THE SUNDAY ORECOXIAX, PORTLAND, NOVEMBER . 1917. M'ADOO AND T. a IN POLITICAL Washington Talk Mentions One or Other as Likely to ,. Go to White House. . MUCH DEPENDS ON WAR Xeither Possible Candidate I Re garded as Popular Willi His Own Party Leaders, but Both Are in Public Eye. OREGON IAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Nov. 3. While both are en Raged in patriotic endeavor, though working along very different lines, "William G. McAdoo, Secretary of the Treasury, and Theodore Roosevelt,- of Oyster Bay. are both commonly ac credited with nursing along presidential aspirations. Each man ist presumed to be looking ahead to the next presi dential campaign. Mr. McAdoo aspiring to succeed his father-in-law .- in the White House, and the Colonel yearning nee more to enter that abode he knew co well and so long. Secretary McAdoo. when brought face to face with the report that he is aspiring to the presidency, has always Bought to ridicule the suggestion,- but bis denials have failed to carry con viction. In Washington, at least, he has failed to set at rest the prevalent belief that he wants to be the next President. The Colonel, of course, be tween campaigns, is never a candidate. McAdoo Gain.' Mara Fame. The fact remains that McAdoo and Roosevelt, excepting the President alone, are more In the public eye to day than any other civilians in the United States. The Secretary, natural ly perhaps, has gained unusual noto riety for a Secretary of the Treasury by reason of the flotation. of two big bond issues. His part in the financing of the war has been prominent and his efforts at raising funds have been re markably successful. On- the other hand. the war gives Colonel Roosevelt his opportunity to Jump Into the limelight, and he has done so in first one way and then an other, since the declaration of war on Germany; in fact, he was in the lime light before the declaration of war; he was way ahead of the procession, so to speak, and clamoring for war when the President was holding back. No Secretary of the Treasury has ever ' traveled as extensively as has Secretary McAdoo; no previous occu pant of his position has made so many speeches in so many different states. And these speaking tours of the Sec retary of the Treasury have done much to support the report that Mr. McAdoo Intends later to become a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomina tion. But if he does he must run on his record as head of the Treasury De partment, as the director of war finances, and he must run with rela tively little support from the life-long politicians of his party. The McAdoo candidacy would not meet & hearty re sponse from that element. M'alUStreet Heranl Handicap. - Moreover, If Mr. McAdoo should de clare himself a candidate for President, he must expect to face the charge of having Wall street af f iliatioms. His past business dealings have been largely with "big business"; his intimate friendships are with men with Wall street connections, and in floating the war loans and In conducting other war business for the Government, he has been brought into close and constant touch with the great moneyed men of the country. It could not have been otherwise. As for Colonel Roosevelt, the talk of bis candidacy is quite as disturbing to Republican political leaders the pro fessional type as is the McAdoo talk in Democratic circles. There is quite as much Republican disapproval of the prominence of Colonel Roosevelt as Is found in the opposition party, and it ia strikingly true that both McAdoo and Roosevelt have numerous enemies or critics in the opposition party, as well as in the respective parties to which they belong. Republican Count on Scandal, Politicians, regardless of party and regardless of faction, are at this time frank to admit that the next campaign, and more particularly the next Presi dential campaign, will be determined largely by events yet to be unfolded; the conduct of the war may make or break the party In power. Democrats are hopeful that the war may termi nate not only with victory, but without scandal at home. Republicans are equally hopeful of Victory, but have their eyes wide open. They know there has been scandal; that there will be more of it. And while not desiring to hamper the Administration in the pros ecution of the war. they will insist, when they think the proper time has come, that the war be conducted with out graft. Without unnecessary extrav agance and without waste. The United States has been at war for a brief seven months; its Army is Just now beginning to participate in the fighting, and Its Navy has been operating. In a limited but Important way, for only a few months. What heroes will emerge from the conflict no one can foresee; perhaps no over shadowing figure will return, to be swept into the White House by a grate ful and admiring populace. But the opportnlty is there; the man may rise to- the opportunity, and if such a pre dominant figure returns from the bat tlefields of Europe, or from the War swept seas, politics will be swept aside, nnd the aspirations of Mr. McAdoo and HOW I DARKENED MY GRAY HAIR Lady Gives Simple Home Recipe That She Used to Darken Her ! Gray Hair. For years I tried to restore my gray. flair to its natural color with the pre pared dyes and stains, but none of them gave satisfaction and they Were all expensive. I finally ran onto a simple recipe which I mixed at home that gives wonderful results. I gave the recipe, which Is as follows, to ' a number of my friends, and they are all delighted with it. TO 7 ounces of water add a small box of Barbo Com pound. 1 ounce of bay rum and . ounce of glyoerine. These ingredients can be bought at any drugstore at very little coat. Use every other day until the hair becomes the required shade. It will hot only darken the gray hair, but make it soft and glossy. It is not tlcky or greasy and does not rub off. f Adv. CALCIUM Colonel Roosevelt will be forgotten But today, before ttie war has begun to produce American heroes of great moment, .when the Army and the Navy are great Impersonal machines, it Is not difficult to center Interest in two un usually active civilians.

Davis, secretary of the Coos County Fire Patrol Association, declares that forest fires have caused more damage and required more ex penditures by the association than In any year since the patrol was organ ized. He estimates the cost to the tim ber owners who are members will be not less than IS cents per acre for the season of 1917, due to the necessity of engaging large numbers of men to fight the spread of destruction.

At o'clock this morning cannonading was heard. Shortly afterward British destroyers steamed ly, bound west-, ward. A little while following British destroyers were sighted firing west ward at five German armed trawlers. which were burning fiercely. There were no signs of life on board. All of them sank In sight of the Danes. Fifteen minutes later they passed the Crocodile, which was likewise aflame. and. soon sank. Crocodile Dlngwlsed Raider. The steamer cruised about and found single survivor, clinging to -a plank. and a blood-stained empty yawl from the Crocodile. The survivor was too exhausted to give an account Of the battle, but said that the yawl had con tained 20 men. most of them wounded, who had been picked up by another Danish ship. The Crocodile, which was a new ves sel, had been disguised as a neutral merchantman and carried a deckload of casks. She probably was engaged in an attempt to slip through the Brit ish cordon and gain the open sea. The second Danish steamer arrived soon after the first with the 20 sur vivors from the yawl.

Bearish View of Foreign Values Is Manifested Toward All Exchanges, America Leading; la Decline. COPENHAGEN, Nov. 3. The Amer ican dollar dropped to a 75-cent basis today in consequence of a general slump. Exchange rates on Copenhagen fell ten points to 280 and apparently the bottom has not been reached. The Stockholm quotation, which of late has been setting the pace for Co penhagen, declined to 234, which is six points below the equivalent Copenha gen level, allowing for a premium of 17 per cent on Swedish over Danish money. By the time Copenhagen has absorbed this margin, the Swedish quo tations may be relied upon to drop again. The bearish Scandinavian view of foreign values was manifested toward all exchanges. Sterling feil to 23 per cent below parity, francs more than 30 per cent and marks 45 per cent be low par. For some Indefinite reason American exchange has led the recent decline, dropping 11 'A cents within a month. One result will be that the Danish government will leave In Amer ica until the end of the war the $25. 000,000 paid for the Danish West In dies, which has now shrunk 25 per cent.
