 LETTER OF RESIGNATION
 Mir. McAdoo's letter of resigna- ton, dated November IA, follows:
 Dear MT. President: Now that ! an armistice has been signed and peace is assured, feel at liberty to advise you of my desire to re- turn as soon as possible to private life.
 q have been conscious for some time of the necessity for this step, but, of course, I could not consider 1t while the country was at war.
 s.For almost six years I have worked necessarily under the pres sure of great responsibilities. Their ions have drawn heavily on my
 hgth. The inadequate compensa- fiaa allowed by law to cabinet Of11- ef (as you kndw ' receive no
 cessation as direcfor general of
 Oads) and the yerA bprdensome
 of living in W&sI{lnEtoD so depicted ysssreersonaasssxe-
 s ces that am obliged to reckon gk the facts of the situation.
 do not wish to convey the im- ta sion that there Is any actual i,iaatir1lent % nay health, because | is not the fact. As result sa long OverwOrk I need reasOn- able period of genuine rest to re- plenish my energy. Bur more than this I must, for the sake of my family, get back to private life, to retrieve my personal fortune.
 sT cannot secure the required rest nor the opportunity to look after my long neglected private affairs unless I am relieved of my present responsibilities.
 q am anxious to have my retire ment effected with the least possible inconvenience to yourself and to the public service, but it would, think, be wise to accept my resignation now, as Secretary of the Treasury, to become effective upon the ap- pointment and qualification of my successor so that he may have the opportunity and advantage of par ticipating promptly in the formula ton of the policies that should

The decrease was con fined principally to the tobac- co, luxury. semiluxury and other special and excise schcd- ules.
 Among the more important decisions today were elimination of the luxury schedule proposed in the House bill, leaving 20 per cent on costly articles of clothing and other merchandise and estimated to raise s1S4, ,795 0Oo elimina-
 
 gallon on gasoline. estimated to yield s4e, ,o00, 900: reduction from 10 to 5 per cent. or about s20o. 100000 in revenue, in rates on many articles classed as semi luxures and reduction of about one half in the House rates on tobacco, cut of about s54,ooo.0o0 in revenue
 DECISION DEFERRED < The committee deferred decision on the plan, suggested by Secretary McAdoo and presented yesterday by Chairman simmons for incorporating in the measure specific rates for 1920 would be limited to s4,oooooo,0oo
 Republican members still vigorously oppose legislation for 1920 and the com lnittee decided to pass that question Tomorrow it will resume re- vision of the miscellaneous taxes with a view to cutting off another $500, ooo,ooO necessary to reduce the whole to six billion dollars
 In cutting the excise, or semiluxury, schedules today, the committee reduced from 10 to , per cent the House rates on the following articles; Piano play srs. phonographs, photographic films, candy, portable electric fans. thermos bottles, slot machines and toilet soap and powders. The chewing gum rate was ,ut from 4 to 3 per cent; that on hunt Ing and bowie knives from 100 to 10 per cent: on firearms and ammunition. rom 25 to 10 per cent, and on sculpture, paintings and statuary from 10 to per ,ent
 OTHERS ELIMINATED
 Ten per cent taxes imposed in the House bill on bathing suits and photo graphs or Reproductions were entirely eliminated and that of 10 per cent on ur and wool articles made applicable to ur manufacturers only. In the excise schedule no change was made in the 5 per cent sales tax on tires and accessories, nor n the 10 per cent rate on sporting goods md liveres, tapestries. textiles and ,achts and motor boats.

The whole world ad- mires, l am sure, as I do, the skill and executive capacity with which you handled the great and complex problem of the unified adminfstra- tion of the railways under the stress of war uses, and will regret, as do, to see you leave that post just as the crest of it's difficulty is passed.

