start shipping food now to the con-
tinent's hungry millions.
He said the forthcoming winter
-''vefy probably, I hope, the last

be the grinmest yet for Germa-
ny's captives.
Hoover, in a dark brown suit
and wearing the familiar h 6 h
stiff collar, had an audience of 200
spectators as he testified before a
Foreign Relations subcommittee.
At the request of newspapermen,
Senator van Mugs D.-Ind.) asked
Hoover if he cared to amplify his
optimistic remark about the wars
end.
Il think" Hoover replied, "that
we ought to be prepared to carry
on the war during the whole year
1914, irrespective of any miracle
that might occur in the mean
time"

was referring only to the fighting

Ohio) calling for cooperating with
the British, Swedish and Swiss gov
ernments and with the Red Cross
and similar relief organizations in
shipping and distributing the food.
The food itself could be picked
up ''in Southern Hemisphere ports"
by Swedish ships, he said, with
the expense betrayed in part by
Belgian, Norwegian and Dutch
funds tied up here and by relief
societies eager to help. All that
is needed now is policy, he de-
clared.
Shipments Of food have been dis
tributed successfully in Greece for
many months, he said, and h e
Germans have had no benefits
from them. He said he would op-
pose dispatch of any food n o
areas where the enemy did not
agree to leave the native supplies
untouched, or at least furnish a
compromising amount of food to
the residents if any were taken.

from December l, 1912, when the
program was started, to Septen1-

The Hole has kept its expen.

shown that conversion in Savannah

when the conversion program
started and few desirable proper

Failure to meet the conversion
quota here is qualified by the
fact that the Hole has endeavor-
ed to generally hold the rents down
