' v . , 5 v, ' v 'if FOUNDERED UPON FOOD PROBLEM, SAYS PAPER Manchester Guardian Points Out Necessity of Assisting De ' feated Nations. London, Nov. 16. (U. TkS (By Brit ish Admiralty Wireless.) The Manches ter Guardian, discussing the reconstruc tion of Kurope today, said : "The first Russian revolution failed because the nation coykl. not get peace. Now Kurope has peace, or the beginning of peace, and the one great obstacle to the success of a popular movement is thus removed. "But the second Russian revolution foundered- upon the food, problem and it is the food problem which is the most urgent now. not only in Berlin and Vi enna, bat in every great town In Kurope. "Now in thui matter there is clear soli darity of Interest throughout the world. It is our business to do everything we can to help the innocent democracies to i stand on their feet, no matter whether ( they are neutrals or enemies of yester day. "It Is our affair because there can be no assured stability in any one country i as long as there is anarchy "among its neighbors,. ."Armed intervention is a remedy worse than the disease. Tiut fortunately the I assistance required of us is of a peace- ful nature. What has to be done is to put the svorld s supply or necessaries i into a single pool and ration all the coun-1 tries according to their needs. "Naturally the allies' peoples come first, but so far as bare necessities go, there is tobe no further distinction be tween ally, neutral and enemy. The only distinction will be between the country which can show an organized govern ment to participate in the pooling and to undertake to distribute its share and the country which is too far advanced, in anarchy for such participation." Herbert Hoover, federal food administrator, who sailed for Europe yester day to investigate food conditions. German Troops Now In Camp in Belgium Reported in Mutiny Amsterdam, Nov. 16. (U. P.)

FIRST TO TURN TO CIVIL LIFE (Continued From Page One) America front, the figures are destined to be large.

Secretary Baker paid late today mem- NAVAL MEN ARRANGE TO- TAKE GERMAN FLEET (Continued From Pte One) A Talk by Rosenthal's on Government Regulation and the Shoe Business Every line of business is asked to cooperate with the Government. The shoe trade has been asked to curtail the number of styles in order that capital, labor, materials and transportation may be released. The Government has asked us to in turn seek the public's co-operation in making these regulations effective. Unfortunately, false rumors, detrimental to the wearers of shoes, have appeared in the newspapers and we feel it our duty to state the facts as they are. Shoe manufacturers have been asked by the Government to limit the class of materials and amount of labor expended in the making of shoes in order that shoes of good value and assuring a fair profit to maker and retailer may continue to be sold. Of necessity, however, this will eliminate, after present stocks are sold, all shoes of the very highest grades, which necessarily must retail at prices higher than will be charged for shoes restricted in style but which will not be- on sale until some time m the future. ' We have been asked by patrons if it is not "unpatriotic" to wear certain types of shoes. We answer that all shoes ajc patriotic shoes, for the Government expressly desires us and all shoe retailers to sell all shoes on hand at prices now prevailing.. After present stocks are exhausted certain beautiful and daintily colored shoes, ncrvv extremely popular, will not be obtainable. These were made m exact conformity with Gov ernment restrictions. When they are gone you cannot obtain them, however, at any price. Included in these numbers are 'the beautiful gray kid, two-tone and medium brown boots with Frerfch heels and turned sole boot If you prefer these shoes of distinctive character and at present moderate prices you should take advantage of this opportunity. Price and style restriction will affect all shoes men's, women's, misses' and children's alike. And prices will be higher, quality considered, after present stocks are exhausted. We have pledged ourselves to the Government patriotic ally to conform with the shoe restrictions, and have applied for a PLEDGE CARD which we will show in our window upon its arrival from Washington. " (All; shoe stores wherever shoes are sold have been asked o cp-operatc and to seek your co-operation, as we are doing. bers of the S. A. T. C. who wish to re sume their business or academic studies will be permitted to do so as quickly as possible. The students who have entered the corps and have no occupation awaiting them may remain In the service, he said. Schools able to return to a peace basis will do so at once. Others will be given time for readjustments. In case a man in the S. A. T. C. Is in college which is reverting at once to its academy status, he may shift, to an other where the corps is to be main tained for an indefinite period.

But there la reason to believe that alnca the armistice waa signed, neutral pow ers have made. It perfectly clear that their porta are not likely to be avail able for thia very irksome purpoae and there is no doubt whatever that surren dered Germarvrrarships will be brought into anted porta. Surface warships, which are left to Germany, will be concentrated In one or more German ports, will be paid off and completely disarmed, and will be under supervision of a commission of surveil lance appointed for the purpoae by -the associated powers. Regarding German submarines which fled before the revplutionlsts and took refuge In Swedish waters, there la no doubt they will have to be surrendered- Regarding the Black sea, arrangements are now being made ror me surrender of all ships in German hands. It is now pracUcally certain these will be sur rendered, without trouble. Washington. Nov. 16. The German revolution had its inception at the re fusal of the high seas fleet to go forth for battle with the English and Ameri can navies. This information was made public by the Wolff Agency and transmitteJ to Washington today" in an official dis patch from Berne. The Wolff Agency, the lispatch add. publishes an article entiUed "How It happened." and this sheds light 6n the origin of the revolution. It says: "It is generally believed that the' revolution broke out on November 5 after the victory of the sailors at Kiel. This is not exact. In fact, tt hart hreun the week before. Kiel was only the scene of the second uprising ; the high seas fleet waa the scene of the first. "The Pan-Germans wished to sacri fice their fleet in a last combat against England. The sailors, however. tntT ceptel the letters the officers ha'l , written before, taking leH.ve of the'r 'families. These letters did not -conce.ii i the fact that the officers would die rather than deliver the fleet to England. But the crews, numbering 90,000. ra volted. the sailors opposing the de parture of the fleet. Negotiators en gaged with the high command but these 'were of no avail. The high seas fleet received on October 28 the formal command to sail, but. the of ficers were unable to execute it. "Sailors by the thousands were in carcrated at Wllhelmshaven. but this action had only the effect pf ' increas ing the spirit of revolt. And finally the Kiel events took place. "In connection with the irtobillxatton of the high seas fleet. It Is now an open secret to say that the allies and th United States who were fully informed of the moves within Germany, prepared the greatest concentration of naval craft in the history of the world to meet the German armada. Naval men in this country believe the complete destruction of the enemy fleet was averted only its men."' because of the revolt of available that German warships are to good at the work.

Washington and Alder Spruce Contracts Up To Nov. 12 to Stand Aberdeen, Wash.. Nov. 16. Some of the anxiety which came with the tele graphic order of the war department cancelling all spruce arid air contracts, shutting off shipments, even the move ment of cars already loaded, with spruce, was dispelled by messages-from the gov ernment which conveyed the decision to purchase material cut previous to No vember 12. This rift in the clouds haa caused loggers and lumbermen to be lieve the whole spruce business will be satisfactorily adjusted later on.
