PEACE INCREASES USE OF GASOLINE ABROAD More Fuel Needed by U. S. Motor Trucks. The overseas demand for motor transport grade of gasoline haa increased rather than diminished since the signing of the armistice, it was announced last night by the United States Fuel Administration. The motor transport grade and the two aviation qualities are the chief items in the overseas demands upon American sources of supply.

The aviation demands are greatly decreaaed. These overseas requirements, as well as domestic needs, will have a considerable bearing on any decision as to whether it Is desirable to fix a standard of quality for domestic motor gasoline. The question of a domestic standard has been under consideration for some time. The fixing of a domestic motor standard vill depend, it was stated, upon the question dt ability to supply and the consideration of price of all petroleum which would be directly affected by an alteration of gasoline grades.

U. S. MUST ASSIST ALL SOLDIERS ON FARMS Government Must Legislate to Make Work Profitable. "You are no real friend of the soldier if you provide him with land from which he cannot support himself." Charles A.

"If by Jugglinx the market, by recstablishment of speculation by legsl prosecution for those who organize for the purpose of getting cost of production, you make it unprofitable for the trained farmer to live on the farm, you cannot expect the soldier to take the land you Cor the soldier is becoming a watchword of the politician." said Mr. Lyman. "Those who advocate this policy should remember that the returned soldier will not go on the land to be a serf, a peasant or a slave to the land.

They must remember that the returned soldier must make a living from the land. "Any land program must have with it a clear plan of organizing the industrial industry of the country so that the soldier can make a living The soldier is no fool; he will go to the city if he cannot do so."
