He said necessity for the $500,000,000 fund proposed in the bill was due in part to need of maintaining and improving the roads and in part meeting their maturities and aiding those in a weak credit position. Asked tal the government might finally ex- pend in this manner, he submitted the following figures on the roads’ own expenditures for the last flve years 1912, $477,000,000; 1913, $600,000,- 000; 1914, 0,000,000; 1915, 000,000; 1916, $281,000,000 Mr. McAdoo added that he thought the $500,000,000 should be regarded as a one-year appropriation, and that if government control should last Jonger, similar sums might have to be asked of congress periodically. He hoped to add to this sum by the profits which the government, by unified operation and other econo- mies, might effect. “With respect said, “I hope the the government 63,- to maturities,” railroads, aided guarantee, will bo able to take care of their own.

The reason Mayor Hylan gave for ousting Bugher was the latter’s alleged 1 to suspend and put on trial on departmental charges the motoreycle policemen accused of grafting on au- tomobilists as charged in the investi- tion developing from the Ruth Cru- r case. Dugher says this is merely a pretext. The real reason, says Bugher, is that he would not tolerate dictation and inte-ference in the con- Auct of the Police Department to which he had been subjected by the Mayor in violation of the Mayor's promise that Bugher was to “remain unbound and unfettered.” “I could not have continued to serve without the abandonment of my prin- ciples and the loss of sclf-respect,’” says Bugher's letter of resignation. s . “Your real purpose in seek- ng my retirement is the consciousness on your part that I will not permit you | the selection of my staff, re- | to dictate zardless of the puble welfare.

Sir Herbert Alexander Lawrence Appointed Chief London, Jan. 24.—James Ian Mac- Pherson, parliamentary secretary to the war office, announced in the house of commons yesterday that | Lieut. Gen. Sir Herbert Alexander Lawrence had been appointed chiet of the general staff in France, Col. E. W. Cox to be a brigadier general on the general staff of the intelli- gence department, and General Trav- ers B, Clarke quartermaster general. These changes, Mr. MacPherson added, had nothing to do with the report to the war coupcil on the recent operations at Cambrai. Made Reputation in This War. ‘While it is denied that dissatisfac- tlon with the results of the battle near Cambrai and other recent oper- ations on the western front had any- thing to do with the changes in British staff positions announced in London, it bas been a frequent prac- tice of the British authorities to end investigations into alleged delinquen- cies with the exculpation of all con- cerned and remove many of the principals afterward. Although the attacks on the army ! administration in the Northcliffe pa- | pers have demanded that men repre- senting the new army—that is, pre- { sumably, former civilians who have learned the art of war as it has been | practiced in this confiict, without fhampering preconceptions — he | brought to the front, the three men now named for promotion are all | regulars. But Cox and Clarke are comparatively young men, and it is | bardly too much to say that all have made their principal reputationg in thig war. Lieut, Gen. Sir Herbert Alexander Lawrence, whose appointment as chief of staff of the expeditionary forces in France under Sir Douglas Halg, was unofficially reported several days ago, was a lieutenant colonel on the retired list when the war broke out. He served in the Dardanelles | campaign, and was made a major general there, and a knight command- er of the Bath last year. General Lawrence is an uncle of the present Lord Lawrence, and has had two sons killed in action. He was born in 1861, and served with the Seventeenth Lancers in South Africa, where he won several decorations for distin- guished conduct. General Travers F. Clark was a lieutenant colonel of the Inniskilling Fusiliers when the war broke out. He had served on the northwestern frontier of India in 1897-8 and in South Africa, where he was threo times mentioned in dispatches and was brevetted lieutenant colonel. Colonel Edgar W. Cox, now mado brigadier general in the Intelligence Department, was only a captain when the war began. He was born in 1882, and, after serving iIn various capaci- ties as a pioneer and investigator in Central Africa, was appointed to the He won the D. S. 0. and was made a chevalier of the legion of honor in 19 BIG REAUIY DEAL. Leopold L. Maynard of Central Falls, R.
