Hotel men and restaurateurs ovnoct
their New Years Eve guests win bavo
plenty to drink, but they expect every
one will bring his own tipple. The fact
that hotels are crowded as never before
leads the prorrietors to believe that
the general public has the same idea
and that the old-tmers are comjnp. in
from the forks of the creek to see the
New Year in.
The Majestic was so crowded last
night that three men from Chicago who
insisted that they could look no further
for d room were parked in The ballroom
for the night each with a screen
around him. The McAlpin, Pennsvl-
yama, Blltmore and Astor did not have
vacant room. Reservations for New

Will attempt to reduce the salaries of
Y. Everit Macy, Commissioner of Cor
rectlons; Louis Elrodt. County Clerk,

from $4,000 to 81 500 a year.
According 20 supporters of Mr.. Davis
who is an independent Republican and
won his office over the opposition Of

party. the proposed reduction is in
tended as punishment for the Dis

Members Of the county "machine' in

lustment Of salaries. Officials in
ostchCSter, they say, have been over

neighboring counties.
The Davis faction hopes to muster
enough Independent and Democratic
votes on the board to defeat the prof
ect. They charge that William j. Wal
lin, Mayor of Yonkers, moved for the
salary reduction, and want to know
why, if the Mayor is becoming so eco
nomical, he has given his brother-in-

Mitchell Regime
Blamed by Hylan
For Faults in His
Mayor Answers Attack in
WORLD by Saying Former
Administration Of Cifv
Left Things 'ClutteredUp'

Mayor Hylan gave out statement
yesterday IN reply to a detailed criti-
cism of his two years administration
published yesterday by "The World"
The administration of the late Major
John Purroy Mitchell, his predecessor
IN Office, was to blame, Mayor Hylan
declared, for things that were wrong.
A great many things that "The World"
said were wrong were all right, the
Mayor insisted
The former Mayor, who lost his life
III the air service of the army, was
blamed for the failure of the Hylan
administration to attain any "out-
standing constructive achievements, ,"
as charged by "The World" The previ..
Gus administration, Mayor Hylan de-
clared, had cluttered up the city with
a mass of theoretical and visionary
undertakings" which he had to get rid
of before he could start anything.
Denies Gripping Schools
"Thc Worlds" statement that the
Hylan administration had failed to
make appropriations for schools was
denied by the Mayor without qualfica-
ton. THAT statement is false vicious
and uttered with the deliberate inten-
abolishing "the old. absurd" Gary sys-
stem. he said, his administrator had
appropriated millions for schools and
would appropriate some more millions
tomorrow
Assertions by "The World" that
Mayor Hylan's administration had
leased piers to paper" corporations
were described by the Mayor as an
other ATTEMPT to "deceive." He de-
clared pier rentals had increased. and
intlmated that such criticisms were in
splred by british and other foreign
Shlpping interests who want to control
this port"
The increase in the budget was due
to increased prices, Mayor Hylan said,
and to the increases granted to city
employees. The tax rate" he con-
tinued, "as practically every taxpayer
knows, is four points lower than it
WAS IN the previous administration.
Attacks Newspaper Men
CRITICISM of the secrecy maintained
by the Police Department and refer
ences to the prevalence of crime were
unJustited, he said The "secrecv."
he declared, consisted of excluding
men ,ot shady reputation. calling
themselves newspaper men. but who
were connected with gamblers, disor-
derby house keepers and the under
world generally" In TINS connection,
he said:
1T is very common knowledge that
very prominent man connected with

