Coast Guard Makes New Record During Fiscal Year O' Rescued 2,462 Persons From Peril and Examined 14,499 More Ships* Papers Than in Any One Year. Washington, Dec. 7.—Despite the innually Increasing ftgurcs loaded anto the United States guard through new legislation, it was able In the last fiscal year to establish a record In the work for which it was origi nally created—the protection of life rnd property on the high seas and prevention of smuggling. The annual report of the guard, made public to night, discloses that In the 12 months, “tiding last July 1, men from coast guard boats and stations rescued 2,462 persons from positions of peril ind boarded and examined the papers if 46,152 ships, 14,499 more than ever Inspected in any one year in history. There was never a day in the year [n which coast guardsmen did not perform some sort of service to ves sels and persons in distress, and the report adds, that assistance w’as af forded in as many as 44 cases in one lay. Much of the additional boarding ■esulted from the new service of the oast guard as an aid to prohibition enforcement. It has become necoR lary, the report says, to watch all ■es els more closely, to make more letailed inspections ot their cargoes i i nd to watch them farther out at sea 1 ilnee the guard's work has Included prohibition enforcement. Both offi dais of the guard, the report ex plains. have not found it necessary .o neglect any of their traditional lutles In order to give effective sup port to the prohib ton laws. Stem Kum Runners. The report, addressed to Secretary Mellon, says satisfactory progress uis been made in carrying out pre cisions of legislation granting addi ina) personnel and equipment to the •oast guard to be used In checking rum running.

Much attention was given by cut ter crews In the last year to oceanic conditions and considerable data re garded as highly important to navi gation has been gathered by cruising vessels. The international Ice patrol, managed and operated by the coast guard for 13 nations, was able to sup ply much of this data, which showed that during the year there was an un usual nbsence of fog and Ice In the northern steamer lanes. As a result of experience gained last year and In years previously the coast guard be lieves It will be able hereafter, If not handicapped by limited funds, to give adequate protection to trans-Atlantic shipping. Would Replace “Bear.” While the report contains no recom mendations, It calls to the attention of the secretary the need for replace ment of the veteran cutter, Bear, which last summer made its fiftieth voyage Into the Bering and north Pacific waters to carry food and mail to the ice bound natives of the north ern most communities of America. The Bear failed to get through. Its old hold would not stand the ramming of the Ice packs and Its commander turned tt hack when It was evident that to attempt to go further was dangerous. So the coast guard wants congress to appropriate $925,000 for construction of a new Bear to carry on the work. In connection with the work of the Ice patrol the log of the rutter Modoc shows that on April 19 It passed over the spot where 12 years before the Titanic went down with the most ap palling death list ofnny maritime «US aster.

