The reporting agency represented by the ticker and tape was entirely inadequate. At the end of the first hour when blocks of U. S. Steel were recorded on the tape at 120% to 121%, actual sales were being made at 122 and not until 10 minutes later did these sales appear on the ticker reports. The ticker did not finish clicking off the reports of sales until 12:43 p.m. nearly three quarters of an hour after the sounding of the final gong of the floor of the exchange. So jammed was the ticker service that Radio Corp. stock, on which the price of 76% was being printed on the tape, was actually selling at 68 on the floor of the exchange. Traders in the brokers houses shortly after the close of the market were informed that Radio had dropped to 68 and rallied to 71. Half an hour before the ticker signalled the completion of its work. Today's session was one of the most sensational of the long record of busy bullish sessions since the first of November. Salem of stock reached the total of 1,500-900 shares. Speculators gave their preference to stocks of companies connected either directly or indirectly with the radio business and price gains ranged from one to 10 points. Westinghouse Electric, Manhattan Supply, Electric Storage Battery and Stromberg Carburetor were the leaders in the industrial stores. Southern Ry., sold above 80 for the first time in its history and New York Central at 120% broke all records since 1919, and was wit ha point of its highest price since 1910.

AIR FLEE INADEQUATE Takes Violent Except To Claims U.S. Naval Service Excels An investigation into the editions of the American navy he launched by Congress on March 8. Statements were received made to congress by naval officials that our naval air force superior to any in the world. In the accompanying article Rear Admiral Fullam expresses violent discontent from those statements and gives his views. By Rear Admiral W. F. Fullam, U.S.N. (Retired) Written International News Service Copyright 1925 by L.N.S.WASHINGTON, Jan. 3—naval空军 is manifestly force of combatant airplanes can be permanently maintained with the fleet and utilized battles at sea for scouting, firing and bombing. A naval air force that accompanies the fleet is no air force at all. If it can move and fight with the fleet every part of the world, it not be properly classed as an air force. If it can only erate from shore bases and make hop along the coast, it is a keen reed as far as the navy concerned. Such a force is not a sea-guard force. It is a land force. In one breath we are with some boastfulness; every battleship will carry two planes, every cruiser two every destroyer and submarine one. In the next we are told after these planes get up the air and fly around they have some place to light or will drop helplessly into the water. We must have "land fields" at sea, otherwise our force is useless after a few hours And this statement is used conservative naval officers "experts", as an argument more battleships and cruisers. The airplane carrier is a going landing place. Lack carriers we lack naval land fields. And lacking these planes that we stow on our ships and cruisers are of only for a few minutes.

RECOGNIZE SLAVS LISBON, Portugal, Jan. 3. — The cabinet today decided formally to recognize Russia as a Soviet republic. A Class Ad is host little salesman. It is amazing that some experts—or "inexperts"—canmore the present helplessness our fleet in air power. We continue to show vociferous for "gun elevations" and "tiers" which contribute more battleships and cruisers. The airplane carrier is a going landing place. Lock carriers we lack naval land fields. And lacking these planes, that we stow on our ships and cruisers are often only for a few minutes. Air force, so-called, evaporates. Two battle cruisers are being converted into carriers But we are informed these are not will be finished until autumn of 1926. That me they cannot possibly be manned and ready for battle before autumn of 1927. Despite this condition the section is heard that our masters superior to all others in air. There are five plane riders in the British navy. The British naval air force with its seagoing landing file could quickly overpower United States air force men hours before the fleets come into contact, and they can then proceed leisurely to be and torpedo our ships off areas, regardless of the "battleship ratio." Furthermore, shooting down our "spot planes," they could render big guns useless at ranges beyond 20,000 yards. Here again the battleship rises is of no account. The "air raft is the key to victory. And, plus this fundamental truth "experts" insist on increasing elevation of guns while giving other navies the command of air. It accounts for the depressive fact that our naval policy is the armistice led us strait to the rear, not to the front in naval preparedness. It is amazing that some experts—or "inexperts"—canmore the present helplessness our fleet in air power. We continue to show vociferous for "gun elevations" and "tiers" which contribute more battleships and cruisers.

If there is any doubt in your mind about your ability to qualify as a voter, do not fail to visit the city council campaign headquarters on the second floor of the Odd Fellows-bldg this evening. One registrar at council headquarters last night registered 33 voters. Many more sought to register today. Several did not hesitate to say that they had been prompted to register by a bitter invective in another Anaheim newspaper last night by Rev. J. A. Geissinger, spokesman for the U.S.A. club, and one of the principal agitators for the recall of the dry councilmen ever since his efforts in behalf of the old Boss Bill Stark were political machine were rebuke by a vote of almost two to one at last spring's election. If such demonstrations of spheen are the only reasons for recall of the dry councilmen, certainly want to register so I can voice my protest against such high handed tactics," a well-known Anaheim man stopped Mayor McCait on the street to say. He admitted that he had been "somewhat on the fence because of the efforts to stir up dust," but he added that his wife and two of the neighbors were also being registered and would "vote right." "A few more outbursts of this kind and everyone will vote for the present dry councilmen." he asserted. A prominent Anaheim business man declared today that he was the only one of a family of seven voters who cast his ballot for the dry councilmen last spring. The rest of the folks have had their eyes opened and we will give the present dry council seven votes Feb. 3," he declared. Many similar expressions of confidence in the record made by Councilmen Metcalf, Knipe, Hason and Slayback for law enforcement and efficiency in administration of civil affairs generally have been made to the council campaign committee.

