As Solemn CrOWdS Wait
Chimes Are Chief Attraction on Broadway; Few Corks

seemed TO be actuated BY sense OF
duty and plodded along lugubriously.
Others, of different class from those
who ordinarily seek Broadway on New
Years Eve, congregsted az last at the
community watch night in Madison
Square and at the peace demonstration
in Washington Square.
Only few OF the old guard stood to
their guns. Les Darcy, Tex Riekard,
Bat Mssterson and some others were al
Shanley's.
Churehill's, Rector's, Murray's and
the other places were almost deserted
until midnight approached. Then, for
the hrst time, the entrances OF such
restaurants began to look like a front
door on New Years Eve. By II o'clock
the managements were selling reserva-
tions only.
Solemn Features Seen
The hotels had crowds that we're big
ger than is usual or Sunday night and
their dining rooms especially betrayed
the fact that it was fete day. In the
lobbies. and corridors, however, the
dutiful watchers betrayed their purpose
with the same solemn features that
were evident on Broadway.
Even the Kniekerbocker, where
James B. Regsn had loudly proclaimed
that the only time to celebrate New
Years was on New Years Eve, was
pervsded by the same spirit of repres-

New York celebrated New Years Eve
in a strange mood last night The
rollieking hilarious, careless throng Of
last year and the year before and no.
body knows how many years befors
that was absent. The attractions which
lured it to the plank road that they
call Broadway we're absent.
Inspector Boian, whose policemen
along Broadway appeared 70 be only
slightly outnumbsred by the crowd,
said that IL was the "slimmest aggre-
CATION" he had ever seen abroad on
New Years Eve.
Under the restrictions Of the law and
the poles and the concessions OF tbs
hotel and restaurant men there was
only a struggling popping Of corks, and
drinks without food were barred. In q
few of the restaurants dancing began
BY 10 o'clock. but in most Of them there
was none until after midnight. The big
hotels and restaurants will have their
big celebrations tonight, and have ar
ranged special dinners and entertain
ments to that end.
Hotels and restaurants closed at 1
o'clock, the police allowing diners a
81 essonable time" to finish their meals.
Jacks shut its doors for the first time
in forty-Six years.
II was a SATURDAY night crowd one
day late that sought Broadway. Cow
bells and confetti were conspicuous by
their absence. Ticklers and dodos met
for the first time. Most Of the people

note. with at the same time a full re-
alization Of the gravity Of fat refusal
to treat with Germany. The note is
net approached with gayety, bat with
a stole determination to see the war
through until Germany is broken.
II is felt. however. that the con.
siderations that animate the Allies cam
not be entered into with Germany at
this time, nor at any time while the
Germans assume as q premise that
their country was attacked and is now
victorious.
Cost of War an Issue
In any discussion Of peace account
will have 70 be taken not only Of the
map of Europe put Of the world map,
and the complications of this war will
have 20 be considered differently from
those of any struggle that has preceded
Il. The world map shows that Ger
many has lost her colonies and been ex-
cluded from all maritime trade routes,
while the war has had financial and
industrial Developments Of which no
one ever dreamed.
The financial problem in a peace
treaty will be as important as terri
torial subdivisions. II will have 20 be
decided who is 20 pay the immense cost
Of the war.
These things could not be considered
in the Entente reply 20 Germany, but
they are things that interest the people
in talk OF peace. and therefore IL is
not the reply to Berlin but the reply
20 President Wilson which is so anx-
iously awaited. The reply TO Germany
viii be a historic document, but as
a present-dsy sensation il fails utterly.

HUGE NEW TAX,
M'ADOO'S PLAN
Additional
Revenue Must Be
Raised by US.

Washington, Dec. 3i.-Almost hall q
billion dollars in addition to all the
present revenues OF the government,
which include war revenue taxes and
the advanced income and Inheritance
taxes, will be needed to run the United
States government during the next fis-
cal year and TO pay for the border pa
troll up to June 80, 1917.
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo.
in a formal statement issued to-night.
gives the excess over present revenues
as s474,O7S,OOO
Mr. McAdoo proposes TO raise sl94,-
$4,000 by additional taxation. He does
not say what proportion of this will be
raised at the Custom House by rails
ing Of tariff schedules ana how much
by additional internal revenue taxes
He proposes to raise s279, ,256,oO0 by the
sale of government bonds.
List OF Expenditures
The following expenditures. under
mis- plan. will be covered by bond is
sues:
Mexican border patrol up to June
80, 1917 (end Of present fiscal year,,
s1s2,ls,0oO.
Estimated expenditure for Alaskan
Railway up to end Of the next fiscal
year, s21 ,s3s,o00.
Merchant marine pure waste. 500
O0O, 900.
Nitrate plant (pure pork, 100000
900.
Purchase Danish West Indies, $685.
100000.
And all OF this tremendous amount
Of additional revenue and bonds Will
not provide for an omnibus public
buildings bill. Mr.. McAdoo declares.
Such a bill, should it by any possibil-
ity be forced through over the oppo-
sition of the watchful PORK fighters
in the Senate, would merely add more
TO the sl94,817,O 900 Mr.. McAdoo says
must be raised by additional taxation.
Criticises Cabinet Associates
Mr. McAdoo ends his statement with
a mild criticism Of his associates in
the Cabinet-since they are the re-
sponsble heads @; the departments
of the government making the esti-
mates furnished Uongress-by hoping
that some Of these may be cut.
81 earnestly hope he said. after his
statement that he hao made no pro-
vision for an omnibus public buildings
pork barrel, that even as 10 some Of
the items which are included in the
estimates material reductions and saw
ings may be effected Rigid economy,
20 the extent that It does not impair
efficiency, should be practised in all de-
partments of the government
Recent conferences between the Sec
retsry and members Of Congress have
evidently not impressed Mr.. McAdoo of
the deadly fear with which Congress
approaches another general tax levy,
wherein undoubtedly taxes must be
laid calculated to raise howls Of re-
sentiment which may not be quieted by
the next Congressional election.
"The wealth and resources of the
country are so great" said Mr. Me
Adoo, "thsr it will not be difficult 20
raise this amount approximately $780,
900 ,0o0) by internal taxation, which
can be distributed in such a way as
rot to bear heavily or unjustly upon
anybody"
Fear to Delay Levy
On Capitol Hill the position is now
taken. however, that while the politi-
cal effect of additional taxes levied
now would be bad, the political effect

Isaac w. Aldrich of West Burke eel.

ton Of the laundry work does every
thing about the house.

shoe maker. He was born in Rich.
mond, n. H., and came to Vermont
when he was four years old. He has
been a life long Democrat and has
voted the presidential ticket every
year since he was 81. He was proud
of the fact that he was able to vote
for Woodrow Wilson last November.
His picture was sent to President vii.
son last fall, he being believed to be
the oldest supporter of the President.
Two sons were born to Mr.. and Mrs.
Aldrich but both are dead
