BANKS SHOW HUGE GAIN
INCREASE OF IS, sss,ss7 IN DENVER
1916 SAVINGS.
Prosperity Of Denver People Shown ia
Every Line Of Civic and
Private Life.

Western Newspaper Union News SERVICE
Observation-Disclosures of Denver's I'M
precedented prosperity during 1916 are
coming like an avalanche through the
medium OF annual totals and account
ings. The evidences have been here
for many months. manifesting them
selves through all avenues Of trade
and industry. but even the most conf.
dent and assured Denverite must exper-
fence a thrill Of surprise and gratifica-
ton when he observes some Of the
proofs in the aggregate.
Never before in the history of Den
yer has there been achievement equal
to the new and remarkable record in
the number and volume of savings &C.
counts. In twenty-four banks the de-
posits aggregate $31.924.939 for 1916.
as against $25,561.5 in 1915, an in
crease OF $6,363,377. or approximately
% per cent. The adding OF 25.2s3 new
accounts during the year. many Of
which were deposits Of women and
children. gives the figures a signifi-
cant aspect. The total number Of 40
counts 10 10000.
During the year settlers from all
parts Of the United States took up
public land in Colorado to the amount
OF 1897 1887 acres. Most OF these were
taken in 320-acre tracts. the maximum
now permitted as homestead entry.
1t is striking parallel in Denver's
financial year that, while her savings
were unprecedentedly big, her dis
bursements Indicate a corresponding
increase. There Is not a branch Of
civic and commercial life that has not
felt the influence Of prosperity. Den
yer has bought more automobiles, built
more houses and worn better clothes
than ever before.
Estimates based on close calcula-
tons by experts show that the total
value of automobiles bought during
the year is approximately $13,60O, 900.
Total financial transactions Of the
Denver postoffice furnish another en-
phatic proof of prosperous conditions.
They will show gain Of more than
81 ,00O. 900 over the record Of 1915. 1t
is expected that the total business will
amount to more than $4,000 for the
year. In the postal savings bank of
the Denver postoffice, approximately
$535.00O was deposited, a gain Of be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 over the
amount deposited in 1915.

OFFENSIVE BY THE AUSTRTANS
EXAGGERATED, LONDON HOLDS
Present Battle Being Waged on 45-Mile
Mountain Front

LONDON, May 20.-A Rome dispatch to
the Daily Telegraph says the Austrian Of
fenslve in the Tyrol is being waged on n
front of 40 miles. The Austrians have
crossed the Italian frontier at one point,
and for short stretch, near the. Astco
torrent. the battle is being fought on Italian
soil. The Austrian forces are estimated at
goo men. with thousands of guns of all
calibre and supported by line of 40 forts,
all of which are participating in the action.
Observers here, while making due allow
ance for the Austrian gains, declare their
Importance has been greatly exaggerated.
In order to cover the German failure at
Verdun they assert. Austria has gravely
weakened her Galician front literally scrap
Ing together regimentsa with which to be-
gin an offensive against Italy.
In considering the Austrian successes in
the direction OF Aslago, II Is necessary to
remember that at this point the Austrian
frontier has not been forced by the
Italians. The presence of the formidable
tort or Luserna, whose heavy guns can
reach even to the Italian village of Asago,
has prevented this.
The territory where the Italians retired
Is IN the desolate region of Settle Communi
where there is nothing but high peaks and
no towns or villages. The Austrians did
not succeed in penetrating very deeply into
Italian territory at this point because the
oeployment of large forces was impossible.
Even the square kilometres gained wero
only at the cost of thousands of lives.
