Warns Against New State Banks.

A warning that there are an alb.
normal number OF banks being incor.
porated in the state by inexperienced
persons threatening the bank guar.
anty law, is sounded in the answer
filed in district court by the state
banking board to the writ OF man
damus obtained against the board by
the Central State bank of Omaha.
which was refused character July 5.
The answer OF the board. filed a day
after the time set In the writ. is the
first public statement that body has
made regarding its action in recently
refusing charters to state banks. The
answer is prepared by Attorney Gen.
eral Reed. who with Governor More
head and Auditor Smith, comprises the
board. The banking board declares
that banks should be restricted to the
commercial needs of their respective
localities. but that, on account OF the
guaranty fund large sums of money
are deposited in Nebraska banks by
other banks and persons outside the
state--a fact that might prove dis.
astrous in case Of stringency.

Predict Attack on American Trade.

Washington.-A general European
attack upon Americas unprecedented
gold reserve and foreign trade at the
close OF the war is predicted in a
statement submitted to the house Judi
ciary committee by the national fore.
ign trade council, urging passage Of
the Webb bill to permit American
combinations in the export trade.
Pointing out that the present enor-
nous export business is due largely
TO an abnormal war demand, the coun-
Gil says the liberty to cooperate. which
rivals and customers of American
firms have enjoyed has produced high
ly organized selling agencies and that
the United States can not hold its
position in the world of business IL
Europeon industrial and government

tition is to continue.

CALL U-BOAT PERIL
ALLIES PROTEST AGAIN ON
WAsHiNGToN'S RULING.
Claim Decision Holding Subsea Liner
az Merchantmen Places United
States In q Grave Position.

Washington. July 2l.-In accordance
ments, Sir Cecil Spring-Ilice, the Brit
ish ambassador, and NJ. Jusserand. the
French ambassador, set forth to the
state department the reasons why the
United States should not regard YES
sells OF the Deutschland type as mer-
chnntmen.
The reasons nre rs follows:
THAT submarine merchantmen cam
not he Overhauled and visited and
searched, rs Is possible In the case OF
surface craft, because of their ability
to dive and escape.
THAT such ships, because OF their
submersibilty. are able to evade mu-
nlcipal law with specific reference to
customs, quarantine. etc.
THAT such ships can be transformed
with ease from merchantmen into war
ships.
THAT in case Of war between great
maritime state and smaller nation
the latter would have the right to pur-
chase submarine merchantmen, and
when the ships arrived at the port OF
the purchaser they could be provided
with guns and torpedoes and sally
forth to attack the enemy ships.
THAT refusal on the part OF a
state to sell submarine merchantmen
could be regarded as an unneutral
act"
The allies are especially anxious for
the United States to change its ruling
In the case Of the Deutschland because
of their expectation that the central
powers will launch large number OF
these craft and utilize them for the
purpose Of obtaining supplies Of raw
materials which they need in order to
continue the war. They point out.
moreover, that It is of prime import
for the United States not to set a
precedent which may cause It serious
concern In the future.

IL is probable that mobilization

The splendid sanitary condition OF
Camp Llano Grande is indicated by
the fact that with more than 10000
men tented together, not single case
of typhoid, malaria or other serious
disease has yet developed. The rea-
son for this remarkable record Is found
in the care taken with the camps
water supply and the disposition OF
the refuse. Every drop OF water Is
filtered, and most Of the drinking water
is boiled. The water, now delivered
three times a day In tank wagons,
will soon be piped through the COM
pany streets.
The farm contributes more to the
living of the man who owns his farm
than to the tenant, according to a
survey made by the College of Agri-
culture in eastern Nebraska. An av-
erage Of the figures shows that the
tenant farmer gets $4lS from the farm
while the owner who operates his
| farm gets $525. The increase to the
| owner comes in the increased value
OF the house and the increased sup.
| ply OF fruit, wood and honey. In
western Nebraska. the relationship ia
the same, but the average farm con.
tributes somewhat lass.
