LIBERTY BOND ISSUE

Inc O0nlr0ller Oh the currency
said to-day:
There are in the United States
at present more than ten million
10000, 000) individuals and cor
porations who are able to make
subscriptions to the new
Liberty Loan in amounts ranging
from 500 to 500, 600, 600 each.
This estimate is conservative
when we consider that there are
more than 40, GOO, 000 persons EN-.
gagged in gainfQI occupations in
this country besides the large
number OF men and women whose
income is derived from their IN
5estments. If every individual
in the United States should suJ-
scribe to the new bonuS to the
extent of only five per cent
90 of his or her total
possessions, the loan viii be
subscribed to SIX TIMES OVER.
A few months ago the German
Government offered a new loan
of several billion dollars. and
although this issue had been pre-
coded by four or five other Gov
eminent bond offerings, it is re-
ported that applications were re-
ceived from ). 250. 600 subscrii ers.
The population of Germany is
less than two-thirds Of the pop
ulation of this country. and the
estimated total wealth of the
German Empire, according to
computation made shortly before
the outbreak of the war by Dr..
Heltferich, Secretary Of the Ger
man Treasury, was placed, at
from SO to Is billion dollars. or
about 0NE-THlRD of the wealth
of the United States. which is
now estimated at more than 220
billion dollars.
The reports of our national
banks Of March 5, 1917. show
that on the day named these
banks had a total Of Is, 737. $50
deposit accounts. This is an in
crease Of l,449, $40 since May |,
1916, when the total number Of
DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS was IA
2SS, 059.
1t is significant that l,259, COL,
or seven -eights of this increase,
was reported by the country
banks, indicating the wider
diffusion of the wealth of the
country.
Thetotal increase of DEPOSITS
in the national banks in this
period of 10 months was approx
mately two billion dollars.
The bank reports also show
that on March 5, 1917, there
were 459,619 shareholders in the
national banks of the country,
1873. 204 women stock
holders.
The latest bank returns indi-
cate that the total resources of
the banks of the United States
at this time, including national
banks, state banks, trust COM
paies, savings banks and private
banks, is approximately thirty
i've billion dollars $3.50, 600. 600,
)O0), exceeding by far the great
est banking resources ever be-
fore shown in any country.
Fifty years ago we raised over
.hree 90 billion dollars to pro-
vide for the expenses of the
Civil War. The wealth of this
country today is eight times as
sreat as it was then; our banking
esources are twenty times as
,reat as they were then, or even
IS late as 1870. At this time we
re in a position to raise, with /
ar less effort, ten (10) billion or
fifteen (15) billion dollars, or
nore; and if the money should |
re needed, it will be provided |
nd provided promptly.

says.

An answer to the contest over the
will OF the late Aiois Weber Is filed
| in motion which was filed today by
Sadie German Weber, in the district
court, in which she asks the court to
dismiss and strike from the records
the objections to the prohattng OF
the will filed by Francis j. Weber,
Alois Weber and Mary Corrinne
| Weber, for the reason that they have
no standing in court.
Proponent, Sadie G. Weber, alleges
in her motion that Alois j. Weber
and Mary Corrinne Weber are minors
and are incompetent of filing objec-
tons in their own names or in their
behalf. She alleges in paragraph
two that the allegations Of contest
ants show Frank J. Weber to be sole
heir at law of Alois Weber. deceased,
and fails to show any right or inter
est that the said Francis J. Weber,
Alois ]. Weber or Mary Corrinne
Weber have in the estate, such as
would give them standing In court to
resist the probating of the will.
THAT said Francis J. Weber, Alois
y. Weber, and Mary Corrinne Weber
are children of Frank J. Weber and
grandchildren Of AIois Weber. and
have absolutely no interest in the
estate of Alois Weber, except such az
they derive by and through and I'M
der the will of Alois Weber, the pro-
batting of which they are resisting.
That said Francis J. Weber, Alois J.
Weber and Mary Corrinne Weber are
not persons interested in the pro-
bate of said will such as is CON
templated by law That they are de-
irving great benefit through said will
and that the only interest that they
could possibly have in the estate OF
the said Alois Weber will accrue to
them through terms of the said will.
That said Alois Weber, deceased,
has named them as residuary legatees
in the said will, and has devised to
them the major portion of his estate.
That if said will is admitted to pro-
bate they will receive under and by
virtue of 1T in money and property
many thousands of dollars. That If
said will is denied probating they
will receive absolutely nothing, from

vised to them under said will, viii!
