WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 29.-
Comptroller Williams of the curren-
cy bureau, submitted his annual re-
port to congress today. 1t covers the
beginning of the transition from the
old national banking system to the
new federal reserve system, as well
as to the operations of more than 1000
national banks, which have become
part of the new system since his last
annual report was made.
Aside from reviewing the provisions

which it was put into operation, the

tons for new legislation. They are:
An amendment to require uniform
bylaws for national banks. In that
connection the comptroller declares
many bank directors fails to direct,
and says any director who does not
attend majority of board meetings in
a year should be ineligible for re-elec-
ton.
An amendment to permit signatures
on national bank notes to be printed
instead of made with pen and ink,
which would permit the bills to be
washed and restored to circulation.
That national banks be require to
limit their deposits to ten times their
combined capital and surplus.
That the comptroller be empowered
to remove, with the approval of the
secretary of the treasury, any director
or officer of national bank, guilty of
violating any of the more important
provisions of the bank law and direct
that suit be brought against them in
the name of the bank to recover for
the results of any malfeasance in Of
fee.
OF the federal reserve act and what
it is expected to accomplish for the
finance and commerce of the country,
the comptroller says:
"The federal reserve act is designed
not only to cure weaknesses and de-
fects of the currency system under
which we have struggled, and some
times staggered, in the past, as we
have outgrown the conditions and
passed beyond the circumstances
which 1t was especially provided to

scription is circulated here to erect on
the grounds of the towns feudal cas-
tie monument to the French cat THAI
saved the life of Lieutenant Lloyd, Of
the Grenadier Guards.
The cat did nothing purposely heroic.
But by curling around the neck of the
officer during the three days he lay
wounded and unattended near the
French frontier the cat acted as fur
boa and saved him from death by cold.
Lieut.. Lloyd is heir to Sir Martense
Lloyd, the chief commoner of Wales,
and the last of the Norman lords of
the marshes. His residence is New
port Castle, where it is proposed to
build the cats memorial.

Gay Paree
Forgets Style
CBy Associated Press.)

LONDON, Dec. 29.-Paris women are
changing their gait.
Says a correspondent from the
French capital:
TN nothing has the woman of Paris,
whose silhouette is copied all over the
world. changed so much as in her
walk. A short time ago she wriggled
her way along and her anatomy ap-
ueared to be of the strangest. Today
she is gradually slipping back into her
old habit of tripping, and it suits her
swpeh better. Her figure is taking on
Its old familiar lines, and the nat
chest is likely to disappear with the
zxngraeeful wriggle.
when the old writer's spoke Of a
aeautifuI daughter OF France the
Imagination pictured something very
different from the quaint little people
who have grimaced the boulevards OF
Rate wears, and it is quite probable that
with the return of peace we shall see
a return of the old type Frenchwo-
uren In all classes. And the revival
vii benefit not only France, but the
wvr3d in general, for what the French
woman does today the women of all the
civilized world do tomorrow"

War Blinded Reason.

And the same gazette continues: "A
year ago the German emperor was the
recipient of messages of cheer and
comfort from every capital in Europe.
1t is, indeed, strange that in that short
space of five months all that was good
and noble and great in German life
and German thought seems to have
been forgotten by her many enemies.
Yesterday the German universities at
tracted the talent and genius of the
world; today German intellectual life
is vilified by the very ones who so re-
Gently considered themselves privileg-
ed to be able to enjoy the spirit of
German culture. So war blinds reas-
on"
Yes, indeed, war did blind the reason
of the Germans and made them the
authors of atrocious acts; war abol-
ished in them the sense of justice to
such degree that despite rebuffs, they
seek again to justify the crime of which
Belgium suffers.
The man who is lamenting today in
the Stats Zeitung on poor, isolated
Germany did he not write that "the
life of a single German soldier is
worth more than the whole city of
Louvain, with all it's relics and all its
treasurer" There you have German
thought, German virtue, German Gull
ture!

troubles with which it has been bur-
dened and from which it has found no

At some length the comptroller re-
counts the activities of governmental
agencies to aid the financial and bust
ness world during the stress at the
outbreak of the European war. He
covers practically the same ground as
Secretary McAdoo did in his recent re-
port to congress. The remainder of

German and French War Views
Germans Now Doubling
Promises of Triumphs,
Soys French Courier

(From the Courriers des Etats-Unis.)
NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-We have had
several times to our readers the num-
erous signs showing that doubt is be-
ginning to invade our enemies hearts.
The papers of Germany do not an
nounce any more che capture of Paris;
much to the contrary, they forecast a
long and difficult war. They do not
represent any more Germany as being
a granary Of plenty, ready to swamp
her armies with food and war material
On the contrary, they recommend con-
servation of the empires resources
through a judicious use of the least
refuse and a saving in ordinary flour.
The economic blockade of Germany
which resulted in the supremacy of the
seas obtained through the superiority
of the Anglo-French naval forces, is
not absolute; but it is sufficient to
make it's effect felt, and to create
among our enemies noticeable dearth
of necessities and Industrial raw ma
terial. That dearth would have been
today very serious if the allies had ap-
piled the military necessity" princi-
pie; they preferred to take into ac-
count the neutral countries needs and
the exigencies of the acknowledgement
nations commerce.
Germans Begin to Doubt.
The people who, for A years, were
told they were invincible, are asking
now why there are no victories. Doubt
is filtering into German hearts. From
this side of the Atlantic moral defeat
has added, crushingly and definitely,
its humiliating consequences to mill
tary receptions. All! 1t is now we'll
behind us, the day when Ambassador
Won Bernstorff was announcing that
Germany chad definitely defeated the
Anglo-French allies on land;" it is
well behind us that day when a Ger
man newspaper of New York, on the
anniversary of the battle of Sedan, was
proclaiming that the Germans were ''in
possession of Paris" and that France
was Inundated as a nation" Yes, all
that is we'll behind us in the past, and
today poor Stats Zeitung sees German
families gathered around Christmas
trees wondering when our beloved
Germany will ever again enjoy the
happiness of peace. Will it be to-
morrow, or must days or months OF
years elapse before the nations will
understand that they cannot crush the
proud spirit that animates the entire
Teutonic world?"

Governor Cole L. Blease has not

there will not be prisoner left TWEEN
