Necessary by Food
Administration.
Paris, Jan. 26. Herbert Hoover,
United States food administrator
and director general of the interna
tional relief organization, gave out
the following statement today:
"The dominating food problem in
the United States at this" moment
is a very much bigger problem than
tho Chicaga packers. It is a problem
of the American farmer, v ,
"If the packer's profit of 2 or J per
cent on bis turn over is too high,
it is the duty of congress to tax
it on him. If the farmer's prices
threaten to fall below the level of
a fair return, it behoves the coun
try to do some quick, clear think
ing. '
;The perplexities arising out ot
the inability to demobilize totally
the food situation of the world in
the peried between the armistice and
peace make the farmer's position in
the matter of much more immediate
concern than the future of the Chi
cago packers. -
supplies Enormously Increased.
"laicing it Jiroadly, before the
European war began we exported
about 5,000,000 tons of food a year.
'1 his year we are prepared to export
at the rate of from 15,000,000 to 20,
000,000 of tons. The increase repre
sents the patriotic service of the
American larmer, plus tne voluntary
sacrifice of the average American
under the stimulation' of the pleas
from the allied ' governments that
without an enormous increase, in
our food supplies their' very lives
WvuM be menaced... - -
4'We are thus, faced with a serious
problem with respect to our own
great supplies, patriotically accumu
lated: lt an eany peace is signeu
and the markets ot Europe are open

greater demand tor food trom the

have a very liihicuit situation. s
Fats Shortage Critical.
"One of tne most critical food
shortages in the world was that of
fats and the only help lay in an
increase In .the American, hug. Our
Agriculture department-and tue lood
admin:stration spared no efforts to
stimulate tnis production. Our farm
ers were assured that in the general
shortage, subject only to the uncer
tainties of war, they would exper
ience no difficulty in marketing their
products. Due to the savings of our
people and the gradual increased
production, of our farmers, we have
lifted our ability to export from
50,000,000 pounds of fats per month
in the summer of 1917 tc400,000,000
pounds per month in this January.
"To, achieve this mobilization of
fats it was necessary to mobilize the
packers as welt as the farmers. There
is no doubt that the vast volume of
business brought profit to the pack
ers, although at a tess percentage
than before the food administration
took charge of it.
"Other factors have entered into
the situation. For instance the inac
tive armies and munition workers
are consuming less fats and the
vegetable is freed for human con
sumption. This came upon us im
mediately with the armistice in early
November, in the midst of our
heaviest hog .marketing season,
which lasts from October until

Uncle Sam Wondering How
Far He Will Have to Go to
"Enforce Prohibition Law
Revenue Department Already Has Big Force of Raid
er;. Cities May Furnish Bigger Problem Than -Mountain
Districts of the South; Penitenti
ary Offense to Manufacture Liquor.
I By ROBERT W. HPBBS.
Staff Correspondent of Universal
Service.
Washington, Jan. 26. Uncle Sam
is wondering just how far he may
have to go to enforce the war-time
prohibition law, which goes into ef
fect July 1. After that it's going
to be unlawful tomanufacture or
sell liquor and the internal revenue
bureau expects a great outbreak of
"moonshining." It is somewhat
fearful also lest there be increased
activity, among peddlers of illegal
drugs.
The law puts the enforcement of
war-time prohibition up to the com
missioner of internal revenue and
legislation is now pending in con
gress, appropriating $1,500,000 for
an enforcement division of that bu
reau. . But a million and a-haji would
not go far in policing the country
against,"booze" and the commission
er knows it.
No plans are making for a federal
police system. "We expect to secure
the enforcement through the local
and state officers," said Acting Dep
uty Commissioner Gaylord, in
charge of the preliminary work the
bureau is doing in the matter. It is
probable that special United States
attorneys will be assigned each state
to co-operate wj,th the district at
torneys offices to prepare' cases for
prosecution under the war prohibi
tion law and there will be a director
of investigation in each. His duty
will be twofold. He will arrange co
operation with the local and state
authorities and will himself direct
investigations on which prosecutions
will be based. No plans have been
made as yet looking to the number
of assistants these directors may
have in any territory. "Those mat
ters must be matters of develop
ment," said Mr. Gaylord. v
.' Has Raiding Force.
The bureau already has an effi
cient raiding-force-developed from,
its long fight against the moon
shiners. The size of this force has
been considerably augmented recent
ly by theneeds for protecting the
soldiers in the southern canton
ments from moonshine whisky and
by the spread of prohibition over
new territory.

illicit whisky lias led many into the
business and the government's "fly
ing squadron," led by Col. Daniel
Porter, has been busy. In the first
four months, the flying squadron
took more than 300 prisoners, raid
ed more than 100 stills and recom
mended more than 400 prosecutions.
Colonel Porter, revenue officer at
Nashville, was brought to Washing
ton to take charge of this work. He
was given his pick of the old-time
moonshine j raiders of the depart
ment. His work was so effective
that when he applied for admission
to the army he was made a major.
He is about to be released from
military service to head the new
flying squadrons in the fight against
illicit whisky.
Cities May Prove Problem.
Colonel Porter's work has been
largely in the mountains of. the
south, but the department regards
the seat ofSts most serious opera
tions under the new law as likely to
be in the large cities. In the moun
tains the smoke from the still, if the
operations are of any size, and the
fumes from the mash make it easy
to detect the presence of stills, brrt
in the -big cities the smoke would
be lost in the clouds from the great
chimneys and- the fumes could not
be detected among the thousand
odors of the streets. How to pro
ceed there is giving anxiety to the
bureau.
Under the wartime prohibition, it
will be. punishable offense to manu
facture' liquor, even if for personal
use, but to have liquor in one's pos
session and to ue it. if it was pro
duced in "the period before the law
went into" effect would not be pun
ishable. To enforce the law the
government raiders might force their
way into homes to see if stills were
being operated in cellars or closets.
Officials of the internal revenue
bureau will not, specify the cities
in which thev expect to have to

ing tne situations in ikw. ium,
Chicago, San Francisco and other
large wet centers.
When congress passes enforce
ment legislation under the prohi

thing, and the department's activi
ties then will be determined by th
character of the legislation.

