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. Bolshevist troopa have
slackened their advance at the Polish
frontier. .The Germans are delaying
their evacuation of Grodno for several
lays, although General Falkenhayne
kas retired to Suwalkl and General
Hoffman has gone to Koentgsberg.
Polish leaders allege Germans are
telling arms to the Bolshevists. The
latter are lasulng proclamations that
they haVe come to retore order. Dis
patches state, however, that Bolshe
vist soldiers have been seen carrying
banners inscribed with tha words
"Long Live ths Red Terror" and
"Death to Non-Workers."
Fifth Loan Te Bs Last
Washington. Only one more big
war loan drive Is planned by the trees
try department, Secretary Glass stat
sd. This will be ths Victory liberty
loan, to be floated probably the last

tad may be $5,000,000,000.

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. From 60,000 to 70,000 Ger
man helmets abandoned by the with

ed Ststes to be distributed as prizes
In oonnectlon with the next loan cam
paign. The shipments consist of bright
steel cavalry officers' "helmets and

design and most of them spiked. These
have been in great demand by sou
venir hunters. The helmets will be
shipped by special train to a French
port for transfer to various outgoing
vessels. The souvenir special will be
escorted by an armed guard of Ameri
can soldiers. .

' With the guns In Europe silenced,
we have now to consider new world
food situation. 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.

which American farmers have grown,

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.
