trian Communications I'm
Gle Sam May Give Salty Answer.
(By Associated Press J

BERLIN, July 16.-The Oversee
News Agency today announced in its
dispatches that a majority of the Ger
man papers are congratulating the
Austrian government on its note to
the U. S. government protesting
against the shipment of arms to the
Allied armies by U. S. manufacturers.
Most of the papers have commented on
the note and take the same stand that
Austria does, namely that the United
States is violating its neutrality.
While the papers agree with Austria
and hope that this communication with
Washington may result in an embargo
on arms, still many of them are skep-
tical over the reception the note will
receive.
One prominent paper says THE
United States is high-handed nation
and may inform Austria in a salty
reply that she will do just as she
sees fit, That would bring on compli-
cations with that great nation"

BANK COMMISSION STATEMENT

The bank guaranty commission has
announced it's adherence to the ruling
that all state banks must keep so per
cent of their reserve in the state re-
serve banks in certain designated
cities of South Dakota, says a Pierre
dispatch. This ruling must be com
piled with before November Is. The
commission and the governor heard a
representation of bankers last week
hostile to this measure, but have not
changed their course. The bankiDg
department makes the following state
ment of reasons:
"The prime object of the ruling is
to throw about the banks every safe
guard possible with a view of ultimate.
ly eliminating bank failures among the
state banks in South Dakota. This ,e-
suit is expected to be accomplished H.
part by reason of the fact that if 50
per cent of the reserve of the state
banks is required to be kept within
state banks in South Dakota, the pun
lie examiner will have knowledge OF
the condition existing in both the &C.
posting and the depository banFs,
and, accordingly, may take such steps
or such precaution in the interest Of
the depositing bank as the condition.
may warrant.
ga second principal object of the
ruling is to require the actual deposits
and money, bringing to the citizens Of
the state to be deposited within de-
positories OF serve agent banks within
South Dakota, and as a result the az
gregate deposits Of the state will be
increased and, accordingly, the loan
ing capacity of the banks in the state
will be increased in the same proper
ton.
"Since we have a depositors' guaran-
ty law, it Is essential that every ave-
nue. of protection be used for the pro-
lection of bank deposits and thus
make failure impossible and eventual
ly. as a result, invite or entice hun

also the inauguration on the part of
factories, stores, and Offices of an an
nual physical examination for all en-.
ployees. Thousands of a%nti-tubercu-
losis associations, other societies, and
dispensaries all over the country are
expected to cooperate in furnishing
examinations for those not able to pay
a physician.
Children's Health Crusade Day on
Friday, December 10th, Is planned to
interest and instruct school children in
healthful living. Special exercises
will be held at which lectures, essays,
and playlets will be given on the sub
ject Of health. This will also be the
occasion for launching the Red Cross
Christmas Seal sale in the schools.
The elimination of the campaign
will be the sixth annual celebration of
tuberculosis Sunday. Last year on
tuberculosis Day over Zoe, 900
churches gave attention to the subject
of tuberculosis by sermons, talks, and
announcements. The governors Of all
OF the states will be asked to issue
proclamations calling attention to the
Importance of increasing the know
ledge of the public on how to avoid
consumption. Clubs, lodges, and So
cieties will also be asked to consider
the subject at a meeting either on
tuberculosis Sunday or some other
day of tuberculosis Week.

FL Paso, Tex, Jan. 11.-General
Villa gave General Scott his word that
he would prevent further border fight

The Mexican leader promised the

Hill, commander of the Carranza gar
rison defending Naco, Sonora, already
has signed the agreement.
The 5000 Villa troops passing
through Juarez on the way to Sonora
will be sent, Villa said, to Guaymas.
