GREATER RUTHLESSNESS

LONDON, Oct. 22.--It Is recalled
by tho correspondent at Berne of

leader OF the German centrlsts and
a member Of tho government formed
to convince the outside world OF the
peace loving character OF this gov
ernment. in a newspaper article In
February. 1913. wrote:
The greatest ruthlessness Is in
reality the greatest humanity. II It
should bo possible to destroy the
whole OF London that would be more
humane than to allow one OF our fell
low countrymen to bleed TO death
on the battle field, because such n
radical cure would lead most speed

HEAD OF WAR
B0ARDQU|TS;
NO CONFLICT
Daniel Willard Resigns to
Attend to Railroad
Successor Not Named,

Washington, Jan. 16.-Daniel Will
lard, president Of the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad, has resigned as chair
man of the war industries board. His
resignation will be accepted as soon as
a successor is found.
In offering his resignation Mr.. Will
lard gave as his reason that the Bal
timore, & Ohio railroad required his
entire attention. 1t was stated that
his resignation was not brought about
by any apparent conflict between the
war industries board and the reorgan-
ization of the war department.
Mr.. Wizards friends here said to-
day that he had had the step under
consideration some time. He was con-
fronted, they said, with the alternative
of resigning the presidency of the Bal
timore & Ohio If he remained as chair
man of the war industries board. 1t
was said that the situation was pre-
sented in this way to President Will
son and 1t was decided that the impor-
lance of the Baltimore & Ohio In war
work was sufficient to demand Mr..
Wizards entire attention.
Mr.. Wizards letter of resignation
was presented at the White house
last night John D. Ryan of New York
has been mentioned as the possible
successor
Clifford for Job!
Director Clifford of the Council of
National Defense is the man most
prominently mentioned to succeed Mr..
Willard as chairman of the war indus
tries board. 1t is understood that sew
eral officials presiding for the war
supply reorganization are suggesting
his appointment. Bernard NJ. Baruch.
Robert s. Brookings and some others
already associated with the work, also
are being discussed.

ment operation, Director General Nc
Adoo today told a delegation repre-
senting the National Association of
Railway and Utilities commissioners.
A specific order probably will be is
sued shortly.
Such a ruling disposes Of the con-
tention of many railroads that under
government operation they were not
subject either to intrastate rates pre-
scribed by state authorities or to other
regulations. Mr.. McAdOo advised the
commissions to continue to exercise
every function which they have held
in the past; emphasized that the in
terstate commerce commission has
not lost any of its rate making or
other powers but advised the commits
sioners not to order new construction
by railroads except in cases of abso-
lutte necessity. The commissioners
promised their cooperation in every
way.
The delegation included represents
tives of Illinois, iowa and Wisconsin.
