Wredage Tells Fate
OF So German Cadets
In Windjammer
FIotsom Found on Beach
Identified as Belonging
To Lost Selling Ship
BY CARLOS J. VIDELA.

NEW YORK, Nov. 4 (NA.NA).-
The mystery surrounding the disap-
pearance Of the full-rigged German
schoolship Admiral Karpfanger,
which vanished in the South Pacific
during a voyage from Australia to
England some time after February
8, seems to have been cleared by
reports just received in New York.
According to information coming
from TERRA Del Fuego, in the south
ern tip Of South America, near
Antarctica, and quoted by the
Argentine newspaper, La Prensa,
f1otsam identified as belonging to
the Inflated ship has been found
near the False Cape Horn, in whose
neighborhood the Admiral Karp-
fanger is supposed to have foundered.
This windjammer, formerly owned
by Capt. Erickson of the Aland
Islands, the last of the big sailing
ship owners, was purchased from
him by the Hamburg American Line
to be used as a training ship for
its future mates and masters. Before
that. the Admiral Karpfanger had
flown the Belgian flag as the
L'Avenir Of Antwerp. She was a
ship Of 2,754 tons. The Germans
named her for an admiral who went
down with his ship in the Bay of
Biscay in 1888.

sailed down the gulf, the last body

sails were straining under the
bowling gales of the South Pacific.
That was the last ever seen Of her.

was entered in the overdue" list at

OF ordinary consumers Apparel purchases have
rl1n ahead Of last years, fact worthy Of more
than passing consideration.
The financial and investing world has been en-
couraged by the ready absorption of new, high
grade bond issues. OF course, the resiliency ex-
hibited on the Stock Exchange, following the
initial spectacular skyrocketing Of quotations,
has been heartening.
Railroads are moving more freight. Automo-
bile sales, which were expected to taper off,
have shown q modest measure of new vigor.
Steel output is perking up and manufacturers
look for substantial expansion in orders once the
confusion created by the reallocation Of "basing
points" has cleared up.
Dependence on Printing
TOO MUCH dependence probably is being
placed upon pump priming" to generate
general economic betterment. But it is reason
able to reckon that expanding Governmental ex.
penditures in many directions will have some
tonic effect-regardless of the longer-term con-
sequence of such artificallyinspired stimulation.
Although RFC lending to little business has
brought forth more complaints than compli-
ments, because Of the rigid requirements insisted
upon before loans are granted, another division
Of the Government is becoming distinctly con-
Structive factor. Home building, through Fed
eral aid is spreading and may become quite q
helpful factor
In some 500 cities where special selling cam
paigns have been launched, gratifying fruits
are being reaped. This suggests that, under ade-
quate encouragement. consumers can be coaxed
to buy. Certainly the rank and file of Ameri-
can individuals and families have such gigantic
savings deposits that the employment of any
substantial percentage could turn relative mac
tivity into notable activity.
