AS usual, most New Yorkers cele-

usual the show was stolen by the

Although the White Way bonifaces

(the usual $5,000,0O0 over their pre-
vious years estimate). night life has
not been the same since the over
towering bulk of the Worlds Fair
loomed up last spring, and the stock
market, to which the night clubs
are geared financially, has not been
booming.
From the official city's point of
view, it was just another New Year
Eve-midtown plate-glass windows
boarded, fireman at every midtown
box to thwart false alarms, and 1900
nightstick-less cops humoring the
crowds in the Times Square area.
1t was the gadget-iest New Year
Eve in history. Press agents outdid
themselves in thinking up wacky
goods and services for their clients
to provide. One restaurant installed
two telegraph wires for sending New
Year greetings. A night club in

tonsorial treatment: another offered
massagists, male and female, for
customers exhausted by celebration.

Shop owners took the hint and

slept late in the day to be ready for
a night of duty in the area. Car

For the first half dozen hours of
his life the infant year heard MOTH

nothing but gayety and merry-mak-

He stumbled around in confusion
in Europe-entering the war-strick-

flash of cannon. The nightly black
out was somber setting, but there
was not much gayety across the At
lantic.
Americans hit the jackpot of hi
larity in the dying hours of 1899
and then spent their enthusiasm
welcoming the New Year.
The celebrators-there were hun
dreds of thousands-aided by the
Sabbath holiday started early and
stayed late for the business at hand.
Some of the merrymakers had their
celebrations slightly curbed because
of the Sunday liquor laws, but for

spent in night clubs, bars and hotels.

Miami-in the midst of the
Orange Bowl festival-had a riotous
celebration. Harried policemen gave
up efforts to control traffic and
pedestrians. In New Orleans, an
other bowl city, the merrymakers

New York's Times Square and

Messersmith, Long
Reported Slated
For New Posts
Cudohy and Gen. Watson
Also Mentioned for
Possible Shifts
By G. GOULD LINCOLN.

BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.
The recent appointment of Joseph
e. Davies, former Ambassador to
Belgium, to be special adviser on
European affairs to the Secretary of
State, has been followed by rumors
Of other and future reassignments
and appointments in the foreign
service.
One is that George S. Messer-
smith. now an Assistant Secretary
of State, is to be sent to Cuba as
American Ambassador or to another
similar post, probably in South
America. Another is that Rreckin-
ridge Long, who also has been men,
toned as a possible successor to Mr..
Davies in Belgium, will be selected
to fill the post now held by Mr..
Messersmith.
There is a report. too, that John
Cudahy, Minister to Ireland, may
be shifted to Belgium as Ambas-
sador. Rumor has had it in the past
that Brig Gen. Edwin M. Watson,
one of President RooSevelt's secre-
taries, was being considered for the
Belgian post However, it is under
stood the President is anxious to
retain Gen. Watson at the White
House at least for the present, and
that If the appointment is made to
Belgium it will not take place until
next summer or fall.
High Regard for Watson.
Gen. Watson was military aide to
the President before he was pro-
NOTED to be brigadier general and
became a member of the White
House secretariat. The President
has a high regard for Gen. Watson
and for the work he has done at the
White House. He is disinclined, it
is said, at this time to make a
change in his immediate official
family.
The appointment of Charles Edi-
son to be Secretary of the Navy,
announced at the White House Sat-
urday has set at rest many rumors
regarding that post. Mr.. Edison
served as Assistant Secretary of the
Navy and later. after the death of
Secretary Swanson, as Acting Sec
retary. At various times it was re-
ported the Navy portfolio would 60
to Gov. Lloyd c. Stark of Missouri,
graduate of the Naval Academy,
or Mr.. Davies, and that Mr.. Edi-
son was being groomed for the race
for Governor of New jersey, his
native State.
Popular Appointment.
The Presidents appointment of
Mr.. Edison is a popular one and
his confirmation in his new post by
the Senate will follow as a matter
of course. In promoting Mr.. Edi-
son to head the Navy Department,
President Roosevelt followed the
same course he did with the War
Department, after the death of
Secretary George Dern. Secretary
Woodring was at that time Assistant
Secretary of War. He continued,
after Mr.. Dern's death. as Acting
Secretary until he was named Sec
retary of War.
The new year finds every cabinet
post again filled After seven years
there still remain OF the original
Roosevelt cabinet Secretary of State
Hull, Postmaster General Farley,
Secretary of the Interior Ickes, Sec
retary of Agriculture Wallace and
Secretary of Labor Perkins. OF the
other five, three are dead and two
resigned.
