More Than 10 Billions of
War Funds Saved by u. S.
Unspent Cash and Contract
Authorizations to Go Back
Into Treasury

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-More than
S16,0O0000, of cash appropriations
and contract authorizations voted by
Congress for war purposes will be un-
expended, Representative Sherley, Of
Kentucky, chairman of the House Ap-
preparations Committee, announced to-
day.
The total appropriations and author
lzatlons voted during the war amount
to about $57,000,000, 900, including $1O,-
000,000,000 of authorizations for war
time loans to foreign governments
The loans made now total about 49,
O00,000,000.
More than So 900 100000 of cash ap-
preparations and approximately 49,
00000O,O0O Of contract authorizations
Will be converted back into the Treas
ury," said Representative Sherlcy.
Most of the money will come from the
War Department, the largest saving,
of course, being from ordnance be-
cause the greatest amount Of money
was appropriated for that.
"The contract authorizations do not
represent money chat will be returned
as a result of cancellations of con-
tracts. These authorizations were
voted by Congress for departments to
contract to expend and most of the
$4,000, 100000 was unobligated"

Million Shipping Tons
Diverted to u. S. Trade
French Cease CancelIing Char
ters of Vessels Intended to
Carry American Troops

PARIS, Dec. 2O-Arrangements have
been made by which 100000 tons Of
shipping will be released from the army
supply service and diverted to Ameri-
can export trade to aid home industries
in changing from war to a peace basis.
Satisfactory arrangements have been
perfected with the French authorities
to cease cancelling the charters of
ships intended to carry home Ameri-
can troops.
An important meeting, at which the
shipping needs of all the Allies and the
United States will be discussed, will be
held tomorrow. Arrangements, it is
said, will be made for division of tom
mage SO as to give preference in the
following order: European relief, re-
turn of American troops and CONNER
cial business.
American shipping authorities here
have been advised that much tonnage
which was expected to be used in carry
ing home Canadian and Australian
troops possibly may be diverted to
American needs. as those dominions
are not planning to return their SOL
diers very quickly.
1t is believed that the result will be
the homecoming of all American troops
within twelve months
