Old Banking Law Inadequate.
Prior 10 the start Of the Federal Re-
serve system the national banking act
was for fifty years the chief reliance
Of the country's financial and com
mercial interests. This act was an out
growth Of the Civil War and was de-
vised 20 support the public credit by
creating a currency based on govern
ment bonds. IL was well adapted for
/ this purpose. and the national banks
on the whole performed their tunc-
tions acceptaDly.
Whatever the accomplishment of ma
tional banks in the past, however, II
had long been apparent that this sys-
tenn WAS outgrown. Its inherent weak
nesses and defects were demonstrated
as early as 1873, and the famous panic
OF that year was sccentuated By the
inelsstic currency created and by the
scattered reserves. Repeated amend
ments 10 meet new conditions rem
dered the system fairly workable IN
normal times. but il always broke I'M
der stress. II complicated affairs in
1884. 1890. 1893 and 1907, and the coun-
try would have seen currency at
premium during the recent financial
crisis but for the enactment Of the
Aldrich-Vreeland emergency currency
act in 1908.
Since the fundamental weakness that
the Federal Reserve system sought 20
correct was divided reserves Of ma
tional banks, the reserve requirements
Of the new law. with resources mobi-
lized. are worthy of repetition. In
stead OF % per cent and Is per cent
held previously by the national bank
ing groups, the members Of the Federal
Reserve banks hold the following re-

AN ENGINE OF DEMOCRACY?

Since David smote Goliath with
 stone. no feat of war has been more dramatic than that of Capt. -Lieut. Otto l1Iersinp who. with g companions
 aboard the German submarine "51" piloted his underwater craft 300 miles Nviihelmshaven through carefully guarded foreign waters to the great armada in the Dardanelles. and sank at will two British battleships. the Ma stration of the power of the submarine has profoundly impressed students of naval strategy. Says the New York Mail:
 "The submersible has unquestionably effected the most revolutionary re- adjustment of the balance of power among maritime nations since the de- struction of the Spanish armada. It is the mightiest engine of democracy that the world has seen. It Is the only wea- pon yet devised that puts the smallest nation in the universe on footing with. the largest in naval warfare. Three hundred thousand dollars, or even less, will build a submarine torpedo boat of the first class, so that 40 could be built for less than the cost of building one dreadnaught. The proportion between the manning of a battleship and the manning of a submarine is as one to fifty. so that the expense of mainten- ance is in the same ratio. The sub marine will change the law of control of communication between lands"

City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, SEPT 1, 1915.

Judging from the reports brought down the river from the interior camps business and industrial conditions are about as bad as they well can be with out being utterly disrupted Business is al a standstill and industry is para lyzed in practically every camp along the entire length of the Yukon valley
 say those who have recently arrived in Nome. and. were it not that there is scarcely any community in the territory that is not already overcrowded with business and labor, the larger portion of the populace would undoubtedly mil grate to more favored localities. As it is many that are foot-loose are leaving. feeling that they cannot be much worse off regardless of where they may land, while those who are more or less bound to the locality by business ties reason that they cannot get away with out sacrificing years of effort. The reason for these deplorable conditions is given in the terse phrase "No more pay" While it may not occur to many this statement contains a vast amount of flood for reflection" for the people of Nome and particularly those who accept the view that Nome is what is variously termed "a dead one" a ''worked-out camp" or "on the bum
 If We may accept the testimony of those who have lately arrived from the interior, their first impression was that Nome was an exceedingly lively com munity. Good spirits, life, activity and a general atmosphere of prosperity was visible to the new arrivals Nome looked to them very much alive and very far from being lone the bum " Here was a visible activity that they had not seen for months in the com munities in which they formerly re- sided, so it is little wonder that one gentleman of wide experience and who is by no means a "jobbite" stated that
 Nome looked like a booming town" as
 compared to those he had lately seen
 Of course, this impression is more or
 less the result of comparison. One can
 not journey from a dull town to one

THE VITAL NEED
 OF GREAT FLEET

Attack on the United States cal come only by way of the sea. Even al attack over the northern border would involve first an overseas operation America's possession and foreign in- terests can be held or lost only by strength or weakness on the sea.
 If that line of defense were absolutely perfect, war never could be brought home to the United States
 To establish such a line of defense, the navy absolutely must be powerful enough to seek the foe and attack him. Though the military axiom that attack is the only safe defense is true of the army, as well as the navy, it is not fatal to an army to fall back. on the de- fensive, whereas it is fatal to a navy almost always.
 A defending fleet that is too weak to fight has absolutely no choice today except thus to immure itself Before the time of aeroplanes and wireless it had another alternative It could seek temporary immunity in flight, to seize