- Conference.
By Associated Press.
Paris, Jan. 26. Stephen , Pichon,
the French foreign minister, receiv
ed the Associated Press and Amer
ican, British,; Italian and Japanese
newspaper correspondents at his pri
vate office in the foreign office today,
and talked freely and frankly of the
status of the big foreign questions
as tyty are afiected by the confer
ence. The meeting was in the same
room where the council of the great
powers meets.
"We have no response from any of
the Russian elements," said the
minister, answering the first ques
tion, relative to the invitation to the
Russians to meet at Princes islands
for a conference with the allied and
associated powers."
The minister was asked if non-official
statements were accepted as in
dicating that the meeting at Prince
islands would not take pRce. f
"There is some doubt as to that,
replied M. Pichon, "as the bolshe
vists do not say positively that they
will not attend, but merely present
some objections."
' May Change Meeting Place.
, As to whether a meeting could be
arranged elsewhere than Princes
islands the minister replied that
was a question for the council, and
as he was only one of the members
he could not say what they would
do. The minister added, however,
that the opinion expressed by the
Russian groups in Paris seemed to
embody the views of the gove?n
ments they represented. If no meet
ing took plaft on Princes islands, it
would, then be .for the council .to
say what the next ste'j with refer
ence to Russia would be.
When asked if the bolshevists
were a da facto government, the
minister answered: -
"They Have a de facto existence
and this has led to their being in
vited with the others."
Concerning the various interests
in Syria and Arabia, M. Pichon ex
pressed the belief that all "can be
reconciled by mutual concession."
In reply to the question as to how
long it would be before there was an
agreement on the league of nations,
he said:
"That is difficult to say before we i
have a full plan. The drafting will
be the work of a committee, and

Several Nations, But Expresses Hope That Cause
of Women All Over World May Receive
Consideration of Peace Conference.
By Associated Press.
Paris, Jan. 26. The text of Presi
dent Wilson's address to a delega
tion, representing the working wo
men of France, who called on him
at the Murat mansion to urge that
the peace conference! include wo
man suffrage among the points to
be settled by the conference follows:
"Madamoiselle Thompson and
Ladies: You have not only done me
a great honor, but you have touch
ed me very much by this unexpected
tribute; and may I add that you
have frightened me. because realiz
ing the great confidence you ;place
in me, I question my own ability to
justify that confidence.
"ou have not 'placed your confi
dence wrongly in my hopes and pur
poses, but perhaps not all of those
hopes and purposes can be realized
in the great matter that you have so
much at heart the right of women
to take their full share in the pol
itical life of the nations to which
they belong. That is necessarily a
domestic question for the several
nations. A conference of peace
settling the relations of nations with
each other would be regarded as go
ing very much outside its province
if it undertook to dictate to the sev
eral states what their internal pol
icy should be.

of labor, and it does not seem to be

All Civilized Nations Eligible;
Conference Weathers First
Storm and Agrees on
Line of Action.'
Taris, Jan. 26. The peace confer
ence on Saturday weathered its first
storm, and under the inspiration of
a speech by President Wilson and
skillfully'guided'by M. Clemenceau,
the chairman, unanimously adopted
resolutions declaring for a league of
nation. The conference also went
.on record in favor of incorporating
the league as an integral part of the
general treaty of peace and admit
ting to the league "everjicrvilized
nation which can be relied on to pro
mote its objects."
Belgium,, Serbia,v Roumania, Port
ugal, Brazil, Siamv China and
Czecho-Slovakia protested against
the various committees beiug large

and asked for proportionate repre

bodies dealing with the league of
nations, labor and reparation far war

Clemenceau Heals Breach.
Although this was a cloudno big
ger than a man's hand, it threatened
at one time to grow into a general
alignment of- the small powers
against the five great powers. This,
however, was averted by M. Clemen
ceau's good-tempered and skillful
direction.
The session had the same impres
sive dignity, as the open session with
a picturesque setting of Arabs and
Indians in their turbans and tunics,
as well as a disinguished array of
prime ministers and other world
figures. President Wilson for the
first tyne was accompanied by the
entire American delegation, Col E.

Although it had been expected that
LloyfKGeorge would open the dis
cussion.on the league of nations,
President Wilson has this honor.,
The president was followed by Mr.
Lloyd George in a brief address and
the resolution favoring the league
was adopted without dissent after
the proposal had been seconded by
Premier Orlando for Italy, Paul
Hymans for Belgium and Mr. Lu for
China.
When the other resolutions were
brought up and the protests of the
representatives of the small powers
were made, M. Clemenceau made a
plea for harmony and on his assur

give attention to the viewpoint of
the small" nations, alt proposed

But what I have most at heart!
today is to avail myself ot this op

today discovered the body of a rich-ly-clad
oinig women concealed by
two huge boulders at one of the
loneliest spots on the Palisades
overlooking the Hudson.

ages over which apparently had been
poured the contents of a chloroform
bottle, found nearby. The young

suicide the authorities think the
young woman may have been mur
dered. There was nothing on the
clothing to give any clew as- to her
ideqtity. Even the name of the drug
gist from which the chloroform was
purchased had been erased from the
label on the bottle.