biggest gamblers in the city. 1t is

trated the craftiness of the German
secret service, and showing that even
Fritz is sometimes in a jocular
mood, was related in connection with
the S2d's first visit to the trenches.
1.-THE movement of the division was
made in the closest secrecy" said Ma
jor Barrett. every precaution had
been taken to cloak the evacuation of
the French and the arrival of the
American forces. The authorities
|prided themselves upon having caught
Fritz unawares. But, 10! and behold,
when daybreak came, the newcomers
eered over the top at the Hun trench
es, and there painted on a big card
board was this sign:
"WELCOME EIGHTY-SECOND
DIVISION, NATIONAL ARMY OF
THE UNITED STATES. YOUR TURN
NEXT"
Major Barrett is stopping in At
lanta at the home of his father-in-
law, Arnold Broyles, 155 Juniper ST..
His wife was formerly Miss Louise
Broyles, a popular society girl. He
won a captaincy at Fort Mcpherson,
and was assigned to the Eighty-second
division, which was trained at Camp
Gordon, where he was in command of
Company x, 326th Infantry.
Gets His Majority.
He was the first captain in the SD
to be promoted to a majority, which
was awarded him shortly before the
Argonne fight. He was the officer
who organized the first raiding force
sent across No Mans Land by the
IS2d. After penetrating for more than
a half a mile into German territory,
capturing a number of machine guns,
and gathering valuable information,
with but a few minor casualties, sixty
men of the company he commended
were killed or wounded by a high .ex-
plosive shell which burst in their
midst just as they were about to
climb back into the home trench.
Many of this number were killed
instantly. Major Barrett was, him
self, wounded by shrapnel. He bears
two wound stripes, one for this shrap-
mel injury and the other for having
been gassed in the Argonne, as a re-
suit of which he was removed from
the combat and sent to a hospital.
He vas brought back with other
wounded, arriving Sunday in Nor
folk.
Major Barrett also wears the new
insignia Of the SD, which, along
with other combat divisions, has been
given special recognition by the war
department. This insignia, worn on
the left arm at the shoulder, is a blue
square with a red circle in the center,
bordered with gold.

WORLD TRADE FOR AMERICA.
Shipping Board Decides to Create
Permanent Organization.

Paris, Dec. 26.-The United States
shipping board has decided to create
a permanent world organization for
the purpose of handling the govern
ment's trade fleet with the greatest
effectiveness.
1--WE will open at once Offices in
London, Paris, and Rome" said Ed
ward H. Hurley, chairman of the
board, today.
From these c%enters," MI. Hurley
continued, will be directed ten or
twelve other offices, such Is in Shan
ghai, Yokohama and Bambay, Genoa,
Buenos Aires, Valparaiso and Rio ia
metro and at Rotterdam and Antwerp.
Take for example vessels bringing
supplies to Belgium or France. It is
of the greatest Importance that we
have a quick turn around. It may be
of advantage to reroute a, vessel on
Il is side to India or to South Africa.
"The London, Paris or Antwerp Of
ficers would have precise information
and be able to consign a ship without
delay for it's most efficient use. The
subordinate centers are essential
properly to direct u national fleet.
They will be managed by practical
shipping men who will be assigned to
their posts from the United States.
"There will be no interference
with the War Departments handling
of ships. The service of supply has
really done it's work admirably and
we shall not have any changes to
make in that. Our business will be
with the trade feet"
Director General Rossiter has re-
ceived instructions to proceed at once
to put the plan into effect. The
French, Belgian and Italian Govern
ments, it is understood, will welcome
representatives in their capitals with
whom they can deal direct.

kins Episode Was Acute

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 16 (By The AS
sociated Press) Gabriel Terra, the
Uruguayan Minister of Foreign Rela-
tions, has offered the services of his
country as mediator in the difficulties
between Mexico and the United States,
according to advices received to-day by
the Mexican Foreign Relations Depart
ment here from Mexican Charge DAT
flares Enriquez at Montevideo.
A statement was given out by the
Foreign Office last night to the effect
that contrary to intimations of some
newspapers in the United States, the
ment with regard to tie case of Will
lam 0. Jenkins, American consular
agent at Pueblo, would be answered
with the courtesy which always has
characterized Mexican diplomatic COM
munlcations.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1s-No intima-
ton that an offer Of mediation between
the United States and Mexico was
forthcoming from the government Of
Uruguay had reached the State Depart
ficial notice of the Mexico City ad-
vices, comment as to the probab at
itude of the Washington government
toward such a proposal from Uruguay
+ any other Latin-Amcrican govern
nent was withheld.
Legation Also Uninformed
The Uruguayan Legation also was
without information on the reported
aroffer. Whether such a suggest on
you'd be advanced through that
rhannel or through the United States
Minister at Montcvideo. as the Mexico
ity report indicated was done with
relation to Mexico. was not clear
In connection with the probable
attitude Of the Washington govern
ment should mediation proposal be
received. it was recalled that recently.
when relations between Mexico and
he United States were apparently close
0 the breaking point over h ease
of American Consular Agent Jenkins at
Suebla, Mexico, and o,hcr inc uents.
saguc reminders Of Latin-American
intervention with mediation proposals
we're atioat Nothing definite ever
came OF them. But at that time n
strong impression obtained among
some officials that the position Of the
United States vould be to accept only
n case the medlatlng powers were
.cady If necessary to put armed forces
nto Mexico to protect Americans and
merican interests there during the
endency of tho negotiations.