Nev’^v A TrJ&\y Is Successful Progress in Bond Refunding Scheme Indicates Public Appreciates Value of Federal Securities. Oversubscription Is Large Washington, Deo. 7.—Satisfactory progress was reported by the treas ury today on the first stage of its gigantic fiscal operation which by De cember 1, 1929, will require the re tirement or tiie refunding, of $8,M4, 426,049. The first step in the big program was the refunding of the treasury notes of 1925, the Third Liberty 4 1-4 per cent bonds and treasury certificates maturing March 15 next, in connection with tiie offering an nounced last Monday of a new issue of 20 to 30-year 4 per rent bonds. As sistant Secretary Dewey said today that exchanges of the early maturing securities for tiie new iesue were be ing received in a way that assured success of the treasury's plan. It Is the intention of the treasury to issue amounts of the new long-term bonds to the full extent that maturi ties of the three issues named are tendered in payment, and subscrip tions for the new issue will lie re ceived. indefinitely for this purpose Cash subscriptions to the issue were closed Thursday night and the tras ury announced yesterday that it had decided to decline any cash subscrip tion in excess of $10,000. It will al lot in full all cash subscriptions up to $1,000 but only 65 per cent of each cash subscription from $1,000 to $10,. 000, with a minimum of $1,000 to any such purchaser. Wider Distribution, The treasury believes that, although the cash requirement necessary from the present offering of bonds Is only $200,000,000, It has accomplished a wider distribution of the securities than ever had been done in any fed eral issue before. Its decision to de cline All cash subscriptions above $10,000 has resulted in rejection of hundreds of subscriptions ranging from $10,000 to nearly $25,000,000 and complaint already has reached the treasury that many bankers have been unable to take care of their cus omers because the total sent into the federal reserve banks was above $10,000. Officials pointed to the success of the cash part of the bond issue und the Indicated satisfactory results of the exchange features of the offer ing as proof that the American putdic was now thoroughly schooled in the value of federal obligations as invest ment. They regard this condition as meaning that their problem in the field of refunding required in the next five years would lie materially easier to solve than would have been possi ble when the present fiscal policy of j the tyasury was adopted At tiie be j ginning of Mellon's administration, Knud Issues Converted. In the present phase of the big operation, the treasury is making a beginning on the refunding of the third Liberty loan 4't percent bonds. There were $2,978,776,250 of these out standing December I, end it Is the hope of the fiscal officers that a big chunk of them will he converted Into the new 20 to 30 year securities at this time. In addition to the third Tlbertys which are being refunded, the ex change privilege of the new issue permits the conversion of $400,299,000 of treasury 4 per cent certificates and treasury notes to the amount of $597,325,900, both of which mature next March 15. It was lielleved that most of the notes would be offered In exchange for the new securities, hut here, as in the case of the third Liberty's, official figures ns to sub scriptions already received were withheld. Upon the (Inal calculations of ex changes in the present operation will depend largely the form which the March financing will take. Secretary Mellon ha* announced that there will tie no further financing on March, when another tax Installment ns well as another Issue of certificate* of In dehtedness falls due. The last quar terly Installment of taxes, due Decem ber 15, together with the $200,000,000 lo iHsh realize,l from the current bond sale. Is expected by tiie treasury to meet its requirements until the next financing lakes place. Funeral Kites Held for Former Mayor Hpecial OUimtrli to The Omaha lu-e, Beatrice, Nob., Dec, 7.

Male Beauty, Unadorned, Features Fairy Tales Ball, New French Fete m Opera Balls in Paris Before War Were Conspicuous for Unclothed Feminine Element, but This 'l ear Mere Men Have Their Moments. By C. F. BERTEIXI, I nitrrs.il Smlre Staff t'orrespondent. Pails, Dec. 7.—The beauty of the male fm-m, unadorned, was one of the starting features of the “Fairy Tales hall” at the National opera, under the auspices of the French fetes committee. The opera balls before the war were always conspicuous for their luxurious and comfortable settings, but the unclothed element was in variably feminine only. This year the beads were worn by men. The fairy tales theme gave them plenty of latitude for the use of their imagination. Six Ataddlna were noticed at the ball, including the beautiful Ida Rubensteln with a jeweled lamp. “I can rub it all I like," said the famous actress, "but no genii ap jrear to waft me back to D'Annun zio's affection.” Several of the younger American set came as characters frojn the Arabian Nights, while Krnest High tower of Philadelphia impersonated Apollo. Another American resident of Paris, Basil Singer, came gorge ously unattlred as Achilles, with Helen of Troy on one arm and a< jeweled sword on the other. The “profession” started to nr rive at midnight, and in all there were more than 4,000 characters from Fontaine's. Grimm’s and Hans Anderson's tales, with a magnifi cent representation of the Thou sand and One Nights,* the lovely Jane Renouardt personating Schef erazada. The bail is evidence that there is considerable more vigor In this year's winter season than there has been since the war. The first Riviera style news ar rived by way of the dressmakers’ salons Friday, giving sweeping in dications of what Is to happen for the spring. * It can be definitely stated now that next spring and summer’s dresses will be much shorter than last year, possibly as much as three inches, bringing them back to the 1919 length. There will again be a greater abundance of printed materials, crepes, silks and chiffons. The line, however, will be entirely distinct from any since the war, or even before. While the waist will re main low and the slim silhoutte will remain, there will he nothing ► straight about the 1925 line. It will he a bewildering succession of frills, tucks, pleats and pabbiert. Permanency of Air Mail Sought New York Solon Has Bill to Prevent Postal Head From Halting Service. By rnlrmal SerHee. Washington, Dec. T.—Despite its splendid record, the United States air mail service is, technically, but a temporary organization, living a hand-to-mouth existence, and could be put out of business at a moment's no tice without the consent of congress. Representative F. H. I-aOuardla of New York, said in a statement today. UaOuardla is in charge of a bill, due for action in the house on Wednes day, which proposes to give the post master general definite statutory authority to transport the malls by airplane, just as he now has author ity by law to employ the railroads. “This may not seem important at first glance.” LaQuardia said, “but as a matter of fact it is vital. Unless that authority Is granted an unsym pathetic, postmaster general could stop the air mall at his will and pleasure. “Tha air mail eervle# needs this definite guarantee of permanency to remove forever the feeling of uncer tainty that now exists, 'The air mall is no longer a ven ture. The transcontinental service has justified itself. They are flying hv night with IF, per cent efficiency. We are developing first class avia tor* who will lie trained ami ready fur any call that may come for national defense, “This bill Is opposed by three groups—Hie uninformed, those with out vision and t lie railroads, who feel that development of air mail will cause them some loss of rev enue.” POLICE ON TRAIL OF SLAYER OF TWO .South Rend, Ind., Dee.

