After informal greetings, Secretary
Baker extended formal welcome.

After the first greetings were over,
General Pershing made this state
ment to the Associated Press:
There isn't anything of conse-
quence to say in circumstances like

ering. To say that ] am glad to be

the name Of the brave fellows who

J.R, PEPPER RETURNS;
INSPIRED BY BELGIANS

THE fortitude and optimism OF the
people of Belgium Is inspiring said
John r. Pepper, who arrived home
Thursday afternoon after an extended
tour of Belgium and Northern France,
where as a member OF the Methodist
Centinary commission appointed to
formulate a program Of relief and re-
construction work to be undertaken by
the Methodist church as a part of it's
Centenary mission campaign, he made
a study OF conditions in the wal -strick-
en- countries.
Every square yard Of ground in Bel
seemed to be under cultivation. The
farms average only about 16 acres, and
every bit Of land Is worked just like "a
garden. Everybody is at work there.
Women n children are to be seen
working In the fields the same as the
men.
The high cost of living is not such
a problem there as one might think,
because the people raise almost every
thing they eat, and they live very fru-
gally.
THE country is practically stripped
Of farm animals and live stock" Mr..
Pepper said. "1n the absence of horses
the Belgians have turned more than
ever to the use of dogs. The big, strong
Belgian dog is to be seen harnessed to
carts in all parts of the country"
The report Of the commission has not
yet been compiled and will not be an
nounced for some time.
