BANKS AID SOUGHT
BY NJ AD00 TO END
MONEY BOARDING
Secretary of Treasury, in
Telegram, Asks New
York Institutions to Take
Initiative.

WASHINGTON, Sept 25.-Urging the
unselfish and patriotic cooperation of all
the banks of the nation in meeting un-
usual financial conditions caused by the
European war and asking that New York
banks take the lead in stopping hoard
ing of money and charging of excessive
interest rates, Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo today telegraphed the chairman
of the Clearing House Associations of
New York, Chicago, Boston and st. Louis,
declaring that he has received complaints
about the high rates of interest which
are being charged by the national banks
Of New York Boston, Chicago and other
reserve cities.
at is alleged that New York banks are
requiring correspondent banks throughout
the country to pay Z per cent. for loans
and to maintain a balance with the New
York banks, which makes the money cost
the correspondent banks the equivalent
of per cent. or more the telegram
read. "If New York charges the cquiva-
lent of S per cent. interest to the corre-
spondent banks of the South. the South
western banks must, in turn, charge a
still higher rate to the small banks which
are their correspondents, thus making the
money cost the ultimate borrower very
high, If not cXorbitant rates.
From all the evidence before me, I
cannGt feel that the charge of to per
cent. interest by the New York banks is
justified by the circumstances"

Hicks, County Chairman J. Lee Plummer
and nearly all the local Republican
leaders.
After a brief reception they were es-
corted in automobiles to the Altoona
High School. where 1900 boys and girls
marched into the auditorium. DIR. Brum-
baugh gave the students a heart 10
heart talk. He advised them to stick to
school and make the most of their time
while they were in school. He called at
tention to the fact that If all the school
children in Pennsylvania We're to form a.
column ten abreast they would form an
army 72 miles long.
1T would be the Erandest army that
ever marched under any flag" he de-
clared.

dates were the guests OF the school

he ever ate.

LEADER MANN OPPOSES
DEMOCRATS WAR TAX BILL
Republican Says Extravaganza Made
the Measure a Necessity.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Responsiblity
for additional taxation legislation was
attributed to President Wilson by Repub-
lican Leader Mann today in a speech in
the House attacking the war tax bill
IF the President will stop the eXtrava-
Ganck of the Government and practice
as well as preach economy" said Repre-
sentative Mann, there will he no need
for increased taxation. | deny that such
a need exists, and assert that the Gov
eminent can he run without embarrass-
ment If 1t will exercise economy.
The present Democratic Administra-
ton has been more grossly eXtravagant
than any Administration which preceded
1t. These larger appropriations have been
made in response to n demand of Admin
istration officials, but ii is not too late
for the President to order the officials
under him to practice economies, and
many of the appropriations already made
do not need to be expended, at least
for the present
Mann charged the Underwood tariff act
had turned the balance of trade against
the United States.
Representative Hammond, Democrat of
Minnesota, maintained the Democratic
line of defense, that the bill was caused
solely by the European war and the con-
sequent falling off in customs duties, He
said:
The House has an unpleasant duty to
perform in levying additional taxes, but
the war abroad has cut out revenues, and
the duty must be performed. Patriotism
demands the passage of this bill"
Representative Payne, Republican, of
New York, told the Democrats, ''You
are hoping that this war will get Won
out of hole into which you have fallen
because of your mismanaEement"

On this new development OF the bat
tie, already in progress for 12 days,
much depends. II the Allies are sue
cessful they will force a speedy retreat
of the Germans that must carry them
back to the lines of tn Meuse and
north into eastern Belgium.
Meanwhile the French centre is again
active. 1t was announced that the Ger
man bombardment of Rheims and it's
noted Cathedral has been resumed
Shortly afterward it also was stated
that the French centre was advancing
cast of Rheims, indicating that the real
cause for the renewal Of the lombard
ment has been the assumption of the
offensive by the French The reason
for this undoubtedly is desire to
create diversion which will aid the
chain of French forts along the Meuse
between verdun and Toul which are
under severe pressure at the present
time.
The German army commanded by the
Crown Prince is reported to have sue
ceeded in occupying Tarennes on the
Aire River, almost directly west Of
verdun. This movement, It is believed
here, was to prevent the French forces
relieving verdun, which has now been
under siege more than week.
1t was emphatcally denied at head
quarters, however that by this move
ment the French centre has been
broken. Instead, it is declared as solid
as ever, and it is asserted that another
movement, details of which are sup
pressed is already in progress which
will have important results in the near
future.

assaults on the fortresses Of verdun
The bombardment is described as even
more vigorous than that at Liege
Gigantic German siege guns, sent for
around Metz, are being ranged upon
the uplands around the French city
and are sending in a tornado of shells.
More than 5000 shells, each about five
feet long and nearly II inches in diam
eter, are being hurled against the Yer
dun forts every "a hours.
The cannonade goes on night and
day. Trained gunners, whose life
work has been the study of scientific
artillery fire, are at the German front
at Verdun directing the bombardment.
The Germans have more than 100
heavy guns in action there, not count
ing the light artillery which is being
used against the French troops when
they make sorties.
The French troops have constructed
a series of elaborate redoubts. De-
fensive works have also been erected
for the protection of the batteries upon
the hills.
Rows of scarchlghts have been
erected on the heights around Verdun,
and at times as these pencils Of light

Counting the fresh works, -'hich
were erected to repel the German at
tack, there are no less than Is forts
around Verdun. on both sides of the
Meuse River. The most of these are
fortresses of the first class, which were
erected when the German advance
against the city began. They are pro-
tected with the finest artillery in the
French army and the garrison contains
an army in itself.
1t was learned at the War Office to-
day that the French have captured
five aeroplanes, although the location
of this exploit was not divulged. The

cavalrymen entered a clearing where

round up the lot, but the German air
men drew their magazine pistols and
began firing Twelve cavalrymen were
killed before the avtators were over
powered and the aeroplaues seized.
