MERCHANT MARINE GROWING
Now Largest in Our History, Accord
ing to Report Of Secretary of
Commerce.

Washington, Dec. 10-The total doc.
umented merchant shipping of the
United States on June 80, 1914, com.
prised 26,943 vessels of 7,92S;68S gross
tons. This tonnage is the largest in
our history" says Secretary of Com
merce Redfield in his annual report
just made public, "and it is crafty.
ing to note that the total 1850 yes
sells of 1,O66,2SS gross tons are regis
tered for foreign trade. During the
year 1,151 vessels of 316,250 gross tons
were built in the United States.
"a sweeping change in our tradi.
tional maritime policy was effected
by the act of August IS, 1914, which
removed the restriction of American
registry to vessels built in the United
States and officered by American citi-
zens. This change brings our laws in
accord in these respects with the
laws Of Great Britain, Norway and
other maritime nations. While the
passage of this act was hastened by
the outbreak of the European war. il
was in fact in the line of a manifest
tendency for some years toward
change in maritime policy which had
hampered rather than fostered our
progress on the sea.
The secretary speaks with consid-
cradle enthusiasm of the prospects of
good results from the work of the
bureau of foreign and domestic COM
merce, "the spearhead of the depart
ment's active commercial work." now
for the first time in the possession of
an organization adequate for its pur.
poses and strengthened by the appoint
ment of nine commercial attaches of
important embassies and legations.

items Reduced by Order of President
Wilson to Minimum-No
Salary Increases.

Washington, Dec. 9.-Estimates just
presented to Congress put the cost of
conducting the government during the
fiscal year 1915, which begins on July
next, at $1,090,715,134.
This sum is $3,392,962 les than the
congressional appropriations for the
current fiscal year ending next June
80 and $17,960,643 less than the esti-
mates for the current year.
Without salary increases of any
kind, no estimates whatever for new
public buildings and all items reduced
by order of President Wilson to what
departmental heads consider the mini
mum, the estimates represent the ad-
ministration' effort to keep the gov
ernmental expenditures within it's in
come, which has been decreased by
the European war.
With the expectation that the postal
service will continue to be self-sus-
tanning the postal item of $297, 1856, ,164
will be deducted as it is returned to
the treasury from postal earnings,
leaving the actual total of expendi-
lures at 1884 ,419,91U.
AS there is such a comparatively
small change in the estimates there is
also comparatively little change in the
items of fixed charges and new esti-
mates for expenditures have been re.
duced to the minimum. While the rule
is one of reductions, the army and
navy establishments alone show in
creases of any note. The army esti-
mate is increased to $105,866,S50, as
