Fresh as the first beam glittering on a sail, That brings our friends up. from the underworld; Sad as the last which reddens over one That sinks with all we‘love below the verge— So sad, so fresh, the days that are no more.

Mr. McAdoo Makes His' Exit. The abdication of Mr. McAdoo is almost 2s startling as that of the Kaiser, and much less expected. Out- side the President, Mr. McAdoo has been the most influential man in the American government. Friends and foes alike. , willingly admit that “Mec- Adoo is a wonder” The President undoubtedly was right when he wrote in his letter accepting the resignation, that Mr. McAdoo was the greatest Secretary of Treasury in history. the face of the correspondence, and for the information of the public, Mr. against a salary of ten thousand .for looking after ths biggest administra- tive job in Washington, it is not strange that in his grandfather days, with the possession of a beautiful and wonde.ful young wife and a comparatively new baby, that the mind should turn.to the problem of laying by nest eggs as against the of “sans eyes, sans teeth” etc. MecAdoo undoubtedly quit for the reasons that he gave—and if it K 13 is likely that the might not have resulted p-;"dl-lot discu . ewspaper dis and speculation has faken place Mr. McAdoo resigned, and one that hag called the an in this pelitical life. g > on! events time and again, declares that Mr. McAdoo has never been a public ownership man, and that his views have “brought him into continuous and acrimonious discussion with Mr. Wilson and some of his fellow-Cabi- net members on the subject of the future of the railroads.” At least two other members of the Cabinet are in the same frame of mind as that credit- ed to Mr. McAdoo, and Mmen within Administration circles believe that in this attitude the insurgents are sup- vorted by Colonel House, whom the political gossipers insist reached the parting of the ways with Mr. Burle- son several months ago. This last bit of information is al- miost_equal in political importance to the McAdoo resignation, so far as it affects the issue of politics surround- ing government ownership, for Colonel House “made Burleson,” in the com- mon expression of Washington. Congress Will Resume lts Functions.

Tour on Boiling Lake. One of the unusual experlences pro- vided by the New Zealand government tourist bureau for visitors to New ‘Zea- land is a launch ride across one of the largest lakes in the thermal re- gion of the North Islands. This lake is called Rotomahana, which' is the na- tive Maori name for “warm lake. As the launch glides across the sur- face huge clouds of steam rise in the wake of the boat and because of the pecullar opaque green color of the water makes a most weird effect. For a hundred feet or more from the shore, the water isextremely hot, but in_ the center the lake is only luke- warm because of the great depth of the water.

There was a mark upon his head as. though it might have been struck by the cart wheel.
