DEATH OF ROOSEVELT
is A LOSS FOR FRANCE
Newspapers of Paris Praise the
Achievements of Dead In
President.

Paris, Jan. 13.-"The sudden and
premature death of Roosevelt will
be felt in France as genuine ma
tional loss,' declared the Petit Jour
nal. The phrase seems to sum up
the sentiments of all the morning
newspapers on the death of Colonel
Roosevelt
During seven years." says the
Journal, Roosevelt was the most
powerful man in the world. In that
short period he found the means to
revolutionize national opinion, to
provide the United States with a
fleet, to settle the Russo-Japanese
conflict and to create a great inter
national power which today under
takes to create society for the flu
ture."
The Gaulois, the royalist organ
says:
This paladin of the heroic ages
was at the same time the most far
sighted of modern statesmen. He
formed the American sword which
has been victorious and he showed
his country the way it was still
cropping"
Stephane Lauzanne. in the Matin
quotes Colonel Roosevelt's farewell
words to him. when he recently left
the United States as follows:
Il have no message to send to
France. l have given her the best
had. If over there you speak of me.
tell them simply that have but one
regret that | was not able to give
myself"
The Temps says:
The man who has disappeared so
prematurely will be not only one Of
the greatest figures of his time but
the incarnation of one of the great
est stages in Americas management
of public affairs. both internal and
external. For the historian he un-
doubted Y remains the first Ameri-
can statesman who directed his
country in two directions. appar-
emily divergent. but really parallel
interor reform and world policy"

SUCCESSOR TO McADOO
NOT TO CHANGE POLICY
Hines Favors Five-Ycar ENten
sion of Government Control
of Railroads.

Washington, Jan. 13.-The poll
cies Of Walker ID. Hines, newly ap-
pointed derector general of railroads
to succeed William G.. McAdoo. will
be advocation of five-year contin-
uation of government control or
early REIMBURSEMENT of the roads to
private control unless congress
promptly enact remedial legislation
"Mr. McAdoos policies are my
policies and | intend to carry them
out through the existing railroad or
ganizations," he telegraphed to re-
gional directors. after announcement
of his appointment, which was made
by President Wilson by cable and on
recommendation of Mr. McAdoo.
The new director general also de-
clared for "a square deal for labor"
fair treatment of railway owners and
patrons and closer understanding
between the public and the govern
ment on railroad questions.
Before the senate interstate com
merce committee. which is conduct
ing hearings on railroad legislation.
Mr., Hines. probably this week. will
make an effort to show the govern
ment's difficulties in supervising the
railways with the control period lin
tied to 21 months. AS assistant di-
rector general he advised Mr.. Nc
Adoo during the formulation of the
recommendation for five year exten-
sion of federal management He
was called in as Mr.. McAdoos prin-
cipal assistant Immediately after the
government took charge of the rail-
ways in the final days of 1917.
Mr.. Hines first official act was
to delegate the railroad administra-
tion's case in the New York ma
rine workers strike to the war labor
board for settlement In state
ment, he pledged himself to "a
square deal for labor with not only
ungrudging but a sincere and cor
dial recognition of its partnership in
the railroad enterprise" The idea of
combining the several hundred pri-
vate lines into a few federal concerns
has been considered by Mr.. Hines
but he said the questions relating to
that subject were so numerous and
perpleXing that II was confusing to-
try even to list them. He believes,
however. that il will be an advant-
age to have the railroad problem
discussed during the next presiden-
tial campaign, basing this on the
feeling that sentiment OF the nation
is not sufficiently crystalized to per-
nit congress to enact legislation that
would he satisfactory.
The director general said he fa-
vored discussion and testing OF fed
eral control over period that would
give needed information TO the cOun-
try after which congress would be
able 10 act with greater safety. While
he advocated immediate return OF
the railroads to their owners if the
extension is not granted. he pointed
TO the possible labor difficulties and
financial problems OF the roads as ar
guments against this plan.