If the Clemental note, ported en route to Was bears out the summaries of have been cabled in patches from Paris, it is answered a foregone conclusion that the terms proposed by will prove wholly unaccepted by the United States. These terms are under be: 1-A moratorium of ten 2-An interest rate of one percent, and 3-Payments to be made period of 90 years. Such terms would mark a departure from the agreements already proclaimed by the British, Pollah, Li and other debt settlements undoubtedly would lead to opposition in congress while in the end, approve any made by the American deign commission.

Bulgin, Famous Evangelist, Coming Here Our attention has been called to an article appearing on the front page of the Bulletin in which a alighting reference was made to Dr. E. J. Bulgin's proposed meeting. The reference was so phrased as to almost compel one to the conclusion that the article in question was written by an ecclesiastical person. However that may be, the reference to the coming revival is entirely out of order. Dr. Bulgin's name is a household word in practically every denomination in the United States. He has held meetings in all the principal cities in America with all evangelical churches participating. On the coast he has held revivals in practically all the principal towns and cities. He held meetings in Fullerton, Santa Ana, San Diego, Los Angeles and vicinity and his friends in California number into the tens of thousands. No minister who cares a fig for his honor or word will refer to Dr. Bulgin in any way other than in terms of highest praise. The fact that a man of his standing will hold a revival under the auspices of the K.K.K. speaks loud in praise of that organization, and the fact that the K.K.K. is bringing him to Anaheim affords an opportunity to the people of Anaheim to listen to a series of addresses for which they can and will be grateful. Dr. Bulgin is forceful, eloquent and has a punch to his words that compel attention and the Lord pity the quicker who has no better sense than to try to stop the progress of his machine—Leon L. MYERS. An interest rate of one percent, and three payments to be made period of 90 years. Such terms would mark legal departure from the agreements already proven by the British, Polish, Liechtenstein and other debt settlements undoubtedly would lead to opposition in congress while in the end, approve any made by the American deign commission. Fiscal experts pointed out that a ten year moratorium not be bringing any more to the treasury until 1935 during this period American payers would be paying metely $125,000,000 at interest on the money loaned to France, some of the armistice. Also, an interest rate half of one per cent is out of the question. There are paying three and three half. And furthermore no expert points on that throut the period agreement, 90 years. Taxpayers would be making difference between one-half per cent and the 4½ per cent paid to holders of bonds. Administration officials today that any British apache have approached this government on the proposition of Grænin's demanding "equation" from France in rangelength reached over the state department ed today that at the time the allied finance ministers would be repressed Ambassador Frank B. Ke London; Ambassador Myrick at Paris, in addition James A. Logan, the co-unofficial observer at E.gatherings.

NINE BURNED MONTREAL, Que., Jan. 3.—Nine persons, eight of them children, met death in two fires in North Montreal early today. The fires broke out while the family were still asleep. A boy and two girls were victims in one fire. A woman and five children died in the second fire. The dead: Patter Taylor 9; Freda Nowell 10; Helen Nowell, 11; Unidentified Greek woman, Lionel Brault; 9; Hene Brault, 12; Cecile Thoulin, 9; Romeo Thoulin, 3; Emillienne Thoulin, 6. The Nowell children were guests of the Taylor children. Both fires are supposed to have been caused by overheated stoves. Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Taylor parents of the Taylor children returned to their home about 1 o'clock in the morning having been spending the evening with friends. When they reached the house it was in flames. Taylor rushed inside to rescue the children but was driven back by the scorching heat. His wife, realizing the impending tragedy, fainted.

FIREMAN SUFFOCATED PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 3.—Walter Connison, 29, a fireman, was suffocated and the Queen Auto Supply Co. and the United States Fire Co. store were destroyed by a fire today with a loss estimated at $600,000. An interest rate of one-half of one percent, and 3—Payments to be made over a period of 90 years. Such terms would mark a radical departure from the basic agreements already provided in the British, Polish, Lithuanian and other debt settlements and undoubtedly would lead to stamina in congress which must, on the end, approve any bargain made by the American debt funding commission. Fiscal experts pointed out today that a ten year moratorium would not be bringing any money into the treasury until 1935 and that during this period American tax payers would be paying approximately $125,000,000 a year interest on the money that was loaned to France, some of it after the armistice. Also, an interest rate of one-half of one per cent is considered out of the question. The British are paying three and three and a half. And furthermore it would mean, experts pointed out today, that thrust the period of the agreement, 90 years, American taxpayers would be making up the difference between one-half of one cent and the 4½ per cent being paid to holders of Liberty bonds. Administration officials denied today that any British spokesman have approached this government in the proposition of Great Britain's demanding "equal treatment" from France in any arrangement reached over the debts. The state department announced today that at the meeting of the allied finance minister at Paris next Tuesday, the United States would be represented by ambassador Frank B. Kellogg at London; Ambassador Myron Herick at Paris, in addition to Col. James A. Logan, the customary official observer at European gatherings.
