OF
PARIS. Monday. Dec. 23. Herbert
C. Hoover, American food adminis
trator, aud Kdward N. Hurley, chair,
man of the shipping board, called on
President Wilson bv appointment late
today. Mr. Hoover's visit was in
connection with the ireit problem of
provisioninir sections of Europe where
great food shortage . exists, or is
threatened.
Mr. Hurley talked wilh Mr. Wilson
on shipping subjects. One feature of
the problem under consideration is
tho application ot. the French govern
ment to rehabilitate its merchant ma
rine throush the use of Hreut Ameri
can tOiipbuildintr plants which wore
developed to meet war needs. The
French covcrnniont has already re
minded Mr. Wilson that France was
compelled in the common interest of
the entente completely to suspend the
construction of Merchant ships, turn
ins her creat sdiiphuildins plants into
munition factories to supply the en
tente armies with artillery and am
munition. Hue consideration is beinc
sriven to tins claim, but the chairman
of the shipping board is disposed to
withhold American ship bulidimr fa
cilities from all foreign customers un
til the final treaty is signed. Mr. Hur
ley intended to return immediately
to America, but has changed his plans
and because there is a probability
that these subjects will soon become
a matter of negotiation has decided
to remain in France indefinitely.
It is understood the French building
program calls for six millions tons
within the next three years.

MANCHESTER, England, Dec. 24.
The visit to Manchester next Mon
day or President Wilson is being
looked forward to eagerly as an Im
portant event in the history of the
city which is making elaborate prep
arations.
The president will receive the free
dom ot the city. The party will be
met at the depot by the lord mayor
and his wife, a reception committee,
the town clerk and the chief con
stable and will he conducted to Town
Hall thru the principal streets. There
will be guards of honor at the'depot
and at the town hall while the streets
will be lined with troops.
The population of Manchester Is
desirous that the president deliver an
address on the subject of a League of
Nations, but it is not believed likely
that the president will have time to
make a speech. The presidential,
party wilt depart for London in
special train at 3 o'clock in the after

. DECEMBER, 1,
- A food map of Europe today shows
not a single country in which the fu
ture does not hold threat ot serious
difficulties and only a small part
which is not rapidly approaching the
famine point. With the exception of
the Ukraino only those countries
which have maintained marine com
merce have sufficient food supplies
to meet actual needs until next har
vest, and even in the Ukraine, with
stores accumulated on the farms,
there is famine in the large centers
of population.
Belgium and northern France, as
well as Serbia, appear on the hunger
map distinct from the rest of Europe
because they stand in a different re
lation from the other nations to the
peoplo of the United States. America
has for four years maintained the
small war rations of Belgium and
northern Franco and is already mak
ing special efforts to care for their
increased after-the-war needs, which,
with thOEO ot Serbia, must bo includ
ed in this plan, are urgent in tho ex
treme and must havo immediate re
lief. The gratitude of the Belgian na
tion for the help America has extend
ed to her during tho war constitutes
the strongest appeal for us to con-'
tlnue our work there. The moment

of an underground train, proceeding

roughly listed, a portly and dignified
general of His British Majesty's army;
with all the glorv of a heavily goid
braided nnd scarlet handed cap, the
insignin of solemnity nnd importance,
as the wearer was the embodiment of
the same. An eminently sedate ma

Germany, on the other hand, need
not figure in such a map for Ameri
cans because there is uoipresont indi
cation that wo shall bo called on at
all to take thought for the food needs
of Gormany. Germany probably can
care for hor own food problem if sho
is given access to shipping nnd is on.
abled to distribute food to the cities
with dense populations, which are
the trouble centers.
England, France, the Netherlands
and Portugal, all of which have boon
maintained from American supplies,
hare sufficient food to meet immedi
ate needs, but their future presents
serious difficulties. Tho same Is true

Later while the train stood in West

gravely while wearing the helmet anil
