ate. who might well find an echo among

What is most striking in the note"
adds La Liberte. is the coincidence of
its publication with the delivery of
the German note. We have no inten-

clares he did not in any way seek to

Sympathetic Comment in Press.

We welcome the step taken by Presi-

We welcome every step that is made in

The Frankfurter Zeitung says: The

President Wilson's step was prompted

The Hamburger Fremdenblatt points
out that the highest ambition of
President Wilson is to serve the cause
of peace, while the Boersen Zeitung and
the Freisinnige Zeitung likewise COM
ment in a sympathetic vein. The Ostsee
Ieitung of Stettin says that the state
ments of the entente with regard to
the note are indefinite, and that they
are not inclined to peace discussion be-
cause they are afraid of their respon-
sibilities for the past. Germania, the

Divided Into Groups.

THE German press is divided into two
groups as to the Interpretation of the
note. The Deutsche Tages Zeitung de-
.clares that President Wilson's intention
is to rescue the land from an impend
ing catastrophe. The newspaper points
out that Secretary Lansing's remarks
were published the same time as the
note, and that they were hardly veiled
threat against Germany.
The Tagelische Rundschau speaks of
american pressure The Magdeburg-
-ische Zeitung considers the note "a
snare which is laid in favor of the
entente The Hamburger Nachrichten
recalls the experience of the Vienna
congress, and says:
What the failure of the Rumanian
aid has been unable to do has now been
undertaken by the United States"

Credited With Sincerity.

Its tone certainly creates the i'm
preston that it is the Presidents ear
pest intention to assist in bringing about
peace, and in the entire document one
finds no single word, which, effectively
examined. forms any conclusion that he
takes a stand for one group of the
com batant powers or the other. There
is no ground. therefore, for the attempt
to represent the offer of the American
President as an unfriendly act. for
bascaliy, President Wilson wants moth
ing else than what Germany and its
allies wish to attain by their peace
overtures. Only the way in which he,
as chief of neutral state. wants to at
tain this differs from the way taken
by US, and we must consider very care
fully whether His way is passable for
us
The Lokal Anzeiger reiterates that
Germany differs from its opponents in
that it has proved by it's peace over
ture that it wants to bring about peace
Should all efforts fail" concludes
the paper, there will be nothing left
for us but to make sure ruthlessly that
the consciousness which sour enemies
declare is an absolute pre-condition of

TALKS ON BANKING.
(By courtesy of the American Bank
ers Association, Savings Bank Dept
Lending the Banks Money.

Lending the Banks Money.
If the bank confined itself to re-
ceiving money offered for deposit
and paying it out again on checks,
it would render very great and
necessary service to the individual
and the community, but it would
soon cease to exist, because the
life blood of all business (profts)
would be lacking. The operation
of a bank is expensive, and to
hire clerks, pay rent, buy station
cry and build vaults, merely to
protect money and handle check
ing accounts, without some source
of income, would prove a costly
undertaking.
Therefore the bank must seek
some steady source of revenue,
and finds it in lending the money
of its stockholders and depositors
to those who can use more than
they have, and are willing to pay
for the accommodation. And
only as it loans it's funds, and gets
them back with interest can it
long operate as a going concern.
The peculiar fact of the matter
is that dollar in the bank will
do as much work as from four to
five dollars elsewhere. In a tech
nical sense the banker does not
loan money, but credit. lie does
not want your money to loan, but
to use as basis of credit, and
one dollar to him is as good as
four for business purposes. This
may seem an impossible PROPOSE
ton. Let us prove it.
Experience has proven that
everybody does not want all their
money at the same time. IF one
hundred people were each to de-
posit one hundred dollars in a
bank, the banker could safely as
sumo that not over one-quarter of
them would call for their money
at one time. AS a matter Of fact,
less than fifteen per cent would
do so; therefore, if out of every
dollar deposited the banker keeps
fifteen cents in money, he can
meet every ordinary demand for
cash. When an unusual call
arises, it is called "bank run,
which merely means that more
than the usual number of people
are demanding their money at one
time.
Working on this theory, the
banker does not, out of the hun
dred dollars you deposit, lend, let
us say, ninety; he puts the hun
dred in his vault (in his reservel
and discounts the notes Of his
customers, placing the proceeds to
their credit against which they
can check, the same as if they had
deposited cash. The banker
works on the law of averages, and
seldom does this law fail him, for
as long as he has certain per-
centage of his obligations in cash,
or quickly available, he is safe.
(The amount of reserve money
varies, in no case being legally re-
qured to be more than 18 per
cent of the deposits
If, therefore, the banker with
one dollar in money can lend ten
in credit when you hold back the
ten, you deprive the community
of the hundred in credit. The
banker is credit alchemist, MAX
ing one dollar do the work Of
many, and you owe it to him, to
