Gus and should be avoided.
"In view of the unrestricted warfare
carried on by Germany at sea by means
of mines and submarines" says the no.
tice, mot only against the allied pow
ers but also against neutral shipping,
and the fact that merchant ships are
constantly sunk without regard to the
ultimate safety of their crews, his ma
jesty's government gives notice that on
and after February II the mentioned
area in the North sea will be rendered
dangerous to all shipping by operations
against the enemy and it should there
fore be avoided"

BANK DIRECTORS ARE SUED
FOR Balance of Depositor's Claim
Against Alexander Institution
of Paris.

Paris. Ky.-Suit has been filed in the
odice of the Clerk of the Bourbon Cir
cuit Court by E. B. Sparks against the
directors of the defunct George Alex
ander & Co. state bank to recover on
a note for $4,000 and for $3,24S.33,
which he had on deposit in the bank
at the time it was placed in the hands
of the State Banking Commissioner.
Mr.. Sparks alleges in his petition
that in consideration of his leaving
the money in the bank Mr.. Alexander
agreed to pay him per cent interest.
He received a note from Mr.. Alexan-
der for $4,000 bearing 6 per cent in
terest.
1t is claimed that through the gross
negligence and omissions of the de-
PENDANT directors of the bank became
insolvent, and large amounts of it's as
sets were lost and its entire capital
dissipated; that because of the pay
ment of numerous dividends and the
acceptance by the Directors of their
portion of them at the time the bank
was insolvent, the defendant Directors
are personally liable for the debts of
the Alexander Bank. The defendant
asks for Judgment in the sum of $751;
243.33, less credit of S7,874.41 re-
ceived at various times from the Bank
ing Commissioner.
