Several times we have heard men
talking about the atrocities of the war
i'm Europe lose their tempers and wish
for all kinds of dire calamities for the
alleged perpetrators. 1t is well to sus-
pend judgment and not get excited
over stories which may have no toun-
datiOn in fact. War is terrible in any
event, but in the Franco-Prussian
struggle charges similar to those which
now come across the waters were be-
ing made at all times, but when the
history of the war was finally written
after peace had been declared it was
shown that most Of these stories of
blood curdling cruelties were canards
put in circulation to arouse prejudice
against one side and sympathy for the
other.

VERMONT BANKS IN
EXCELLENT CONDITION
An Increase of Nearly Five Million
Dollars for the Fiscal Year End
ing June 80.

Frank c. Williams of Newport, bank
commissioner of Vermont, in the re
port which he has prepared for sub
mission to the general assembly, says
that the total deposits of 21 mutual
savings bank and 36 savings banks and
trust companies of the state at the
close of business June 80, 1914, We're
500, S62 1920, being an increase over
last year of 1892, 1860. This in
crease is divided as follows: The q
mutual savings banks have increased
s., 069, % "a in deposits, and the SO
savings banks and trust companies
have increased s.. 90. 508.96 in depos-
its for the year. The number of de-
positors in all the banks has increased
IT'S; the number OF Vermont depOs-
itOrs has increased 6.447 and the non
resident depositors has increased 1871.
The amount of deposits by residents
Of Vermont has increased 81 $50, 1880,
and the deposits by nOu-residents have
increased 5000, 972.I0. The number of
depOsitors having more than $1,000
each of deposits has increased l,O3l
and the amount of such deposits has
increased 81 SAG, 25S.70. The state
banks have paid to the state of Yer
mon in taxes during the year, $62S,-
6l6.02, being an increase over the pre-
vious year of 3l,237.S2. The banks
have paid depOsitors in interest dur
ing the year, $3,25O,044.95, being an
increase of 1921 ,309l3 over the pre-
vious year.
Dividends to stockholders in trust
companies have increased Sl2,23l49 as
against decrease OF the previous
wear, OF S3o,o5S.23. The rate OF sur
plus to depositors has increased 0ool
over the previous year. Nineteen OF
the mutual savings banks paid depos-
| dtors at the rate OF per cent per an
mum on deposits, and two paid 312 per
cent per annum. Two trust companies
have no deposits. Thirty-onc trust
| companies paid p cent per annum
on savings deposits, one paid +ls per
cent per annum. one paid Az per cent
and one paid BIS per cent on depos-
| it's
| The ratio of surplus to deposits
| shows a healthy increase this year, al
! though it has not reached the point set
| by the commissioner as the goal which
he urged the banks for, namely, 10 per
cent, but an examination Of the re
ports of banking departments of the
ltother states shows that the banks OF
vermont, taken as a whole, are not
excelled in percentage of surplus, by
the banks OF sister states.
The amount of taxes paid the state
of Vermont unon deposits bv the bank,
