She stepped TO the rail and looked
axedly at the black shadow like gil
gantic fish that represented the sub.
marine. Carson had disappeared over
the side in terrifying hand under
hand descent until he reached the
trusswork of the nacelle. The black
shadow grew more distinct. the round
deck broke water. and as the manhole
opened Wilmer appeared and aimed
at Carson coolly as Mt target. Too
hastily Virginia fired. The bullet
struck the edge of the deck with n
vicious spat. Winners pistol spoke:

third shot of this strange duel She
braced herself against the rail, aimed

and fired-hred with the curious certi-
tude the marlisman feels when he is
making n good shot. Wilmer had Just
lifted his arm TO fire again. but his
hand fell as IL struck down by n
giant's blow. He dropped back into
the darkness like shot woodchuck,

went on toward deep water as grlmly
as before.

security. The American exporter. as
well. is at disadvantage. Since our
system does aot allow the creation OF
a supply OF exchange on New York,
foreign debtors must pay with bills
on Paris. Berlin, or London. the ex-
porter being forced to value his gooIs
in francs or marks or sterling. He is
thus obliged to assume the risk OF
exchange, serious handicap when
competing, for instance, with British
exporters.
The prohibition of bank accept
auces Is detrimental to our banks
particularly the small country bank.
The country bank finds the employ
ment of Its surplus funds a serious
problem. Deposits with reserve
agent yield but low interest return;
Investment in bonds partakes of the
nature Of speculation, and the pur-
chase Of commercial paper Involves
risk and the tying up Of the banks

taken would be eliminated. What Is
vital, however. is that with a nation
al discount market an Investment In
bank-accepted bill is one which
could be realized upon Immediately"
The New York banks are also in
jured because OF the prohibition OF
bank acceptances. They are forced
to put'thelr surplus funds into day-to-
day loans on the stock exchange. In
this field there Is often the keenest
competition, competition which "is
not only OF little benefit to trade, but
which. through, the lowering OF the
money rate. actually stlmulater spec
ulation." Moreover. the absence Of al
steady money rate, such as exists
abroad deprives New York banks OF
a reasonable and satisfactory basis
upon which to fix rate OF Interest
on the deposits OF country banks. In
London the interest paid on deposits
is fixed at certain percentage below
the discount rate OF the Bank OF Eng
