DETROITERS WANT
TO SEE MARINES
PLAY ON DIAMOND

Detroit wants to take a look at
the Quantico Marines in action on
the diamond. Lieut.. James Craige,
athletic officer at Quantico, Va, and
manager Of the now famous team,
has received fattering offers to
visit Detroit with the Marines.
President Frank Navin of the De-
troit baseball club, has offered the
use of the big league park.
The Marines are scheduled to visit
Chicago within the next two weeks,
and the Detroit trip may be included
in the itinerary II plans cane be COM
pleted here. The Quantico lads are
going strong at present. They have
lost one game in the past month and
are in top form.
New players have been added in the
person of Paul Cobb, Walter Rousch.
Anderson. Emery, and Spone, and the
team is rated as one of the strongest
in the country. The Marines, always
a big drawing card in the past, are
in great demand.
Chicago has offered the use OF the
ball park for the Marines when they
play there. Camp Grant and the
Great Lakes naval training station
have given fine guarantees. st. Louis
has also made a bid for the Marines,
IL is understood, and IL the players

Foreign-Tra Statistics to Be Revised

An important revision and extension
Of the monthly, quarterly, and annual

ture, probably on the first of January
More than fifteen hundred new items

tion and the number of import items
will be materially increased.
The work of revising and extending
the classifications has been carried out
under the direction Of G.. B. Roorback
Of the shipping board we'll known for
his work at the Wharton school, who
has been detailed to do the work for
the department of commerce, and who
has had the assistance Of numerous ex.
perts connected with the treasury de-
partment, the shipping board, the war
trade board, the war industries board
and the cooperation Of the tariff com
mission, the bureau of the census of the
department of commerce, and other gov
eminent organizations. II is one of the
steps being taken to enlarge the prac.
teal usefulness Of the department of
commerce to the business community.
The plans now nearly completed pro.
vide for an enlarged classification for
both imports and exports, instead of the
two classifications at present used, and
instead Of the present alphabetical ar
rangement of items by commodities
there will be more general assembling
Of items under great groups. As early

gestions from business men Adaptable
ty to mechanical tabulation has been
kept in mind in making the changes.
As there is now bill in Congress
providing for the publication of annual
trade statistics by calendar instead Of
fiscal years, it is possible that the change
in classification will coincide with
change to calendar-year figures. Those
in favor of the change to the calendar
year argue that it viii confirm to the

Cut Down Expenses.

Those congressman and senators who
are already beginning to insist upon a
reduction of the national expenses ought
to have the support of public opinion
throughout the country. We went into
our job of winning the war regardless OF
what it might cost. This involved not
only the creation Of huge military
and naval establishment, but it led to
the establishment of multitude of
boards, commissions and bureaus which
have had to do with everything from
the conservation of food and fuel to the
settlement of labor disputes and the dis
tribution of public information Every
such board or bureau has its own host
of officials, clerks stenographers and its
big budget for expenses of every sort,
The war workers, largely of the swivel
chair variety, have crowded Washington

So long as the issue of the great con.
fiet hung in the balance this great ex.
pansion of governmental functions and
personnel was more or less justifiable
The nation could not well begrudge the
expenditures Of anything that might,
even indirectly, help to bring ultimate
victory. But now that the war has been
won there is no good reason why the
non-combstant legions should not be
forthwith demobilized. Some of these or

how enormous the cost has been. We

And Announces Its Desire to Be Allowed

Early Peace.

Basel, Monday, Nov. lS.-Foreign Min

eminent has sent an address to Presi-
dent Wilson, confirming the proclamation
Of the German Austrian republic and ex-
pressing the hope that President Wilson,
in accordance with his principles, sup
port the efforts of Germans in Austria
to effect union with Germany. He
pointed out that this is the same as sup
porting the rights of the Poles, Italians
and Jugo-Slavs to unite with mother
lands outside of Austria Hungary.
The foreign minister also begs Mr..
Wilson to bring about an early discus
sion of peace preliminaries and concludes
by saying that his government is consti-
tuted of representatives from all parties
and has succeeded up to the present in
preserving order. This task, however,
has been difficult because of the lack of
food, the blockade being said to threaten
famine
