Peace In Future

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-The belief
that 100 years of peace between the
United States and Great Britain are
an augury for the future of the peo-
pie of the world is expressed in a
cablegram sent today by Theodore
Roosevelt, as honorary chairman of
the American Peace Centenary COM
mittee, to Earl Grey, president of the
British centenary committee. Roose-
velt's dispatch, which is in answer
to a recent communication expressive
of good will from the British COM
mittee follows:
Earl Grey, London:
"On behalf of the American Peace
Centenary committee I beg to
acknowledge your cable on behalf of
the British peace centenary commit
tee. We most cordially reciprocate
the feeling therein expressed. We
believe that 100 years of peace be-
tween these nations are an augury
for the future, not only as far as they
are concerned. but for the future and
as far as the people of the world are
concerned 1t is indeed a happy cir
cumstance that the two nations are
able to celebrate in this fashion the
Tooth anniversary of the treaty OF
Ghent.

presented a resume of the building op-

time that in attaining the figure of

equalled. In most respects 1913 was a
phenomenal year. 1t was not expected

In the year that ended last night at
midnight, according to figures secured
from Building Inspector H J. Mann,
1913 still remains a record, but 1914 ex-
oeeds the building operations of 1912 by
over $4,000.
The foregoing figures represent the
valuations given in the permits issued
from the office of the city building in
spector during the past three years.
Unfortunately, as in other years, there
are no means of determining just how
much building there has been carried
on out in the suburbs of the city, which
building is really a part of the city S
development. BY many it is believed
that these operations would approXi-
mate at least one-h half the valuation of

LONDON, Dec. 31.-The New year
finds belligerent Europe after five
months of war, fighting as sternly as
at the beginning, be seemingly with
out prospects of immediate big victor
les which the combatants set as their
task. The Austrians have again been
driven out of the greater part of Cali
cia, according to a Vienna statement,
and the Russians have crossed the Car
pathians d third time, but in Poland,
where a more important battle is in
progress, the armies of the Russian and
German emperors are still fighting for
the banks of the rivers which inter-
sect the country between the upper
Vistula and the Pilica rivers.
In Flanders and France there has
been a lull in the fighting on most of
the front, disturbed occasionally, how
ever, by artillery fire, infantry attacks
and counter attacks.
An official statement received from
d Berlin wireless says:
Since the war began and up to the
end Of the year, We still stand firm on
the old German watch, waiting for
what the future has in store for US. We
are still united. No enemy can force
us apart in spite of rage or hypocricy

is Paid Out
OLD EMPLOYEES
ARE CONTINUED
Feeling of the Community
Brightens as Oldest Bank
ing Institution Begin $
Business After Seven
Weeks of Suspension

Five hundred citizens of Phoenix
gathered around the doors of the
Valley bank yesterday morning to
cheer the opening of the institu-
ton and give their best wishes for
its success to the men who have re-
habilitated the oldest bank of the
Salt River valley. When the doors
swung open for the first time since
November 10, when they were closed
by the state bank examiner. the
crowd cheered and applaudod. and
many depositors who had been wait
ing for some time. rushed to the re-
ceiving tellers window and began
paying in money, thus demonstrate
ing their faith not only in the in
stitution, but in the section and state
which will support it, and which looks
to it for a means of upbuilding ma
terially in the immediate years
At the close of the first days busi-
ness a balance was shown that con-
slderably more money had been paid
into the bank than was taken out
by depositors. In fact, the number
of folks who drew out money was
surprisingly small, and in many cases
represented those who had checks
issued to them on the bank prior
to the suspension of business. The
fact that they were able to cash
these checks for their face value
was one of the strongest features of
the day.
Among the officials of the new
bank who were on and to greet the
many who have for years done busi-
ness with the Valley bank were
Lloyd T. Christy. formerly cashier
of the Valley bank, and P. T. Slay
back, formerly Assistant Cashier
These two gentlemen, with manv
other former employees, will continue
with the organization and thus con-
tinue the hold it has on the public
love in this section.
Mr.. Christy issued the following
letter to the depositors of the bank
which was made public yesterday:
The Valley bank reopens its
doors with sufficient capital and cash
on hand to meet all the demands OF
the depositors. 1t is great pleasure
to me to be able to announce this
to the various friends of mine VIII
were doing business with the bank
before it suspended temporarily six
weeks ago
"The people who are associatine
themselves in the bank are men oi
great means. and there will be suf
ficient funds to meet all the banking
requirements of the banks custom
ers when adequate security is offered
Il would earnestly beg you to con
tinue your account with us and we
will do our very best to treat you ir
the future as we have in the past.

PHOENIX, Arizona, Midnight, De-
cember 81 1914.-Booze died rather
tamely in Phoenix, the capital of the
newest dry state just moment ago.
Really, the stage of inebriation at the
tolling of the twelve bells, was much
less advanced than the observers of af-
fairs had predicted With horns cow
bells, squaWkers and similar makers of
noise, the old year died, and the new
one came in. That Chief of Police
Brsbois had every available man on
the job all evening, did not show in the
brutal arrests which had been foretold
by those who surveyed the death of
King Alcohol with more satisfaction
than foresight.
A good percentage of Phoenix was on
the streets. Theaters, cafes and those
several public places which usually
form the nuclei of New Years gather
ings, We're prequented to huge extent.
No such pleasure loving crowds have
been assembled here in many a long
year.
The death of gambling in Arizona
ten years ago was just so oddly quiet
at the demise of liquor tonight. Phoe-
nix, no matter what the rest of Arizona
is doing-takes these things rather
philosophicallv than otherwise.
The celebration of the imposition of
a dry law in Arizona was not as hilar-
ious as was the demonstration which
attended the loss of the local option
law in Phoenix four years ago TINS
is interesting--and true. 1t is also OBJ
vious for while booze went down many
a hysterical throat last evening Tor the
last time publicly, it was not compelled
to cease its progress into the gullets OF
Phoenicians when the local option or
dinance was sent down to defeat as
aforementioned.
There were great crowds of watchers
in all the hotels, theaters and dancing
places when that witching hour struck,
but a moment since. No special DEM
onstration was made exactly at the
midnight hour, and as this dlspatch IS
written. only the blowing of the GUS
tomarv whistles and the ringing of the
usual bells and the shouting of the
ordinary New Year greetings broke the
nights silence.
Barkeepers and their assistants
waxed most uncommon rude as the
night drew toward it's middle. "Watcha
want?" became the stock query-re-
placing the usual unctuous, yours
sir?" Jaw, l amt got time to mix any
thing-youn get straight shot if you
drink at this bari" Those were some
of the things that one heard at the
stretches of polished mahogany, where
heretofore, only the most gentlemahly
conversation was to be heard VI
course. this was a hurry-up occasion.
No one blamed the poor bar tender pc
cause he happened to be little cross
and out of sorts. Certainly he hao oc-
casion to be peeved. And the haste 10
