Friendly Face
Look into the faces or these men
and see whether they appear
friendly, Captain farrell advises.
A friendly" face is an indication
that the money is genuine. How
ever, if it appears to be dull and
the expression ianguid, the note
probably is counterfeit. The detail
around the eyes is the hardest
part of the note for a counterfeiter
10 duplicate.
Captain FARRELL reports that the
last flood OF phoney bills in this
region occurred last Labor day.
About $500 in spurious $40 federal
reserve notes were passed in the
four Pacific northwest states,
mostly In Seattle.
Incidentally. Captain farrell
never has had counterfeiting
case in Alaska.
The last big case In this dis
trict was cleaned up about five
years ago. In February. 1888. 8
counterfeit $40 Federal Reserve
note showed up. Others like it soon
were discovered. An arrest was
made in April. During the sue
eeeding 10 months total of II
arrests were made in Washington.
Oregon and Montana The men
were charged with passing or at
tempting TO pass this note. The
last of these arrests was made IN
February. 1884 Sentences ranged
from two years to IL years.
Easily Detected
II developed that this gang had
manufactured S65.0o0 in these
notes before any attempt was
made TO pass them. During the
year up 10 the arrest of the last
man only $4,000 was passed.
This note was very poor piece

Foreign Registry
Is Only Hope,
Says U. 5. Lines
Must Transfer 8 Ships
Or Abandon Atlantic
Interests, 1t Says
BY the Associs ted Press.

By the Associf ted Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. II. - The
United States Lines ended its North
Atlantic operations - disrupted by
the United States war-born Neu-
trality Act-with the announcement
today that it must transfer eight
ships to foreign registry, or aban-
don its North Atlantic interests.
At the same time, John M.
Franklin, president of the lines,
called for statement of foreign
policy from the Federal Government
and said the lines withdrawal of
application for transfer of the ships
to the Panamanian flag might be
superseded with a request to place
the bottoms with a British, Belgian
or Irish company.
He said the ships. including the
President Harding, were about 20
years old and obsolete, and that
national policy" had prompted the
line to retract its request to place
them under Panamanian registry.
The arrival of the American Mer-
chant, due to dock today, took the
last United States Lines ship from
the North Atlantic shipping trade
A commerce that Mr. Franklin said
his line had spent about $4,000 900
to build up.

New Debt Agreement
Is Reached With
German Firms
Pact Covers About
$4,000, 900 of Short
Term Obligations
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-An agree
ment called the German American
standstill agreement of 1899" on GER
tain short-term German CONNER
cial Indebtedness has been con-
cluded between group representing
American banking institutions and
a committee representing banking,
commercial and industrial firms in
Germany. it was announced today.
The short-term Indebtedness con-
cerned represents the unpaid bal
ance outstanding as of November /,
this year, formerly subject to the
former standStill agreement.
It is estimated the new agreement
will cover about $46, ,000, 900 of Short
term debts which had been progress
sively cut down from $486 900 900 in
1881.
The former standstill agreement,
in which American, British, French,
Dutch, Swiss and Belgian banks
participated, was terminated Sep
tember 3 last. The Swiss, Belgian
and Dutch banking groups have
since entered into separate agree
ments with the German firms, re-
placing the expired pact.
Explaining the new pact,
spokesman for the American group
said:
THE new agreement provides
that to the extent the indebtedness
is paid off during the currency of
the agreement, new bills may be
drawn but only for financing ship
ments from the United States and
that in each such case the creditor
bank must be fully satisfied that
there is no violation of any provi-
sion of the Neutrality Act or any
other law of the United States.

NEW YORK, Dec. 11-Cotton
prices advanced sharply during the
later part of last week on aggressive
domestic and foreign buying.
At the close Saturday active old
type futures contracts in the New
York cotton exchange showed net
advances for the week of 33 to SO
points. The distant new type, new
crop october delivery gained 19
points.
The sharp uplift. cotton analysts
said. has been caused by very strong
foreign markets and to an even
greater degree by the belief the
supply of cotton in trade channels,
so-called free cotton might prove
inadequate to meet trade needs dur
/ ing the current season. This be-
came increasingly clear last week
to many observers when 1t was
learned export sales this season
already aggregate around 5,000,0
bales.
Decreases in the subsidy rate an
nomced during the past week, the
first cut from IL cents per pound
to 2. of cent and the second from
q to 4l0 of cent per pound, were
said IN trade circles to have caused
heavy increase in sales Of cotton
to foreign buyers.
Ideas as to the total supply of
free" cotton were changed slightly
by the Government S latest estimate
OF the crop of 11,792.O 900 bales,
slight reduction from a month ago.
Textile mills continued to run at
high rate, although new business
was slow. With mills maintaining
operations mainly on orders booked
few weeks ago. and with these
orders being rapidly run down, it
was believed they will need new
business before long if they are to
continue to run at the present nigh
rate.
Large cloth sales Friday, however,
led some cotton men to believe the
recent deadlock in textile trading
centers had been broken.
