Depression In The last.
In the East the inquiries OF the
bank examiners show that the Euro
pean war has produced abnormal
conditions generally. In some lines
there is especial activity. the result.

materials. In vet other lines there il
a depressed state. 1T is worthy Of re-
mark, however that but few manu-
featuring enterprises in the East have
closed down entirely and only "A
small numbe are now working on
reduced time. Most loans in many
sections Of the East are being paid in
full at maturity. The crops have
shown large yields and business on
the whole is gradually assuming A
condition approaching normal. in
spite of the European war.
Middle and Far West Prosper.
h Middle West. the intermoun-
tain States and the Pacific Coast sec
tlOnS are even now showing symptoms
of great prosperity. The bank exam
iners have found, for instance. thai
in the agricultural sections the great

weeks and that the shipping facili-
ties in some States are being taxed to
meet the demands upon them.
ON the Pacific Coast the

strong. Withdrawals on o of the
uneasiness produced by the European
war have almost ceased. No failures

In the intermountain country it is

Manufacturing is somewhat below

Expansion More Than Il Prospect.
This is, briefly, the condition Of
American business today as found BY
the host of national bank examiners.
And, of course. the bank reports
which are now being received at the
Treasury Department in response to
the last call of the Comptroller, will
bear out observations Of the examin-
ers.
But, as previously stated. these of
icials find throughout the country a
feeling that domestic prosperity for
the American people is inevitable.

abroad is more than a mere prospect,

to the same end. national business
will assume great proportions wheth

question to him and he admitted that
he had. He said he had fixed its re-
production value at 100000 at that
time, fact we had never before been
able to ascertain.
Claims Big Increase.
"Mr. Bond informed him the COM
pany was no claiming a reproduction
valuation of $1.o19.2s3, plus $4,000
crease in reproduction valuation in
five years or approximately half a
million dollars.
Then Mr.. Bond asked him to ex-
plain how so great an increase in re-
production could be made in such a
short space of time. Whereupon Mr..
Alvord entered into long explanation
on a hypothetical basis, dealing more
in theories than in actual facts, and |
am free to confess that it was i'm
possible for me to follow him. Not
one word of his lengthy explanation
was convincing"
Asked concerning the charge made
by Engineer Meade, one of the COM
pany's engineers, that the consumers
were paying for the cheap water fur
nished the city, Mr.. Bavis said he adj
vocated a policy whereby the city
would pay for all the water it used.
Not a City Asset.
when a franchise was a municipal
asset I believe the city should re-
ceive payment for the transfer of such
an assets to a corporation, through
the medium Of free service of the utili-
ty in question, but under the state
commission law a franchise is no
longer thing of value to municipal
ity. and ! think that this city should
now pay for it's water, and lift the
burden off it's citizens" he said.
All the evidence in the hearing be-
fore the state commission was com.
pleted yesterday, and the arguments
will be heard March 12.

 Responsible

Philadelphia, July 4.-President Wilson has requested the resignation of George Fred Williams. American minister ~to Greece and Montenegro, as result of Mrs. Williams public statements regard ing the situation in Albania. This became known following the Presidents arrival here today
 MT Williams own reports on ais state ments were taken up at the cabinet meet ing yesterday. Afterward MT. Wilson declared their effect was such that 1t would be improper for MT. Williams to longer represent the United States in the Balkans
 It has been understood that Mir Will Hams of his own accord has forwarded his resignation, but so far as could be learned it has not been received by the President
 Secretary Bryan, in formal statement Friday, repudiated the alleged utterances of Mir Williams, declaring that they were made solely on the minister's own au- thority This step, which Is said to have been suggested by President Wilson, was reshr hrded as highly significant in official circles
 Coming at this time. after officials of the government had heretofore declined to comment on press dispatches quoting Minister Williams as having attacked the Prince of Wied and his government in Albania, the action caused consider able comment.
 Although press dispatches reported that the minister had rendered his resignation, to come home. it had not. so far as could be learned. reached the department early today.
