GERMANY SEARCHING
 FOR MISSING MARKS
By Assoclated Press

Washington. November 3.-Some- body in Germany is holding out be- tween 500.0O0.000 and 100000, 900 marks on the government. according to recent reports on the German financial conditions received here in official circles.
 There have been. according to some estimates. as many as 60,o00, 900. 900 marks bought and sold speculatively, It was explained. but when the Ger man government went looking for funds with which to make it's repara- tions payments between 100000 and 800. 900. .000 marks of this amount could not be accounted for. Search for the missing marks, it was said, brought to light only about 100.. 900, 900, so the search is being con tinued.
 The explanation of the vanishing German money was believed to be ID balances set up in foreign banks by Germans who had sold marks when speculation was rife, and in storef of foreign money hoarded in tho homes of thrifty citizens of that rec public

. HOOVER IS MAKING
 COAL STOCK SURVEY
By Associated Press

" " dsHlHS lOH, 4>ofcinDcI o.--A sur f sy of the stocks of coal on hand Throughout the country has been be- Fun by the commerce department,
 Secretary Hoover announced today. Similar surveys, he said, would be made every 50 days. It was believed. In view of the approaching biannual discussion of wages by miners and Operators, it was "vital' that the 'country should know the amount of koal 1t had above ground. It was shoped, he added, to complete the first fsurvey and publish a preliminary re- Bort within 30 days.
 ,h The survey, Mir. Hoover continued. Was being conducted by means of
 Iuestionnaires sent to many consum- \ Hrs of bituminous coal inquiring as $o their stocks on November 1.
 Soft coal production up to October
 1,' he said, was 112, ,000, 900 tons be- )iind last year and from 75,000, 900 to
 P0,000.000 tons below normal The
 decrease is in part to be expected Ibecause of decline in consumption Efnd in exports and 1t does not nec- #ssarily mean that consumers are
 nwisely burning up their reserves. Nut if there is any possibility that *fhe above ground reserves are below Xhe safety lines, the best way to set Eie the point, the government thinks, Es to take account of stocks and lay E the facts before the public.'.

 TOUR OF THE FAR EAST
By Associated Press

Boston. November S.-W. Cameron Forbes. former governor general of the Philippines. returned here today from the trip which he made to the far east with Mai. Gen. Leonard Wood to study conditions at the re- quest of President Harding. Mir. Forbes said he would go to Washing ton November IS to present hls re- port to the resident and to Secretary of War Weeks.
 We covered the islands more thor oughly than ever had been done be. fore" he said. We gave the people a chance to enter theG complaints and to tell us of conditions that they desired to have remedied. The Fili- pinos were very helpful. They show ed confidence both in the members of the mission and in the United States government. We found excel lent public order and conditions of profound peace"
 "one of the principal things we found." said Mir. Forbes. was that justice was not satisfactorily admin istered The delay in getting de- cisions is very bad; there are a va riety of causes-not enough judges and not always the right kind of judges.
 We found something like 50, pending cases, including those in the municipal courts. We shall have to do something drastic to meet that situation"

There were very few eases of actual disorder, and in almost every instance when such cases were investigated was found that the man responsible was not a legion member, but some rowdy We found the real veterans were the first to help the police deal with these cases effec- lively"
