Senator Capper, republican, Kansas, last night gave out a letter from Sec- retary of Commerce Hoover in favor of “a definite organization” to mobilize funds for long-term agricultural cred- its. The long-term credit organization, Secretary Hoover suggested, might be organized through “a new department in the federal farm loan banks” and, he said, was “needed and entirely feas- ible. It should operate, he said, sim- flar to the credit mobilization of shorter term credits by the federal reserve and farm land systems. “Such a proposal,” said Mr. Hoover, s not paternalistic any more than are the other two systems. Mr. Hoover said that the federal resarve and farm loan systems take care of farmers' short-term credit needs, but that for growing and mar- keting crops and live stock farmers need additional credit facilities for long-term loans. These, Mr. added, should be secured from ment capital of the country than from the commercial pool. WAR RISK CASES SETTLED. Speed Made in Disposing of Sol- dier Claims. Announcing today the completion of & drive to settle all claims of former service men pending in the war risk insurance bureau, Director Forbes said all claims had been acted upon except those of current filing, which would receive action within the next twenty-four hours. ‘With arreara; of 56,000 cases in the medical division on May 1 re- duced to 14.000 cases by July 1, this division, Director Forbes said, had in the last three weeks disposed of a twenty-four-hour average of 7,000 cases. The compensation and in- surance claims division, where a monthly average of 21,000 new cases 1s received, had disposed of these, he said, and brought its pending cases to a current basis in this drive.

Master of Alleged Mystery Shi Must Explainerd Actions at Sea By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, July 22.—The master of the small British schgoner Pocomoke, which came into Atlantic City Wednesday in distress and with- out her cargo of 1,000 cases of -in- toxicating liquors, will have somg ex- plaining to do to the British authori- ties in this jurisdiction, according to Charles R. Kurtz, surveyor of the port. “There is no question the Pocomoke is the mysterious vessel reported off the New Jersey coast.” Mr. Kurtz sald- today. “All the vessel's papers were taken by Navigation Inspector Marstellar, who boarded the .Poco- moke at Atlantic City, and turned over to the British consul for. in- quir. Mr. Kurtz sajd the Pocomoke came into Atlantic City under distress sig- nals. Capt. J. A. Roy, according to Mr. Kurtz, said he left Nassau, Bahama Island, with 1,000 cases of liqudr for Quebec.

Roy said his crew was discharged and transferred to another vessel at sea, which is said to be a violation of maritime law. “While we cannot do anything about what he did with his cargo outside the three-mile limit, the British gov- ernment can certatnly make him give a more definite explanation of the actions of the Pocomoke at sea,” said Mr. Kurtz.
