as a reason, William G. McAdoo has rc-
signed as Secretary Of the Treasury and
drector-general OF railroads liis resig-
nation has been accepted by President
Wilson. As Secretary of the Treasury
Mr. McAdoo viii retire as soon as a
successor has been chosen and has quali-
fed. He will rclinq,ish his position as
head of the government-controiled raul
roads January /, unless director has
not then been selected.
The resignation Of Mr. McAdoo, which
he hirnss1f afnouncef ~ A@cpfiferrncA s.isn
newspaper correspondents late ysstertfay,
was entirely unexpected IN Washington:
Mr.. McAdoo made public ms letter OF
resignation to the President bearing the
date of November 1 and the latter $ letter
of acceptance.
Saving he had refused TO consider re-
signing while the country was at war, Mr..
McAdoo wrote the President that the
Inadequate compensation allowed by Law
TO cabinet officers and the very burden
some cost Of living in Washington have
so depleted mE personal resources that
am obliged to reckon with the facts OF
the situation.
While emphasizing that he had NOT
suffered anv actual impairment OF health,
he said he needs a reasonable period OF
genuine rest to replenish hls energy.
RETURN TO PRACTICE OF LAW
Neither in his letter To the President
nor in his statement To newspaper corrc-
spondents announcing his resignation, did
MIR McAdoo outline his plans for the
future but IL is understood he IntenGs 10
take vacation of several months before
returning to business, probably the prac-
