 MT. Glass immediately will resign from Congress. in which he has served Is years. and will take up his new du- ties on December IS. MT. McAdoo will continue as director general of rail- roads until his successor for that po- sition shall have been appointed
 Representative Glass said today he had every reason to believe that the future policies of the treasury would mot be different from those being pur- sued except as varying circumstances may suggest
 There is no further statement that 1 could make at this time which would either interest or enlighten the pub lic," said MT. Glass. T would readily wish that may succeed even approx imately as well in administering the affairs of the treasury as has the dis tinguished man whose retirement so distresses the country. It is my judg- ment that his retirement is a national misfortune"

CAN'T UNDERSTAND ATTITUDE

Liverpool December 6.-The Liverpool Post, one of the most important provin- cial newspapers in England, in discuss ing the visit of President Wilson to Eu- rope, says:
 'It is sdifficult for us on this side to understand the extraordinary suspicion entertained by many in America over President Wilson's attendance at the peace conference. It once was suggested that Senate committee would accom- pany the President. presumably to watch over his proceedings. It now is stated that labor delegates will follow him, headed by Samuel Gompers.
 At this distance the whole business wears a parochial air. The attitude of the Senate and labor gives the impress sion that too many Americans are not alive to the fact that the war has trans formed international relations.
 "President Wilson would be lacking in an understanding of the new era if he remained outside the circle which ts to shape the peace settlement"
