committee met again today but only to consider questions of more or less routine character. It is the belief in some quarters that detailed de- lineation of the administration na- val policies may soon be forthcom- ing to clear the atmosphere of many of its present uncertainties.
 While no definite information from official sources has been available as to the form of the general board S report there is no doubt in naval circles that it will hold battleships to be the main element of naval pow CT. It is held equally certain, how ever, that the board will lay great stress upon the auxiliary value not alone of aircraft and submarines, but also Of modern cruisers.
 It is understood also that by mak- ing public a summary of the report the administration is considering partial removal of the seal Of se- crecy which surrounded the recent tests with the battleship Washing ton.
 There have been intimations that the navy department wants funds for mOdernization work amounting in all to more than S2O.OO0,Qo0 and that naval opinion favors also the laying down at once of some, if not all, of the eight cruisers already au- thorized but for which no appropri- ations have been made.
 Secretary Wilbur disclosed to the committee that the general board had drafted a plan for complete re- placement of the navy within twen- ty years with all arms on the 5-5-S ratio. The plan was shown to the committee, but was not placed in the

 Admiral Eberle said the American navy was now far inferior to the British in aircraft carriers and still would be 10000 tons behind when the two carriers now under conver- sion are completed.
 The navy has 14S airplanes, he said, which are not enough 10 equip the entire fleet. He asked for S4O,- 1000 for aircraft construction and replacement.
 The admiral estimated that with the light cruisers now building in Great Britain and Japan, it would take 22 cruisers to bring the Ameri- can navy up to a 5-5-S ratio in that class even if no new British or Jap anese ships are laid down.
 Present status
 During consideration of the regu- lar naval appropriation bill by the senate committee it was disclosed today, navy officers testified that while the United States is behind the arms treaty ratio on capital ships aircraft carriers and cruisers, the American navy IS substantially ahead in destroyers and submarines.
 The present respective standing Of Great Britain, the United States and Japan was given by Admiral Eberle' chief of naval operations as follows;

 BERLIN, Jan. 26.-As if in sharp contrast to the ultra modern ten dencies recently observable in the first-nights at the Staatsooper, the Deutsches Opernhaus, another of Ber- lin's four operatic institutions, has gone back to the fifties of the past century for a first-night, by produc- ing Adolphe Adams comic opera, eff l.

Trade Between Bulgaria
 and Greece Grows, Claim

ATHENS, Jan. 26.-Greece is fast becoming Bulgaria's chief medium of communication with most of her for eign markets for grain, tobacco, hides and farm products, and as result the trade between the two countries is steadily increasing.
 In 1919, the first year of record, the Bulgarian exports amounted to 7,392,736 drachmae, while her inn ports were valued at 3,313, ,49O drach- mae. Last year Greece's exports amounted to 40,00O,O0O drachmae, while Bulgaria's shipments to Greece amounted to 1O7, 7,O00,o0O drachmae.
 The principal item of Greek export is olive oil, for which Bulgaria is al- most wholly dependent upon Greece. However, Italy is making some in roads into the Bulgarian market.

Ebb of Golden Tide May Mean Sounder
 Money in Europe
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Jan. 27-Year-end figures make available today clear CT picture of whether Europe's mort gagged pre-war gold on deposit here has definitely begun to go back home, and if so, to what extent. A remarkable outbound movement of the yellow metal amounting to $40,242,000 in the first 27 days of December produced to first surplus of exports over imports in a single month since August, 1920 More gold went out during this short pe- riod than during the entire twelve months of either 1923, 1922 or 1921. It's impetus obviously developed un- der the cumulative pressure of for eign loans amounting to $1,623, ,696,- 900, which American banks turned back into depleted but premium pay ing reservoirs abroad in 1924, some $350,000,000 of which were arranged in the last three months. Whether foreign loans in the new year of 1925 will take up at the eXtraordi- nary rate the old year left off is ex- pected to determine whether this new export phase in gold is to be continu- |ous and permanent.
 Some bankers would reserve de cision and, for the time being, av- craze the closing months spirited ebb tide with the 12 months as a whole. Comparison of 1924 and 1923, with fig ures for 1924 as yet approximate, reveals:
 1924-Exports, $62,226,47S; Imports, $315,6S4,387; balance, s253, 457, 1909.
 1923-Exports, $2S,643,4 AT; imports, s322,715,S12; balance, s294,072,395. Thus, it is seen that where the United States received across the international counter in 1928 eleven times as much monetary gold as it Ipaid out, in the year 1924 it receiv- ed only five times as much. Export shipments for the past F months are seen to have doubled Net im- ports fell off one-seyenth.
 Meanwhile the United States still holds two-fifths of all the $10,000 000,- 900 in monetary gold in the world. This stock, according to some fnan- cial observers, is twice as much as is required to support the credit and currency facilities adequate to trade needs. They would like to see gold continue to ebb in proportions suffi- cient 10 take up the slack.
 They further welcome a growing gold demand abroad as an earnest Of

