"It is proposed by the Joint resolt tion of Congress,' said Mr. Thomn.

'That duty is to affori reasonable fail! lIies on reasonabal terins and at reasonale rates. and this nuist be done before any private Itter ests can be considered." Certainty, Safety and Sufficiency. MJr. Thoin contended that the real In terest of the public is in being assured of certainty, safety and sutllciency of transportation facilities, rather than in rates. The first consideration of the public Is to obtain transportation facill. ties. What the cost is, is in reality a second consideration, he said. Mr. Thom proposed an increase of transportation facilities as a method of securing relief froan the high cost of living. "There have been les, than 1,000 miles of new railroad constrtuct ed in the United States dulring the past year," he said, "less thatinI any year since 1818, except the p eriod of the (lvil War, and yet the cost of living Is daily advancing owing to a shortage of supplies whilh anight he remnedied by securing access to new tartts of pro ducton.

AdIniral Sir Henry 1D. .ackson. the present fir-st sea lord, has len a i pointed president of the royal nava! college at Greenwich. The announcenieti. of the change in command of the hlritislh grand fleet was made this afternoon in the house of lords by A. J1. lialfour, first lord of the admiralty. Mr. iBalfour said there would be consequental changes also in the board of the admiralty. On being asked whether the changes in the admiralty meant other changes in higher commands, \lr. Ial four r'e plied that undoubtedly there would be changes which would be announced in the ordinary course. The vital changes in the manage ment of the navy announced today wit be greeted enthusiastically by the country. They were not unexpected as recently there has been a demand for an infusion of new life on the board of sea lords at Whitehall. The case as presented by the critics was that none of the sea lords had had active service afloat during this war. that more than two years of warfare had brought about radlical changes in methods and that the active direction of the fleets by the admiralty should be in the hands of otlicers who had participated in and worked out the latest styles of operations. Since the government apparently recognized the force of these criticisms Admiral .ellicoe's appointment as first sea lord is the logical result. Mr. David Deatty's promotion to the command of the grand fleet gives the government's answer to criticisms, mostly from afroad, that he showed rashness in the way lie threw his bat tlecruiser squadrons into Jutland fight. tais an honorable and comfortable post. Thus four important flgures former ly in control of the navy have passed from Whitehall since the war began. Tilese are Prince Loutis of flat tenbu rg, flarin Fisher and .\dmiral Jackson, all of whom were first sea lords, and Winston Spencer ('hurchill, who "as first lord of the admiralty.

The program was a long one and every selection was heartily encored by her andience. The tone quaill ities of her voie are exeellentt and her select ions gave great enjoyment. The numbers were given by \ladahune 1 leinrich and by an Edison phontograph at the same tiue.

Every selection was giv'eni in this way and the large audience applauded vigorously after each nium ber. Several times Madame Ilirich generously an swered the applause and gave an encore. The most pleasing number on the program was the last. This was Schubert 's " erenade." The nun ber was begun by the instrument and ladame Hein rich then took up the melody.
