liar Institutions in Other States.

The national banks of Colorado
held the largest percentage of avail
able cash resources of any state in
the union at the close of business on
December 3. according to statistics
compiled by the comptroller of the
currency.
The strength of the banks in this
state at just that time when the coun-
try was emerging form short panic
is such as to warrant the people in
taking great pride In its banking in
stitutions and it is at the same time
reflection of the stable business
conditions here when other sections
of the country were suffering.
The average reserves in the nation
al banks of Colorado was 3S.96 per
cent at that time, while the average
for all of the banks in the United
States was only 24.72 per cent. Thai
shows that Colorado banks were car.
rying 14.24 per cent more reserve.

GRAVE FRENCH PROFESSOR
BELIEVES WAR IMMINENT
(By Associated Press. }

Paris, Jan. 9.-The sensational
section of the French press contin-
ues to dwell upon the probability Of
a clash between Japan and the Unit
ed States.
The La Presse yesterday published
long interview with jacques Flach.
the historian and a professor In the
college of France. who declares his
belief that conflict is certain for
the reason that Japan seeks war. He
advises the American fleet to be on
the watch for a sudden Japanese de-
scent, and asks:
who knows il the attack made by
the Japanese on the Russian ships at
Chemulpo will not be repeated upon
the American ships?'
Continuing NJ. Flach advises Great
Britain and France to intervene and
put an end to the trouble before 1t is
too late.
The Journal Des Debats, a more
conservative paper. prefaced . long
editorial article with the remark that
conflict Is probable. but It then pro-
| ceeds to outline the circumstances
which appear to favor a rupture. In
the event of clash, this paper be-
lieves that Japan will try to seize
Hawaii as the territorial key to the
situation.