performance rather than dispas- sionate inquiry into the merits of the case. This is bound to lessen respect for the law and it's instru- mentalitieS.
 Akin to this is the creation of an erroneous conception of the true working of the judicial machinery Frequently there results the formu- lation of a public opinion upon mat ter to be judged by the jury alone And of course there is the catering to the public appetite for scandal, with the consequent detriment to the public welfare.
 "It is believed that cO-ordinated effort on the part of the press and the bar will in time bring about the desired development in this import ant field of reporting, and that uni form rule which will place all news papers upon the same basis in this respect will be welcomed by them as by the bar.
 "The Chicago Bar Association, through it's Committee on Relations of the Press to Judicial Proceedings and it's Committee on the Judiciary, now has this work in hand, and, as a first concrete measure, will di- rect it's efforts against the pubiica- tion of photographs of courtroom scenes. It is planned to recommend to the courts the adoption of a rule prohibiting absolutely the taking of any photographs in court. Such a rule would eliminate at once one of the most potent means of engaging

LAWYERS ASK PRESS
 TO REPORT TRIALS
 WITH DUE SOLEMNITY

CHICAGO, H., Jan. 3C.-As means of eliminating the formulation of public opinion upon matters to be judged by juries alone, under CO., ordination of press and bar, commit. tees of the Chicago Bar Association are planning to recommend two new steps with relation to publicity for courtroom trials These are the pro- hibition of the taking of photographs of courtroom scenes, and measures to ensure reporting of judicial proceed ings as solemn trials rather than theatricals.
 The Chicago Bar Association Rec ord in it's last issue says:
 "The present-day practice in re- porting sensational lawsuits in the public press is typifed by the pub lication of photographs of courtroom scenes. The attendant stories stress in like fashion those features which excite popular attention. This sat ing of the public appetite for the un- usual not only brings the undesir- able results incident to all scandal, but is peculiarly harmful in its ef- feet in its effect upon the admins tration of justice.
 Thus we find the presentation of a trial in the light of a theatrical

increasing use and money sentiment among other nations. This would bring them out of the wilderness of paper money and depreciated cur rencies and back under the gold stan dard. It would also save the United States from the threat of any gener- al repudiation of gold, of which it holds the greatest single portion. Were the world at large to turn it's back upon gold as a basis for none tary systems it would leave the Unit ed States with it's gold stock like a white elephant on its hands; stock with lessened use and cores pondingly lessened value.

He travelled extensively in the Ma junga region, and brought back nu- merous samples from the carbonifer- ous lands. The coal beds do not ap- pear to be as important as those of Indo- China, and it would appear that the bituminous sands and petroleum fields of Madagascar are much more important than the coal beds.

Shares Display Buoyant Tone
in Early Trading
By international Ncwa Service.

NEW YORK, March 3.-Vigor-
Gus forward movements in prices
took place in the early trading
today in the railroad, motor and
oil stocks. With these three major
groups as leaders the market
plunged forward as soon as trading
was resumed today, many OF the
active stocks establishing higher
price records at the opening. High
priced industrial stocks took their
place In the forefront Of the adj
vance, American Can selling above
1873 and Cast Iron Pipe up 10 points
to 241, was only 8 points below
its record high.
The major influence behind the
buoyant move in the stock market
was generally felt in Wall street
and elsewhere at the approaching
close Of the short session OF Con
period free from political pickering
and the consideration Of legislative
attacks on business. Buying orders
for the principal railroad, motor
and oil stocks surged into the mar
ket and transactions in the frs
hour were very heavy. Uneasiness
in the st. Paul situation, as evil
denced by the heavy selling Of its
stocks and bonds at steadily do
clining prices was the most pro.
nounced unsettling factor in the
market.
The Pan-American stocks con-
tinued active. The stock sold
above "a on enormously heavy
transactions.
Buying of the oils was discrim-
mating and only g. few stocks were
strong enough to show any adj
vance. The list included Simms.
