teen cuirassiers attacked 200 dragons
Of the German imperial guard and
dashed right through them. They con-

the nineteen were killed, and five were
made prisoners. The others passed
through the German lines in disguise
The party had dismounted at a farm
outside Remy at 10 o'clock at night
when they were cut off by squadron
Of the imperial guard. The lieutenant
consulted his men, and all agreed to
try to break through the enemy. The
guard gave way before their impetu-

Unfortunately the little band got sep

cealed himself behind pile of wood.
Another, after dismounting and killing
three Of the opponents. jumped over a
garden wall and hid. The others got
into other houses.
In all cases the fugitives put on
civilian clothes and remained hidden
for two days while the Germans kept
searching for them. The lieutenant
was found in marsh with two ribs
broken and his shoulder out Of joint.
He was taken into factory and was
dressed as an overseer, and eventually.

sion were SIS, III, ,060. Even Dallas pre-
sented a total o( S19, ,OO0 or almost
exactly the same as that of New Or
leans.
New Orleans Stood Still.
So far as the case for New Orleans is
concerned. the old city seems to have
been approximately standing still. while
her rivals have outstripped her in the
race for financial supremacy. Members
OF the organization committee empha-
size the fact that this showing was
quite as much of a surprise to thep as
it doubtless will be to most other people
who have not been In very close touch
with the. details Of business develop
nient, since the beginning of the pres
ent century.
The effort Of the committee has
been to give due weight to the
probable lines Of financial develop
ment in the future. This had a great
deal to do with the selection Of Atlanta
and Dallas. the committee naturally
concluding that as those cities had
made such tremendous strides in the
last decade. while New Orleans had ad-
vanced at a much less notable pace,
therefore 1t might reasonably be pre-
sumed that in coming decades much the
same relation would be maintained.
Why Baltimore Lost
Baltimore's defeat by Richmond is ex-
planned on two grounds. First, when
the preferences of the bankers In the
territory assigned to the Richmond dis
trict were asked, the poll gave an over
whelming vote in favor of Richmond

district outside of Maryland and Fir-
ginia, voted for. Richmond. This, of

heavily in favor of Richmond. as
against either Baltimore or Washing
ton. was the fact that an analysis Of
the business of Baltimore national
banks developed that they were not do
ing nearly so much buJiness with the
Southern States as were the banks OF
Richmond. ..
On this point the tabulation of data
is extremely interesting. As Of Janu-
ary 13, 1914. it Is shown that Baltimore
national banks reported total loans of
$50 cocoon Richmond national banks $751;
600. 01O. and Washington national banks
ST, co., CO. It was further shown THAT,
Of the loans and discounts of the Bal
tirnore banks. s5o.oOo.oo were in the
Eastern States, and less than $1,000 900
in the Southern States: while. on the
other hand, the Richmond banks had
more than s33 Oo 40 of their loans and
discounts in the Southern States. That
is to say. the figures showed that, al
though Baltimore had outstanding $50
ooo.OO. as against Richmond's ss5 90 e9o
Of loans and discounts, yet Richmond
was doing five times as much banking
business in the South as Baltimore.
Baltimore's claim to being an essen
italy Southern city fell down under the
analysis OF the facts about its national
banking business.
WashinFton rnhde an even poorer
showing than Baltimore in this regard.
While II showed more than se7 70CO 0oo Of
loans and discounts outstanding, il also
showed that more than sos.Goo.Coo of

IT was further in favor of Richmond
that tie banking business of that city
has shown remarkable increase in
recent years. Baltimore showed loans
and discounts of all banks--national
State, savings. and trust companies
of SelS per capita; Washington of $1S
per capita, and Richmond OF sSsS pei
capita
The tendencies of financial develop
ment counted strongly in favor of Rich
nord as against either Baltimore or
Washington. For instance, in the dec
ade from 1909 to 1913 Baltimore national
banks showed an increase of IS per cent
in their Individual deposits. and of S5
per cent in their loans and discounts,
while Richmond national banks were
able to report for the same period All
increase of 152 per cent In individual
deposits. and of 207 per cent in loans
and discounts.
New Orleans also suffered by this
particular comparison. 1t showed an
increase of only . per cent In indi-
vidual deposits during the decade. and
Al per cent I'm loans and discounts. while
Atlanta showed an increase of 13o per
cent in individual reposits and of 165
per cent in loans and discounts
During the decade. the capital and
surplus of New Orleans national banks
increased only AZ per cent, while capital
and surplus of Atlanta banks increased
2s9 per cent. and OF Dallas banks I'D per
cent.
Too Close to Philadelphia.
The committee concluded that all the
tendencies Of present-day growth end
DEVELOPMENT indicated that Richmond
was destined to be a very much more
importart financial center, as related
to Southern territory. than Baltimore;
and Balti,nore's only chance to be
named as {, reserve city depended upon
its showing as a proper financial capital
for Southern district. 1t was TOO close
to Philadelphia to get consideration as
the head of an Eastern district.
