BERLIN, August 10. by wireless tele-
graph to Sayville, L. 1.-The publica-
ton of the latest statement of the
Berlin Eeichsbank makes possible
comparison with the figures of year
ago, covering a year Of the war;, the

ment given out yesterday. The state
ment continues:
The banks gold reserve from August
to II this year increased in round
numbers 100000 marks t$400.000),

marks ($601, o75.000). against 1.5OS,50O.-
900 marks ($377,125,000), thus proving
an immense influx of gold during war
time.
THE amount of commercial paper
held by the bank now is virtually the
same as last year. the figures being
4.728.4OO. marks ($1.132,100,000).
against 4,425, 900, 900 marks 81 .106,4 49,
000). thus showing that the banks
obligations remain stationary after
reaching the war level. The change in
conditions is emphasized by the fact
that last week holdings Of commercial
paper decreased 34.40o.oo0 marks (sS.--
900, 000), while last year they Increased
6ss.s00' 600 marks (S172.225. 00o).

vate deposits with the bank were

with beautiful splendor, even the
one post, added to the attractiveness
of that section of the city.
Mr.. John Flournoy, manager of the
Levy-Morton Co., has erected the post
at their expense in order to show the
people the beauty which a White Way
will lend to the appearance of Ameri-
Gus.
The entire plans for the White Way
hinges on the action of the City Coun~
cu IN Uhe mater OF maintaining the
system after it has been erected and
presented to them by the citizens and
property owners. The matter has beer
referred to the city committees on
streets and lights, and with their
recommendation it will come back t,
the entire council for action.
Americus with a White Way wouli
be city-great and grand, and the
citizenship is intensely interested in
the outcome of the matter.
The post will be lighted each nigh
at o'clock, and the people should
make it point to see the example o.
what Americas wants.
