Olympia's new state bank, known
as the Olympia Bank & Trust com.
pany, capitalized at $4,000, started
business the latter part of this week
in temporary offices in the lobby OF
the Kneeland hotel, transformed to
suit the needs of bank by the in
stallation of banking furniture and
fixtures. Permanent headquarters
will be established in the new 3-story
concrete building Messrs. Troy &

The entrance of this new bank in
the field provides Olympia with three
financial institutions doing a general
commercial and savings bank busi-
ness, making feature of it's payment

posits and savings accounts. Under
the trust company part of its busi-
ness 1t will administer estates and
act as guardian, trustee and custo-

banking circles in it's announcement
that it will keep open from 1880 to
8 o'clock every Saturday night.
always at your service" is the
motto of the new institution. whose
officers and directors are well known
throughout the city and county and
whose stockholders, according to Mr..
Hays, include prominent business
men of the city and farmers of the
county. They propose to furnish the
people of this section with the facili-
ties of state bank, heretofore lack
ing, and will doubtless bring con-
siderable amount of new business to
the city.

HOUSTON SEES BIG
CHANGE FOR j. S.
SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE
DISCUSSES WARS EFFECT
UPON FARMING.
WASHINGTON, D. c., August 21

WASHINGTON, D. c.. August FL
IF congress takes advantage
promptly of the present situation
and enacts legislation for the en-
largement of the merchant marine
under the American flag, not only
would great temporary relief be af-
forded, but permanent advance
would be made.
This was the statement made the
other day by Secretary of Agricu1-
ture Houston in discussing for the
first time the effect of the European
war upon agriculture in the United
States, pointing out that the United
States is practically the only large
country undisturbed.
IF Germany and Austria cannot
control the high SEAS" he said, 'it
will be very difficult Tor food supplies
from this country to reach them, but
this would not have a very serious
effect on our exports, because very
small proportion IS taken by these
countries. OF the wheat and wheat
-four exported in 1913-about 14O,-
100000 bushels-only 100000
went to Germany and Austria.
Markets in Balance.
"If they were to control the high
seas it would seriously interfere with
the marketing of the greater part of
the foodstuffs we export.
"If, on the other hand, England,
France and Russia control the high
seas, we should be able to market in
the near future, without great diff
Guilty, the great mass of our export
able food products.
even if they cannot control the
seas, they are going to get supplies,
ands on account of their extensive
shore lines and large shipping facili-
tees they would doubtless secure a
very considerable part of what they
need.
Shortage in Europe.
"This season." continued the sec
retary, "has been unfavorable for
crops in Europe, as a result of which
there undoubtedly is some shortage.
now estimated at approximately
800, 100000 bushels. This shortage
may be further increased by destruc-
tion of the crops or failure to harvest
them through the diversion of labor
ers into the army.
"All the factors will tend to in
crease the demand abroad for Amer
lean wheat and strengthen prices"

GERMANS MOVE ON
TOWARD BRUSSELS
KAISER'S TROOPS ADVANCE
SIEADlLE-BELGI RE-
MOVE CAPITAL.

Latest advices from the European
war tell of the constant and steady
advance of the German troops
through Belgium, and while no au-
thentic reports of battles of any con-
sequence are available, the Belgians
are said to have evacuated the forts
at Liege and destroyed them, and de-
serted Brussels officially and moved
the capital to Antwerp.
Skirmishes, rumored or actual, are
reported quite frequently in the dis
patches, and the first great battle Of
the campaign has been expected mo-
mentarily any day during the last
week, but has not yet occurred, SO
far as press dispatches say. The
Germans have been attacking Diest
and other Belgian cities during tho
week, other skirmishes have taken
place lower down on the French bor-
der, the Russians and Germans are
reported to have engaged in conflicts
along the eastern German frontier,
while the Russians claim several VIC
tories in small attacks against tho
Austrians.
What VIII Japan Do?
Interest here has switched tempor-
arily this week from the seat Of war
in Europe to the Pacific ocean, and
the policy of Japan, to whom. It now
seems sure, the allies have entrusted
the task of clearing the Pacific and
the Far East of the Germans. Japan
delivered an ultimatum to Germany
the fore part Of the week. demand
ing the evacuation of certain TERRI
tory and the withdrawal Of It's battle
ships, and notified that country that
unless this was done 1t would, under
its treaty with Great Britain, pro-
ceed to capture German territory In.
the Orient.
The Germans are reported to hav0
made surprise advance close to the
Belgian >positions defending Brussels
the middle of the week, where they
encamped for the night. A Belgian
aviator discovered their position ana
revealed It to headquarters in time
and cavalry was hurried forward ana
after some marching and counter
the Germans retired. The
main front of the German army II
said to be within 20 miles of Brus-
sells, and proceeding steadily toward
that city, and the French and Eng
ish allies are reported to have taken
up a defensive position somewhere
lust outside the city, and it is expect
I'd that the German attack ON Brus-
'els will provoke the first great bat
lie of the war. II successful there.

werp. opening way to strike direct
y at France or England.
Conflicting Reports ON Liege.
Surrounded by the German army,
4iege is unable to send word to the
main army OF the allies. Whether Il
s still threatening German communi-
,ation, or whether the forts are now
n the hands. of the kaiser is un-
Known. German dispatches assert
hat the latter is the case. French
