SEEKS TO EXTEND
RESERVE CLEARING
Federal Board Wants Member
Banks Forced to Use
system.

Washington, Dec. 27.-Attorney Gen
eral Gregory has been asked for an
opinion by the Federal Reserve Board
on the extent of its authority to com
pei member banks of the reserve sys-
tenn TO subscribe to the check clearing
plan launched by the board and the re-
serve banks some months ago.
Under the present plar subscription
by banks is purely voluntary, and OF
the nearly 5000 national and state in
stitutions in the system not more than
1900 have subscribed
The clearing function is regarded by
members Of the board as one of the
most important the reserve banks exer-
else. It was designed primarily to save
millions in the cost of collecting checks
drawn by member banks on one an
other. In addition, 1t was pointed out
to-day, with the clearing system IN full
operation many millions now kept by
small banks in the vaults OF city IN
stitutions which clear for them would
be transferred to Federal Reserve
banks, thus strengthening the reserve
system and at the same time reducing
the likelihood of loans for speculative
purposes.
ANY intention to interfere with the
clearing houses of the country or TO
do any large amount of clearing be
tween the various Federal Reserve
banks is disclaimed by officials, who
say there is little likelihood that com
petition between the reserve banks and
local clearing houses will become so
keen as TO put the clearing houses in
jeopardy for many years, If ever.

u. S. SUBMARINES
MAY BE LARGER
Craft of 1000 Tons Displace-
ment Likely Result of Lessons
Learned from War.

Washington, Dec. 27.-Sea- going sub
marines of 1000 tons displacement
probably soon will be sought for the
American navy as the result of lessons
learned from the European war and
recent manPuvres of the Atlantic fleet
IL is possible that the first five sub
marines included in the administra
tons fve-year building programme
will approach this size, although the
estimates submitted were based on
boats Of the l 300 ton class.
In contrast TO this development of
type Of giant submersible, naval Off
GERS are inclined 10 believe that the so
called coast defence boats will be
standardized at about 400 tons dis
placement. The name should be, it Is
asserted, harbor defence rather than
coast defence craft, as the sphere of
action Is limited to a hundred miles or
less off shore.
Twenty-Five smaller submarines are
included in the administration pro-
gramme for this year, at an estimated
cost Of between 100000 and 100000
each. The estimate would provide for
vessels Of 600 to 700 tons displacement
Virtually all sea-going flag officers
and the commissioned personnel gen
orally Of the submarine fotillas are
said to favor building larger craft for
sea work. Some officers believe the
smaller submarines should be aban-
doned entirely, but others believe there
are two distinct fields of activity for
submarines which should be recog-
nized In shallow waters off the coast,
it is contended, the big boats would
be almost useless because of their
draft.

The country now is dependent for

considerable time.
More liberal handling OF contracts
with private munitions plants is urged

TO FIGHT PASSPORT
FRAUDS ALL OVER u. S.
Inspection Bureaus In Every Big
Port Now Planned.

Washington, Dec. 27.-Eforts to pre-
vent misuse of American passports
may result In the establishment at
most of the country's principal ports
of State Department inspection bu-
reaus, similar to the one to be opened
in New York next Monday. Depart
ment officials said to-day that although
90 per cent of the passenger traffic for
Europe was through New York, bu-
reaus would be opened in other cities,
such as Boston, New Orleans, San
Francisco, Norfolk and Baltimore,
should any necessity develop.
Walter W. De Matt. now assistant
chief of the bureau of citizenship, was
designated to-day TO take charge of the
New York bureau, which will examine
the passports of all Americans sailing
from that port on transatlantic steam
ers. The New York Collector of Gus
toms has been ordered by Secretary
McAdoo TO detail deputies TO board
every ship leaving for Europe and
check the papers held by passengers
with State Department records.
With the opening Of the New York
bureau the more stringent regulations
recently imposed on those applying for
passports will become effective. These
provide that applications must be filed
five days prior TO sailing, accompanied
by three copies of the applicants pho
tograph and a statement OF the ex-
pected date Of departure, port OF sail
ing and name of steamer.

TRAVEL COST DRAINS
DIPLOMATS EARNINGS
Five Cents a Mile Too Little,
Lansing Tells Congress.

Washington, Dec. 27.-Ameriean dip
lomatic and consular officers suffer
financially when shifted by promotion
or transfer. Secretary Lansing discloses
in a memorandum just submitted to
Congress. He asks for an increase from
$50, 900 to SIPS 900 in the appropriation
for transportation Of these officers, say
ing that the present allowance OF D
cents a mile is inadequate.
Computations By State Department
officials show that the cents mile
fails to reimburse an unmarried con-
sular officer by from 2 mills to 10
cents a mile and a married officer by
from mills to sl02. a mile.
Secretary Lansing cites these in
stances: Cost Of transportation and
subsistence Of an officer transferred
from Washington 10 Hong Kong, for
himself and wife, ss20.50; government
reimbursement, S5S750; personal loss.
S232.70. Officer and wife transferred
from London 10 Naples, transportation
and subsistence cost, 5000; govern
ment reimbursement, 1876; cost from
Naples TO Gothenburg, $685. govern
ment reimbursement, 1855. In none
of these cases was the cost of trans
porting household effects included.
Secrtsry Lansing says that these Of.
fcers compete with similar officers OF
other governments which pay all ex-
penses; that naval officers get cents
a mile in the United States and actual
expenses abroad, and Senators and Rep
resentatives get 20 cents a mile Zach
