money of the country as Mr.. McAdoo
has charged. Mr.. Stokes's telegram
to McAdoo follows:
1T enter an earnest protest against
publication of the Mechanics Nation
al Bank of this city as boarding in
stitution. We were borrowers our
selves a short time ago and are bor-
rowers at this date. owing to accom-
modations extended to those needing
credit On the date of the statement
to the government we had a tempor-
airy deposit left here for one week
for transfer which made our reserve
temporarily appear excessive, but on
| the day OF that statement to you we
were below our legal cash reserve.
1t is our policy always to loan to the
full limit OF our reserve in response
| to demands for credit
I'VE are not forcing a single GUS
| toner to pay loan and will not UNI
| less Obliged to. We followed the
same policy in 1907 when we bor-
| rowed 100000 to take care of the
business needs of our community.
You have done us an injustice. We
court investigation and will be glad
to have your personal representative
come and verify our statement.
If you can send US some govern
ment deposits it will enable us to
make additional loans in this cons
munity."

the sight of trainloads of soldiers be-

another. the cars bedecked with such
signs as, WE'VE had breakfast In
Paris and will take tea in st. Peters
burg"
'The dress of the French soldiers
is ridiculous, declares -hlsS 1iihiii'o'
IT saw French prisoners of war wear
ing patent leather pumps and high
heeled ties. Their clothes were liter
ally pinned together"
Miss Grimme has letters from q
Young German soldier who fought at
I.iege, in which he says the Belg1ans
nailed German children to the fences,
cut off noses and ears and dragged
girls through the streets by the hair
of the head.

accomplished a notable exploit. He

ITO the north of Alost the armored

however, always many volunteers for

According to a prearranged plan,
several squadrons of Cossacks and
artillerymen, Stimulating retreat, be-
gan to fall back rapidly under cover
OF the infantry.
THE Austrians rose TO the bait and
emerged from their trenches in pur-
suit, in the direction of small river,
where companies of Russian infantry
checked the furious Austrian on
Alaughf Cossacks and artillery,
crossing by bridge, began to en-
trench themselves on the opposite
bank, posting several machine guns,
while the artillery hid their guns in
trenches under the bushes upper
ceiged by the enemy.
when the preparations were COM
plete for the enemy's reception, the
infantry hurriedly retreated to the
opposite bank, where they pretended
to set fire to the bridge, as though
intending to cut off the enemy's adj
vance.
'.,Fhe Austrian troops, seeing be-
fore them q small body of Russians,
blihdly charged. The enemy's infan-
try, with shouts of victory, APP
preached the bridge while their cav
airy dashed through the river.
suddenly q terrific explosion was
heard and the bridge, which was
crowded with massed Austrian col
urnns, was blown to pieces. while on
the opposite bank the Russian guns
and quickfirers. scattered death
among the advancing Austrians until
the river was choked with bodies.

BANKS PROTEST
PUBLICATION OF
BOARDING LIST
Resent McAdoo's Criticism and
Deny WiIfuIIy Creating
Money Stringency.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-Protests
from bankers from being held up as
guilty of wiIfully creating a string
ency by alleged boarding OF currency
reserves began to reach the treasury
| department today. Some of the lei
tiers used vigorous terms in critl-
cizing Secretary McAdoe's action ~
publishing of the so-called black list.
That they would be subject TO
severe criticism had they had failed
to maiptain ample reserve under
present conditions was the tenor of
the bankers protests. For protec-
tion of themselves and their de-
positors, the protesting bankers con-
tend it is only prudent to maintain
more than the minimum legal re-
serves during the war situation.
Despite the bankers protests, Sec
retary McAdoo today evidenced
strong intentions of continuing his
campaign against money boarding.
Occasional additions to his black list
are planned. He is receiving many
letters commencing him for "shoW-
ing up" the banks guilty of hoard
ing and demanding excessive inter-
est. Many of the letters cite m
stances of alleged extortion and re-
fusal of credit. State banking COM
missioners of many States are also
promising cooperation.

Ry the Associated Press.

PARIS, Sept. 26.- An aviator who
has Just returned from the front tells
of the difficulty encountered by the
flying men on reconnaissance duty.
He said:
1--WE are obliged to fly at height
of about one mile and a quarter
which makes observation difficult as
small objects, even with the aid of
the strongest glasses, assume UNI
familiar shapes and become fore
shortened.
"If we fly under that height we are
greeted by a hail of rifle fire which
is far more effective than the can
non. We fear the rifles more than
the bursting shapnel. as the fire of
the regiments. concentrated on sim
gle object is far more deadly"
