of the Belgian relief steamer Lars
kruse. which was sunk by torpedo
or mine near the Belgian coast yes
terday. The ship touched at Las

The Lars Kruse carried the flag Of
the Belgian relief commission and
was protected as arranged by the
commission with the German govern

Nov. is last, lab banks went into
liquidation and thirtyfour banks re-
duced their capital. In addltlon'
twenty seven national banks were
placed in receiverships.
Gross earnings of national banks
for the past fiscal year, the report
says, were $500, 642,051 and net earn
ings $157,543,547, an increase in the
latter item of s3O,5OO,000 during the
year. Dividends paid were $114 ,724,-

The practice of charging exorbitant
interest rates has decreased to
marked extent, the report says, the
number of banks charging more than
10 per cent, on the average, being
reduced in Georgia from % to 7; in
Alabama from 21 to 6: in Texas from
BIZ to 1872; in North Dakota from 80
to 81; In South Dakota from % to
10; in Nebraska from 18 to 6; in
Oklahoma from 800 to 1913. Figures
for other states are not given, but
the total reduction throughout the
country during the year is placed at
nearly fifty per cent, or from 1922
| to 55S.
THE trouble has not been fully rec
tified," the report says, land banks
here and there continue to disregard
the law in this respect and to exact
rates which cannot be justified on any
ground. These persistent offenders
are being dealt with, and 1t is hoped
that in most cases they may correct
their Irregular and unlawful practices
before it becomes necessary for this
office to take steps for the annulment
of their charters"
