BALKANS ROODSUPPtY
ISRAP|DLY VANISHING.
Mr.. Hoover Reports That Distress
Is Very Acute; European Relief
Is Vigorously Pushed.

The food supply in the Balkans is
rapidly being depleted and conditions
are becoming chaotic. according to
report contained in a cablegram from
Herbert C. Hoover, now in Paris.
Distress is very acute, he says and
in Vienna there is only a ten-day sup
ply visible. Cond itions in Rumania
also are desperate.
Announcement is made OF the ar
rival at Trieste of the first steamer
carrying food supplies for the Ser
bans and the sending OF a mission to
Warsaw to organize food relief in
Poland, and another to Vienna to in
vestigate conditions. A commission
has left for Belgrade to take charge
of the relief work in Serbia.
For New Serbian Territory.

ton of railroads in Austria and the
separating of Hungary and Czecho-
Sloyakia, Vienna is practically cat
off from any supplies in the imme-
date future.
Regarding the bolshevik dangers,
Mr.. Hoover said:
so far the bolsheviki have been kept
under control in Vienna, but adviceS in
dictate that unless foodstuffs can be fur
nished for the city it will be impossible
to maintain order. The Swiss govern
ment is proposing to forward at once
about a weeks supply for the city, but
the situation in Switzerland will not per-

days relief.
Rumania's Urgent Needs.
''The American and allied ministers in
Rumania have telegraphed to their re-
spective governments that after investi-
eating they are convinced that the food
supply of Rumania will not last for more
than another thirty days and that inn
mediate steps for relief must be taken
if the country is not to be submerged
by bolshevism. Methods of relief are
under consideration. but present ex-
treme difficulties. The railroads of Ru-
mania are largely broken down. There
is a great deal of port destruction, and
there is no bunker coal in the Black
sea except what can be borrowed from
the allied navies. Further, Rumania is
entirely without funds to pay for food"

NEW YEAR SENDS
MEN TO CIVIL LIFE
Several War Agencies and
Bureaus Were Dissolved
Last Midnight.
"BIG" FELLOWS QUIT JOBS

Facing the new year, the problems of
which will be largely those of recon
struction, the nation today set itself
firmly to the task of getting back TO a
peace basis.
Dissolution Of several war agencies
and bureaus marked the opening of 1919
in governmental affairs. Other boards
and committees, created for the war
period, will continue in operation tempo
rarily but with activities more or less
limited.
: Two of the most important war bu-
reaus discontinued last midnight were
the War Industries Board and the Capt.
tai Issues Committee. Activities of each
considered necessary during the period
of REIMBURSEMENT will be conducted
through agencies existing prior to the
war.
Price-Fixing to Continue.
Work of the War Industries Board
in part has been taken over by the
Departments of Commerce. Interior
and Agriculture and by the War Trade
Board. The boards price-fNing com
mittee will continue to operate for a
time, and probably until prices fixed
until July 81 expire by limitation.
The dissolution of the Capital Issues
committee ended the supervision eNef-
cised by the Treasury Department
over public and private issues of Sc
curities. Work of the committee con-
sidered by the Treasury as of value
for the reconstruction period includes
supervision of issues of stocks of
doubtful value. The Treasury has un-
der consideration plans for continuing
this supervision as a protection to the
owners of liberty bonds.
Food and Fuel Control Going On.
The food and fuel administrations
will continue their activities into the
new year. The forces of each, how
ever, have been curtailed sharply
and the work of each limited to nee
essary operations.
The new year also saw the retire
ment of number of men who came
to the aid of the government during
the war and who now that hostilities
have ceased plan to return to their
private business. These include Eer-
nard Baruch, chairman of the War
Industries Board; Thomas B. Love,
assistant secretary of the Treasury;
Carl f. Gray. director of operations
of the railroad administrations: Rob
ert S. Lovett, director of capital ex-
penditures of the railroad administra-
ton, and A. A. Ballantine, solicitor of
the internal revenue bureau.

Mr.. Lunn Speaks.

Representative George r. Lunn
who spoke at the same meeting. de-
nounced the critics of the national
administration. He said most of the
criticism was captious and some OF
it malicious.
About fifty new members Joined the
association. Charles CT. Adams, pres
ident. said he hoped to have the larg-
est state association in Washington.
After the speeches the Noung people
danced until Fath6s Time announced
that the old year was dead and the
new had come into being.

mo Tracks to Repair

1.-THE airplane which can go $50 miles
an hour can certainly carry freight at a
less rate per mile than the barge boat
which is travelling eight miles an hour.
Moreover. there are 10 tracks to repair,
no highways to keep in condition, no
waterways to be kept open. In the air
you have a clear and ,lnimpeded high
way which needs no attention, while on
the railways you must keep every foot of
the line in condition all the time
Mr.. Nol.e saids aircraft men We're Sc
riously considering the speedy utiiiZa-
ton of their machines for freight-car
ing purposes.
There is nothing of the visionary
about this. Get the necessary power
and you can carry Union station
through the air just as easily as you
can carry u single pilot" Mr.. Nolte
said.

FREIGHT BY A|RPLANE
SOON, PREDICTION
Fairfax Nolte Says It Will Be Car
ried at Less Than Canal or
Rail Rates.

Freight will be carried on aeroplanes
within the next two years and in less
than five years it will be transported at
lower rates than it can be carried on the
barge canal, Fairfax Nolte. civilian air
craft designer for the United States
government, said at u meeting of the
Empire State Association in the Cham
Der OF Commerce last night.
Mr.. Nolte said there is no limit to the
possibilities of aerial service. Men who
had given the subject close study had
decided long ago that all obstacles to
the successful crossing of the Atlantic
would soon be removed and he believed
a regular passenger line would be estah-
lished between the American and Euro
peau coasts within Il year.
II know when l say freight will uiti-
mately be carried through the air more
cheaply than through the barge canal
or over the surface railways | am max
ing statement which may be chal-
Ienged, said Mr.. Note. But the thing
to me is very simple. There are two
elements which must be taken into con-
sideration. One is that of time and the
other speed
