EXAMINATION FOR
 U. s. COAST GUARD

The U. s. Coast Guard announces a competitive examination, commenc- ing July 12, 1920, for appointment of cadets and cadet engineers, which is an exceptional opportunity for young men of the right caliber to complete their education and receive special training at government ex- pense and to become commissioned officers in the U. S. Coast Guard, one of the military services of the United States.
 Age limits for appointment as ca det, are IS to 24 years; and for ap- pointment as cadet engineer 90 to 25 years
 Cadets and cadet engineers are trained to become commissioned of fIcers of the Coast Guard at the Coast Guard Academy at New London, Conn. Each summer the cadets are taken on extended practice cruises. which have included visits to ports in Nova Scotia, West Indies, the Ca nal Zone, and when conditions per mitted, European ports. (The cruise this year extends to the channel ports of France and England.)
 Cadets receive the same pay and allowances as midshipmen in the Navy ($6eO per annum and one ra-
 
 ceive SIS per month and one ration per day.
 Upon graduation after three years
 at the Academy, a cadet is commis-
 stoned by the president as a third
 lieutenant in the Coast Guard. A
 cadet engineer, upon graduation, af- ter one year at the Academy, is com
 missioned by the President as 6. third lieutenant of engineers in the Coast Guard. Commissioned officers of the Coast Guard rank with officers of the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps, and

Referring to Sims testimony that the first troop convoy, sent over in June, 1917, was not attacked by sub marines and that there was no sub marine wIEf1zn 300 nnsles of the place where the attacf1s were said to have occurred, the naval secretary pre- scented messages from Admiral Sims giving accounts of such attacks. The
 first of these messages Was dated
 June 30, 1917, and said:

 ''On the second day. Judy 1, 1917. '' l MT. Daniels said Admiral Sims sent this ca:biegram:
 Tt is practically certain that the ! enemy knew position of the first ren
 dezvous and accordingly sent a sa1b-
 marine to intercept before juncture

 1 The witness also presented reports
 from Admiral Gleaves regarding the | attack and from the French genera, | | marines in the vicinity of the convoy l Sims various attempts to discredi | the submarine attacks reported b5 l Admiral Gleaves and the other off,

 MT. Daniels aso testified that Ad

 that the ship should be operated t.

RESERVE
 ACT SAVED U. s.

Washington, May 1s-That the first six months of the war would have bankrupted the United States in credit and money had it not been for the financial policy inaugurated under the Federal Reserve act and supplement tary legislation, is asserted by Senator King of Utah.
 Replying to incidental criticisms of the currency law by Senator McCum- Der during a Senate debate Senator King showed that one of the first things attempted by the Democratic party when it came into power was the enactment of currency Legislation which had been lacking under Re publican leadership. The Federal Re serve act, he said, had stood the test of both peace and war. and the coun- try's finances are now stabilized as they never have been in history
 Has the Senator advocated it's re- peal or modification ?" asked Senator King. ''I do not recall that he or any other Republican has seriously at tackled the Federal Reserve act or has offered amendments of a vital or inn portant character to that great and constructive measure. I have won dered what would have been the re- suit if the Federal Reserve act had not been upon the statute books and if we had had on the statute books only the financial Legislation that we found there when the Democratic party came into power underline first administration Of Woodrow Wilson Saved From Bankruptcy ttWhy, if it had not been for the financial policies of the Democratic party which have been crystahzed into law under the splendid leader ship of Woodrow Wilson, our country
 would have been bankrupt, so far as
 credit and money were concerned within the first six months of the war.''
 Senator King reviewed the history | of financial legislation, the made | quacy of the temporary measure
 known as the Aldric1-Vreeland bil and the failure of the Senate under l the leadership of Senator Aldrich tc l enact omprehensive currency 1egis
 lation that would meet every condi l ton, and called attention to the mum
 Der of panics under the old fiscal pol 1 icy fastened upon the country by thu 1 Republican party. Concluding, Sen ator King challenged the Republican | to insert a plank in their Chicag' | platform calling for the repeal of tn Federal Reserve act. declaring h. | would delight to see sdch an issu' presented to the people.

 Promises have been made that Gen eral Averesco will establish order in i the country, regulate the railways, demobilize the army, send the soldiers i back to the farms and eliminate dis i honest officials who are said to have enormously increased in number since l the beginning of the war.
 | It is charged that political combina- tions have been made against him tc prevent him from carrying out hi: projects and that unless the new parliament supports his program ht will be unable to put his reforms into
 effect
 One of the parties opposing Genera Averesoo is the Nationalists whose opponents call them Bo3sheviSts anc Communists. Dr. Vaida, premier O. the recently deposed ministry, is { member of this party. Workingmen'! unions of all the large industrial citie
 are said to be in sympathy with tn
 Natpnaiists in opposing Genera Averesco. These unions have de iclared their adhesion to the Third In lternationalle of Moscow.

'SBOBBING" HAIR CRAZE COMES TO
 END IN LONDON

London, May 13-The fashion of cutting women's hair short is waning and scores of short rt-haired women are searching West End hairdressing shops for locks with which to replace those of which they were shorn few months ago when the "bobbing'' craze was at its height. This has created an abnormal demand for hair of all coIors. Possessors of rich auburn or pure white locks Of suitable length can obtain SIP or $15 by submitting to the "bobbing'' operation.
 There is some irony in the fact that many London women who paid five or six shilIings a few months ago to have their hair '+bobbed' and left the tresses with the hairdresser, not knowing they might have received money for them, are now spending anxious hours in other shops in an often futile matching up'' endeavor.
