PLANS FOR OPENING
 OF THE VALLEY BANK
Negotiations for Re- Organization Are Still Under Way; Three Plans
 Under Consideration

1 Negotiations for d reorganiZatioi
 of the Valley Bank are still under
 way. Three plans of reorganization
 are understood to be under consider
 ation, one involving the purchase o 1 The bank by a group of Southerr California capitalists whose repre-
 sentative has recently been here
 Another plan, which, if carrie
 through, would have the backing oi
 powerful Arizona banking interests 1 outside of this city and under which
 the bank would be reorganized alonG the lines of a banking and trust com :! pany, Representatives of this pl ta are understood to be now in Phoenix l There is still third plan of reor- sanzation involving the purchase and reopening of the bank by Kansas ranking interests.
 It Is understood that the directors l of the bank. appreciative of the friendly attitude of the depositors. are prepared to execute such reason , able guarantees as may be necessary to bring about reorganization and "Void the long delay and possible friction involved in receivership. There is naturally strongly cN- pressed hope on the part of the de rositors and the public generally that ore of the above plans of reorganiza- tiCn may prove successful.
 Yesterday the following statemen. Was issued by Attorney General Bull ald and Auditor Callaghan.
 We have felt that d reorganiza- tion would result in the protection of tEe depositors' interests and also add to the standing of the Salt River valley in the financial world. We have felt that the appointment of T receiver, unless the same became lb s0lutely necessary. would be d calam . ity. not only for the depositors, bu. for the entire valley. We are satis fled that considerable material prog ress is being made in the direction of reorganization of the bank. and that there is a more hopeful outlook for said reorganization at the present time than at any time since the banks doors closed, and are hopeful that parties are being interested in the same who will reorganize the hank. open it's doors and lend to it a financial stability even greater than 1t has had in the past. We therefore intend to delay for few days the application for the appointment of q receiver in the hope that this reor- ganzation may be accomplished.
 At any time that it becomes np- parent that a reorganization is i'm possible, of course, we must act, but no one would be better pleased than ourselves if such action becomes un- necessary

RUSS FAIL To FLANK
GERMAN RIGHT WING
Dashing Cavalry Raids Of
Cars Forces Frustrated by
Occupation of How.

LONDON. Dec. s.1The army OF
Field Marshall Won Hindenburg. in
Poland, is now fighting desperately to
advance its southern front and
straighten fits line along the right
wing.
Heavy fighting is reported south
west OF Pietrkow, which is thirty
miles to the south and east of LODI.
The Russian advance along the
Nova RadOmsk line is declared to
have been halted This was a move
ment against the right flank Of the
Germans
The attempt to outfank the Germans
on the north by dashing cavalry raids
has been frustrated by the occupation
of How. within forty miles Of Warsaw.
and the German line Of communication
is now completely protected along the
Nistula-
Whether LODI has been occupied by
the Germans or is still held by the Rus
slams. IL Is evident today that the
cision.
The BerIIner Tageblatt today modi-
fies the German claims by saying: Our
victory may be considered a rupture in
the Russian lines. II can only be POSI-
lively called a victory, however, II the
russian retreat is followed by Ger
man pursuit.
IF the pursuit is successful, then the
German center is strong enough TO act
with force against the northern and
southern parts Of the broken Russian
army
The engagements southwest OF
Pietrkow and IN the vicinity Of Nova
Radomsk are for control OF a second
railroad line leading to Warsaw. Nova
Radomsk is fifty miles south OF LODI
and on the railroad leading from Cen
stochowa TO the Polish capital. Pietrkow
is tWenty-tiv miles north OF Nova
RadOmSE and on the Same railroad
Should FIetrkow be taken Il is ex-
pected the Germans would endeavor 10
advance from LODI along branch
railroad which connects with that lead
ing from Pietrkow 70 Warsaw, and this
would give them control OF al lines
leading 10 the capital OF Poland from
the west in the district south Of III,

them.
