This work will probably be continued through private charity under American direction, even after the conclusion of the work of the American food administration in Europe. Enough supplies are now available to continue operations for several months and experts who came to Europe with Herbert Hoover, chairman of the inter-allled supreme food council, believe they will be able to obtain sufficient funds from private sources to keep up the feeding of children as long as the necessity exists. One million children are being fed in Poland alone, Finland, the Baltimore provinces, Russia, Serbia, Rumania and Creatla being the other fields where there is necessity for this work, which has been rendered necessary In many cases because of the inadequacy of the local milk supply, while other supplies necessary for a balanced ration cannot be obtained without importation. The Americans have the children subjected to an examination and feed only those who are under-nourished until the doctors pronounce them strong enough to Ihrive on a diet which can be afforded by the home supply.

"After mature reflection, I earnestly recommend that you give the permanent rank of general to John J. Pershing and Peyton C March, expressing the law in such a way as to give precedent to General Pershing; and that you give the permanent rank of admiral to William S. Benson and William S. Simms. "I take it for granted that I am only anticipating your own thought In proposing these honors for the men upon whom the principal responsibilities devolved for achieving the great result which our incomparable navy and army accomplished."
