Gor-telyou, former Secretary of the Department of Commerce and Labor, and now chairman of the Republican National Committee, will become Postmaster-General. 5 Mr. Cortelyou's appointment as head of the Postoflloe Department was determined on several months ago by President Boosevelt when Mr. Payne indicated to tha President his desire to retire from the Department on account, of the precarious state of his health. Mr.

Payne would have resigned the portfolio long ago had it not been for the then pending investigation of the affairs of the Department. He felt, however, and said many times to his friends that he could not relinquish the duties of the office while the investigation was pending and expressed his determination to carry the investigation to a conclusion. The intense mental and physical strain incident to the direction of the postal investigation eventually undermined his health. He was warned again and again by his physicians and friends that he was subjecting himself to a too great burden, but he refused to heed their counsel.

"But the moment is perhaps not far off when they will be able in a collective way to induce the belligerents to listen to the voice of reason, justice and humanity, by insisting upon the fact that tne present war will be all the more fruitless because neither of the belligerent parties, on account of the pacific ideas now prevailing, can expect effective support toward tne realization 'of its ambitious purposes."
