; Two hundred loose-Drceched, w ood en -
xhoed Dutch fishermen, two local po
limnuu, u burgomaster and. half a doz
on newspaper men,- the only American
umoDR them being the World correspond
cut, silently watehed the ? cresi-fallen
former Crown Prince of Germany land
at I :.S0 on this bitter cold and cheerlelss
afternoon on thia dismal, ialan{T iu the
Zuyckr 7,ee, where- he has been formally
interued.
. The "has-been Crown Prince" as the
ljuteh call him, was accompanied by a
Kfnall iwrsnnal suite. He Landed from
a whito M-foot I >utoh government yacht,
the Xoord Holland^, and he cut a pa
thetic comedy figurlr '".us he )>osed eon
Hpiciousl.v,, iu the stern, trying to keep
up appearances as he gased on the un
promising shore line of the itfand and,
its deadly dulness. TT ?*
His* sheepish grimaces were plainly
forced. He wore a green Alpine hat
with a feather, and old wiftte^'JrtBUFp
skin f foot, wat with a bcjft'e^cotj&r.
He twirled n pair of gray ?tiede gtjWea
in lieu of a cane. , * .
With cries of beggar ! by the l.?utch
populace :it Enkhuisen, his port of de
Uarkatiou. still ringing in hilars, to#
looked pitifully self-consciolis and ner
vous, as if really dreading thffjefcrsof
a hostile reception on the 4sl(ind, aU.
though he feigned an air of nonchalance
while pulling a cigarctte, and evfen forced
himself to be jocoae with his . equally
nervous entourage. I
?9 *
As the yacht w?rped into the pier he
minted sriffly and seemed greatly re
lirvcd when the stoic ft?herfolk hurled u->
invective at h^m.
It wuh n perfectly sileut reception.
Ill was not permitted to land until the
Dutch lieutenant, hi? chaperon for the
internment, surveyed the scone and
called out /loudly in German a phrase
which meant: "All right, you can Ret
busy now." Then the Crown Prince
leaped ushore, daubed across a narrow
roadway like a frigbfeued jack rubbjt
into a waiting ramshackle, two-horse
?9
*ea -going cab, the bent the town could
boast.
He looked shyly from the windows
and began ta salute and bow to the
fisherfolk. When, far from cheering,
the frtoic natives failed to "rcfepond tc
courtesies of the unwelcome guest, be
chocked himself. ?"
leaving his suite to look after the
ex-royal baggage, the ex -Crown Prince,
directed the cabman to go full speed to
the parsonage which had been assigned
fgr his - use. Arriving there after a
(Jjpive uf nearly an hour, a fresh shock
awafted him, which probably brought
home to him, more vividly than had
anything else the depth of his fall,
v- Ue saw" there that. his house of de
tcimpii is a nieau two-story brick struc
ture which would pas#* for an extremely
modest tenement in furthest Bronx. ; The
impression it made on the new arrivals
was tersely expressed by the Oertnan
orderly who showed the World corre

Columbia. ? The Pood Administmr
tion h*H been, slnoe the United States
entered the world strug gle for the pre
servation of human liberty a war no
cessity.' Now that the war haa heen
ao gloriously 1 ended the Pqod Admin*
1st rut I on voltes a humanitarian ap* I
peal. I
Food haa played its big perl in the
?inning of the war. Pood will play a
bigger part, perhaps, in the winning I
of the world.
In the immediate futuros rood muet
aave the world-- and the food must|
come from America.
Herbert Hoover is In Europe. He haa
gone overseas to ascertain what are I
the actual food ueeds of the hundred#
of millions of people in the liberated
territories. Whan .he has made hia J
investigation* an estimate ot the
amount of foodstuff* that will be re- 1
quired to feed thete people who bar*
returned to the wayl of peace to find
' themselves practically helpless for tho
present and until a crop can bo grown. 1
will be cabled back to America. The
Pood Administration will then be able
to announce a food program to meet I
this need. ,
It is already known that the need
will be enormous, and that the food
program wtll require, on tho part of J
the American people, the most in
tensive conservation. The evacuation I
of territory by the enemy has increas
ed rather than diminished the de
mands upon America for food. Tho
amount of food that had already been
pledged to the allied countries will
not he sufficient to ^me^t the uTgont
need. Millions of people are hungry.
In many )ands famine threatens.
The Amelcan people, who have suf
fered little In this war, oompared with
the sufferings of the people pt many 1
European countries, would not be will*
ing to see these people, who have been
fighting in a common cause, liberated
Only to perish for lack of the barest I
necessities oM He. That Is not the
victory that Uiey have suffered for I
four years to attain. Out of their j
plenty the American people will share |
thefr food with their cousins across
the seas.
The Flood Administration believes j
that, because of the awakened public
conscience the food program to be an-.|
jounced In the near future wlHc?ot I
'few W volanthrUy complied with by
the American people?lncludtng, oft
course, the people of South Carolina ? |
but that they will cheerfully comply j
With it, and count it a privilege to I
tat at a common table with thoee
leas forturt^e who have been associate I
ed with them In the greatest of all I
human struggles.
Already ehlpa laden with food to
relieve hunger and dlstreee have I
reached port ecroea the eeaa. Others
are following- These have been die*
patched to avert ft* mine and disaster. I
rood ships must continue to cross the I
seas from America until fields which I
have been under fire or plowed with
the shells of mighty guhs or which
have been battle grounds thoee past
fdur yewrs can be tilled again and
made to produce food where death, hot
through death, victory, has been tht
harvest.
The people of South Carolina will I
he ready to do their share when the
food Administration makes knows I
what Is needed.
