as we imagine. unconscously, this ia not
entirely true. 1t does not only REQUIRE
energy to take the step, but 1t reouires the
initial impulse of energy for the idea before
we begin the actual act. And while the act
itself Is more or less without premedjtation.
the initial impulse is the cause OF the act.

ANOTHER ROCK ISLAND FIGHT,

severely criticised by Nathan l.. Ans.
ter, representative on the present board
Of directors of the opposition to the

by Harris, Forbes & Co. yesterday to
be necessary at this time because here.
tofore the bondholders' committee has
not actually had any bonds TO look
after.
In criticis.ng the cali Mr.. Amster
said:
THE call Of a committee for the de-
post of Rock Island ~refund!ng I per
cent. bonds at this time is certainly un-
necessary. The interest on these bonds
was promptly paid October I. can
see no reason for expectation of
any default or these bonds IN the
future. ! made every effort to persuade
the committee to postpone this call and
rot attack the company's credit or EN-
barrass the directors before their first
meeting. next week.
"Why a committee that was organ
lied last June and did not call for the
deposit OF bonds at that time should
now, just after the semi-annual inter-
est has been paid. decide to send out
a cali for deposit is beyond my compre-
honsion.
"Some OF our committee look upon
this movement as an unfriendly act
toward the stockholders, inspired, they
claim. by the old MANAGEMENT. But my
own opinion is that the committee has
been badly advised"

NATIONAL CITY BANK
EXPANDS TO ORIENT
Controls international Bank
ing Corporation, With $37,-
59O,O46 Assets.
GETS SIXTEEN BRANCHES

The National City Co., a corporation
formed and controlled by the National
City Bank. has purchased the control
ling stock Of the International Banking
Corporation. This was learned yester-
day on the highest authority. The con-
trolling stock Of the banking corporation
was recently acquired by J. s. Bache,
but 1t Is reported in banking circles that
Mr.. Bache acted somewhat In the ca
pacity OF a broker In the transaction
and that the price received from the Ma
tional City Co. for the stock was only
slightly above the price he paid for IL,
$3.50.
The securing OF control Of the Inter-
national Banking Corporation by the
National City Bank indirectly through
the National City Co.. means a great
deal to the bank in Its campaign Of
expansion I'm foreign trade fields and in
the extension OF Its branches. The In
ternational Banking Corporation has
sixteen branches scattered all over the
world. These are al going concerns.
The acquisition of the sixteen branches
permits the National City Bank to enter
at once into active competition with
many OF the big British banks in the
race for foreign trade and business.
The step taken by the National City
Bank is looked Upon as one OF the best
that has been made IN the banking
line for many years.

unsettled condition OF the exchange mar
ket and the abnormally high prices for
sterling bills. London, the great money
market OF the world. was temporarily
out of the field. The Nationa! city Bank
seized the opportunity at once. South
America was seriously affected By the
upset in sterling exchange and the city
Bank at once arranged TO establish
branches In the larger republics there
and to establish dollar exchange. As "A
result the City Bank o has several
thriving branches in South America,
notably in Rio de Janelro. Buenos Ayres
and Santos. Preparations are under way
for the opening OF other branches.
The acquisition OF the International
Banking Corporation. however. opens an
entirely new field for the bank. The
