by Coast Guard

within So hours off the south Jer-
sey coast, was towed into coast

boat CG-105 in command of Boats
vain C. L. Jordan last night The

vain r. E. Cash yesterday de-
tonated a mine sighted Is miles
southeast of Cape May by fisher

other mine since seen in that vi
cinity is the same which was
brought here last night.
Captain NJ. w. Rasmussen, SUI
perintendent of the fifth district,
has ordered thorough search of
Jersey coastal waters.
The incidents recalled the per-
sistent rumors during the war that
the waters off New Jersey and
New York harbor abounded with
German submarines. In the fall of
1917 a widely published story al
legged that Fort Hancock was
shelled by submarine. That re-
port was never officially denied.
Have Close Call
Twenty officers and coast guards
men narrowly escaped death late
last night when the mine broke
away from a derrick In mid-air as
II was being removed to shore in
Cape May harbor.
Commander Addison, other Off
GERS and members of the base,
who were watching the huge ex-
plosive being hoisted when one of
the gears stripped as it was dang
ling in the air. The commander
gave the signal for all to run. The
mine splashed into the water, but
failed to explode.
Boatswain Chester L. Jordon,
who was in charge of the coast
guard patrol boat that picked up
the mine, and the members of the
crew experienced considerable diff
ficulty bringing the mine to shore
as it snapped from its holding sew
eral times.
Commander Addison. after the
lucky escape, declared that further
disposition and examination of the
explosive will be made today when
the New York division officers of
the coast guard and Washington
officials are expected.

JOY IS AGAIN IN
 WALL ST. OFFICES
Business Little Affected and Advance Again Starts

New York, March OP) - Wall street and business circles were in a cheerful mood today.
 Wall streets joy came from a stop to the sensational declines in stocks of the last few days. Business was pleased because IL was little affected: because declines in stocks found trade more divorced from Wall street than had been the case pre- Viously when the market tumhled. Leaders in the business and banking worlds say that probably for the first time in the history Of stock market unhcavals they have been able to watch the rapid shift Of Sc curity values without fears Of con. sequent dangers to business in gen eral.

 The New York Times says:
 Tt was doubted by bankers and business men alike that the heavy stock market breaks of the last eight days would seriously affect business in general, despite the fact that the market is regarded by many persons as all accurate barometer of coming commercial events. It was thoroughly appreciated that the un- derlying reason for the decline was au unruly and speculative campaign which advanced many stocks beyond their actual worth, because of ru- mors Of mergers and stock dividends, and that the downward reaction of the last few days was a corrective measure rather than a forecast"
 The Herald Tribune says.
 "Behind this three day period of intensified interest, business and banking leaders see significance which entirely oycrshadoWs the magnihed importance of the days happenings They see the event as vivid illustration of tho fact that business has shaken off the letters which, imaginary in great part as they undoubtedly were, nevertheless bound the nations industry to the yagaries Of the street."
