This action was fore casted today when 1t became known that Chairman Hurley. of the ship ping board, had requested the de- partment of commerce to report the exact location of these vessels. as well as the number of vessels, their approximate tonnage and what they are capable of doing.
 Secretary Redheld replied imme- diately that there were 175 sailing vessels with a total capacity of 425,. 900 tons within or adjacent to Am erican territorial waters. and all of these were available any time they might be called for.
 It is believed that these vessels will be taken of their regular runs as far as Is practicable and used in coastwise shipping in order to release steam vessels for transatlantic ser. vice. The government Is expected to. commander the ships at any time now.
 The government is calling for ships for the transatlantic trade every day, and has an insufficient supply of vessels to meet the demands that are being made at this time. The tonnage thus released for overseas steam vessels for transatlantic er- shipping question.

 MONEY MISSING:
 NO CLUE FOUND
Associated Press1

CAMP FUNSTON, Jan. l4.-The officers who are here Investigating the camp bank robbery which occur red last Friday night, when four men were killed by Captain Whist Ter, who later committed suicide and whose body was identified as that of the lone robber, are of the opini- on that Whistler had an accomplice who was not seen by Kearney Wor- nall, the lone survivor of the attack.
 Until the bank officials have an op- portunity to thoroughly examine the books of the institution. 1t will be practically impossible to determine the amount of money taken by Whist Ter. Neither is it known what dis position the robber made of the money.
 The officers stated this morning that at least one bundle of currency containing $47,000 was taken from the bank, and 1t Is thought that $75,000 was secured. No trace of this money can be found, but it is known that Whistler had no oppor- tunity to leave the camp after the crime was committed. For this req. son the officials believe that at least one accomplice was involved in the deed with Whistler, and that the money was turned over to him for disposal after Whistler saw that he had been recognized
 Kearney Wornall, the wounded cashier of the robbed bank. is still alive at the camp hospital. but 1t Is not believed that he can possibly re- cover, as several terrible wounds were inflicted on him with the hand axe used by the robber.

Hooty the Owl Discovers
What Is Going On.

To-whoo, To-whoo! To-whoo-whoo-
What may a hungry fellow do?
So said Hooty the Owl as he watt

out from the Purple Hills. 1t was
lust the hour when Hooty always Is

morning. and then it had been mere

Hooty had slept in the top Of his Ia
yorite tree in the lonesomest part OF
the Green Forest. Now he was wide
awake and waiting only for Mr.. Sun
to go to bed, taking with him his
children, the Jolly Little Sunbeams.
You see, Hooty the Owl does not like
them. They try to blind him. They
never succeed, for. though many peo-
pie don't think so, Hooty can see very
well indeed in daytime. but the dusk
is easier on his big eyes. and 80 he
waits until then to do his hunting.
Now, one of the first places Hooty
visits every night is the Smiling Pool
,Hooty always has taken great inter-
est in all that goes on in the Smiling
Pool. Had he mind to. Hooty could

pie who live there. At least they were
strange to all but Hooty. The truth
is. in or around the Smiling Pool
Hooty has found many a good din
ner.
In his own peculiar way Hooty is
clever. He is very clever indeed.
You know how he flies without max
ing a sound, for all the world like a
drifting shadow. But with all his
cleverness Hooty never had been able
to catch Jerry Muskrat. He had tried
times enough, goodness knows. Ever
since Jerry was big enough to leave
his mother, and even before. Hooty
had tried and tried to catch Jerry.
At first it was because Jerry was
young and tender. Now it was be-
cause he was SO big and would make
such a satisfying dinner.
AS he waited for the coming of
the Black Shadows Hooty was think

was he had seen him so seldom dur
ing the past summer. The reason was
that having no house in the Smiling
Pool Jerry had lived in his castle in
the bank of the Laughing Brook
Hooty had not known this.
At last it was dark enough to suit
him and on silent wings Hooty sailed
out from the Green Forest straight
for the Smiling Pool. AS he drew near
he saw right away that the water
was quite muddy and that it was the
muddiest near certain place be-
yond the Big Rock. Hooty was inter-
ested. He turned so as to sail over
the Big Rock and then saw that
something was going on underneath
For just an instant ,Jerry's head ap-
peared. That was enough. Hooty un-
derstood. Chuclling softly, Hooty
turned back toward the Green For

chuckled: q. know what's going on.

the fellow who wants to be around.
Just let him once forget when I am
about and he will have no more use

from the Smiling Pool for a few
nights. 1t won't do to have him see
