 FINALLY DRAWN.

New York, Jan. 16.-A line of de markation between big bankers and small bankers was drawn by witnesses today before the committee on banks Of the state senate which is inyestt gating private banks to determine whether new legislation should be en' acted for their regulation.

Witnesses from big banking concerns heid that new legis latioi should apply only to small in. stitutions The hearing went over un til Thursday.

ENGLISH CRAFT IS LOST DURING MANEUVERs WITH ALL OF.
 TIGERS AND CREW.
SUNKEN VESSEL NOT LOCATED
Warships Drag Bay During Entire Day Without ResuIt-Another of Long List of Similar Naval Acci. dents in British Waters.

Plymouth, Jan. 16.-Two officers and nine men comprising the crew of the British submarine "A7" are tran. ped tonight in their craft beneath the waters of Whltesand ban five miles southwest of Plymouth. Whether inc men are dead or alive has not been established but navy officials here tonight expressed the opinion that all had perished. The exact spot where the little vessel sank could not be definitely fixed. The "A7," in company with 'he AS" and "A9" made a plunge about noon today, while en- gagged in maneuvers. Her sister ships came to the surface at the end of the maneuvers, but nothing has been seen of the "A7" since she opened her valves and dived At first it was believed the "A7'' merely was over staying her allotted lime beneath the water, but when officers realized their sister boat was in distress they sent out signals for aid.
 Rescue boats were rushed to the vicinity where the "A7" went down, threw ou. grappling irons and drag ged the bay all afternoon until dark ness set in. Their efforts were fruit less for never once was there tug at a chain to indicate that the Iron sides of the plunger had been struck.
 The grappling operations will begin at daylight tomorrow and in the hope that the submarine will be found, boat capable of lifting her to the top of the water has been added to the Whitesand bay fleet.
 The "A7" was in charge of Lieut.. Gilbert Nj. Wellman, who had as an aide another officer A number of the seamen aboard were making .heir first trip in a submarine.
 The cause of the accident is not known.
 This is the sixth British submarine which has come to grief and the ques- ton is being raised whether the gov ernment ought not to abandon this .ype of boat in favor of the more mod ern vessels of the e" and "D' class es.
 The TAT" was built in 1904 and measured 150 feet in length. Her displacement was 204 tons. Her engines developed 600 horsepow- eE which gave her surface speed of sixteen knots and a submerged speed of nine knots,
 Of the class "A" submarines which nave caused the British government losses in men through accidents were te Al" wrecked in 1904, having on board twelve men who were drown ed; the "A5." in 1905, with a loss of four lives; .he "AS," in 1906, when fifteen men perished, and the "A3," in 1919, when eleven officers and sea men were lost.
 The "A" class submarines, however. do not rank alone in disasters, for the "CS" was lost in 1907 with four men: the "C11" in 1909, with thir- teen. and the "B2" the same year with fifteen.
 Some confusion was caused today by the announcement that CAT" went down in Cawsand bay and that the depot ship Onyx had succeeded in getting into communication with the men. This confusion was dissipated tonight by report from the admiralty that the accident had occurred in Whitesand bay off the ooast nf Cornwall

WHY NOT A BOND ISSUE.

II 1t should appear desirable to cree
ate a merchant marine under govern
ment ownership and operation, for
the purpose Of carrying on commerce
with neutral nations, why should not
the funds be raised by q popular bond
issue? The people would welcome an
opportunity to invest In government
bonds at a reasonable figure. An is
sue OF 50. 900 would be subscribed
for in short order. The persons who
are anxious to see American ships on
the seas would have an opportunity to
help the good work by buying the gov
eminent bonds. The treasury would not
be drawn upon for this new enterprise.
Tho people would look with more ia
vor upon government ownership and
operation II they themselves were part
owners. They would watch the devel-
opment Of the merchant marine with
personal interest. and the government
would be the beneficiary of many
valuable suggestions. Posterity would
carry its share Of tho cost, and IL the
plan proved profitable posterity would
share the profits. The Panama canal
has been largely paid for by the people
OF this generation. although posterity
Will reap the greatest benefits. The

frayed entirely by q bond issue, extend

counts only IS. S55. 200. This IL an an
nual decrease Of about 3.3 per cent:
and while the number of animals has
been diminishing, the number OF peo-
pie to be fed on them has steadily
grown. In sheep the number decreased
IN the same period from 52.44S,OOO to
49.71S.000. or Ia per cent annually.
The number Of swine remained almost
stationary. AS q whole, these three
classes of meat stock decreased from
151.812.000 to 144.507,000. Yet the
values of the animals have increased
SO rapidly that whereas the entire sup
ply was worth, in 1910, only $1,634.-
500, 900, by 1914 1t was put in at ST.
93O.087,000. These figures all repre-
sent the departments calculations of
values on the farm. Is this loss In
numbers and gain in average values a
temporary incident, or Is 1t likely to
continue?
my guess is that it Is temporary.
That guess is based on the fact that
in seven of the nine grand geographic
divisions Of the country the proper
ton Of meat stock IL growing right
now: in two 1t is declining. The So
called Corn Belt is losing ground
somewhat, though it is still far in the
lead of all other sections; the rest Of
the country, after a long period in
which its proportion Of live stock de-
clined. Is now gaining.
Take it section by section, and the
study will convince anybody that with
in the next one. two. and three decades
there is going to be a diffusion Of the
live stock industry throughout the
country that will far more than offset
the decrease In the rather restricted
areas where specialization has been
carried so far

it said to the rose. Let m, be your

Now the rose was very plain, and
she listened to the little dewdrop be-

a soft curling petal over the little drop
until the sun had gone away.

The poor little dewdrop thought the
rose loved 1t, and nestled closer to her
and sparkled its brightest as the moon
light streamed over the garden. But the
rose only raised her proud head and
looked at the nightingale. which was
singing near her.
Am 1 not beautiful?'' she said. 81
am the only rose in the garden who
wears a jewel" The nightingale came
nearer and told her she was indeed the

The little dewdrop trembled as It lis
tened to the words of the vain rose,
and it knew that there was no love in

MORE MEAT IN FUTURE.

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside. the national farm paper pub

Welliver, Washington correspondent of
that publication, writes an interesting
article about the meat supply in the
United States. Everybody knows that
meat is scarce now, but it is Mr.. We'll
liver's opinion that in the future it
will be more plentiful. He thinks that
Uncle Sam, who is just getting started
on a detailed inquiry into the worlds
meat supplies and prospects, is in
clined to think the same way. Follow
ing is an extract from his article:
"All the statistics agree in the gem
