REALTY SHRINKAGE
MUST Be MADE UP,
BANK IS INFORMED

CAMBRIDGE CITY, June 20
Stockholders of the Wayne Building
and Loan association have been called
into special meeting Thursday evening
to determine the future of the assoc
iation. Officers of the association have
been informed by State Auditor Crit
tenberger that the real estate held by
the company has deprecated in value
to the extent of from 5000 to $4,000
and this deficit will have to be made
up in some way.
The stockholders will decide at the
meeting whether to make up this loss
from the capital stock or by other
means. The assets as reported by the
board of directors are approximately
$115, 900. The depreciation as report
ed by the auditor of state would lower
these assets to below 100000, the
minimum required by law. John Mar
son is president of the company.

that on his arrival at indianapolis he
would call at the adjutant generals
office to inquire whether Richmond

regiment was now lacking a full COM

and he Is confident that such a com
pany could be recruited to full war
strength within three days

Thus the familine situation, which
was very bad before, has now
become acute in all of the states of
northern Mexico.
Warnings to Americans in Mexico
to leave the country continues to be
sent out daily by attaches of the state
department. 1t is estimated that there
are still four thousand Americans in
Mexico whose lives would not be worth
a straw if hostilities began.
Employees of the MonteZuma Copper
company, who have arrived at Doug
las, Ariz., report that about $50 Ameri
cans are being held prisoners in Cana
nea by mob of 1000. The Mexicans
have not menaced the Americans with
death, but refused to permit them to
leave so that the copper mines could
continue in operations and Mexican
laborers would not be thrown out of
work
