FOREIGN COMMERCE
STILL ON DECREASE
Exports in April $168,684,-
1872 Below Total for Same
Month i'm 1920.
MOTOR CARS HARD HIT
Decline of $8,500,000 Is
Largest in List of Lead
ing Industries.
MOTOR CARS HARD HIT
IMPORTS ALSO SHRINKING
Crude Rubber About $23,000,-
600 Less Than Year Ago
Fewer Jewels Come In.

Commerce at the port of New York
shows no signs of revival as yet. Ac-
cording to figures obtained at the Gus
tom House yesterday for the month Of
April--the last month for which they
have been computed-exports showed
decrease of 6S,ss4.s92 over the same
month last year. The imports for April
this year also were s146, o7o less than
in April, 1920.
The decrease In exports and imports
here has been continuous ever since
January. During that month the export
business took sudden but short lived
spurt In January. 1920, goods valued
at $243.5S3.45s were shipped from here
to foreign markets. During January OF
the present year the total mounted to
$346.4s1,s69. an increase of s102.s28.-
40. Trade dropped Off In February,
however, the value Of exports falling
from $2s3.s60.490 in 1920 to $224.562.-
240 In February. 1891. The March ex-
port trade was even worse. the figures
dropping from $3S7.647,261 In 1920 to
$165. 5.157 $50 last March.
The decrease In the value Of imports
Is equally impressive. In January, 1920,
they were valued at $2S0.e97,65s. Dur
ing last January they amounted to but
sos, 1887. In February, 1920. goods
worth s260.144.810 were brought into
the country through the port of New
York, but last February only $103.427.-
293 worth were imported here. Imports
for March, 1920, reached a. total OF
s292.275. .S56. while those for March. 1921.
amounted to $123,996,959.
A comparison of the importations dur
ing April this year and last reveal q
tremendous drop in the amount of crude
rubber arriving In the country. The i'm
portation value of $2s,145,375 In April.
1890. fell to $5,231.662 this year. Uncut
diamonds worth $1.14s.490 were received
here during April last year as con-
trasted with but $ss.695 worth last
April. The importations Of cut dia-
nonds dropped from s4.712.541 In April.
1920. to s1,s10,729 in April, 1921.
Pearls are apparently finding COM
paratively better market here and the
irnportations for last April were nearly
treble those OF the corresponding month
last year.
The trend of the export and import
trade at the port OF New York may be
seen at o. glance from the following
leading examples. contrasted for April.

The first battalion of the BLACK

The streets were strewn with
flowers in honor of the first British

The German population in the dis

almost as conquerors certainly as

the soldiers were pelted with flowers
and otherwise received with enthusi-
assn unusual to the undemonstratiVe
nature Of the German people.
So far as the German population Of
Oppeln is concerned, Germany has

Data on University Attendance.

How much has the state of Wiscon-
sin spent upon its state university
since 1849, when the university was
founded, and for what has the money
been used? Business Manager FL. j.
Thorkelson of the university has re-
Gently prepared some interesting figures
in answer to these questions. "Since
the state made its first contribution to
the university in 1851 he writes, ''it
has spent in all a total of S28,000,O0O
upon the university for all purposes
whatsoever. This represents a sum
about four times the cost of the state
capitol and less than one-third of the
federal taxes collected from the state
of Wisconsin during 1919-192O. Be
tween $4,000 and 100000 different stu
dents have been in attendance at the
university for longer or shorter
periods. This year about $500 are en-
rolled for the regular two-semester
courses at Madison, over $500 attend
ed the last summer session, some 600
were present at the various short
courses and over $4,000 are enrolled
in correspondence courses.

SLACKER'S CASH
Money and Property Of BergdoII
Taken by Alien Property
Custodian
SUM TOTALS ABOUT S85O,OOO
President Orders Government to Con-
fiscate Property Owned by PhiIa-
dephian Who Is Now
in Germany.

Philadelphia, May 3O.-All of the
property in this city of Grover Cleve-
land Bergdoll, convicted draft evader,
now in Germany, valued at about
$850,OOO was seized by Col. Thomas w.
Miller, alien property custodian. The
property consists of real estate and
money in four banks.
The seizure, Colonel Miller an
nounced, was by direction of the Pres
ident, and under the authority of the
trading with the enemy act. 1t was
the first seizure since June, 1919.
The property was held by Mrs. EN-
ma G. Bergdoll, Growers mother, I'M
der power of attorney.
It is expected the seizure will cut
off all funds Grover may be receiving
from the United States and throw
him upon his own resources in Ger
many.
Washington, May 3O.-Grover Cleve-
land Bergdoll, by reason of his escape
to Germany, is now held by the Amer
lean government to be an "enemy''
within the meaning of the trading
with the enemy act. This is explained
IN a statement made public at the
Office of Thomas w. Miller, alien
property custodian.
The alien property custodian issued
the following statement:
At the personal direction of the
President Of the United Stetes and in.
accordance with an opinion of the
attorney general, have gone to Phila-
delphia to seize such property belong
ing to Grover Cleveland Bergdoll as
has been reported to the alien proper
ty custodian as being his own prop
erty, or in which he has any interest
whatsoever, whether owned and adj
ministered directly by him or through
power of attorney given to any MEM
her of his family.
This move has been in contempla-
ltion for several weeks and has been
the subject of conference between the
President, the attorney general and
the alien property custodian. The
state department has amended the
general war trade board license of
October 2, 1920 which permitted Berg
doh to enjoy the benefits of his prop
ierty in this country.
"BergdoEl, in addition to his other
crimes against this country by reason
,of his evasion of the draft laws and
subsequent escape, is today an enemy
under the trading with the enemy act.
The intention Of the alien property
custodian is to administer and operate
the property seized from Bergdoll as
that of any other enemy's held by
him, until congress directs what dis
position is to be made of the enemy
property. in the hands of the Gus
ltodian.'