GRID PRACTICE AT
 COLLEGES IS NOW
 GREAT DIFFICULTY
Army Works Takes Place the Routine Athletic
 Hours in Schools

New York, Oct. 20 Correspondence of The Associated Press. 1.-The diff culties under which football practice and play is being attempted at a number of the eastern colleges is typi- fled by the experiences at Cornell and West Virginia. An outline of the time possible for athletics at Cornell is given in recent article on the subject printed in one of the university pub lications. In part it is as follows:
 Hours that have been set aside for recreation and sport postponed are Wednesday afternoons from to 6 o'clock and Saturday afternoon. An additional period had been granted for practice of the football team. from to 6 o'clock Monday after moons. Thus the football team will have four hours outdoor. practice a week besides Saturday afternoon for playing such games as it may be pos sible to arrange.
 "As the War Department is en- phasizing athletics for recreation, track athletics are likely to be of an informal character not unsimilar to the programs that coach Jack Moak. ley has arranged in the past for inter- college and intercompany games. An attempt will be made to provide

sports and exercises that will be of physical benefit and at the same time be entertaining.
 "The general scheme of recreation that Professor Young will work out will be of an intercompany nature. Competition will be stimulate among the various units fthe s. A. T. C., the Naval men, and the marines, and efforts will be devoted to encouraging large number of men to take part In the games. Each company will or ganize teams to take part in the competitions.
 Football plans are not yet com pleted but the s. A. T. C., will turn out some sort of team. On account of limited material, limited time for practice, and the very late state, it will not be possible to turn out an ele- ven that will maintain the standard of football played by Cornell in recent years. Inas mucr as all other colleges are facing the same conditions, how ever, no one team will have any spec ial advantage over another"
 Military authority rulings have nec- essltated complete encouragement of football plans and schedules. The entire student body of about sixteen hundred men has been divided accord ing to, their military classification into three groups, styled the N"En- gineers, the Arts and Science" which includes Medicine, Agriculture etc., and the Vocational" Teams are being developed in each of these groups. Each fthese three teams will have a distinct organization and will meet in the gridiron. After Octo- Der 28 the coaches will select about thirty men from all three squads and these will be the real "Varsity team for the playing out of the schedule as a representative team during Novem- Der.
 This, is the new plan that has been brought out of the War Departments ruling and it is believed that it will

From the bar of chocolate which sustains the American soldier while he is too busy pursuing Germans to I.ause in battle for meals, to the full fledged theatrical performance which keeps him cheerful in the war zone, the soldier is dependent on the Aer- culanean efforts of the seven grea, organizations now merged in the Unit ed War Work Campaign. Why, he reeds these organizations every hour from the time he enters the service urtil American and allied armies have triumphed, tells the reason why the Y. M. c. A., Y. w. c. A., National Catholic War Council and Knights of Columbus, War Camp Community Service Jewish Welfare Board, American Library Association and Salvation Army have the right to ask for $170.5O0,O00 with which to continue their welfare work.
 lay and night these organizations are toiling to make our soldiers the most efficient, the cleanest, the most intelligent, the most human that ever faced foe, and to weld them into a perfect fighting force as a result of perfect morale. Leaders of the American and allied forces have praised their work, as have distin- gIished heads of nations. The man ur woman at home knows that each of these organizations has the com mon purpose of helping make bet ter soldiers of our men, but may not krow what particular features of welfare work are peculiar to each This is grief resume of the salient points in the work of each organ. ization, now all working in unity for tho common good of humanity.
 Great Work of the "Y."
 The Y M. c. A. accompanies our fighters from the moment of their induction into the service up to the time when they march to the battle front-and remains with them. The Rel Triangle's workers welcome the rookie when he arrives in camp and they stand in the front line trenches with the veteran under fire, serving him hot drinks, cigarettes, chocolates and cookies when he cannot stop for meals. Beginning with the few "Y" secretaries who awaited in France the arrival of General Pershing's van- guard. the force has grown to 5739 men and 852 women workers overseas

The "Y" conducts the recrea- tional features at the army's rest centres, maintains restaurants and other large centres in French cities. It carries the American Home to France.
 Part Played By the Y. w. C. A.
 Never before in warfare have wo- men played so active part in re- infcrcing the fighting men and in relieving men from other work that they may fight. Thus the field of the Young Women's Christian Asso- ciation in war work has been "a great enc In America the associations most striking welfare propect has been the establishment of Hostess Houses in all training camps, where soldiers, sailors and marines may re- reive their mothers, wives. sisters or sveethearts. These Hostess Houses do much to elevate the plane of a training camp and to dispel the hcmsickness which causes assertions ana lowers morale.
