
neutral and enemy territories in Eu-
rope, talked about the work before him
to The Associated Press to-day. He
said that German ships totallng nearly
100000 tons will be used to carry
food to Europe, and that German pas
senger boats viii be utilized to send
American soldiers home.
Food worth 81 100000, 900 must be
imported into Europe to provide against
actual needs between now and July /,
and the financing Of the project is a
stupcndous task" said Mr.. Hoover.
Liberated territories will be fed first,
but much Of this territory has no
other government than that of scat
tered municipalities; it has no credit
and is unable to pay for food.
POLAND, Armenia, Czecho- Slovakia
and the Jugo -Slav republics are in this
condition, as we'll as many other suffer
ing sections Most of the necessary
food must come from the United States,
and representatives of that government
arc comforting with those of the Allied
Powers as to means for paying for this
food"
In discussing the food situation in
United States has thirty-eight officers
travelling through that country con-
Quoting an investigation. He said that
he had received from officers Of En-
tcnte nations reports stating that the
supply Of fats presented the chief
trouble. AS yet reports arc not suni-
GENTLY complete for definite state-
nent OF the German position, but he
thinks that immediate relief will prob
ably not be imperative. In any event,
nc indicated that Germany must wait
until the other sufferers arc fed.
In exchange for the use Of German
chipping, Germany will gradually be
allowed TO have food, Mr.. Hoover said,
adding that the United States will
grant to Germany the use Of freight
tonnage equivalent TO the passenger
tonnage required to transport Ameri.
can troops home. Mr.. Hoover said that
two ahiploads Of food are now en- route
10 Finland and that several carpoes are
on thc way to Rotterdam to be distri-
buted by rail to Poland and the Baltic
provinces as soon az financial arrange
ments have becn completed

brought Great Britain into the war.
The Belgian Parliament recently
adopted unanimously a resolution ask
ing Tor the establishment of the indie
pendent sovereignty of Belgium and
the abandonment of the guarantee Of
neutrality. The resolution adopted by
the Parliament was in response to the
speech from the throne made by King
Albert when he reentered Brussels.
After expressing gratitude to the ma
lions aiding in the deliverance of Bel
GUM the resolution says:
THE tragic and glorious hours which
Belgium has experienced give it the
right to free itself from the ties which
IN the past limited its sovereignty and
cnervated its international action. Bel
