NEW YORK, October 20.—The metropolis is forgetting how to walk. The transit commission, which today made public figures to show that New York's subway, elevated {and eurface lines carried 90,893,000 ,more passengers last year than the year before, belleves an “In- crease in riding habit” is respon- sible. i Nearly 32,700,000,000 passengers were carried last'year, and this year the commission reported the trafo is increasing at the rate of 2500 passcngers @ day. The ath avenue busses carried more than 2,000,000 more last year than the previous year. Stati~ticlans estimated that the New Yorker took ten times as many rides last year as he did in the simple days of 1560. Now each resident, according to the average, rides 456 times a year.

His Return, By Cable to The Star and New York Tribune, Copyright, 1023, LONDON, October 20.—Lloyd Georg: tour of t nited States and Canada 18 followed here with keen Interest, because it presages & strenuous cam- paign for his return to political power in Great Britain. In the last fort- night “the little Welshman” has re- covered a lot of the ground lost fol- lowing on his retirement from the premiership. The political situation is now shaping itself well for his “comeback.” No other British politician has halt his personal magnetism. other British statesman can sway people as easily. Lloyd George has an unusual opportunity before him, because his chief opponent is Premier Stanley Baldwin, who is a novice in the po- litical game, possessing but lttle skill in making a good case out of a bad situation. Need Desperate Measures. The approach of winter finds Eu- rope so unsettled—If not chaotic— that desperate measures must be adopted. The gloomy pictures painted by Senator Smoot, Congressman Bur- ton and other Americans who have visited Furope in recent months would be still gloomier if they r flected the situation today. Bonar Law succeeded Lloyd George as premier becauso the country thought he would be able to establish rounder business conditions. When i1l health drove him into retiroment Baldwin became his successor for lh.e same reason. Appealed to People. The new premler was a simple, plain business man who subordinated politics. His type appealed to the Britons. _Unfortunately for Bald- win and for Great Britain, however, his policy brought little improvement. Of all the great powers the British are most dépendent on external con ditions. Consequently, she now has more than 1,250,000 unemployed, and although the government is5 planning to spend $100,000,000 to relieve' the situation, this sum is regarded ag a most ineffective palliative. Premier Baldwin {s being attacked sharply on the grounds that he has muddled the domestic problem. He is criticized severely further seécause his international policy is too weak or too independent. His supporters have been thrown on the defensive, and they are hard put fo it to find arguments that will meet the criti- cieme. Even the Dominion premiers have been outspoken in their criti- cisms of the manner in which the Westminster government has been handling international affairs. Baldwin Is Frank. Baldwin has been frank. He has made no attempt to gloss over un- pleasant facts. His chancellor of the exchequer has calmly informed his countrymen that there is no prespect of a reduction in the income tax for several years. He has been the tar- get of much abuse in consequence, on the ground that it is the duty of the leader to build up confidence rather than repeat unpleasant fact No one knows which way and how strongly the political wind will blow when parliament reassembles next month, but every one realizes that a _political storm Is_brewing. Lloyd George will return home to find Bald- win fighting to keep hia place at the helm. 1f Lioyd George can offer the country any constructive pro o will become & real rival of in, ‘but that does not mean that he can wrest the leadership !\o- bim with- 5| Thursday 1923-PART 1 MARYLAND ARTS DEAN ADVISING ON FINANCE Follows Request of Secretary Hoover in Solution of Far Eastern Question.
