states when he sent Mr.. Hitchcock's NOM

Senators aud politicians a surprise such as

cock had been selected, and when the
name went to the Senate It took everybody
unawares.
Secretary Bliss, In reply to request for
information about his retirement from the
Cabinet, said: -.
"It ha. been understood for some time
that 1t would be my wish to retire from
public life on the conclusion OK the war.
