London, September 14th-Better weather

Mr. Churchill, IN the course of a speech
at Lochee, outlined a system of federation
for Great Britain. He said England alone
Is too large for a single Parliament, and
suggested that it be divided into provinces,
such as Lancashire, YoI kshire, the Mid
lands and London, pointing out that the
United States conducted its business through
a larger number of palliaments, IN proportion
to It's population, than If there were ten or
tw elve parliaments in the United Kingdom.

The Opposition press, commenting Gu the
speech, exclaim Back to the Heptarchy.'
Owing to the recent casualties sustained
bv the aviation corps of the army, the War
Office has suspended the use OF monoplanes
in The service. Although speedier than BIZ
planes, the latter are found to be safer and
more stable.
Advices from Picking state that the loan
of ten million pounds, which China believed
she had negotiated in London outside the
influence of the six Powers, is now fading
away, the bankers demanding information
regarding the reliability of the guarantees
offered.

been admitted without these 70! mnlitieS. On
the whole the institution has proved very
successful. 1t soon gained, under the wise
management of Chief Justice Andersen, the
confidence of the public, which had been
shattered by the failure Of the older Bank,
and that confidence was continued under
Chief Justice Jurs. The amount Of the de-
posts continued to increase until the tstab-
llsbmeut of the National Bank of the Danish
West Indies, when a large part of lis bust
ness was naturally transferred to the Say
ing's Bank department of that Institution.
During the last B years, however, the number
and amount Of deposits have slightly in
creased.
AS Will be seen from the Statement, the
present position of the New St. Croix Say
ings Bank is decidedly good. The Gen
eral or Reserve Fund stands at near
" 100000, the greater pnrt of which
is invested in easily realizabie Danish bonds.
Ehe report of the Auditors shows the iusti-
tuition to be also otherwise sound.
At the meeting of the Trustees on the 10th