Herriot Averts Freneh Uprising Communists Aghast at Leader ship Assumed hy Russian Organizers. B.v BASIL D. WOOV. Cniveraal Service Staff Correspondent. Paris, Dec. T.—Another French revolution, poselbly one which would have been bloodier and more fright ful In its world consequences than that of 1732, la averted by the Iron, action last night of Premier Herriot In ordering a roundup of the com munist ringleaders and the distiand Ing of their propaganda schools. According to rumoi» current throughout the country, the commun Ists in France themselves are aghast at the rapidity with which the move ment has gathered headway and the manner In which It has been taken out of their hands since the recogni tion of Russia. The actual leadership has been taken out of the hands of Deputy Cachln and the other French communists, and put in charge of or ganizers brought from Russia. While the total membership of the communist party In France does not number rrmre than 4*1,000. It is pointed out that ]e«s than a quarter of that nutnlier were the originators of the coup which overthrew Kerensky and set up the soviet regime in Russia. Today, however, with the roundup continuing, many more arrests arc being reported, and In the course of the morning Premier Herriot acquired a firm grip on tlie situation. The premier's determination to stamp out bolshevism here Is believed to have been strengthened by conver rations with Foreign Secretary Austen Chamberlain of Kngland Thursday. Chamberlain showed the Freneh pre tnier reports of British secret serv ice agents, demonstrating that com munism has made giant atrblea among th, French working population lately.

Lar^e Increase in Im mi juration | in Last Two Years Annual Report to Secretary of Labor Shows Influx Has More Than Doubled. Since 1922. Washington, Dec. 7.—Immigration into the Unite-* Stitts has more than doubled since 1922, Vi* bureau of Im migration declared today, in its an nual report to the secretary of labor. The figure increased from 309,556 in 1922 to 522,919 In 1923 and 706,896 In 1924. The Increase was principally due, the report showed, to the greater number of Immigrants coming from Kuropean countries. Immigration from Turkey and southern and east ern Europe decreased from nearly 1,900,000 V 1914 to 150,000 In 1924. The principal Increases were shown as follows: Urom England. Scotland and Wales, from 25,313 In 1322 to 59.940 in 1924; Ireland. 10.579 to 17,111; Germany, 17,931 to 75,091; Scandinavian coun tries. 14.G25 to 35,577; British North American, 46,810 to 200,6*0, and Mexico, 19,551 to 89,336. Under the quota limit law, the re port stated, so-called “birds of pas sage'' have practically disapi>eared from the Immigration movement. “Per a long petiod prior (.a the world war,” the report said, “the number of aliens leaving the United States wa* fully one-third as great as the number admitted, but the exodus declined rapidly during the three years when the quota law was in operation, until In the last year only 76,789 aliens departed, compared with 706.896 admitted."
