Dezember zieht das Christkindl mit über 500 Kindern aus Innsbrucker Schulen in Innsbruck ein … ... und die letzte Woche der vorweihnachtlichen Stimmung beginnt. Innsbruck bietet im Advent eine ganz besondere Atmosphäre, ein ganz eigenes Vorweihnachtsgefühl: Die vielen weihnachtlich dekorierten Schaufenster der Geschäfte, die Weihnachtsbeleuchtung in Innsbrucks Straßen, die Christkindlmärkte und der Christkindleinzug lassen nicht nur Kinderaugen strahlen. Auch die Erwachsenen erinnern sich dabei gelegentlich an die eigene Kindheit und wie damals Weihnachten gefeiert wurde. Nicht nur zur Weihnachtszeit zeigen die Menschen in unserer Stadt Solidarität, großes Mitgefühl für bedürftige MitbürgerInnen und einen würdevollen Umgang mit den Menschen und ihren Schicksalen. Das stärkt den Zusammenhalt in unserer Gesellschaft und so leben wir © FOTOWERK AICHNER gerne zusammen. In bewegten Zeiten wie diesen gibt diese Menschlichkeit den Menschen ein starkes Gefühl der Sicherheit. Dafür ein herzliches Dankeschön. Ich danke auch allen ehrenamtlichen HelferInnen und MitarbeiterInnen der verschiedenen Organisationen, die sich um Menschen in Not und Menschen, die alleine sind, kümmern. Das ist ein unvorstellbar großer Verdienst für unser soziales Miteinander.

    THE MEMOIRS OF Herbert Hoover __________________________________ Years of Adventure 1874-1920 THE MACMILLAN COMPANY: NEW YORK 1951 Copyright, 1951, by HERBERT HOOVER All rights reserved—no part of this book may be reproduced in any form without per- mission in writing from the publisher, except by a reviewer who wishes to quote brief passages in connection with a review written for inclusion in magazine or newspaper. PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Fifth Printing, 1951 PREFACE ___________________________________________________________ These memoirs are not a diary but a topical relation of some events and incidents in a roughly chronological order. It has been my habit to keep notes and documents rather than daily entries—for which indeed I have found little time in life. This volume comprises three parts: the first covers the period from my birth in 1874 to the end of my professional career in 1914; the second covers the First World War and the Armistice from mid-1914 to October, 1919; the third, my relations to the making of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919. The first part was written at odd times during 1915-1916 when I was occupied with Belgian Relief. At that time I constantly had to journey backwards and forwards from London, crossing the English Channel two score times en route to Holland, Belgium, Germany, and often thence to Switzerland, Paris, and London again. These journeys were filled with hours of waiting. Wartime boats and trains were always late in starting or in arriving. There was also the eternal waiting in hotels for appointments with officials.
