THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1918. TREASURY HEAD SOON TO RETURN TO PRIVATE LIFE (Contlnaed From Page One.) roads become effective January 1, 1919, or upon the appointment of my tuccessor. 'I hope you will understand, my dear Mr. President, that 1 will per mit nothing but the most imperious demands to force my withdrawal ''from public life. Always I shall therish as the greatest honor of my tareer the opportunity you have so generously given me to serve the country under your leadership in these epochal times. j "Affectionately yours, "W. G. McADOO." President To McAdoo. , . The president's letter of accept ance dated November 21 follows; "My dear Secretary: letter of the 14 because you had mofe than once, of course, discuss ed with me the circumstances which have long made it a serious personal sacrifice for you to remain v. in office. I knew that only your V . . e . . . . wgn ana exacting sense 01 auty naa kept you here until the immediate tasks of the war should be over. But I am none the less distressed. I shall not allow our intimate per gonal relations to deprive me of the pleasure of saying that in my . judgment the country has never had aa abler, a more resourceful and yet ' prudent, a more uniformly efficient secretary of the treasury; and I say this remembering all the able, de , voted and distinguished men who ' proceeded you. I have kept your letter a number of days, in order to suggest, if I could, some other solu tion of your difficulty than the one you have now felt obliged to resort to. But I have not been able to -. think of any. I cannot ask you to make further sacrifices, serious as , the loss of the government will be . in your retirement. I accept your resignation, therefore, to take effect ' upon the appointment of a succes sor, because in justice to you I must. j"I also, for the same reason, ac cept your resignation as director general of railroads, to take effect, as you suggest, on the first of Janu ary, next, or when your successor C is appointed. The whole world ad mires, I am sure, as I do, the skill and executive capacity with which you handled the great and complex problem of the unified administra tion of the railways under the stress of war oses, and will regret, as I do, to see you leave that post just as -the crest of its difficulty is pass ed. "Fof tilt distinguished, disinter ested, and altogether admirable serv- ice you have rendered the country in both posts, and especially for the war, in which you have guided the treasury through all the perplexities and problems of transitional finan cial conditions, and of the financing of a war which has been without recedent alike in kind and in scope, thank you with a sense of grati tude that comes from the very bot - torn of my heart. ' 'Gratefully and affectionately yours, "W;OODROW WILSON." -f tyo Other Reasons. MrVMcAdoo explained to the cor respondents that he had "absolutely no other reasons" than those speci fied in his letter for the retirement. He said he realized many varied ru more usually accompanied the res ignation of an official, but he em phasized that he had no motive or , purpose except those mentioned. He said he hated to "quit the job" Just at this time, and disliked per sonally to disassociate himself offi- "elally from the. president, but added that necessities of providing a liv ing for his wife and family make , this imperative. ' A moment later, one correspond ent suggested: "Well, it is too bal, Mr. Secretary, that as a railroad man, you could not have shared in wage increases which you gave every one else." Then, for the first time Mr. Mc Adoo brightened, and explained his reluctance to take the action. He said he had not yet "looked around for a job as most prudent men do before quitting," but declared he felt like taking at least a three months' rest before "looking for work." He said he hoped to leave .Washington soon after January 1. Mr. McAdoo said he had no idea who would be his "successor or successors." Mr. McAdoo receives $12,000 a i year as secretary of the treasury, the uniform salary of cabinet mem bers, and nothing as director gen eral of railroads. His family expenses are known to have been heavy in the last few ' years, although since the war he has taken almost no part in the little capital society that remained. Repeatedly, the secretary has re ferred to small salaries of govern ment officials, though he did not refer to his own case. ' In Axing the salaries of his assist ants in the railroad administration he allowed heads of divisions $25,- 000 a year and even the miner as sistants received $12,000 or $15,000. '' V ' Possible Appointees It Is entirely probable that the president may fill separately the offices of the secretary of the treas ury and director general of railroads. , There was nothing official tonight on which to base a statement of who might be under consideration for secretary of the treasury. On pre vious occasions when a successor to Mr. McAdoo was discussed, John Skeltoa .Williams, comptroller of the ' currency, and W. P. G. Harding, fovernor of the Federal Reserve oard, have most generally been . mentioned. Paul Warburg, formerly - a member of the .eserve board and . a prominent New York banker, and Russell C Leffinewell, assistant seer retary Baker of the War department oned among the possibilities. 1 President Wilson is not required to choose the new director general of railroads from among the cabinet members and it is possible that the plzce may go to some one associated with Mr. McAdoo in the railroad ad ministration. If the place1 should go ' to some member of the cabinet, Sec retary Baker, of the war department, Postmaster General Burleson and Secrtary Lane of the Interior de- OMAHA NAVY SURGEON BRINGS WOUNDED ) t V -t1 7 " " fl ,. 1 ' '- I Capt Phil Levey HUN Captain Phil Levey, U.

EXILED CHIEF OF THICKEN BY SPANISH FLU (Continued From Fare One.) nasty will leave Germany in the near future, according to a FrankfoTt dis patch to the Rotterdam Courant. Their destination, it adds, is not yet known. So far as is known, the only mem bers of the Hohenzollern dynasty who already have left Germany are William Hohenzollern, the former emperor, and his eldest son, Fred erick William, the former crown price. Both are in Holland. There have been conflicting reports re garding the former German empress, who has been in poor health for some time, but the probabilities point to her not having left German terri tory. Paris, Nov. 22. The Dutch lega tion today published a note contain ing 3l declaration by the president of the Netherlands Council of Min isters to the Chamber of Deputies, saying that the former German em peror entered Dutch territory after his abdication as a private person age. The note says the kind of refuge granted to him is similiar to that given all foreign refugees and that the government could not make any exception on account of his former position when he asked to be admitted to Dutch territory. This does not, prevent the gov ernment, says the note, from carry ing out the duty of watching that the former emperor does not commit any abuse of asylum which would render hospitality detrimental to the interests of the country. The note adds that the Netherlands govern ment does not believe that foreign governments, whose subjects so pften have had the benefit of Dutch refuge, will refuse to respect nation al tradition or to remember instances when they themselves gave hospi tality to dethroned monarchs. In addition, the note says that the former emperor has not in a single instance left the, park of the Amerongen castle where he is in terned. Pro-Hun Sent on Peace Mission to Europe is Charge Made by Fishel New York, Nov. 22. Mortimer Fishel, attorney, who has acted as special counsel to the New York of- i fice of A. Mitchell Palmer, alien ! property custodian, issued a state- j ment tonieht criticizing the commit- i tee on public information for includ ing William Heinecke of New York in the party sent to Europe last Tuesday for the peace conference. Mr. Fishel declared that in an in vestigation for Mr. Palmer he learned that Mr. Heinecke had been involved in transactions by whicli "German interests, controlling be tween 1,500 and 2,500 American copyrights, were transferred to a newly formed American corporation the day before we went to war." Mr. Heinecke, he declared, had be come chief stockholder" and presi dent of the corporation. Mr. Fishel asserted he had laid the case before Edgar Sisson, direc tor of the foreign section of the committee on public information, and had been assured Mr. Heinecke would not be included in the European party.
