FEACE CONFERENCE FORMALLY OPENED French President Urges the Formation of a League of Nations. Paris. The peace conference waa formally opened with a speech by President Polncare, of France. President Wilson Dominated Pra ter Clemeneeau for chairman of the congress. The nomination waa sec onded by Premier Lloyd Oeorge In an1 arneat tribute to the French premier. Prealdent Wilson, In nominating Premier Clemeneeau for chairman of the conference, delivered a apeech In response to that of Prealdent Polncare and paid tribute to Premier Clemen eeau. . Prealdent Polncare, la his speeih, urged the establishment of a league of nations to safeguard humanity from further suffering. Polncare declared the natlona which made sacrifices In defense of right would lay down the rules for ths igue. Its alma, be aald, would be to prevent wara and gain respect for the rlghteoua peace the conference is to establish. Calling attention to the fact that the German empire waa born 48 years ago, Prealdent Polncare aald It had ended Ita career In diagrace and had aunk Into oblivion, perishing by the sword It unsheathed.' Premier Clnmenoeau, who recently declared for the old balance of power, came out In favor of the loague of na tlona In his addresa. Preliminary conversions over the structure of the league of natlona are, strictly speaking, still In the stage of being discussed In meutlnga of tbe supreme council, and are not techni cally before the pease congress iA whole, but the fact that tbe congress haa advanced tbla question to the foremost place In Its program la taken to Indicate that such progress la being made In the supreme council aa to warrant expectation that a definite and aomewbat detailed program will be soon evolved.- This program. It Is believed, will present the- common thought of the leaders of the United States, Great Britain and France and therefore may furnish a starting point from which all tba peace delegates may partici pate. President Wilson la personally pressing forward thla one feature to the virtual excluslort,of all others. With discussion now past the point where It acorns to be agreed there shall be no super-sovereignty, nor a common police force and that the question of whether a nation ahall con tribute force In carrying out tbe de cisions of the league will be left to each nation Individually In each In stance, tbe general plan being most talked about embodies an enlargement of the principles contained In the treatlea negotiated by William Jen nings Bryan. These provide for a de lay of a year before declaring war and Investigations by a special commission of all disputes. PRESIDENT GETS PRESENTS All Clsssss of People In Europe Send Gifts to Wilson. Parte. President and Mrs. Wilson came to Parla with a very modest -collection of trunks and personal bag gags, but they probably will be forced to take home a carload. Both Mr. and Mrs. Wilson hare received ao many gifts In tbe course of their stay In Paris and their visits to England and Italy that a large quantity of them probably will have to be taken to Washington on an army transport Gifts of all kinds and of all values began pouring' in the day President Wilson arrived, and they still are com ing In a never-ending stream from all classes of people. Many of the presents are priceless, but ths president values most those having a sentimental appeal. These have come principally from children In all parts of Europe and from families that have suffered by the war. Bolahevlkl Get German Arma. Warsaw.

DISCUSS STRENGTH . OF ARMY IN EUROPE Washington. What army atrength la to be maintained in Europe la under discussion now by American military officials and ths allied military lead ers. No report has been received In dicating the number of divisions to be supplied by tbe United States, but General March was positive that It would be far less than the 30 divisions given In unofficial reports aa the prob able American military contribution. Tbe American force for ths occu pied tone was fixed by international igreement at tbe time the armistice was signed. General March aaid Mar shal Koch undoubtedly would refuse to permit a reduction of his total strength to a point where it would be Inadequate to handle any possible dis turbance. Demobilization of all army units In the United States has been ordered. General March announced, with the exception of the regular army regi ments needed for camp guard pur poses and various detachments neces sary to continue tbe demobilization process. Tbe total now listed for de mobilization is 1.177,000. Troops actually ' returned from France for demobilization now number 104,000. This gives a grand total or dered discharged of 1.281,000, of which 768,626 men and 61.593 officers have been discharged to date. . Tbe rate of discharge again Is nearlng the maxi mum capacity of 1000 men per camp per day after an Interruption by the holidays. Helmets to Boost Losn. Cobleus.

