"Ambidextrous men, whose leather

the war are trying to accomplish with

torpedoes and naval guns.
"The Pacific fleet is not an 'exper-

Affecting Motorists.

with reserve supplies OF gasoline
greatly depleted and with the reserve
supply OF crude oil sufficient but for
six weeks. Government officials are
considering means OF controlling the
supply OF gasoline or limiting the
sse OF motor vehicles. II was learned
today.
The Bureau OF Mines Is now en-
gagged in collecting data on the pro-
auction and consumption or gasoline
as q basis for recommendations for
its conservation. One remedy which
has been suggested Is the ALLEGATION
OF available gasoline under Govern
ment supervision and another plan
has been advanced for restrictions
upon the use OF motor vehicles in or
der that sufficient supply OF fuel
may be assured for necessary uses.
Information collected by the Blu
reau OF Mines indicates that the
.bortage, which Is acute through
out the country, Is due in a consid-
cradle degree to the attempts of for
eien interests TO corner the worlds
supply OF crude oil. Money borrowed
by foreign interests in the United
States at 8 and q per cent interest
has been used TO acquire available
oil lands throughout the world. This
movement has reduced the supplies
in the United States.
Demand for gasoline Is now at the
highest point II has eyer been. The
Bureau Of Mines ascribes this to the
greatly Increased use of motor cars
and particularly the increased use of
motor trucks.
To increase the stringencies OF the
situation and making the demand
more acute. the Bureau OF Mines has
found that the quality of gasoline has
ranidlv deteriorated since 1918

Government Spends 20
Millions to Collect
3 Billions in Taxes

II cost the United states s2o,-

taxes last year. according TO a
statement made by the Internal
Revenue Bureau. This IL at the
rate OF 53 cents for each 800.
The statement called attention
to these figures as refuting re-
ports that the bureau had ex-
pended as high as 60 per cent OF
its income tax collections for ad-
ministrative purposes. OF the
total collections, IL says, $4,000
$4,000 were income and excess
profits taxes and the 63 cents on
500 ratio also included collee-
tions OF such revenue as the child

NEW YORK GETS
 DANISH BUTTER
 FIRST IN YEARS

New York, Jan. 13-While Europe is crying for fats, Danish butter is be- ing shipped into the New York mar ket for the first time in five years, dealers here reported today. The first shipment of 112,000 pounds arrived from Copenhagen two weeks ago and it has since been followed by another shipment of 144.4SO pounds with more on the way. Initial wholesale prices ran up to 70 cents a pound but they have since followed the downward trend of the American market and the butter is now selling for 64 1-2 and 65 cents a pound.
 The butter is paid for here in American money, and the high prices received for 1t by Danish manufac- turers because of the difference in ex- change rates, which are said to aver age 20 per cent. in their favor, is be- lieved to be responsible for the ship rnent to the local market. There is a heavy demand for butter and other fats in Central Europe but the highe' prices obtainable in the America market accounts for the heavy e ports to this country.

HARDING A BUSY MAN

Difficulties Not So Great as He Had
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Another
Trip South.

Marion, o., Dec. 15.-President-
elect Harding believes that he is not
going to encounter as many difficult
ties as he anticipated in reaching "a
common ground of understanding on
the international policy of the new
Republican administration. He made
this point plain in a talk with news
paper correspondents. Despite the
widely divergent views as to how
America can best play her part" in
efforts toward world peace which SEN
atOr Harding Is bound to receive from
the distinuished list of conferees that
viii appear in Marion, he believes that
safe middle course can be found
through which the ship of state can
be steered With minimum of danger.
The President-elect is of the opinion
that the multiplicity of ideas present
ed by his conferees will in no way
serve to confuse the issue, hut on the
other hand will enable him to choose
from the best in each plan offered
1t is apparent that Senator Hard
ing expects shortly to reach a de-
termination on international, questions
and that he will he prepared to bring
the Marion conferences to close
about the middle of January, when he
expects to leave on a southern trip
that will consume the time remaining

The burning question of cabinet APP
pointments Senator Harding declined
10 discuss, except to repeat that he
had 'made no offers" as yet. All eff
forts to obtain any real indication of
the makeup Of the new cabinet so far
have been baffled by the complete ST.

OVERSEAS TRADE BIG
UNPRECEDENTED TOTAL oS sir
s75,424, 900 REACHED.
Secretary of Commerce Reports Almost
Half of II Carried by United
States Beats.

Washington, Dec. 15.-Nearly one
half of the nations reeord-breaking
overseas commerce ia the last fiscal
year was carried in American ships,
Secretary of Commerce Alexander
shows in his annual report.
The overseas trade reached the I'M
precedenfed total of S11,S75. 700,
and $5,071 .9O5,O00 of it was carried
in American-owned vessels, as against
S36S, $4,000 carride in American bot
IONS the year before the war
The total volume of imports and ex-
ports by land and sea was $780,
681, 900, nearly $3,OO0OOO,OO0 above
the previous record established in the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1919. I'm
ports for the last year amounted to
s., a38, 621 900, as compared with So
095, 10000 for the previous year and
almost $3,000000,O00 for the fiscal
year of 1918. The value of exports for
the last fiscal year aggregated $780,
$4,000 an increase of approximately
$500, 100000 over the previous year
and $2,00O000,O00 over 1918.
Mr.. Alexander also shows that dur
ing the last fiscal year the American
fleet was increased by go vessels Of
3,416,000 gross tons. and that on last
June 80 American shipping comprised
2s,1S3 vessels Of 16.324,O00 gross tons.
This compares with 7.92S,6S8 in 1914.
Growth of American shipping has
been wholly in the foreign trade" the
secretary said 'much more than half
of that growth having taken place
since the armistice Of November IL,
1913, and the increase of the last fis-
cal year being double that of any
years before the armistice. This in
crease in tonnage would mean little
unless it stood also for an increase in
trade"
