germany WOULD
WARN i. S. SHIPS
Won Bernstorf Wants Lansing
to Tell Commanders Not to
Approach Teuton Subs.
COMPLIANCE UNLIKELY
Ambassador Would Have Ships Stop
Short When Ordered to Halt
by Submerslbles.

In a note transmitted to the State De.
partment by Count Won Bernstorff, the
herman Ambassador, yesterday the i'm.
perial government suggests that captains
OF American merchantmen be warned
not to turn their vessels toward subma.
rines and approach them when ordered
to stop by the submarine commander
Germany cites an instance concerning a
Dutch vessel as demonstrating the neces-
slty OF these warnings. Secretary Of State
Lansing said the United States would
probably not send out the warnings sug.
gested by Berlin.
The note transmitted by Count Won
Bernstorfr is as follows:
"A German submarine, in January last
signaled with flags from a distance the
Dutch steamer Bandoeng to stop. In.
stead OF Immediately complying with that
summons permissible under information.
al law, the Dutch steamer turned al
higher speed on the submarine, whose
commander, on the assumption warrant.
ed by the circumstances that he had Ia
do with an English ship in disguise, bent
on attacking him, then opened fire or
her.
The s. g. Bandoeng then stopped and
sent over a boat for the examination OF
the ships papers. On being asked about
his captains proceeding. the Dutch off,
GER in command OF the boat explained
that he wanted to come near the sub.
marine SO as to shorten the visitation
formalities.
THE imperial government finds in the
incident occasion to suggest to the peu.
tral governments that the masters OF
their merchant ships be given to under
stand that in the event OF their being
stopped by German public vessels the
provisions Of international law must be
observed to the letter and that their spe.
cial attention be called to the dangers
incurred by turning their ships on a
submarine. Thus alone can incidents OF
the foregoing description be avoided, the
responsibility for which would exclusive
ly lie upon the neutral shipmasters."

But Will Permit Smaller Banks to
Make Usual Charge For cashins Of
Outside checks-Small Banks Would
Be Hard Hit.

Sioux City, July 25.-Banking insti-
Clearing House Association at the
West Hotel decided to ignore for the
present the order of the federal reserve
bank to make collections Of checks at
par.
The action does not affect the Sioux
City national banks which are mem
bers of the federal reserve bank.
The action of the banks was ex-
planned in the following statement is
sued at the meeting:
"A meeting of the clearing house as
ISOLATION was held at which the general
financial condition of the country was
discussed, as was the effect of the new
orders of the federal reserve bank upon
the collection and exchange business
in the smaller towns keeping deposits
in Sioux City clearing house banks.
1T is conceded that the new order
of things will not materially affect the
banks in Sioux City or other central
cities. but it will deprive the banks in
the smaller towns of their legitimate
exchange charges, and it was decided
that the Sioux City clearing house
banks will continue to handle the bust
ness for their customers on the same
conditions as they have heretofore
handled it, and that no change at the
present will be made, but the Sioux
City clearing house banks that are
members of the federal reserve bank
will make collections upon themselves
as they are required to do, without
charges. Otherwise the business in
Sioux City will be continued as for
merly."
Information received in Sioux City is
to the effect that few of the 500 banks
in Sioux City territory will place the
new system into effect at this time.
The country banks will continue to
charge exchanges on checks altho the
charge may be reduced in some cases.
