GREY NOTE MAY
HELP TO RATIFY
Recent Letter Believed .to
Imply Britain .Will Accept
Reservations.
Washington.--A renewal of senate
debate on tile peace treaty next week
was regarded as virtually assured
when Republican leaders decided to
join wifh the ])omocrats in the move-
ment io bring tile treaty back into the
opql senate.
The letter of Viscount Grey, former
British ambassador here, to the Lon-
don Times, in which he aid Ameri-
can reservations to the peace treaty
were justified from an American point
of view, will hasten ratification, it
was believed here.
Senators who favored reservations
held that Gray's letter took the ground
out from under those members who
were against any reservations what-
ever, and who have sall that the allies
would not accept them. It was pointed
out that Britain, the principal asso-
ciate of the United States in the war
expressed through Grey a willingness
to accept many of the reservations
hich have been proposed.
The former ambassador's letter
represents the official policy of Great
Britain towards American ratification
it is understood here. While in Wash-
tngton he consulted with many sena-
tors and "sized up" the sitttion at
first hand, went home and reported to
his government and shortly thereafter
wrote his letter to the London Times.

RAILROADS COST
U, S, $700,000,000
Washtngton.Operation of the rail-
roads, Pullman lines, express com-
panies and waterways, unified under
federal control, has cost the nation
approximately $700,000,000, according
to official calculation, since they were
taken over two years ago.
Figures made public by the railroad
administration revealed a net loss of
$594,200,000 from railroad opcrath)n
alone in the two years. Statistics,
gathered from official sources as to
operating costs of the Pulhnan lines
and waterways and express companies
while operated by the government
show the addition of $100,000,000 to
the transportation costs.
Heavy losses of November and De-
cember are charged to the coal strike,
in a statement by the railroad adminis-
tration. A deficit of $111,500,000 was
shown for those two months.
Much of the loss during 1919 should
be charged to the first six months of
the year, according to the official axe
flanatlon.
The stamment shows that of a loss
of $349,200,000 for the 12 months,
$228,700,000 came during the first six
months wken there was "a prolonged
slump in freight business following
the signing of the armistice." It adds
that "if the rate increase which went
into effect in June 1918 had become
effective the previous January, the
loss for the two years wSuld probably
not have exceeded $104,000,000."

BOLSHEVISTS USE
RED CROSS PASSES
London.Bolshevist agents entrust.
ed with messages regarding sensation-
al widespread red plans have been for
a considerable time traveling between
Berlin and soviet Russia on false cre-
dentials, it is stated in official quarters.
The credentials they carried are said to
have described them as delegates of
the American Red Cross mission in
Berlin to conduct investigations re-
garding the exchange of German
prisoners from Russia.
These couriers, it appears, were
carrying dispatches between Moscow
and bolshevist organizations in other
countries, including the German Spar-
tactsts and the Swiss communists.
Lithuanian authorities discovered
the illicit traveling after Lithuania's
borders had been crossed many times,
and a number of arrests followed.
Not all the couriers were provided
with American papers, - but such
forged credentials were found on sev-
eral of the prisoners.

]TREASURY TO REDUCE
DEPOSITORY LIST
Washington.--Drastic reduction in
the number of natiinal banks designat-
ed as government depositories is being
made by the treasury department with
the result that less than 400 of 1341
such institutions holding federal funds
on June 30, 1919, are expected to escape
the pruning knife.
Chang,s in tile government's finan-
(,ial situation, brought al)out by war's
fiscal operations, it w'ls said officially,
have made it necessary to abolish
hundreds of the depositories and revise
the plan for distribution of government
monies among banks employed since
prior to 1912.
Practically half of the banks to be
deprived of government balances al-
ready have been eliminated from tire
rolls and outstanding balances thus
have been reduced from $52,000,000 to
$27,000,000.
With the establishment of the fed-
eral reserve banks and branches, gov-
!ernment payments have been made
;more and more through them and thus
abolishment of the national bank de-
positories represents a furth'er lean-
ing of the treasury on the reserve
banks in carrying on the nation's busi-
ness.
