Comptroller Holds Directors Response

Washington (SpeciaD: John Skelton

National Bank of Commerce, New

certain losses sustained by the bank
through stock transactions. The d.

What the amount involved was
could not be ascertained here, but
Washington was not so much interest

action seems to indicate on the part of
the comptroller's Office.
The losses which the Bank of Com

resulted from transactions or invest

tended were without authority in law.
They did not constitute violations Of

Surely she did not know how awful II is
to have a nice, clean room and about
night the men come in with mud so
thick on their shoes that there is enough
to scatter all over the room. But men
who use these many different machines
OIL their farms do not bring in mud.
For instance when Betty's Uncle Jimmy
got that International motor truck he
was compelled to improve the roads
around his farm before he could use it.
This got all his neighbors to improving
their roads. So the mud around Uncle
Jimmy's place was not so plentiful after
he caught the Harvester spirit.
Mary Lee did not see much of the
show that afternoon. She was thinking
of that picture of the Model Farm She
was wondering if that little cabin of
Johns could be made into modern
farm house someday! She thought and
wondered and dreamed.
Late that evening John Woodruff
drove in town for Mary Lee. They had
to hurry home and Betty did not get to
say anything more to her dearest friend
about farm life

"But machines cost loads and loads of

"Yes, all machinery costs money"
Betty philosophical You can buy it on
credit and soon pay for it. Buy one
small machine at time. Pay for it,
then save up enough money to buy
another. The more of these wonderful
international Harvester machines a
farmer has, the less heavy work has he
and especially does he need them in
short seasons.

oagements Engage Troops.
Paris Especially: Diminished activity
the past two days in western Europe
has been unusual, but have been mark
ed by two significant operations. The
Germans opened fire with their neavy
guns upon the French line north of
Scissors, in the section where the Ger
mans in the middle of last month
scored their only important successes
since they took root in northern
France. The bombardment of the
French line suggests that the invaders
are preparing to make another on
bent the French line back about
eighteG~ hundred yards January 10.
II is not considered likely however,
that attacks in this quarter can pro-
duce material advantage for the
kaisers troops.
The only other infantry movement
was an attack by the Germans in the
bitterly contested region of Beausijour
In the Champagne district The
attack was repulsed. Elsewhere, from
Arres to Rheims and from Argenne to
the Vosges there were artillery COM
bats but no infantry fighting.
The other operation Of interest
marking a period of lessened activity
was the victory won by British troops
between La Bassee and Bethune. For
many weeks the Germans maintained
themselves in a brick yard which
which dominated road between the
Germans ba'e at La Bassee, and the
French base at Bethune. A detach-
ment of British troops stormed and
captured the German position and
drove them to a second line. Probably
the most violent attacks delivered by
the Germans in northern France have
been against the British troops. Each
side has given way only to swing back
to it's original position.
London, Feb. S.-Petrograd reports
news from Warsaw that the
Germans west OF the BZura ana the
Ravka are withdrawing to position
occupied west of LodZ, in the early
part of December, and that the retire
ment is the first stage Of general
retreat from Poland.
The latest news of the situation on
the short thirty miles west of Warsaw,
Is confirmatory of the announcements
Of breaches in the German line. Ac-
cording to dispatches from Petrograd,
the Russians have made further ad-
vances along the Bzura in the move
ment designed to turn the German left
flank, and have crumpled the German
center by fierce attacks on the Ravka,
south of the Bzura line. 1t is reported
that the Germans were saved from
complete rout only because of the in
mense numbers of heavy guns they
had in support of their infantry.

Governor for 30 DAYS.

In place of levying two million dol
lars every two years, j make you this
statement. car and | give you n faith
ful promise, II / am elected governor
OF the state OF Idaho, the taxes have
got TO be reduced just one-half. and
then, understand. II you will follow
that thing up just two years more,
there Will be no necessity of levying
state taxes for any purpose "-Extract
from address delivered by NJ. Alexan-
der at Star.
The confessed failure of Mr.. Alex
ander should teach the people of Idaho
a lesson. He has been governor Just
thirty-nine days and has found that
he cannot give the affairs of his office
that personal attention which he prom
ised. He has also found that. as ex-
Governor Hawley said during the cam
paign, that the governor of this state
is practically helpless to save money.
IL Will be remembered that the speech
made by MIR. Hawley was so truthful
that prominent Democrats prevailed
upon him TO change It. The speech
dealt with the heiplessness of the gov
ernor. At the same time Mr.. Alexan-
der was prancing up and down the
state telling what he would do as gov
ernor, In his speech at Star, and all
his speeches were the same, he did not
ask for support, a Democratic legisla-
ture or the election OF the balance of
the state ticket He was profoundly
indifferent to everything except the
election of Alexander. The Democrats
and thousands Of Republicans swal-
lowed the Alexander promises.
MIR. Alexander. before election, had
and exaggerated opinion Of his own
greatness and the greatness Of the Of
flee to which he aspired and n supreme
ignorance OF the laws OF the state. The
result Is that he and his friends will be
squirming and twisting during the en-
tire administration In an effort to make
his performances square with his
Dromises-Caldwell Tribune.

Praises BOrah.

Senate Republicans chose wisely in
designating Senator Borah to take nm
on their behalf the challenge OF Presi-
dent Wilson's remarkable jackson day
speech. The remarkable way In which
ne Idaho senator flayed the phrases
and the policies of our phrase-makinp
president reveals a campaigner fully
able TO handle Wilson rhetoric and re-
calls to many minds the prophecy of
Colonel George Harvey. made more
than a year ago, that the next Presi-
dent OF the United States would be
William e. Borah. II is not surprising
that the Washington correspondents
agree In calling the speech the most
impressive criticism of the administra-
ton yet heard in congress-"
But In his discussion of Mexico Sen
ator Borah rises above the plain of
craftsmanship and speaks the language
or rue ~Americanism. Hear him.
Il am DESTROYS of peace with Mexico:
i want no war; and l know we shall
never take any part of the territory of
that republic, but above and beyond
that fact. we should It least protect
our W citizenship, securing our wo-
men against ravishment and murder
at the hands of those ~ferocious men
who prey upon u nationals wherever
they find them In their territory. There
are some things which are dearer TO
me than peace.
Mr.. President, the mistreatment of
American citizens In Mexico is due to
the fact that there has passed into the
Mexican mind a firm belief that we
VIII not protect our citizens, and Lay
whatever criticiSm shall come Ito me
from those who love peace more than
they love honor. that the flag which
VIII not protect it's people is a dirty
rag that communicates the air In which
IL floats We cannot have peace, we
cannot have honor unless we are pre-
pared to protect our own citizens, and
| believe, verify believe, that we may
do so and still have no wal with Mex
leo"
Speech like this makes red -blooded
Americans hold up their heads again In
hope that In 1916 If not before, we shall
witness an end of conditions across
the border that have for two years
made many men In this country
ashamed of the name American. The
Idaho Senator has outlined Il Mexican
policy which we believe his fellow
oountrymen, regardless of party. will
indorse by popular vote at the first
opportunity either under his leadership
or that of some other American no less
courageous.-Boston Transcript.
