The victories reported by the Ger

military value. because they are not
likely TO hinder the main Russian

the Russians out of East Prussia and

of Russia by that road is not prac-

New News Of Yesterday
How a Bankers Prediction
Was Fulfilled
ny Holland.

The late Frederick D. Tappen, at
the time Of his death in 1902. had gain
ed the unique distinction of having
served as an executive officer of a
New York bank for fifty years and
most of that time as president. He
was prominently identified with the
New York Clearing House Association
in times of great peril and was chair
man of the committee in 1899; had
in charge the weighing and testing Of
a hundred millions of gold which had
been received from Europe in the
course of a few months.
Mr.. Tappen was distinguished not
only for a most attractive personality,
but also because he was absolutely
free from the somewhat narrow and
professional or vocational manner
isms which he used TO say too often
characterized men who had been de-
voted all their lives to banking. At
seventy years of age, his complexion
was as fair as that Of a girl of sixteen.
He was erect, mis- shoulders showing
no sign of STOPPING. and he walked
with a step as true and steady as that
of professional pedestrian.
In the early years of his active life,
he was brought into touch with the
Treasury Department at Washington
and maintained most cordial relations
with Lincoln's Secretary of the Treas
ury, Salmon p Chase.
In this present time of financial ex-
citemeut and chaotic conditions many
of the older banks of New York re-
call distinctly some of the couusels

cial peril or of actual panic. One of
the views strongly held by him all his
