FLOATING BASES AID NEW DRY FLEET ¥Mother Ships” in Wettest Spots on Coast Help Greatly { in War on Rum-Runners. “Section floating bases” have been Turtled into the United States Coast Guard war on rum smuggling as the latest and most effective “two-edged sword.” A whole system of these seagoing headquarters for the sleek new speed boats and personnel of Uncle Sam's rum-chasing armada has already been established and is in action against the enemy all up and down the Atlantic seaboard. This ‘was learned “today when de- tails of the sensational departure from former methods of prosecuting the “war” revealed a picture of bat- tle not unlike that waged by the submarines and their mother ships during the World War.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, November 28.—Another indictment charging eonfidence game and larceny by bailee against Leo Koretz, under arrest in Halifax, N. S., was expected to be returned today. He already is under State and Fed- eral indictments charging eonfidence game and use of the mails to defraud. Reports received today were to the effect that Koretz, who took more than $2,000,000 from his relatives, friends and others, had planned a $1,000,000 promotion in Nova Scotia.
