of the sale, such as price and com- mission to be paid the agent, would first have to be approved by the court.
 In a second motion filed to-day the receiver asks the court wheth- CT it should release the mortgage of the Merchants Trust company in the amount of $85,000 on North Elm street property, to the West Side Savings Bank which has in- stituted foreclosure proceedings against the property. The receiver states the mortgage was included among the assets of the Merchants Trust company and covers tho two apartment blocks on North Elm street. An appraisal of the prop erty has shown there IS no equity above the mortgages In the prop erty and the. receiver believes re- demption should not be made. The releasing of the mortgage would save considerable expense and de- lay, the paper states.
 The receiver, in third motion asks advice concerning an addi- tional claim for the income tax re- turn for the year 1881.
 The receiver points out that it filed with the collector of internal revenue, income tax for the year 1881 on the Merchants Trust com pany In the amount of $13,998.86. The receiver explains that the revenue collector disallowed an amount of $486 for furniture and fixtures on the grounds that 1t was not 6 proper write-off. The re- ceiver agrees with the revenue col- lector that this amount should not have been written off and sug- gests that 1t be added to the total tax due the government.

 JAPAN STATE IN CRISIS TODAY
ManchOukuO Has Demand ed That Russia Return Railway Rolling Stock Russia COnfiscated

Changchun, Manchuria, April 12. -(UP)-The crisis between Russia and the Japanese state of Man choukuo over operations of the jointly operated Chinese Eastern railway was heightened today when the Manchurian representative de- livered an ultlmatum to Moscow demanding the return of confiscat- ed rolling stock within a month.
 Demand for restitution was made as the situation threatened to force abandonment of international mall and passenger train service in Manchuria.
 The note demanded the return of 83 locomotives, 190 carriages and 3,200 freight cars which the Soviet allegedly hauled into its territory and flatly refused to re- store to Manchurian service.
 The Japanese -Manchu military moved to execute an order issued last week, severing connections of the Chinese Eastern railway with the Trans-Siberian railway at Man chuli, northwestern gateway to Moscow and Europe. Soldiers switched cars onto main tracks at connecting points. blocking move ment of international trains. It was understood that connecting points at Progranitchnaya were similarly blocked.
 Manchoukuo authorities support ed their action with a strongly worded note to Moscow, declaring the blockade was necessary to avert additional seizures of equip. ment.
 Passenger service over the long bleak northern route of the tram Siberian road to Vladivostok, was proceeding as usual. Freight ser- vice, was disrupted. This line skirts Manchuria to the north, op- erating entirely in Soviet territory, but is much longer than tho Chin ese Eastern line between Man. chuli and Vladivostok, via Hnrbin.

BY RAYMOND CHAPTER

(Copyright, 1888, by United Press) Washington, April 12 - (UP) - New expenses appear to be on the way toward largely offsetting sav- ings made by drastic economies in the new administration, according to a United Press canvass today. Figures and estimates now 0b- tainable show economies to date practically balancing new expen- dieures, amounting to $75O,000,0O0 each.
 The amount of net savings uiti- mateiy will depend upon the ex- tent of further cuts in executive departments.
 These figures do not include the contemplated public works bond issue. They are confined to money saved or to be spent out of tax receipts.
 That President Roosevelt is rad- ically shifting the purposes of gov- ernment expenses is clear from the figures. Millions of dollars are to be saved from government salaries, veteran payments, and abolition or useless government jobs. These savings are deflationary. they take money away from po- tential spenders. But they are, in effect, to be put to other uses such as direct federal relief for the 'des- titute, for reforestation which will not only provide employment now but will ultimately yield profitable returns in timber sales, into Muscle Shoals for development of cheap power, and into naval building to bring, the navy up to treaty strength.
 Major economies ordered or virt- ually decided upon include:
 Veterans ......... .$460,000.000
 Justice Department. 100000
 Commerce Dept -. 100000
 General Salary Cuts 130,000,OO0
 Postoffice Dept .... 125,000,000
 Navy (tentative est) 26,000.O0O
 Total ...........$761,O00.00
 In addition there will be savings of undetermined size, in the army and the agriculture and interior departments. Several billion dol lars in Liberty bonds may be con- verted to lower interest bearing obligations this year with a saving in interest of possibly $100,000,0OO Q year.
 There is & curtailment of outlays by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, which spent $1,675,- 000.000 in its first year.
 Major new expenses probably will include the following:

