GERMAN BANKS PROSPER.

Berlin, May 4-The business of the Imperial Bank of Germany in 1915 was much larger than ever before, owing chiefly to large transactions for government account. The turnover reached the stupendous total of $231.- 55O. 100000, which compares with $124,00O,OOO, for 1914, and $1O.- 0,00O,0 for 1913. Inf other words, the business of the bank has 4consid- e--aozy more than doubled since the war began.
 The earnings were also far in ex- cess sof all previous years. They amounted to 65.0O0,O00, or more than twice those of 1914. According to a law recently passed a special war tax was laid upon the Imperial Bank, in addition to the large proportion of the . earnings falling to the Treasury un- der older laws. Thus the treasury gets $47,50o. 600 of the earnings, whereas the stockholders get only $3,- s4O.O00 or somewhat less than for 1914.

 When Crooks was hurt Jim Rogers filled, the niche at second to a nicety and whena Tom Brown turned his an- k1e Lush was at hand to step in and take up the game where Tom had left off. The\ latest move in the inf1eId has been dapt. Joyce's shift of him self to second base and Rogers to third. The change seems to suit all the critics. Rogers is playing the steadiest kind of bad at the dizzy cor ner and cIouting like a demon.
