The Bureau of Industrial Transpor-

$50, 100000 to President Wilson for the
housing of war workers. The Presl-
dent in turn placed this money in the
hands Of Secretary William B. Will
son, Secretary of Labor, who ap-
pointed Otto NJ. Eidlitz, chief of the
Bureau of Industrial Transportation
and Housing, and gave the bureau
the appropriation.
Houses were to be erected wherever
war workers were congregated
throughout the country. An appro-
priation of s10,0O0,O00 was set aside
for work in the District for govern
ment war workers. Two half compile
ted operations, one near Union Sta
tion for girl clerks. and another in
the vicinity of the navy yard and one
or two houses opened under govern
ment auspicies is the tangible result
from this expenditure.

solidated railroads who would be
willing to undertake the job for
nothing a year Therein lies the
reason for Mr.. McAdoos inability
to dcIaCh himself as speedily and
as easily from the director general
ship as from the secretaryship.
Before a competent successor to
the director generalship can be in
Quoted into office there must be
some assurance of a salary to aC-
company the honor. 1t may be that
the President can promise with as
suranCe that suitable salary will
be paid to the man OF his selection,
and so induce him to take the Office
in advance OF the enactment Of leg

tiOn. There is good reason to be-
licvc that moves to obtain this legis-
latiOn are under way.
Williams Is Candidate.
OF all the names mentioned in
connection with the diTectoT-gener-
alship the one most favored by let
teTs in the capital last night is that
of John SHELTON Williams, present
Comptroller of Currency. His
knowledge of Railroads has been of
inestimabIe value to Secretary Nc
AdoO in his management of the lines,
and he is already familiar with much
Of the routine and detail. Ever
since the roads have been under
government control he has been a
member of the Advisory Committee
to the Director General, with special
supervision over railroad finances.
In February, 1918. he was made d.
rector of the Division of Finance
and Purchases under the Director
General with special supervision of
Finance and purchase under the
Director-General.
Walter D. Hines. Assistant Direc-
tOr-General Of Railroad. is also fav-
orahly mentioned as Mr.. Nc
Adoo's successor in the Railroad
Administration. Nj. Hines is an
experienced railroad lawyer and has
been closely in touch with the actual
Government operation OF tTanspor-
tation lines since the beginning.
Gen. George W. Goethals is also
pointed to as available timber for this
position. Gen. Goethals' experience in
the early days OF the Shipping Board
and his Panama Canal experience are
said to mt him for the railroad place.
Gen GOethals could be transferred
from the War Department to the
Railroad Administration by Presiden-
tial order

PEACE LEAGUE
PLAN CRITICISE
Lord Cecil Declares Now Is
No Time to Experiment
With Scheme.

London. Nov. 23.-Lord Robert
Cecil who resigned yesterday as
underseeretary OF foreign affairs
because Of differences with Premier
Lloyd George over the disestablish-
ment of the Welsh Church, today
made the following statement on the
league OF nations project.
Il do not think any league of na-
tions should make US careless of, or
indifferent about the other terms of
peace. The league OF nations is
not only necessarily an experiment.
but we must have a good peace to
establish such a league and a fair
start toward stopping the war.
1T would not be right in such
vital matters to gamble on the sue
cess of any experiment. however,
promising. For any true partner
ship OF nations We must have a
natural justice.
We must re-establish the sanctl-
ty of treaties and must exercise the
spirit OF German militarism. Fin
ally. il any new international organ
izatiOn is to be created it must be
brought into existence by a treaty
lldI snail close TINS war. Inc great
force on whjch we must really
rely is the hatred Of the cruelty
and waste of war.
Must Act mt Once.
Now that the was is over the pro-
cess Of oblivion will set in. Men
viii say possibly with truth that
there will be no new world war
within their time. Few really care
what happens to prospemitiy. The
chauvenists who believe all foreign
ers are barbarianS. the bureaucTats
and the militarists who regard per-
petual peace as a n enervating e vii.
will combine with the decipies of the
late Lord Melbourne to say. Cant
you let il alone"
Therefore, it is only while the
recollection Of all We have been
through is burning frN6 that hope

tiOn and establish at least the begin
ming OF a new and better Organiza-
tiOn Of the nations OF the world

was left to the Homes Registration
Service.
All legal aspects of the housing
problem were under the supervision
of the War Department, known as
the housing and health division.
This division of the War Depart
mCnt will doubtless be moved to
some building accredited to the War
Department IL the Homes Registra-
tion Service is disbanded.
The corps of workers in the Hous-
ing Corporation has doubtless been
the most harassed group of men in
Washington this fall. Otto NJ Ed
litz has uniformly refused to see all
newspapermen who wandered into
the corporation to ascertain what
was being done with the appropria-
tiOn of $4,000, 900 for the District.
Other officials to whom he referred
the inQuirers invariably were unin-
formed of the situation. VIM. F..
shannon, in charge OF the comman-
deering division of the Housing
Corporation refused to talk on the
subject.
Only Twenty Per Cent Retained.
OF the work under the comman-
deering section it is stated by other
officials that 20 houses out of over 100
commandeered have been retained.
One or two OF these have been fitted
up with government money. Owners
of comma ndeered houses who prom
ised to fit their houses up for war
workers were allowed possession OF
their houses again. 1t is alleged that
none of the houses thus given back
have been fitted up for the war
workers.
Relatives and business associates,
it is said, were largely employed
throughout the Housing Corporation
