MUST SAVE FOOD FOR WORLD REIEF Hermt Hoover Now in ?op.. and Definite Program of fed Cemeesn vation Will Soon Se Anneeced From Washington. - UIsene eR Hungry People Looiag to Asto4 For Food. Columbia.-Wth the e.ia0 4 o the armistice and the cessan ed the fghting in Europe there is daneaw that we, in America who have bee a6 tocted so lightly by the w-a,. as com pared with the saferlaw et the p. pie of many European oanarlee, may think our duty done and deerease out eforts toward food eeoseaatimon. This must not happe., says the POod Administratun. The American people have beftre theam a greater obligation than ever beftn. because famine is threatening in many landa which have been opened %p to the allied world by the evaeuaon at the enemy, and the millions of people, de pendent upon the outside world fot food until they can- make a harvest, are looking hopefully to Amrica. Hundreds of thon.ands of Americau soldiers and their allied commdes must continue to eat, altlough they have ceased to fight. The countries that are laying down their arms are plunged into a state of great unrest. No factor is so con. ducivo to anarchly as is hunger. Vhat may happen in lurope no ont knows. lut to relieve the world hun ger is the si-rort way to 1iiekly ro store the world to normal. For the present the Pooi Adnint* tration is aplialing to the Anerican people merely to exercin. care and Judgment in food buying anl food constumplion. Later a definite pro gran of conservation of food for world rel'ef will be made public. Herbert lloover is now in lihurope looking into conditions. As soon as It is known wlpt a.re the food require. ments, this program will be Corma. lated, and every housewife in the land wil be asked and expected to participate. The Government, through the Yood Administration, le asking the Amerl can people at the present time to carefully use meats, fats, butter, lard cheee and kindred commodities. and to await the forthcoming food saving program soon to be made public. Foreign Nations Urgent Call. Columbia.-Nations liberated from the German yoke are daily and urg ently calling upon the United States lor food. The pressure of this de mand Is emphasized in a cable re oontly received by the Food Adminis. tration from Herbert iloover, who is now in Europe to survey the foreign situation. After a week in INuropE Mr. Hoover cabled that the situation did not then admit of the formulation of a definito program, but that Amer. ica should be firmly impressed with the necessity for continued conserva tion, wich1 is more needed now than at any time since the United States becaTije aligned with the enemies oi Germany. Mr. Hoover is now negotiating with tle Allied Governments regarding :hipping, finances and organizations Untill these details are flnally settled, It will bec difficult for him to outlIne a definite constructive progratm. Mr. ,Hoover arranged beffore leaving Amer. bea for the Immediate purchase ci *7,000 tens of food to meet thte most ,rgent needs. The first of the fleet et ships carrying these supplies has already rached E!hrope. * A soon as it is poatible to do ses :the new program of food con servation 4Er wotrelief will be made kaes -Bltter Price Dirops in Sanu F*rancisco, San Francisco, . a n. 2:t.--- itt er (lrolpped to 50ec whol esalIe on i hm lcl market today, a dtclinel of Ie since1 yes. terday andt 10e sine till first of tihl cyeck.

According to a statement from As istsant Secretary of War Crowell, as quoted in a special dispatch received by the News and Courier, from its Washington correspondent, "there seems to be no possibility of the Thirtieth Division being demobilized at Camp Sevier, since that camp is now being evacuated." The Thirtieth, according to Secre tary Crowell, will be disembarked at Charleston, "if possible" and will then proceed to Camnip Jackson, at Colum bia, and will probably -be demobilized there.

Paris, Jan. 26.-The peace confer ence on Saturday weathered -its first storm and under the inspiration of a speech by President' Wilson and skill ful guidance by 2M. Clemenceau, the chairman, unanimously adopted reso lutions declaring for a league of na tions. The conference also went on re cord Jn favor of incorporating the league as an intergal part of' the general treaty of peace and 'admitting to -the league "every civilized nation 'which can be relied on to promote Its objects." Belgium, Serbin, Rumania, Portugal, Brazil, Slan, China and Czecho-Slov akia, protested against the various committees being largely restricted to the Great Powers and asked for pro portional representation privileges, particularly on bodies dealing with the league of nations, labor and re paration for war daiages.

The President was followed by Mr. Lloyd George in a brief address, and the resolution favoring the league was adopted without dissent after the pro posal 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 smaller powers were made, M. Clemenceau made a plea for harmony and on his assur ance that the Supreme Council -wou.ld give attenion to the viewspoint of the small nations all of the proposed amendments 'were withdrawn and the resolutions %were adopted unanimously.
