k0PeNtdl 10 iHG Cdiy NOFNcFt
PARIS, Dec. 27.-With the stress Of
the economic depression becoming
greater every day, with unemployment
increasing and with buyers strike
virtually in effect, it is anticipated
that Premier Poincare would instruct
the Bank of France to continue Its
operations in foreign exchange in an
effort to bolster the franc.
Whatever the government may feel
about the present value of the franc,
the public is apparently greatly wor-
ried.
Business SIumps.
The large stores, altho they have
offered a five per cent rebate, are
doing comparatively small business.
New Years is the great gift-giving
season in France, and an anti-gift So
ciety has been formed to check the ex-
change of gifts and conserve private
resources.
Government Puzzled.
Poincare and his cabinet is at a
loss to know what methods to take
to prevent what appears to be GER
tain economic crisis. One measure
he has taken has been to stop the
rise of the franc, which if too rapid
! would disturb the financial balance"
he government points out.
Sterilization of the franc is yet fal
in the distance, the government feels
md the confidence in the Poincare
government that was shown by It's
supporters, is rapidly waning.

United States Not in "Race."
There is a new high-speed race
of naval supremacy on between the
nations" says Butler, "and we are
not even in the race"
Fifty warships will be needed to
bring the United States to "its proper

are much more formidable than any
one would have imagined few years

Possibility of SmuggIers'
Boats Being Wrecked,

The Southern hurricane may be
great blow to the bootleg and rum.
running industry, in the opinion of
Coast Guard officials.
The number of launches in the
storm area formerly engaged in
smuggling activities of one kind or
another was placed by one official at
1000. Many of these are small boats,
not of sufficient size to have wealth
cred the storm, and are believed by
officials to have been destroyed. sunk,
blown inland and otherwise damaged.
On the other hand. the Govern
ment forces which had been used to
combat the bootleggers fortunately
proved of great assistance to the
stricken populace, and many of the
facilities were seaworthy, weathered
the storm and were among the first
available and the first to reach the
scene of disaster.
Concentration of Coast Guard ac-
tivities, however, from other sections
was continuing today, and it was es-
timated that a thousand men, four
destroyers, six cruising cutters and a
large number Of patrol boats would
be in action.

the destroyer force of the Coast
Guard, has been named by Rear Adj

Already some of the cutters and
small boats which We're stationed in
Southern ports have arrived on the
spot, and We're among the first Of the
United States forces to extend relief.
The Coast Guard cutter Saukee, sta
toned at Key West, proceeded direct
to Miami with provisions. doctors and
