PRAGUE, Bohemia, March 1s (de-

food commission arrived here yeste4-
day, from Trieste by way Of Vienna.
The Americans in the mission were
Capt. Gregory Of California, Capt.
Patterson. former consultingsengineer
in Chicago; Col. S. w. Bryan Of New
York and Commander Pence. the
United States naval commander of
Trieste.
This mission brings the first sign
that some energetic action is being
taken to relieve the chaos which hith-
erto has prevented central Europe
from being fed. though there is plenty
of food on the docks at Trieste. Col.
Bryan has already begun to act as an
Intermediary between the new repub-
lies which SO far have been unable
on account of political conditions to
treat with each other. He, with the
rest Of the mission. has arranged to
Prague, thus increasing the shipments
fivefold.
The plan of the mission as told me
by Col Bryan and Capt. Gregory is
not to operate the railroads, because
they belong to different states, but to
give suggestions first and then IL nee.
essary appeal higher up for authority
to act
The Czechs have welcomed this mis-
sion with open arms. Three weeks
