The senator from Texas could have
gotten this matter before the Senate in

District committee from further con-
sideration of a bill for prohibition in

Senator Smoot announced that he
would offer amendment to the rules
of the Senate providing that when a
motion to suspend the rules is made, in
order to be successful IL must have a
two-thirds majority of those voting,
and that the motion should be put

Sheppard motion. but Senator Smoot

USURIoUS INTEREST RATES
 CHARGED BY BANKS.
Comptroller Williams Gives Instances
 of Such Practices.

Washington, Nov. 26.-In reply to criticisms by the American Bankers association to his declaration that many American banks charge usurious interest rates, John Skelton Williams, comptroller of the currency, issued a statement tonight again giving in stances of such practices.
 MT. Williams said it was true that a majority of the national banks obeyed the usury laws of the various states, but that the reports rendered to him showed. as he announced in speeches and previous public statements, that this was far from being. usually true.
 'The only states where there were no national banks which admitted un- der oath in their statements of Sept. 2, 1915. that they were charging as high as F per cent. on any of. their loans were Connecticut, Delaware, Mississippi. New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont and Wisconsin," said the statement. 1t added that reports of Sept. 2, 1915, showed that 2,743 of the 1,613 national banks of the coun- try were charging 10 per cent. on some loans.
 MT. Williams suggested that here after national banks be required to print in their published statements of conditions the maximum rate of in terest charged. He expressed the hope that the associad would work with the comptroller's office to end the practices complained of.

The first part of the evi- dence, he says, was received by the committee of inquiry in the United States and the second part comes from an Armenian gentleman at Tifiis, who received it from refugees who escap- ed from regions where the events hap pened.
 ''The sufferings of the peasants and the mountaineers in the regions of Van, Mush and Sanun," Viscount Bryce says, seem to have been even more terrible than were those of the peaceful town folk described in part one of the report. Every successive piece of evidence increases the hor- TOT of the story and confirms the dreadful certainty of its truth.
 These atrocities were not produced by imagination. Many of them are vouched for by several coincident testimonies. They are all in keeping and the evidence Is most complete and some of it most terrible. At this present phase of events the civilized world is powerless to intervene, but we must bear these unspeakabIe crimes in constant memory against the day of reckoning

EXTENSION OF CAPACITY OF CANADIAN MUNITIoN PLANTS
To be Financed by Financial lnsti-
 tutions of the Dominion.

Ottawa, Ont, Nov. 26.-Announce- ment was made today that an am- bilious munition plan is under way in Canada by which financial houses are to be called upon to join Canada an, factories on active service. It, is proposed to tremendously extend the Canadian capacity for producing pro- Jectiles; to have a very substantial proportion of the Russian, French shell orders filled in Canada and to have the business financed by the banking houses and other financial institu- tions of the Dominion.
 The plan constitutes a radical de- parture from that which has here tofore prevailed. It will mean that instead of borrowing from Great Bri- tain, Canada will make advances of credit and funds to England.
 Shell orders which have been filled or which are being filled in Canada have reached the total of $500 900 000 More than 250 manufacturing firms are engaged on the work and it is expected that Canadian firms have installed over $S0,O0O,O0 worth of spe- cfal machinery.

SIR EDWARD CARSON
 ON INTERNATIONAL LAW.
Fears It Has Been Entirely Abolished or Encroached Upon.


 London, Nov. 26, s.15 p. m.-Speak- ing as the guest of honor at the Amer ican Luncheon club today, Sir Edward Carson, former attorney general, dis cussed '&The Duty of Neutrals-"
 Sir Edward expressed the fear that international law had been entirely abolished, or at any rate greatly en- croached upon. by the impotence of the neutrals themselves. After acknew- ledging the introductory speech, which praised him as an Irishman, Sir Ed ward. said:
 T am proud to be an Irishman. but at the same time I am not a hyphen- ated Britisher."
 The speaker said he would make no startling revelau ons, for until recent lyi he had been a member of the cabi- net, at all events a part of it, though just how much of 1t he never quite knew.
 Discussing neutrality. Sir Edward said:
 s;'America is the greatest neutral at the present moment. When I mention America as the greatest neutral nat neutrals in relation to the mitigation of the horrors of war. And nothing fills me with more disnay when think of the outcome of the horrible period thFough which we are passing than the faet--I am not blaming anybody, but it is a, fact. that international law, the product of all the peace instincts of a1l nations with view to preventing interruption to civilization. even in time ofs hostilities, has. I fear, been entirely abolished, or at any rate greatly encroachad upon,, by. the inn potence of the neutrals themselves"
 Sir Edward concluded with the ex- pression- of the hope that the United States and Great Britain would be drawn closer tn. the interests of civil tza4inn and humanity.
