Savings Accounts
Increase In Atlanta

Special to The Leader Enterprise.
Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 11.-That
Atlanta folk are not so hard up
as might be supposed is indicat-
ed by the remarkable showing of
the savings banks, which have
an unusually heavy list of de-
posits. Several bankers have
commented on this, and at the
American national it was stated
that the deposits since January
l had broken all records. 1t is
generally believed that a bit of
hard times" results in savings
deposits being drawn down to
the minimum, but this has prov
ed to be untrue in Atlanta.
The predicted bankruptcies at
the first of the year have failed
to materialize, also, no firm of
any Importance having failed.
There has been no unusual list
of failures even among the small
er concerns. The two leading
commercial agencies here have
given out most encouraging state
ments of business conditions.

EMPLOYMENT BUREAU
NATIONAL IN SCOPE
Will Be Put In Operation
Next Week.

Washington, D. c., Jan. o.
A National Employment Bureau
reaching into every section of
the United States will be put in
operation by the Department of
Labor next week. It will be
operated along the lines of Presi-
dent Wilson's suggestion in his
Indianapolis speech for ''syste-
matte method of helping the
working men of America"
Preliminary work for the bu-
reau has been completed, it was
announced tonight by Commits
sioner Camineti, of the immigra.
ton Bureau. Instructions have
been sent to postmasters and
rural mail carriers throughout
the country and nearly 100000
field agents of the Agricultural
Department who will cooperate
with the Labor Department in
bringing the jobless man and the
manless job together. Agents
of the immigration Bureau also
will aid in the huge task.
The general plan was outlined
by Mr.. Caminetti as follows:
Notices will be posted in all
postoffices announcing that appli-
cations for work or workers will
be received by the postmaster,
who will be supplied with forms
to be filled out and forwarded to
the Labor Department agent in
charge of the zone in which tt e
office is located. The distribu-
ton branch of the immigrant SER
vice will handle that part of the
work and to it also will go re-
lports of the Agricultural Depart
ment's agents as to sections
where laborers are needed. Ap-
plicants will then be informed of
the nearest point where they can
lobtain work of the kind they
Iseek.
| Commissioner Caminetti said
the plan had been tried out in a
small way and the results had
been most satisfactory. After
the fire at Salem, Mass. last
June, when nearly 1000 factory
operatives were thrown out of
employment, the Labor Depart
ment succeeded in finding work
for many of them.
By coincidence, he said,
Secretary Wilson of the Depart
ment of Labor approved only yes
terday, the date of the Presi-
dents speech, the final report
made to him by Mr.. Caminetti,
announcing completion of the
place.

London-The omission from the
German official report of any refer.
ence to Scissors, the scene of the re-
cent marked German success, and the
French statement that there has been
no change in that region, leads to the
belief that renewal of the violent
struggle there is impending. the TEN.
porary quiet being due to the fact that
neither side cares to risk an offensive
in the present circumstances.
So fierce has the fighting been
about scissors that the Germans have
been using the family vaults in the
cemeteries as forts.
At widely separated points else
where OF the western front there have
been engagements, but the weather
again is playing an important part.
The storm in Belgium prevents oper-
ations, except artillery duels, and
snow in the Vosges, at the other ex-
tremity of the line, makes attacks ex-
ceedingly difficult.
In the Argonne, however, fighting is
almost continuous, and each side
claims minor successes. For the time
being the Germans seem to be more
on the offensive than the defensive.
The German reports of all the east
ern operations are very brief, but
those of the Russians are more in de-
tail, and it is believed the Russians
are again menacing East Prussia and
Posen.
The Turks, according to reports,
have been dealt another staggering
blow after their determined stand in
the snow at Kara Urgan, in the eau.
sasus. They are fighting rear guard
actions, but are being pressed back to-
ward Erzerum in great disorder.

SHORT APPROPRIATION BILL.

Denver.-The short appropriation
bill carrying $397,s56.40 was intro
duced in the State Senate by Senator
Hasty. 1t provides for the running ex-
penses of the state for December,
1914, and January, February and
March of this year. The bill calls for
about $15O.000 less than in 1912, but
the saving to the state is only 10000.
This item is found in the expense OF
printing initiative and referred bills,
which was 100000 less than two years
previous. The present appropriation
measure does not carry a defense
fund" item of $4,000 which appeared
in the 1912 bill This will be provided
