3 ANK DIRECTORS MUST PUNCLE
 UP BIG SUM
Another Phase Is Written into the Affairs of the Washington-AIaska
 Fairbanks Bank.

FAIRBANKS, Aug 20.-(By maiD Not all the judgment rendered in the United States circuit court at San Francisco last week against the directors of the defunct Washington Alaska Bank at Fairbanks, for the depositors is colIectable now.
 The full text of the circuit courts decision has been received here by cable. It sustains the judgment previously given by the District Court of this district
 According to judicial decree the directors. on two counts, are held liable for not having declared and paid dividends on the stock of the bank after the institution was bank rupt. These illegal dividends amount to S54,720, and it is adjudged that this sum be paid by the directors to the receiver of the bank and that he distribute the sum among the depositors.
 Of this total s54,72O. the amount of $33,720, on one count is adjudged against R. c. Wood, John l.. McGinn,
 
 David Yarnell and l.. N. lesson.
 Of the remaining $21.o00 of the judgment, based on another count, only about $5.000 is coilectable. as some of the directors named in this second count are without means.
 There is scarcely any doubt that the case will be appealed from the circuit court to the supreme court of the United States. The belief is entertained here that even if the highest tribunal affirms the decision of the lower courts. the depositors will get very little, as the expense of the receivership in the meantime will have eaten up the amount of the judgment.

planning war on the United States after defeating France and Britain, is in the hands of the administra- ton, the State Department announc- es.
 The State Department confirmed Lord Robert Cecirs statement that Germany had so plotted.
 Secretary Lansing refused to be specific as to what the evidence tending to show Germany's war plans on the United States was drought here by James Gerard on his return from Germany, where he served as American ambassador.
 Mir Gerard himself has frequently said the Teutons had their eyes on
 his country and Lord Robert Ce- cil claimed to have proof of this.
 Vast amounts of data showing the net of intrigue woven about America Ey the Kaiser's agents area filed away in the State Department, in eluding the clumsy attempt of For eign Secretary Zimmerman to bring about a union of Mexico and Japan against this country. This and oth- CT autocratic dreams showed the trend of the German mind. They also afford President Wilson the opportunity he will soon take of showing why America can not deal on friendly terms with Germany as long as the Kaiser reigns.
