by surprise. President Wilson for tho

Interior Inne. Tasks of considerable
magnitude will faco his successor.
Probably two more liberty loans will
have to bo raised the nation flnnnccd
through the reconstruction period and
revision of revenues arranged and In
prcased taxes collected. As for tho
railroads tho new director will have
much to do with the formulation of
