FUND TO AVERT FAMINE. sum of$1011,000,000 Asked by President Wilson. • WASHINGTON, Jan, 6. --Declar- ing Declar- ing it to be "the hisrh mission of the American people to ' it remedy for starvation and absolute anarchy, President Wilson has cabled an ap- peal to Congress for an immediate appropriation of $100,000,000 for use in supplying food to destitute people outside of Germany during the present winter. President Wilson's message was received at the State Department on. Jan. 2, It was addressed to. Carter Glass, Secretary of the `treasury, and. requested Mr. Glass to ask Congress for an immediate eppropriation of $100,000,000. The Pr 'client's action is understood to eave been based an the extended rrit!s`i,: tion which has been idle in Prtrnp.-t under the di- rection of Herbert e. Hoover, Food Administrator, which convinced the President there ,ger" large regions in Europe where the p: o.'ie were facing -tetual starv; tion. The appropn r nt:o n of $.00,000.- 000, if granted, will he used in feed- ing such populations in 'Europe, out- side of Germany, as may b4 determin- ed by President Wilson from time to time to be necessary. The under- standing here is that this appropria- tion, if granted, will result in Presi- dent Wilson di: eel ing that 'the task of dig ribution of this food be hand- led under the direction of Mr. Hoover. The Appropriations Committee members conferred with W tshiiagton representatives of tho Food Admin- istration and were told 'khat f„, late: and starvation was threatened in Russia, the Ilalkai s, Vienne, end other parte of Europe. nese men said that the lack of fool w. s stir- ring- revolutions in the this eetenc'tl regime and thatthis spirit of unre; t could only be halted in all probability by satisfying the people's hunger. The question of trade arrange- ments which must be made with na- tions that are in need or foodstuffs is apparently an important feature of the international problem, Several countries which were ravaged by Germany have little or no money with which to pay for food, and, be- sides extending credits, an effort will probably be made to put into effect a plan to establish trade balances and make it possible for the countries af- fected to export products in return for foods, GERMAN NAVY SMASHED. Sir Eric Geddes Pays Tribute to Mine -layers. LONDON, Jan, 6. Sir Eric Geddes, First Lord of the Admiralty, describes the men of the 20th British mine -layer flotilla as some of the bravest and pluckiest of the British navy. Sir Eric said that night after night British mine -laying submarines had. to proceed through the great German mine fields off Heligoland to discover channels through which German boats left and returned to their bases. The British seamen then blocked these channels with mines. During the first six months of 1918, Sir Erie added, more than 100 German boats were caught in these trap mines. "On one occasion," said Sir Eric, "four of our flotilla going into Heli- goland Bight were observed by six German outpost 'boats which were leaving. Our boats by subterfuge got inside and laid their mines and on the return journey mopped up all six of the German boats and took their THEF COMERCE �BANK SIR EDMUND WALKER, C.V:O..

There are at least 58 still to be surrendered. German surface warships actually brought into British ports were less by one battleship than stipulated in the armistice terms. The reason for this is that neither the Saxon nor the Mackensen have been completed by the German yards. The German battleship Baden is to be handed over instead.
