SEES BUSINESSMAN
AS NEXT PRESIDENT
Samuel NJ Vauclan Declares People Will Demand Grim
Administrator" ;" Don't Want Legislator

Philadelphia, Dec. 23.-People
will demand that the next President
of the United States be grim ad-
ministrator," not a legislator" an
executive who will handle the Gov
ernment as a great public business
should be handled, according to
Samuel M. Vauclain, president of
the Baldwin Locomotive Works.
According to my point of view,"
he says, I'VE want an administrator.
BY that 1 mean we have enough
legislation on the statute books now,
what we need most is an executive
to properly administer affairs.
The time has come when the
Government must. be handled as q
great public business. The proper
basis would be to conduct the Gov
ernment with minimum overhead,
yet not to be nigardly, for the Gov
ernment must be in keeping with
the dignity of the Nation.
Remember, the United States Is
the one place on earth where the
poor man can live properly. This
is a poor mans country, and should
be kept poor mans country.

Cost of Living in
Odessa 300 Times
That Preceding War

Berwick, Eng, Dec. 23.-The cost
of living in Odessa is about 300 times
more than before the war, says Miss
Russell sister of the local food con-
troller, who has just returned from
that Russian city She lived there for
two and one-half years.
A pair of boots, she says, cost from
1000 to 5000 rubles-a years sal
ary-and a dress was only to be had
at similar ruinous figure. In Odes-
sa the day before she left the Eng
lish pound was equivalent to 500
rubles instead of less than 10 as in
pre-war days.
THE Bolsheviki," she explained,
"are Communists and the principle
of the Communists is everything for
themselves and nothing for the rest
The others they say have had their
turn, and they treat them with ruth
less cruelty. Life for the educated
people is utterly impossible. Those
who have money are fast eating into
their capital; those who have not
are dying of starvation. That also
is an expensive business, for the cost
of coffins has reached a prohibitiVe
figure"

PLAN APARTMENT
HOUSE DE LUXE
Du Pont and Associates Will
Build $4,OOO,0OO Home
For Themselves

New York.-Apartment of q
luxury hitherto unknown, ranging
from suites of 2S rooms and 10 bath
rooms to the more common three
room and bath variety, are called for
in the plans for a 16-story building
TO cost $4,000, 900, which will occupy
the entire block front between
Forty-ninth and Fiftieth streets on
the west side of Park avenue.
The property, which has been leas-
ed for 81 years at an aggregate
rental of $2,O00,OO0 by a syndicate
of buyers, including T. Coleman du
Pont, Dallas .Bache Pratt, Benjamin
McAlpin, Arthur Coppel, L. l.. Dun
ham and L. M. Boomer, will furnish
apartments for the buyers personal
use. Whether rental of the remain
ing suites will be restricted to friends
has not been announced as yet.
Louis Sherry, the noted restaura-
teur, who a few months ago sold his
interest in the famous establishment
at F'orty-fourth street and Fifth ave-
nue., will act as caterer for those liv-
ing in the building. He will run a
large restaurant on the ground floor,
for which bathrooms, diningrooms,
fast rooms are also provided.
Modern as are the architectural
plans for the structure, the eradica-
tion of the servant problem through
the maintenance of force of cooks,
buffers, maids, doormen, chamber
maids and Wallets by the house is n
new departure that will be watch
ed with interest by hundreds Of
families who have been unable to
keep their servants regardless of the
wages they might be willing to pay
All worries about meals will be as
sumed by the large force that will
work under Mr.. Sherry's direction.
Breakfast in bed will be as simple
a matter under this arrangement as
in private homes.
No detail looking toward the COM
fort and convenience of the oc-
cupants of the building is overlooked
in the plans. All the men whose
money is going into the venture
have very distinct and practical
ideas of luxury and of what they will
want to satisfy their own desires.
Many members of the syndicate
have had large hotel interests at diff
ferent. times.

U. S. to Put Stop
to Firing Over Line

Washington, Dec. 90. - Unless
President Carranza and Francisco
Villa want the American forces on
the border to take a hand in the
fighting between their respective
forces they would do we'll to keep
out of range of the Rio Grande.
This was made clear at the State
and War Departments when atten-
ton was called to the Mexico City
report that Villa has been located
in the Pine Mountains of Coahuila,
near the Rio Grande.
1t was recalled that when Villa
sacked MuZquiz on Tuesday of last
week, remaining in the town until
the following Saturday, he announc-
ed that he was heading for the Pine
Mountains, where he would await
payment of ransom for two Ameri-
cans and several we'll to do Mexicans
whom he carried off. The Ameri-
cans were subsequently released
without ransom.
When American troops crossed
the international bridge between Ell
Paso and Juarez on the night of
June 1916, 1919, and smashed the
Villa force which attacked the
Juarez garrison and was firing
across the line, killing and wound

short work of the rebels.
The same thing will be repeated
in the event that Carranzistas and
Villistas get together again near the
border and send stray shots across.
The border patrol is alert to-day,
and additional forces will be moved
toward the Rio Grande at points
where the prospective fight between
the opposing Mexican forces is like
ly to come close to the international
line.

TRADERS TAKE
SPIES PLACES
Bankers, Merchants and Sales
men Fill Hotels at
the Hague

The Hague, Dec. 23.-Trade con-
ferences between bankers. merchants
and statesmen of the Entente coun-
tries and central powers have sue
ceeded the mysterious gatherings
of spies in the hotels here and
at Amsterdam. The iron. steel, shoes,
ships and sealing wax of commerce
are the topics instead of the routes
of submarines, troop ships and food
ships.
Whatever may be the opinion in
America, or England, or France, re-
garding resumption of business with
Germany and Austria, the represen-
tatives of the business concerns of
those countries show nothing but a
keen desire for such trade at the
conferences here.
The other day, at one of the Hague
hotels the groups seated in the lobby,
engaged in earnest conversation on
trade subjects, included:
One English ship owner and di-
rector of one of Germany's biggest
Transatlantic lines;
