COAST GUARD CRUISING
REDUCED BY WIRELESS
Season Starts With 5000 Officers
and Men Prepared for
Emergency Duties.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 9.-More
than 5000 officers and men of the
, to some 20 stations distributed along
the coast from Maine to Alaska, have
their sea boots and oilskins out this
week for the beginning Of the an
nual cruising season. which is ordered
each year by the President of the
United States.
During the cruising season, which
lasts until April 1. upward of 100
sturdy ea-gOinS steel vessels. equip
ped to render any kind of aid to
ships in distress, will be ready to
depart from their stations on
moments notice for any point where
danger turks.
Changes Are Made.
Due to the widespread use of wire
less on ships of all classes, the last
few years have seen radical changes
in the Coast Guard cruising program
through the severe winter season.
Formerly it was the custom to send
months. allowing them to make port
only to replenish fuel and food sup
plies.
Now, however. the improved and
extended wireless communications
have eliminated much of the unneces-
sary cruising, and rendered the Coast
Guard cutters more efficient when in
constant touch with their shore sta
tions. During the stormy season, all
leaves are suspended, capacity stock
of fuel and food is aboard, and all
life-saving equipment is ready for
instant use.
The 270 stations along the 10000
miles of American coast also take on
new life in the winter months. The
personnel is brought up to a
maximum: several hours are devoted
to drill each day, and the beach pa
troll is augmented. report of the
Coast Guards activities for 1921
during the year which did not bring
ter. One day thirty-seven calls were
answered.
Many and Varied Duties.
The duties of the Coast Guard are
many and varied. Its most important
work, however, consists of rendering
assistance to vessels in distress, and
taking off the passengers and crews
where necessary; destroying or re-
moving derelictS and other dangers
to navigations; enforcing the laws
relating to quarantine and neutrality;
extending medical aid to American
vessels engaged in deep-sea fishing;
suppression of mutinies on merchant
vessels; protection of game and the
seal and other fisheries in Alaska, and
operating as a part of the Navy in
time Of war.
