st. Paul, March 13.-The greatest
bank statements in the history of the
northwest were made this week in
compliance with the order of United
States comptroller of currency for
the condition of the banks on March
4. Banks of st. Paul and Minneap-
oils show deposits of $218, 1000, 900,
a gain OF $16,000.000 since Deem
Der and 100000 since last
March.
Enormous increases we're made in
resources and loans, and the new
ninth regional reserve bank has
stimulated a banking business. Bank
ers of the two cities declared that
never in the history Of the northwest
were conditions so favorable at this
season Of the year.
On account of the very favorable
weather conditions last fall more
blowing was done than in any pre-
vious year, the soil has been receiv-
ing the benefit of the winter moisture
and seeding will proceed in a couple

over the outlook and large shipments

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, March Especial:
The French war office explains the
essential purpose of the operations in
the Champagne district, which have
extended over the period from Feb
ruary 16, as being designed to pre-
vent the transportation by the Ger
mans of troops to Russia by keeping
the greatest possible number of Ger
man forces engaged in that region
and imposing upon them the greatest
possible consumption of war NUM-
tions.
This statement is made in answer
to that issued previously by the Ger
man government, which declared
that the allies had failed in their OBJ
jsct to break through the German
lines in the Champagne region and
that the winter battle in that district
had come to an end with the situa-
ton virtually unchanged.
The French office states the pur-
pose has been completely attained,
because with the heavy reinforce
ments the Germans failed to take adj
vantage of their position and found
ii impossible to transport troops to
Russia.
Meanwhile the battles which have
been developing in Poland and the
Carpathians give no signs of cessa-
ton, and the relative positions of the
conjecture, for the latest official
statement issued from Petrograd
merely reports that battles of ex-
treme obstinacy are being fought be-
tween the Niemen and the Vistula
rivers, near Przasnysz. and at other
points, while in the Carpathians the
allies of the Austrians have been re-
pulsed and the Germans have been
driven back in eastern Galicia-how
far it Is not stated.
The operations in the western war
zone have again been interrupted by
fog, but the British troops have been
successful in maintaining the posi-
tions recently won in the neighbor-
hood of La Bassee.
The American ambassador at Lon
don has presented a note to Great
Britain that he be advised as to the
British plan for cutting off trade to
and from Germany, and what effect
that action will have on the COM
merce of neutral countries. An iden-
teal note was sent to the French gov
eminent.
According to an authoritative
statement from London the British
reply to the American note respect
ing the entrance into Germany of
foodstuffs will be based on the view
that the subject must come up for
discussion If ii is to be a question
of Germany's conforming to the rules
Of civilized warfare" with respect to
all points, and not merely the two
suggested by the United States
Germany's abandonment of her sub
marine warfare On merchant ships,
and her mining OF the high seas.
The German government intends
to institute an investigation into the
report that the British admiralty
means to withhold from captured
crews of German submarines the Gus
tomary honorable Imprisonment con
ditions, and threatens retaliatory
measures If such restraints are i'm
posed.

PIONEER WOMAN
Sketch of the Life of the Late Mrs
VIM. Lee.

Mrs. Lee was born at Thornhill,
Scotland, sixty-five years ago. When
five years old she came with her
parents to Michigan and afterwards
settled In Wisconsin. She was mar
ried to VIM. Lee in 1869. The fol-
lowing summer Mr.. Lee came to seek
a home in South Dakota. After
travelling up the Sioux valley from
Sioux Falls through Dell Rapids and
Flandreau he, with Herman Luce,
after whom Lake Herman was named
met a trapper who told them of the
beauties of what was then known as
the Skunk lakes as called by the In
dams. Mr.. Lee, delighted with the
locality, settled on the south shore of
Lake Madison and there with logs
built the first house in Lake county.
In October he went to the end of the
railway-Sioux City-and met his
wife and baby. who were accom-
panied by Mrs. Lees mother, Mrs.
Walker. and three brothers. The
first death in Lake county was that
OF the little Arthur Lee, who was
drowned in a little pond of water
near the house on the 1st of April
after coming to their new prai-
rie home. Mrs. Lee also lost two
other sons in childhood before the
family moved to the town of Madi-
son as nov located. Mr.. Lee was for
some years sheriff of Lake county.
His death occurred in August, 1908,
and the funeral is said to have been
the largest ever seen in Lake county.
Mrs. Lee has been making her home
with her only daughter, Mrs. Mabel
Ireland. at Webster. for the past two
years and ii was there that her death
occurred last Monday.
On January 81, 1873, the first
Presbyterian church in Lake county
was organized south of Lake Madi-
son. Mrs. Lee and her mother, Mrs.
Janet Walker, were two OF the ten
members that composed the organic
alton. The organization Is still con-
tinued in Madison. and it was from
this church that the funeral took
place. The orders OF the Eastern
Star and Rebekahs attended the fu-
neral in a body, as did the members
OF the G.. A. r.. to which organiza-
ton Mr.. Lee belonged. Burial in
Graceland cemetery.

easy and expeditions way to the out
size world for the wheat fields OF Rus
STA, once the blockade of those straits
can be removed. That is precisely
why German diplomacy, in recent
years, has sought to attach Turkey to
the German interests. So the expected
happened when, at the beginning ss
the war, It grew plain that Turkey
was ready to side with Germany
whenever Berlin should give the word.
The time has come when Germany
and Austria themselves feel the pinch
of a possible food shortage, and when
Great Britain and France need all the
grain that Russia can get to them. So
the rlan for control of the Dardanelles
has become very important feature
of the fighting. The conquest of the
outer forts is only the first step. For
years Germany has been preparing for
this struggle, and every foot of the
way through the straits is protected
so far as military science can accom-
plish that task. The outer forts could
be shelled from distance; but the

ment of the Dardanelles, with the re-
duction Of the outer forts, is the first
step in movement which is the an
swer to the Russian defeat in eastern
Prussia. That the fall of Constantine

the German cause is almost self evil
dent.
The present war has become con-
test of endurance, a war of resources.
Both sides have begun a camr align of
starvation. If Russia were in touch
with the British Isles by water. the
case would be tremendously different.
But Russia has now no advantageous
outlet. Yet in the Russian empire to-
day. are great stores of grain, cut off
from any market. The price of these
grains averages from one-half to one
third of the price elsewhere in tho
world.
