lieves Keen Anxiety of Bur-
gomaster.

Cologne, Saturday, Dec. T.-Order
has been reestablished here as the
result Of the arrival of the advance

in the city, caused by extensive riots
and pillaging on the part OF mops o.
the lower classes, with attendant
bloodshed, according to the burgo-
master. The rioting was due to the
inability of the poor to obtain 1000

and state, which have for the past 9 years so greatly embarrassed the rail-
 roads, will be repealed.
 The appointment of Secretary McAdoo as director general of the American rail- roads represents fundamentally precisely the idea which the committee of Amer iean railway managers of which Frank Trumbull is chairman, has been for some years advocating, namely: Railroad CO., ordination and cooperation under private management, but subjected to wise and broad minded governmental regulation and control, the repeal of statutes which have stood in the way of railway prog ress in the United States and the assur- ance of adequate rates. There is no difference between the principle thus set forth by the railway managers com- nittee and the principle upon which Sec retary McAdoo must base his administra- tive action, fortified. as the President assures the country he will be, by such legislation as will make it possible tc keep the railroads in good repair, pro- vide for improvements and assure their stockholders that the earnings will be sufficient to protect the stockholders in- tereStS.

 WHAT OF THE FUTURE?
 It is observed in conversation with some who are esteemed leaders in in- dustry and in transportation. also in f. nance, that they are already beginning to discuss the ultimate effect of the taking over of the American railroads by the President. For although 1t is ex- plieitly stated that this authority is to be continued only as long as the war lasts and that after that the roads are to be returned to private ownership, neverthe- less the effect upon public opinion, upon railroad managers themselves and upon those who write the laws of the country, state and national, of wise and suc- eessful administration of the railroads in such manner that competition is elim- mated, coordination and co-operation with consequent economies secured, all this under government regulation and control, Will be to prepare the country Tor the maintenance of the essential which Secretary McAdoo is to adopt If he be successful, namely CO., ordination and cooperation with such accessories as pooling. Therefore, it may be that when the emergency which has caused this action of the President is ended the public will have been so well informed respecting the true principle upon which the American railroads should be operated and statutes federal
