crest in the

To provide funds for current ex-
penses, the loan association may retain
as a commission from each interest
payment not to exceed one-eighth of
one per cent semiannually upon tho
unpaid principal of the loan. This
commission is to be deducted from the
dividends payable to such farm loan
association by the Federal land bank.
If the commissions are not adequate,
and an association does not wish to
assess members for current expenses,
it may borrow at 6 per cent from the
Federal loan bank to an amount not
to exceed in the aggregate one-fourth
of its bank stock.
The law requires both the land banks
and the farm loan associations to make
provision for certain reserves before
they can pay any dividends.
In sections where local conditions do
not make the formation of associa-
tions practicable, the Farm Loan
Board may authorize the Federal land
bank to make loans through agents
approved by the board. These agents
are to be banks, trust companies, mort
sage companies or savings institutions
chartered by the state. They may re-
eeive as compensation the actual ex-
pense involved in transacting the loan
and in addition thereto sum not to
exceed onehalf of one per cent per
annum on the unpaid principal of the
loans made through them. When tho
Farm Loan Board decides that To-
cality is adequately served by farm
loan associations, no further loans are
to be made through agents.
Joint-Stock Land Banks Permitted
In addition to the system of II Fed
eral land banks and the National farm
loan associations of borrowers, the acb
permits the establishment of joint stock
land banks. and authorizes them to
carry on the business of lending di-
rectly to borrowers on farm mortgage
security and issuing farm loan bonds
These banks must have capital of not
less than $250,000. They are under the
supervision of the Federal Farm Loan
Board. but the government does mob
lend them any financial assistance.
The joint stock land bank is free
I from many of the conditions imposed
ON the federal land banks. Subject
to the 80 and 30 per cent value limita-
ton and the limitation as to territory,
the joint stock land bank may lend
lmore than $4,000 TO single individ-
ual, and it is not restricted to making
loans for the purposes specified in the
ease of the federal land bank
The Joint stock bank, like the fed
Seral land banks. cannot charge an in
terest rate ON farm mortgages in ex-
cess of six per cent, nor shall such
interest rate exceed by more tnan ono
per cent the rate Of interest paid by
the bank upon its last issue of bonds.
A joint stock bank is limised in its
bond issue to Is times its capital and
surplus.
Among the restrictions placed on
these banks under the act are-fD
that their mortgages must provide for
an amortization system of repayment
such rs is prescribed in the case of
loans through the federal land banks,
and (2) that they shall in no case de-
mand or receive under any form or

the British, advices from the scene
'of the disturbances said today.
Troops are besieging the postofflce
In which the Sim Feiners estab-
lished headquarters. Several nearby
buildings haze been captured from
the rioters. Light artillery has been
trained on the postofiice but COM
manders hope to seize It without
further damage to the building.
A press despatch from point near
Dublin declared that some rebels
had made overtures for surrender.
The most severe fighting occurred
late yesterday when British troops
attacked and captured strongly en-
trenched positions on st. Stephens
Green. The Green itself is enclosed
by wall and entrance may be gain
ed only through comparatively new
gates. These the Sim Feiners bar
ricaded with overturned motor
trucks. ns
Government troops rushed the bar
ricades In close formation and after
is minutes of desperate hand-to-
hand fighting broke through the
gate. Inside the rebels had shallow
Ftrenches protected by sand bags and
iron spikes. From these defenses
they fired volley after volley into the
masses OF British pouring through
the gate. Despite this, the first gov.
ernment soldiers charged without
waiting for reinforcements.
One detachment Of the rioters was
cut of, surrounded and captured
more than 800 men laying down their
arms. Unofficial dispatches assert
ed the entire Green was In posses.
sion OF the military.
Several women Sim Feiners figur-
ed In the early street fighting. Later
they disappeared. II is believed that
they have been hidden by rebel sym.
pathizers. The authorities were in
formed that the Countess Markie-
viecs. attired in green uniform
marched with the rioters on the day
! the uprising commenced.
Fires are burning in several parts
OF Dublin. Other disturbances have
occurred in Enniscorthy. Killarney
Corey. Glocomel and in certain parts
OF Galway county. but everywhere
else the situation Is calm, according
to an officiaI announcement.

SURRENDERS
TO TURKS
Besieged Garrison Held at
Kut-H-Amara for lao Days
Is Finally Forced to Yield
Through Food Shortage

London. April 2s.-The British
garrison of 1910 English and 5000
British Indian troops, which has been
besieged In Kut-el-Amara by the
Turks for more than 140 days. has
surrendered, it was admitted official
ly today by the war Office.
This Is the first instance Of the
present war, and one Of the few oc-
casions In more than century, In
which a besieged British garrison has
surrendered.
The Kut-el-Amara garrison has
been believed in serious danger for
several days because Of lack of food.
Officials made no attempt to min
imize the gravity Of General Towns
hend's position.
Official statements last night told
of an unsuccessful effort to run .
food ship on the Tigris river through
the Turkish lines. This indicated
that the predicament OF the British
was desperate.
Floods blocked relief forces which
are now 23 miles east Of the city
Turks trapped General Townshend
in Kut-el-Amara early in December.
after the Bagdad campaign had col
lapsed.
Townshend destroyed all the gar
rison's guns and munitions before
surrendering.
| Sir John Nixon occupied Kut-el-
Amara on September 10, 1915, and
advanced to within 10 miles of Bag
dad, where on November 26 he was
defeated and, retreating, suffered an
other defeat when his Arabian vol
unteers deserted and Joined the
Turks.
Nixon left Townshend with a force
estimated by the Turks as 10000,
and also left large quantities Of sup
plies, believing that relief expedi-
tion would later reach him. Nixon
did not want the Turks to have Kut-
el-Amara, barring another advance
on Bagdad.
Subsequently Nixon was relieved Of
his command, Sir Percy Lake sue
ceeding him. Dardanelles veterans
then tried to relieve the garrison.