BIG BATTLES in
CHACO DISPUTE
Paraguayan Victory
at Aceval

LA PAz, Bolivia, April 23.-The big
Bolivian offensive launched on We'd
nesday appears to have been at least
temporarily unsuccessful. The Boil
Wan official military communique
claims that the Paraguaysn advances
along the entire front north of the
Aliquata were elecisively repulsed
while Bolivian air raids have kept
the Paraguayan air forces grounded.
On the other hand despatch from
Asuncion, capital of Paraguay, states
that $50 Bolivians were killed in the
battle Of Camp Aceval, as compared
with Paraguayan casualties of thir :
teen men wounded.
The Bolivian Foreign Minister has
rejected the Brazilian offer of arbit-
ration, demanding settlement Of the
Chaco dispute ON the basis Of COM
plete acceptance Of Bolivian demands.
The war In South America is part
OF an. economic war between Great
Britain who dominates Paraguay, and
United States who has practically 100
per cent control Of Bolivia's finances.
The war over the disputed Chaco
territory began after rich oil deposits
had been discovered in the region.
Attempts to settle the dispute by ar
bitration have been in the past dis
honest moves by either Of the two big
powers. The proposed arbiters Of the
Chaco dispute invariably turn out to
be controlled either by England or

quires the maximum reduction
Of the use of British ports and bases
for transit and re-export.
The decree likewise introduces re-
strictiye regulations in regard to Brit
ish goods in transit through the U.
S. S. R. by placing heavy duties upon
all such transport, which will compel
Britain to use long sea routes for a
considerable portion of its trade to
the Far East and imports of ma
terials from that part of the world.
These measures will remain in force
during the operation of the British
embargo against the import of a
number of Soviet commodities into
England.
Based On 1880 Decision.
This order is based upon decision
OF the Council of Peoples Commits
sars of the U. S. S. R. of October 20,
1880, on economic relations with
countries establishing restrictive
regime regarding commerce with the
Soviet Union.
Information here is to the effect
that the London trade representa-
tiyes of the Soviet Union in England
will leave tomorrow for Moscow on
orders of RoSengoltz, Peoples Com
miSsar of Foreign Trade to give re-
ports on the situation.
Growth of Soviet Imports.
The Moscow press is publishing
interesting data on the growth of
Soviet imports from the beginnings
of Soviet rule. In 1919, Soviet i'm
ports totalled only 100000 gold
rubles, rising to over 100000, 900 gold
rubles in 1880. In the intervening
years imports rose steadily year by
year. During the past IA years the
goods imported into the Soviet Union
have aggregated eight and a half
billion gold rubles, so per cent COM
ing from Germany, England and the
United States.
Development of British Trade,
Trade was begun with England in
1919. Operations grew uninterrupt-
edly and two years later imports from
Britain rose to 100000 rubles,
reaching 120,OOO,OOO rubles in 1925.
Imports from England to the Soviet
Union dropped sharply after the
break in diplomatic relations follow
ing the raid on ARGOS, the Soviet
trading agency in London falling to
100000 rubles in 1925. After the
resumption of relations imports rose
steadily.
Huge Machinery Imports.
Soviet imports of machinery dur
ing the past fifteen years amounted
to over 3,0OO,00O,OOO rubles, while to-
tai exports during that period were
nearly 100000, 900 rubles. Under the
Five Year-Plan exports totalled
nearly five and half billion rubles.
During these years of Soviet mon
opoly of foreign trade large export
base has been established for the
shipment of timber, oil, furs, ETC.,

Soviet imports to Britain is a step
in the direction of war against the
Soviet Union. The wrecking and spy
ing activities of the British citizens
who we're convicted confirm this con-
elusion.
"At the same time, the recall Of the
British Ambassador from Moscow
and the other acts OF the British
Government in connection with this
case are intended to counterfeit the
widespread favorable sentiment for
1scognition of the Soviet Government
existing in the United States. Even
many representatives Of other for
cign governments in Moscow as well
rs newspaper correspondents have ex-
pressed this view. The British Gov
eminent does not want to have the
