GAS THREATENS.
WAR PROGRAM
Shortage of Motor Fuel Is
Causing Crisis, Says
Judge.

This country is facing a crisis in
oil production which threatens its
war program" Judge J. Harry Cow
ington. counsel for the National
Petroleum War Service Committee.
told the Senate Committee on FL
nance yesterday.
"SlNty thousand barrels OF crude
oil are now being drawn daily from
the reserve that was built up by oil
producers" declared Judge CovlnE-
ton. and II 1t had not been that a
great reserve had been stored UP,
the country would have felt the ef-
fccts of a serious shortage before
this time.
AN proposed taxes as affecting oil
and gasoline prove burdensome and
at this time oil and its by-products
should be exempt from sale and other
taxes that would tend to decrease
production and drive oil dealers out
of business
Taxation and all other matters
pertaining to the business could be
cared for best by an administrative
board under government supervision
and with wide powers"
IF you had choice would you
OF some college TO regulate the oil
business?" asked Senator Penrose. of
Pennsylvania.
Judge Covington allowed the ques-
tion to pass. but when Senator Lodge
asked II the figures on oil production,
consumption and reserve furnished
by the Fuel Administration were cor
rect. Judge Covington replied:
Il do not know who gathered those
hgures and cannot vouCh for their
accuracy. but figures carefully com.
piled by the oil men show substan-
ual shortage in crude oil"
Penrosc to Seek Cause.
Senator Penrose announced his in
tention OF calling members OF the Fuf
Administration before the Senate to
explain the reason for the restriction
OF the use OF gasoline on sundays, and
especially why it applies only east OF
the Mississippi River. lie asked Judge
Covington II he could explain or give
a reason for the territorial division,
and the witness said he could not.
That order is seriously interfering
with the production of coal" said Sem
ator Penrose. THE miners Of my
state, who cannot use their automo-
hiles to take trips on Sunday to visit
their friends and relatives. are taking
Saturdays or Mondays off and thus
slowing down the production OF coal
so necessary to the winning OF the
war.
This gasoline order Is the result
either of the petty vanity OF an up
start or else Interior motives not yet
disclosed"

TO QUIZ 1887
ON SAME DATE
New Regiistrants to Be Sent
Questionnaires at
One Time.

All Questionnaires are to be mailed
to registrants at the same time by All
order issued yesterday by Provost
Marshal General Crowder. This will
upset the plan of some local boards to
mail the missionaries Immediately
The date for mailing will be set some
time in the near future It is expected.
The local boards, having broken all
records for registration, were prepar-
ed to keep up the good work by get
ting their Questlonnaires out TO the
registrants carly. Mai. D. J. Donovan.
director OF the draft for the District,
yesterday sent notice of the new or
der to the local boards and they are
holding up the issuance of the PAM
phlets pending the selection of the
date for mailing.
Only those persons who shall not
have reached their 37th birthday but
who have attained their 18th shall be
called for classification and drafted
for military service at the present
time.
The order issued yesterday provides
that questionnaires shall be issued
only to the registrants included in the
above ages. No provision is made
for the classification OF the men who
have registered who are only IS years
old nor for those who are over %.
Plan Saves Time.
Local draft officials were unable to
state yesterday the reason for this.
but they believe that since these men
are not to be inducted until the other
class is exhausted, it was useless to
spend time required for other duties
in classifying them.
Local boards are already laying
plans for the classification of the
men who registered Thursday. The
questionnaires will be all ready for
mailing when the date is announced
and the registrants will be given
seven days, exclusive Of Sundays and
holidays, in which to fill them out
and return them to the district board.
II is expected that many of the ques-
tionnaires will be filled out and re-
turned before the expiration OF this
period. as some OF the men have no
need to wait any length OF time be-
fore securing the information re-
quired.
Owing to the fact that a great many
more applications for exemption on
Industrial grounds than in former
registrations are expected, the district
boards are to have the service of three
Industrial advisers. appointed by the
Department of Labor to aid in pass
ing on such claims.

UKRAINE HAS PRACTICALLY
CONCLUDED SEPARATE PEACE
WITH GERMANY
BREACH AMONG THE RUSSIANS
Foreign Minister Trotzky Said He
Could Not Allow Them TO Treat
independently

Amsterdam. Jan. 22-Ukralne has
concluded a separate
peace with Germany.
Word from Brest-Litovsk. receiv-
ed via Berlin today, gave this first
news OF breach among the Rus
SLAMS. The agreement between Ger
many and the infant Ukrainan re-
public was concluded Sunday. Pre-
yious word had stated that all Rus
sian delegates had departed from
Brest-Litovsk and this had been sup
posed to include the ukrainans.
Decision by the Ukrainans to
make separate peace and not to
act In concert with the Bolsheviki
delegates representing Russia at
large will undoubtedly be heavy
blow to the Bolsheyiki hopes.
Foreign Minister Trotzky had pre-
viously stated he could not allow
the Ukrainan delegates to treat the
question of occupied territory inde-
pendently. They have apparently
gone exactly counter to his wishes.

Trotzky also declared that one
