KENNEDY I Head of Cumberland Valley Likely to Be Vice Presi- • dent of P. R. R. The belief wastexpressed in rail road circles to-day that M. C. Kerf nedv, who retires ap president of the Cumberland Valley. Railroad Com pany with tho transfer of that s -tem to lie Pennsylvania Railrohd, will become a pron*Ufent flgurai in the affairs of the Pennsylvania. For many years the Cumberland Valley, under his direction, has been one of the model railroads of the country, and one of the most profitable as well. Colonel Kennedy has been its guiding genius for years and has been closed to the management of the Pennsylvania than any other railroad man outside the Pennsy's circle of ekecutlves. When the war broke out he was chosen by the fed eral government to go to Kuyope to help prepare for the arrival of American troops and " supplies in I France and he remained until the [armistice had been signed and the system of home-cotning army trans portation established. Much of the success in troop movement without hitch or accident was due to his work and skill as a railroader and the Pennsylvania management in-' tends to recognize his ability with : a high place in its service. It Is Un | derstood that the management of i the Cumberland VaMey which will I continue in tht hands of Colonel Kennedy, will carry with it a Perih \ sylvanla Railroad Company .. vice i presidency and broader powers for | tile Cumberland VaUey executive.
