UNCLE SAM FACES
One OF BIGGEST JOBS
FEEDING UNDERNoURIsH.
ED PEOPLE OF EUROPE.
Every Month.

(By John T. Parkerson.) ..-
Paris, March 10.-L N. S.)-Uncl,
Sam now is in for the biggest job il
history in feeding the millions of un.
dernourished peoples in central Eu.
rope. together with furnishing his
own domestic requirements and those
of the allied nations.
Those familiar with the work o1
feeding Belgium and northern France
during the past four years say that
the task which now confronts the
United States calls for the most stu
pendous organization the world has
ever seen. 1t is a greater problem
than revictualing the armies because
1t virtually means that, in addition &c
furnishing the greater part of the
supplies, the United States will have
to man the German ships. Presuma-
bly,. the Americans will be forced tc
supervise the distribution Of food
stuffs In the vast territories now over
run with anarchy, reorganiZe railway
transportation and arrange financial
matters. In short, the United States
will have to act as a big brother tc
the whole world,
What this means cannot be realized
from the simple statement that it is
necessary to send 250,000 tons of food
into Germany monthly and 5000 tons
into Austria daily,
The greatest problems probably
will arise after getting the food In
These include the questions OF how il
can be protected from the raging fur
mace of bolshevism and how it can be
best distributed among the millions o1

towns and cities.
TITS up TO Hoover" is the expires.
sion commonly sounded among the
delegates to the peace conference who
have been called upon to thresh Out
relief questions. They say that Mr.
Hoover Is confident of success and
the plan Is to give him free hand.
Reports from. Germany to the ef-
feet that women and children were
on the verge of starvation are under
stood to have hastened the action o.
the council of ten in deciding to re-
victuai Germany at once.
The allied armistice commissioner:
at Spa will inform the Germans that
they must turn over their merchant
ships, which will be manned by allied
seamen probably. On the way to thu
United States the ships will carry
soldiers; on the eastward voyage
they will bring food supplies.
Mr.. Hoover will boss the food dis
tribution' in Germany personally.
1t is, understood that all the finan'
cial kinks have now been straight

bitches with the French and 1t wa:
the same. with Italy regarding thu
revictualing of Austria. But the fac
