takes place In one night on board
a ship. The other scenes are
merely leading up to the main
story or show its elimination.

NEW YORK, June %. - One

sufficient to convince ever the most
confirmed optimist thai conditions

you would not see such an extreme
change within less than two weeks
of a drop from over five million
shares in a day to less than two
and one-half million shares a day.
The cause Of all this needs no dis
cussion because every one Is
familiar with it. We went too far
The pendulum was drawn too far to
the right and is swinging back to
the other extrene. The country,
however, is progressing for we see
dividends being declared regularly.
some new ones have been added to
the list, the railroad outlook has
been improved by recent confer
ences, steel mills are operating at
fair capacity. motor companies are
doing a good business, so all we
need is the correction in the stock
market, and the only way we car
get that is for while to continue
to liquidate stocks at favorable op-
portunities.

Mobile, Found Twice by
FIierS, Awaits Rescue
Expeditions.
Is STILL ARE MISSING
Aviator viii Attempt to
Land on Ice Near Camp
of Italia Chief.
BY ERIC BERNDSEN,
United Press Special Correspondent


KINGS BAY, June 23.-Sixteen
men today were sought in the Arctic
regions while rescue expeditions
rushed aid to six others caught in
the great icebound territory of the
North.
Umberto Mobile twice has been
found by rescue parties. Supplies
have been dropped to the point
where he and his five companions
are encamped. They have been re-
ceived.
But some place in the North are
the ten other members of the Italia
crew and the six members of Roland
Amundsen's relief expedition.
FIiers to Make Search
Majors Maddalena and Penzo,
Italian war aces, today will start
on relief expeditions in an attempt
to find the sixteen men. Maddalena
was the first man to locate General
Mobile and his little group of 1ve on
the floating ice island.
The two Italian fiiers will tour
over the south coast of Northeast
land in an attempt TO find the miss
ing men.
Meanwhile the Russian ice oreak-
er, Maligim, has been ordered to
change its course so that her search
will be over the south Northeastland
coast. 1t was considered highly
probable that Amundsen and his
party of northern voyagers might
have landed near the NortheaStland
coast line as they few north from
Tromsoe attempting to find the
Mobile party.
Smoke Fuses to Mobile
Maddalena and Penzo Friday few
to Mobiles position and managed
to drop racio batteries and smoke
fuses. In all recent messages the
Italian commander has said that
his radio batteries were low and he
has asked that relief be brought for
the batteries-the only method he
has in keeping in contact with civil
ization.
The smoke fuses will aid greatly
in the relief attempt It is hoped
that Mobile will send up the bombs
the minute he sights approaching
planes, thus. aiding the attempts to
locate the party.
The two Italian fiiers reported
they we're unable to find a trace of
the seven men, who were blown
away in the dirigible, the three men
who walked away from Mobiles en-
campment, or the six men of
Amundsen's party.
Drops Arms TO Party
The supply ship Citta Di Milano
reported that Commander Torn
berg, Swedish fiier, had flown over
the Mobile position and had re-
turned to Virgo Bay to equip his
plane with runners and attempt
and make a landing on ice near
the Mobile encampment for remov-
ing the stranded crew, probably one
man at time.
Tornberg dropped arms. rubber
floats and storage batteries to the
Mobile party when he few over.
