London. - "The food situation In
great areas Of Europe is nothing less
than tragic. This l can state on un-
impeachable authority" said Food
Controller Roberts, speaking at New
castle. He continued:
"It is not too much to say that Rou-
mania, Serbia, Austria and Germany
are starving.
"Ever since the armistice was slgn-
ed the allies have been doing what
they could to relieve the situation, and
food should be, or is, being sent to all
the countries have named.
"But it is not enough, and 1t Is a
question whether we shall be able to
get sufficient food for these countries
in time to prevent catastrophe. The
supreme council in Paris Is straining
every nerve to meet the situation, and
I pray we may be able to staye off the

send food to Germany. He said:
"The tonnage demanded from Ger

PRESIDENT BACK
At WORK IN PARIS
American Executive Gets
Busy Immediately
is GIVEN WARM RECEPTION
Demonstration Attending Second Visit
Spontaneous And Cordial, But Not !,
As Great AS That On Occasion
OF His Initial Appearance.

! Paris-President Wilson, return
ing to the Peace Conference after
his trip to the United States, arrived
in Paris Friday.
President Wilson got to work inn
mediataly after his arrival at his
new residence, in the Place des Etats
Unis. Premier Lloyd George was
waiting there for the President, and
the two had a long conference.
The President is fully conversant
with the work accomplished by the
peace delegates. During his voyage
from the United States he was con-
stantly in communication with Paris
by wireless. Colonel House took TO
Brest large number of papers bear
ing on the work of the conference
during the Presidents absence.
| The demonstration attending the
Presidents arrival in Paris for his
second visit lacked the magnitude OF
, that upon the occasion Of his initial
appearance last December. Never
theless it was spontaneous and cor
dial.
The people had been purposely
kept in ignorance as to which rail-
road station his train would enter.
The President had requested this, as
he desired to come into the capita.
this time merely as private citizen.
early in the day that the station
selected was the Invalides and they
had assembled there in great num-
bers by the time his train was due.
| The station was decorated with
! flowers and flags and the Twenty
first French Regiment was on hand
to do military honors to the Amerl-
can President.
The presidential party was met at
the station by President Poincare
and Nine. Poincare, Premier Glenn
enceau, Foreign Minister Pichon,
Andre Tardieu, General Berdoulat,
the military governor of Paris; Ma
jar General Mordacq, head of the
military cabinet of the ministry Of
war; Secretary Of State Lansing,
General Tasker H. Bliss, Henry
White, of the Peace Mission; Ambas-
sador Sharp and Admiral Benson.
President Poincare gave Presi
dent Wilson a cordial greeting dur
ing brief conversation. With Pre-
mier Clemenceau the American ex-
ecutive spoke for some time, con-
graduating the French statesman on
his escape from death in the recent
attempt to assassinate him. Presi-
dent Wilson appeared to be in excel
lent health and spirits.
The President did not tarry n.the
station platform. He let his hand
linger longer in that of NJ. Clemen-
ceau than anyone else and spoke
earnestly to the Premier as they
strolled down the long platform.
After he had congratulated M.
Clemenceau upon his escape from
death by the assassins bullets, the
Premier turned and smilingly said,
"My hide is too thick for a little
piece of lead to do me any harm"
