FEDERAL CONTROL
EXTENDED TO OIL
LICENSES MUST BE OBTAINED BY
ALL THE BIG PRODUCERS
AID DISTRIBUTORS.
PREFERENTIAL LIST ISSUED
Mark L. Requa of California Is Placed
in Complete Control of Oil Ad-
ninistration.-Must Have
Licenses by Feb. II.

Washington, Feb. Z. - Government
control of industry has been extended
to oil in a proclamation by President
Wilson putting under license the man
ufacture and distribution of all fuel
oils. No mention is made of other
oils or oil products, including gasoline
and kerosene, but they too, probably
will be put under control soon.
Authority under the proclamation is
to be vested in Mark l.. Requa of Cali
| fOrnia, recently named as chief of the
fuel administrators oil division. Lii
censes must be obtained before Feb
ruary IL, by all manufacturers and
distributors whose gross sales of fuel
including gas oil, amount to more than
100000 barrels year.
A series of regulations drawn by the
fuel administration established in the
east a list of preferential consumers
who must be supplied in the order they
are given regardless of contracts out
standing.
Difficulties of transportation, it IS
declared, both in the presidents proc
lamation and in Il statement prepared
by the fuel administration, make Ii
censing necessary, that essential in
dustries be supplied. Operation of the
control will cut the supplies of the less
essential industries where lack of
transportation creates shortage.
The preferential list is set forth as
follows:
Railroads and bunker fuel.
Export deliveries or shipments for
the army or navy.
Export shipments for the navies and |
other war purposes of the allies.
Hospitals where oil is now being |
used as fuel.
Public utilities and domestic con-
sumers now using fuel oil, including
gas oil.
Shipyards engaged in government
work.
Navy yards.
Arsenals.
Plants engaged in the manufacture,
and storage of food prod-1
lctS.
Army and navy environments where
oil now is being used for fuel.
Industrial consumers engaged in the
of munitions and other .
lrticles under government orders. ;
All other classes.
In issuing the preferential list the
uel administration at the same time i

ration of the Monday closing order as I
has been shown that most of the t
il consumers already We're excepted t
nder previous exemptions. This ex- |
mption includes not only users of fuel Y

RED CROSS MAKES REPORT
ON ALL MONEY COLLECTED
To Date S7e,450, 727.35 Has Been APP.
Propriated for Relief Work.
Criticisms Answered.

Washington, Feb. What the
American Red Cross has done with the
vast sums of money entrusted to it by
the people of the United States is
stated in detail in report just issued
by the national headquarters. To date,
$40, 450, 727.35 has been appropriated
for relief work in this country and
abroad.
For foreign relief S44,657, 795 has
been appropriated as follows: France,

Russia, $751 .940.S7; Roumania, S2,617,-

1906; Great Britain, $1,7O3,642; other
foreign countries, $2,536,3O0; Ameri-
can soldiers who may be taken pris-
oner, $343,627.
The foregoing appropriations are
from the time the United States EN-
tered the war until April 80, 1918. For
the United States the Red Cross has
appropriated 1882, 1920 and the rea-
son this sum is not larger is because
the government provides nearly every
thing our army and navy needs, and
besides, there is no civilian distress in
this country of any considerable pro-
portions.
The great variety of the military and
civilian relief work being done by the
Red Cross is indicated briefly in the
following list; canteens that afford
food, baths and sleeping quarters for
men at the front; rest stations and

FoRTY-FoUR BODIES FOUND.

An Irish Port, Feb. 9.-The bodies
of A of the missing 166 victims of
the Tuscania disaster ware washed
up on the rocks - miles from the
scene of the torpedoing. All were
Americans and their bodies were mu-
tilated beyond recognition.
A pathetic feature is that although
all the victims wore tags, no identifi-
cation numbers had been put on them
because these Americans had not as
yet been assigned to definite army
units Therefore there is no way in
which to identify them and they will
be buried in one grave.

Recalls Antilles Sinking.
The Tuscania was the first ship car

pedoed and sunk in the war zone
While returning to the United States
from France and IA soldiers were lost
with 1876 other persons, including sew
eral members of the naval armed
guard.
American warships conveying trans
ports to France last June twice fought
off submarine attacks. Since then,
however, there has been no report of
an attack on ship carrying Ameri-
can troops to Europe.
Recently the navy department has
feared that the Germans would make
a concerted effort to intercept trans
ports. and call of many of the subma-
rines TO the bases being interpreted as
preliminary to campaign.
Bound for England.
The position of the Tuscania when |
she was sunk, is taken to indicate |
that she was bound for England. Her |
sinking definitely discloses that Brit
sh snaps are being used to carry
American troops abroad supplementing
American transport tonnage. This
act has been intimated before and
arises from the decision of
he supreme war council to make
very effort to Augment General Per-
Kings army during the present year.
Navy officials have insisted that de-
pite the most careful plans and eff
orts to safeguard transports, there
vas always a chance that a troop
hip would stumble upon a lurking
ubmarine and the general belief now
5 that this is what happened in this
ase.
The same regulations as to lifesav-
ng apparatus govern the movement of
american troops on a British vessel
s would govern their passage on an
american craft.
Those regulations, which are rig
lily enforced, provide for sufficient
fe boats and life raft capacity for
very man aboard the ship, even if
