TRANSPORT PoWHATAN HAS
 BEEN TONED INTO HALIFAX

Halifax, Jan. 27.-The disabled United States army transport Pow hatan was lowed into Halifax harbor at 7.30 this evening Captain Randall, her commander, reported that with the exception of three men slightly i'll, all was well on board.
 The safe arrival of the Powhatan with her crew of 150 men, ends a ten day battle with incessant storms un- der extreme conditions of hardship, which opened on January IS when the distressed vessel, then about 600 miles from land, sent out wireless ap- peals for aid. She then had on board 271 passengers, including women and children, who passed through much suffering for five days before weather conditions permitted their transfer at night to the transport Northern Pa ciflc.. The passengers arrived safely in New York fast Saturday.
 The first radio said that the PoWha- tan was leaking, her fire room flooded and the vessel was being buffeted by a stin northeaste1sy gale. With her fires gone and the supply of heat and light cut oH, every additional radio call for assistance spurred rescuing vessels to renewed efforts. The White Star liner Cedric picked up the ' racing to the spot, The heavy sea which tossed the transport about however made the Cedric's aid of lit tie value. The shipping board steam ship Western Comet followed the Ce- dric close by, but this vessel also was helpless to assist. Both stood by awaiting favorable opportunities tc take off the Powhatan's passengers only to be baked by the persistent gale. As the days passed, the fleet ot rescuing. craft grew, but as each fast ened line to the transport and start ed to tow, the turbulent ocean snap ped the thick hawsers, like 'lanyards and the helpless ship was again left tc the mercy of the waves.
 Last Thursday the gale moderated and the Northern Pacific took off al the passengers, without accident, al. though the transfer involved the risl and danger Of such an undertaking a night

NEW LOW LEVELS FOR
 FOR FOREIGN EXCHANGE

New York, Jan. 21.-Another coilapse or more sweeping dimensions attended itcal dealings in foreign exchange to- day. Rates on all the important En- ropeet- countries sagged to new levels or discount, carrying along remit tances to the Scandinavian centers. heretofore immune
 Reasons other than those already advanced were lacking to explain the adverse movement. It was pointed out, however, that the reaction had galhed further impetus from the in- ability of exporters to finance their snlpihents from this country because CT the rigid attitude maintained by the federal reserve board. In eonnec- ton with the policy of the central bank to eliminate "unessential loans'' 1t was assumed that banks in this country had been advised to curtail credits involved in foreign purchases.
 This. it was stated, did not apply t3 such credits as were made for prr- poses of relief or succor to the peoples Of devastated Europe, but rather as a measure to minimize speculation in exports
 Today's low rate of s5.55. in sterling exchange against the part of s4.S6 5-S represented discount of 37 per cent. The low Paris rate of 1902 francs to the American dollar implied a discount of so per cent. Belgian francs at 1889 weer at a discount of 63 per. cent. and Italian lire at 15.14 were almost 70 per cent. under par.

 Today's report. which shows rapid recovery in December operations, was up to general expectations and exceed ed estimates made in some quarters. On the basis of the return. earnings applicable to the common stock amounted to $2.27 for the quarter compared with ss45 in the preceding quarter. Regular dividends of 1 3-4 per cent. and ] 1-4 per cent. on the preferred and common shares, respec- lively. were declared. There was nc extra dividend.
 Chairman Ebert H. Gary declined to zmplify the financial statement in any way. nor would he discuss general trade conditions. It is believed. how ever. that the current month will dis close another large increase in thrilled orders.

Fletcher Resigns as
 Minister to Mexico
Believes Efforts to Bring Car ranza Government Into Ac- cord With U. s. Govern ment Are Futile.

Washington, Jan. 27-(By The A. P.) Henry P Fletcher has resigned as United States amba ssador to Mex ico to take effect in the course of the next few weeks.
 MT. Fletcher, his friends say. was convinced that continuation of the efforts he mas made during the last four years to bring the Carranza gov ernment into accord with the United States government on the many irri- tating issues which have arisen wonld be futile. He terminates eighteen years ot service in the diplomatic branch of the government without any particular Eians for his own future. The ambassadors activity in the presentation of the Amei iean de- mands have made it certain that he could not return to his post with ben eft to either government.
 State depar ement officials tonight did not offer any confirmation Of the reported resignation and Mir. Flet- cher, himself, IS absel- fr'nn Wash ington
 MT. Fletcher was appointed ann bassador to Mexico in February, 1916, but did not go to Mexico City until the February of the following year, hay ing come to the United States from Chile where he was the American ambassador, for a long series of con ferences.
 The relations between the United States and Mexico were quite critical at the time MT. Fletcher reached Mexico City. Little more thau two months after his arrival he was hissod in the Mexican chanlber of deputies when he attended .he opening eession.
 Ambassador F4a: cher returned from Mexico a year ago and the i,ffa:rs ot the embassy there vince that time have been conducted by George T. Summerlin as charge affaires.

ONLY PTS EXTREMISTS
 HELD AT ELLIS ISLAND

New York, Jan 27-Of the 52S ex- t-emists sent to Ellis Island to await deportation proceedings after their arrest in federal raids on Communist quarters here a month ago, only 275 are still held there, it was announced today. The otaers are out on bail. An average of six a day are released on bail.
 There were said to be jus. sixty three perfect eases" on the island ready for actual deportation. Of these 43 were arrested in Detroit and 2G were 'lsft-oyers" from the Soviet Ark" Buford which recently dellv- cred 249 radicals in Finland for ras- sage through to Russia
 Most of the extremists released on bail expect to remain at liberty their attorneys stated today. They based their belief on reports that the immigration authorities possess no proof that their clients are members of the communist or communist labor parties.

TWO CHANGES IN CABINET;
 ANOTHER ONE TO COME

Washington, Jan 27.@Two more changes in President Wilson's cabinet were made today, and a third is ex- pected in the near future.
 David Franklin Houston of St Louis Mo, who has been secretary of agri- culture since the beginning of the Wilson administration was given the trea portfolio, and Edwin L. Mer edith of Des Moines, Iowa, was named to succeed him as head of the depart ment of agriculture
 Tne third cabinet change expected soon Is the appointment of a secretary of the interior to succeed Franklin K. Lane, who desires to retire to private life. MT. Lanes successor has not vet been selected and officials generally would not hazard a guess as to whom it would be.
 In selecting MT. Houston to succeed Carter Glass as secretary of the treas ury the president ran counter to all Suesses of administration officials, most of whom had expected Assistant Secretary Lefingwen to be given the office.
 In choosing Mir. Meredith to succeed MT. Houston, the president selected a practical farmer as well as a business man. MT. Meredith is the editor of
 Successful Farming and before es- tablishing that paper was publisher of the Farmers Tribune" He is presi- dent of the Associated Advertising
 clubs of the world, a director of the Chicago federal reserve bank, and was one of the excess profits advisers of
 the treasury department appointed in 1917.
 In a statement today at Miami, Fla,
 Mir. Meredith said one of his first un- dertakings as head of the agricultural department would be to work out some method of getting crops to market without too much lost motion He is expected in Washington within a day or two to take up his duties. Meantime MT. Houston will succeed Mir. Glass. who will take his seat in the senate to fill the unexpired term after serving as secretary of the treas 1 ury for a little more than a year When Secretary Lane passes out oi original offiicar family will remain Be sides Mir. Houston, they are: Secretary Daniels of the navy department, Sec l retary Wilson of the labor department | and Postmaster General Burleson. Mir. Wilson has had two secretaries of state-W. J.
