Resolutions were passed by these

quently discussed, and his name was
mentioned in connection with the pres
idency of one of the large trust com
panies.
Not few Of the bankers believed
that McAdoos forthcoming withdrawal
has a political significance, pointing
out that the advocates of private opera
tion of the railroads are about to wage
a relentless campaign against the Rail
Grad Administration and that the fut-
ure of government operation is to be
charged more with criticism than with
glory.
Praise From Wickersham

resignation" said George w. Wicker

tclal and it will be difficult matter
to fill his place. do not believe there
is single individual who will be able

handled by Mr.. McAdoo. T. am quite
certain it will have to be divided
among two or more MEN"

tion viii regret deeply his ceasing to
oc director general.
he official attitude toward the rail
roads has been for years that their
expenditures could be increased with
out limit by increase of wages and
other expenses, and that it was not
necessary to increase rates to enable
them to meet these burdens
MIR. McAdoo saw the necessity of
gradual increase of wages He knew
that the only scarce of revenue was
from rates, so he increased rates to
meet the burden and the problem was
solved.'
Wall Street had no special candidate
to offer for the Sccretaryship of the
Treasury, although there was some
feeling that John Shelton Williams,
Controller of the Currency, would be
unacceptable. Most financial and rail
road men thought a separate man ought
to be chosen as Director General of
the Railroads. A. II. Smith, former
president of the New York Central
Lines, and regional director in this dis
trlct, was favorably mentioned for this
post.

There are 20 musical numbers,
many of which are already famous
on Broadway, such as 1.-TWO Laugh
ing Irish Eyes" and "All for You"
"AIary'S Ankle" which has kept
New York laughing all winter, will
follow "The Princess Pat" and af
ter that comes an epoch marker in
the shape of d. W. Griffith's "Birth
of Nation" the super movie be-
yond which Griffith himsef has fail
ed to arrive, despite repeated at.
tempts. Everything that has como
and gone since "The Birth Of Ma.
tion" has merely emphasized the
greatness of that masterpiece of the
movie world, which the growing war
spirit in the land has given a ire
mendous revival Of popularity. No.
body with American blood in his
veins should fail to see "The Birth

The Broadway continues to grow