But there can be no hope that tbe volume of onr exports caa be lightened te the slightest de gree with the cessation of hostilities. Millions ef people liberated from the Prussian yoke are now depending -" w.u them from starvation. With food tbe United States made it possible -for the forces of democ- racy to hold out to victory. To Insure democracy In the world, we must con tinue to live simply In order that we may supply these liberated natlona of Europe with food. Hunger among a people Inevitably . breeds anarchy. American food must complete the work of making the world safe for democ racy. Last year we sent 11,820,000 tons of food to Europe. For the present year, with only the European Allies to feed, we bad originally pledged ourselves to a program that would have Increased our exports to 17,f00,000 tona. Now, to feed the liberated nations, we will have to export a total of not less than 20,000,000 toas practically the limit of loading capacity at our ports. Re viewing the world food situation, we And that some foods will be obtainable In quantities sufficient to meet all world needs under a regime of eco nomical consumption. On the other hand, there will be marked world shortages In some Important commodi ties. Return to Normal Bread Loaf. With the enlarged wheat crons which American farmers have grown, rnwn. and the supplies of Australia, the Ar- fUtltlnA anri -r Hut nin l-bnln vwi sll.le to shipping, there are bread trrfalrta nnllih - annliU t.A nnt-lnMA. t n ..-. VI'U),II w IV lilt? IIH11UU0 tU return to their normal wheat loaf, provided we continue to mill flour at a high percentage of extraction and maintain ecouomS In eating and the avoidance of waste. in futs there will be a heavy short ageabout 8,000,000,000 pounds in pork products, dairy products and Vegetable oils. While there will be a shortnge of about three million tons In rich protein feeds for dairy anl ! mala, there will be sufficient supplies of other feedstuffs to allow economical 1 consumption. I In the matter of beef, the world's supplies are limited to the capacity of the available refrigerating ships. The supplies of beef In Australia, the Ar gentine and the United States are suf ficient to load these ships. There will be a shortage In the importing coun tries, but we cannot hope to expand exports materially for the next months In view of the bottle neck in trans portation. We will have a 'sufficient supply of sugar to allow normal consumption In this country If the other natlona re tain their present short rations or In crease them only slightly. For the countries of Europe, however, to In crease their present rations to a ma terial extent will necessitate ouw shar ing part of our own supplies with them. Twenty Million Tone of Food. Of the world total, North America will furnish more than 60 per cent : The United States, including the West , Indies, will be called upon to furnish 20,000,000 tons of food of all kinds as compared with our pre-war exports of about 6,000,000 tona I While we will be able to change our 1 program in many respects, even a casual Survey of the world supplies In comparison to world demands shows 1 conclusively that Europe will know ; famine unless the American people ' bring their home consumption down to tbe barest minimum that will main tain health and strength.. j There are conditions of famine In Europe that will be beyond our power j to remedy. There are 40,000,000 peo- ; pie In North Russia whom there la small chance of reaching with food thla winter. Tbelr transportation Is demoralised In complete anarchy, and ! shortly many of their , ports will be ! frosen, even If internal transport could be realised. To Preserve, Civilization, At this moment Germany has not alone sucked the food and animals from all those masses of people she has dominated and left starving, but she haa left behind her total wreck age of social Institutions, and this mas of people is now' confronted with absolute anarchy. If we value our own safety and the j audai organisation of the world, If we value too preservation of civilisation ttaelf, we cannot permit growth of this cancer in the world's vitals. Famine lis the mother of anarchy. From the Inability of governments to score food for their people grows revolution and chaos. From an ability to, supply their people grows stability of government and the defeat of an archy. Did we put It on no higher plane than our Interests in the pro tection of our institutions, we must bestir ourselves In solution of this problem. ARTHUR J. MOORE AITOIXTKD SALEM, Jan. 21. Arthur J.
