Cost of Customs
Collections.

lected in the preceding fiscal year,
the work incidental to collecting the
customs revenue, according to Treas
ury Department officials, was per-
formed with a decrease in expenses.
And this decrease in operating costs
has been made also notwithstanding
the manifold extra duties imposed
For instance, customs officers are
charged with preventing the shipment
of unlicensed cargoes: passports Of
taken up or cancelled by customs Of
fcers, and these officers examine all
passports of persons going abroad;
examiners, by reason of their tech
meal knowledge, render great service
to the War Department in examining
articles purchased for the depart
ment to determine whether they meet
with the contract specifications.
| The decrease in expenses does not
wholly show the saving made to the
government, for. following the prac-
tice of the past few years, the in
stal1ation Of improved methods and
systems has been continued. The
was. of course, paid for from the ap-
preparation for the past fiscal year
and necessarily would not permit the
| true saving to be shown. However,
later years. the officials say, will show
| the benefits of lower operating costs.
| The past year has found a great de-
mand for space in federal buildings,
due to the many additional officers
who must be accommodated. This,
together with the desire to reorganize
and redistribute the working forces
Of the customs service to enable the
public to transact business, 30 far as
possible, on the main floor Of q build
ing, and also to enable each Office to
handle its work with the least effort
and delay, has caused q reorganiza-
tion of the forces. principally at Bos-
ton and New York.
1t is the intention Of the department
to apply the same businesslike or
ganiZation to all other ports which
are not organized along these lines.
| While it has been the endeavor to
reduce operating expenses by simpler
the result that the number of en-
ployees was decreased from 6.sS1 in
| 1916 to 6.727 in 1917, the policy has
been followed of increasing the SAL

this head are two classes in partic-
ular; first. those employees possess
ing unusual knowledge or training;
and, second, those employees who re-

Washington, Oct. 9.-The GONZALES
cence of Russia from the disease of
Bolshevikism is proceeding at a re-
markably rapid rate.
With the exception of cholera
stricken and terrorized cities and dis
tricts in Petrograd and Moscow there
virtually is no place in Russia where
the power of Lenine and Trotsky is
existing, cables TO the Russian en-
bassy indicated today.
All of the nationalities in Russia
have again once more united in an
effort for a free and prosperous land.
Only the nationalities of the Caucus
and Ukraine have not as yet offered
their allegiance to the new all Rus
sian form of government formed at
Una.
This is not due to their opposition
to the new government. The Ukraines
are helpless for the time being due to
the presence of German army mum
bering about one half million men.
The Caucus is in a similar plight
due to the Turkish and German oc
cupation.
Even the people of the Baltic prov
inces are represented in the new
