BANKING SYS I [ M |S
 CHANGED

LONDON, July 20.-By accepting deposits in amounts from one shilling upwards at 21a per cent interest with drawable on demand up to five pounds and at ten days notice over that amount. Lloyd's bank with its S80 branches, is instituting a democratic departure which will have far reach ing effects in the banking world, and become a serious competitor to the Post Office Savings Bank which has had monopoly of the small British public savings.
 It was an unheard of thing few years back for the graet Joint Stock banks, even in suburban districts. to look at an account of less than $500, but competition has become more keen recently and even city banks have so far unbent as to accept draw ing accounts of s25O without charging commission.
 This departure by Lloyds bank Is expected soon to be followed by others.

POISONED WELLS IN SOU I H
 AFRICA

CAPETOWN, July 2O.-The alleged methods of the Germans in poisoning the water supply when forced to re- treat in South Africa are thus de- scribed in dispatch from a British officer at Aus, German Southwest Africa:
 "All the wells and boreholes at Aus had been damaged and the water spoiled by putting large quantities of creosote in it. In the wells they put the creosote in a tin, which had small hole in the top through which piece of cord passed. The tin was wired to the bottom of the well, and this of course ensured a continual pol lution for a good while if the tin was not removed.
 As 1t happened, some of the wells were soon emptied and the tins thus discovered, so we soon had sweet water to drink, but for three or four days all our drinks, tea, coffee and even milk, were favored with strong carbolic boquet. We had to put up with it, though 1t was far from palat. able"
 The same writer describes the dan ger from land mines left behind by the retreating Germans: "Plateaus and mountain side were found to be sprinkled with contact mines, very cleverly buried or concealed by rocks and gravel. Generally We drove mules or cattle over the suspected ground ahead of us. Only two of the mines at Aus did any particular damage on exploding. They killed four mules and one horse and wounded an officer. Ninety-five of the mines have been dug up by the engineers, but villagers say that the Germans planted over 400, so there are possibly many more yet to be discovered. We move about in the outskirts circumspectly like cats, and take care to avoid places suitable for mines"

ENGLISH SHIPS TRYING NEW
 P ] R I

MANCHESTER, Eng July 20.- Owing to pressure to secure discharg- ing facilities at Liverpool, several cot. ton firms have been approached by owners of shipping arriving in Liver pool to divert their boats to Manches. ter. A trial was made last week with the Norman Monarch from New Orleans with 5,36s bales for Liverpool and 4.773 bales for Manchester, the steamer coming up the canal direct and discharging the whole of the cargo here. Liverpool authorities now fear this arrangement will be SC advantageous that other shippers will follow suit and use Manchester more freely thereby reducing Liverpoors income from dock dues. wharfage and ship stores.

GERMANS PLAN I ] WORK ALL .
 PRISONERS

BERLIN. July 20.-The states supervision of the agricultural re. sources of the country has been brought to a high state of perfection during the past few months. Cues. tions of credits, supplies, labor, and marketing, have all received atten- tion. In fact, every effort has been made to adapt the country to the new conditions.
 Much effort was needed to trans. form the organization of credit which so powerfully supports German agra. | rian interests, in accordance with the requirements of war.
 One of the acutest difficulties was the supply of artificial fertilizers. since the importation of nitrates and guano had ceased. The problem has been in general solved by the use of products in which use Is made of the store of nitrogen in the air. In this, as in other respects, Germany hopes in the future to be self.supporting.
 The German Farmers Supply Asso- citation, originally an agency for the purchase and distribution of a special manure, has now, at the request of the Imperial government, become the central organization for the whole supply and distribution of cattle foods and fertilizers which were seized and sent 10 Germany from the occupied districts of Belgium, France and Poland.
 The labor difficulty was also a seri. ous problem. A special organization was formed to supply labor-saving agricultural machinery to farmers, and it is stated that 100000 laborers are to be brought from the devastated districts of Poland. Prisoners of war will also be used; there are over a million prisoners in the various camps of Germany and Austria, and more may be seen in their varied uni forms, at work in the fields. The women, also, have been mobllized for agricultural labor.
 All the German cities and towns are turning to account their waste land. Cologne, for example, has made con tracts with farmers to SOW 1,50O acres with peas for the city, and to culti- vate potatoes on every available piece of ground within the city limits.

GERMAN VESSELS SEIZED BY
 ITALY

LONDON, July 20.-From the stand point of freight markets the interven- tion of Italy means a substantial in- crease in the worlds available ton mage. According to Lloyd's list, 36 German vessels and 2l Austrian yes sells have been interned since last August in Italian ports. and these ships show total of 74.000 tons. Many of the detained vessels are fine liners. The two largest are the Moltke, 12,000 tons. and the King Algert. 1O,- 500 tons both of which are at Genoa, The Bayern, 5000 tons. Is at Naples, and there are 26 ships of 1000 to 5000 tons detained in the various ports.

PT|ON II BE OPPOSED
 BY LEAGUE

LONDON, July 2O.-In reply to the continual demand of a large part of the newspapers for conscription, a committee of nonAconscrfptionists has been formed and is organizing what they call the "No-Conscription Fellowship" The leaders of the new movement are mostly officials of the Independent Labor Party or of the allied Union of Democratic Control. Their organization, they state, is "a fellowship for common counsel and action of men of enlistment age who are not prepared to bear arms in the event of conscription, whatever the penalties for refusing" The articles of membership explain further:
 "The No-Conscription Fellowship is an organization of men likely to be called upon to undertake military ser vice in the event of conscription, who will refuse from conscientious motives to bear arms, because they consider human life to be sacred and cannot, therefore, assume the responsibility Of taking human life. They deny the right of governments to say You shall bear arms and will oppose every eff. fort to introduce compulsory mNi. tary service into Great Britain. Should such efforts be successful. they will whatever the consequences may be, obey their conscientious con. vitcions, rather than the commands off governments" C.
