Prospects for full supply Of anthra-

the reopenlng OF its investigation of the

director of the administrations distri.
button division, outlined territorial allot.
ments for the season. and was sharply
questioned by Chairman Reed. partic.
uiarly concerning 3,6OO,O 600 tons assigned

100000 goes to that territory, the
remainder to be distributed elsewhere
in the United States after provision is
made for Canada's share.
DO you mean to say that IL there Is
suffering in this country for the want OF
coal that the fuel administration will
give Canada its full allotment?' asked
Chairman Reed.
Yes sir, that Is our orders, where
II IL shown that Canada suffers equall,

son may regain what he loses of the
confidence of the nation. But the time
that is coming will not be as pleasant
as have been the last few months when
partisanship was largely laid aside.
Mr.. McAdoo's administration of the
railroads will come in for its share
of criticism. Railroad rates are high
and service has had to be restricted to
carry the war materials for the Gov
ernment. Shippers are discontented
and a reaction against Mr.. McAdoo
himself is certainly coming%
Grasps Opportune Moment
Mr. McAdoo is not the kind of man
to turn away from n storm. But II
he was to resign It had to be now
while the Administration is in favor
and before criticism made retirement
impossible. And to impel him to re.
tire there has been the lessening OF
influence in the Administration, the
uislikelihood Of his being nominated as
the natural successor of the Wilson
Administration and his own personal
need of replenishing his own private
fortunes.
The Secretary of the Treasury is not
n rich man. At the beginning OF the
present administration he felt that he
must retire from office, because his
means were not sufficient to permit
of his continuing in Washington. But
the war came on and he felt compelled
to make the sacrifice which remaining
as Secretary Of the Treasury involved.
No definite idea exists as to the
SUCCESSOR to Mr.. MCAdoo. one name
suggested is that Of Mr.. l'aruch. the
chairman Of the war industries board.
Mr., Raruch is one Of Mr.. Wilson's ad.
visors Another is Vance Mccormick.
chairman of the war trade board. A
third is eX.Representative Carter

Shelton Wiaams and Assistant Sec.
