Great and Harmonious Meet
ing at Armory Declares
Unanimously in Favor OF
Proposition to Stand by
Re-opened Bank
OVER HALF DEPOSITS
ARE REPRESENTED
Statement Made That the
/ Course Being Taken is
Encouraging Outside Cap
ital to Come to Relief Of
Closed Institution

The meeting Of the depositors of
the Valley bank at the Armory last
night was perhaps the most har-
monious and best humored meeting,
for the size of it, ever held in Phoenix.
1t was also perhaps, unlike any meet
ing of the kind ever held before in
the world. A stranger unfamiliar
with the happenings of Phoenix
within the last week would never have
guessed that the gathering was made
up of persons who had their savings
in bank whose doors had been
closed for three days.
The object of the meeting was to
secure additional signatures to a reso-
luton TO be signed by the depositors
that, in the event of the reopenins
of the bank, they would allow so per
cent of their deposits to remain for
at least sixty days.
Not fewer than 500 persons, nearly
all of them depositors, assembled in
the armory. The meeting was called
to order by DR.. J. c, Norton, who
cautioned depositors against the sale
OF their claims against the bank, at .
discount. There was no reason, he
said. why they should lose a part Of
| their deposits.
Dr. Norton introduced Colonel Nc
Clintock as chairman of the meeting
| Colonel McChntock said that the de
posits in the bank constituted one OF
the smallest factors of the situation
He was far more interested in the
settlement of the banks affairs as d
citizen and a taxpayer. He spoke
of the Valley bank as an institution;
of what it had been to the valley, anC
| when he made the statement that il
was the heart of the valley" there
was loud applause.
He said that Attorney General Bull
| lard in the presence of Governor Hum
had declared that the investigation
which is now in progress had dis
| closed no evidence of speculation by
the bank officials with the funds OF
the institution, or that there hat
| been the slightest misuse of any OF
the funds for the purposes Of any Of
ficial
| Colonel McClintock advised against
any policy that would throw the banf
| into the hands of a receiver. Re
garding the report that among th'
assets of the bank there was bat
PAPER to the amount of $500 600, ther'
was no doubt that at least 100000
could be easily realized on this paper
| In any event, the surplus and stocf
would be more than ample to cove
the deposits If the depositors woulC
now give the bank the assistance thai
had been suggested, the stockholders
! would be able, as we'll as the depos
| itors. TO. realize something.
It was not proposed, the speaker
said. that the Valley bank should b'
merely rehabilitated, but that i

Report from Berlin Says

GAssoc1ArED PRESS DIsPArcHJ

LONDON, Nov. 12-The critical
stage of the battle of West Flanders
has been reached and the next few
days, if not hours, should produce
something more decisive than has yet
occurred. The Germans continued the
attack with all forces at their disposal
against the British and French, who
hold the line between Dixmude and
Ypres, but, with the exception of the
capture of DiXmude, which occurred
on Tuesday, and some little progress
around Ypres, they have not been able
TO make any material advance.
A French official statement this
afternoon says that all attacks have
been repulsed. The Germans are no
longer utilizing green troops in this
region, but have brought up the pick
.of their army, including some Prus-
sian guards, who attempted an often
.sive against the British, but without
success. Both sides express satisfac-
ton with the progress of the battle.
Berlin says that the attacks of the
allies have been repulsed and that
their own attack is making headway,
while in London and in Paris it is
felt that so long as the allies can
hold the line of the canal from Nieu-
port to Ypres their position is a
strong one

Outlook In The
Financial World
Is Reported Good

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 12.-Optim-
ism for the outlook in the financial,
industrial and commercial world, is eX
pressed in reports and addresses at the
opening session of the Investment
Rankers' association of America. Des-
pite the European war and the hard
ships it has caused to American in
dustry and finance, several of the spec
ulatoIs declared the future offers un-
usual promise and the low ebb of the
depression is past.
The proposal by the president Of the
organization, Charles B. Caldwell of
Chicago, that a $250O00O00 pool be
formed TO take over the stocks and
bonds thrown on the market at the re-
opening of exchanges by the panic
stricken investors, caused much dis
cussion but action was deferred. Ru-
doloh Diamant Of New York, said the
new federal reserve banks would bene-
fit both bankers and the public. He
endorsed Caldwelrs pool and said, lit
would be a fine thing if we could buy
at a bargain a large amount of Ameri-
can securities held by the foreign in
vestors." Sir George Paish, represent
ing British financial interests and the
government, was delayed but is expect
ed tomorrow.
Lively Curb Market
NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-The removal
of all restrictions, including the publ
cation of prices, was sigpalized by live
ly trading on the curb market today.
Features We're the various subsidiaries
of the Standard Oil, some of which
changed hands at prices considerably
above quotations when the market sus-
pended on July 80 because of the war.
Other stocks of an industrial and min
ing character were active, but the real
business was in oil issues. Many stock
exchange houses were represented on
the curb, and much of the days bust
ness seemed to be on investment de-
mand The better tone of this market
caused a further rise in listed stocks
of the unofficial market.

CRITICAL STAGE HAS
BEEN REACHED IN THE
WEST FLANDERS BATTLE
CRUISERS ARE SAFE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Ca-
Diagrams from the commanders Of
the cruisers North Carolina and
Tennessee brought word to the
navy department that all was
well aboard the two American
Warships in the Mediterranean,
and denied that bluejackets or
marines had been landed by the

For three days the department
has been flooded with messages
from friends and relatives of the
men on the cruisers. who were
alarmed by the published rumors
that the North Carolina had been
blown up by a mine in Turkish
waters. On account of interrupt
ed cable service there had been
no communication with the yes
