To this end the controller of the cur
rency issued a statement announcing
that he had instructed all national
bank examiners that they need not re-
quire national banks holding high
grade bonds of unquestioned intrinsic
value and merit to charge them down
to present abnormal figures, but to ex-
ercise ian intelligent and conservative
discretion" as to the prices at which
the banks can continue to carry such
securities.
This action, 1t is thought, will tend
to prevent undue tightening OF the

of bonds, process which, if continued
for considerable period Of time,
might lead to heavy losses by the in
vestors in such securities and to the
consequent detriment of the properties
upon which they are issued.
Similar action was taken by the con.
troller at the outbreak of the European
war when security values dropped pre-
cipitateay to low records.
For months past virtually all securi-
ties have been steadily diminishing In
quoted values.

Some of Our camoufleurs.

This company of artists which is to
go abroad to fool the Germans by
making things seem what they are
not" is commanded by Captain Nixon
Miller, who for more than seven years
was a member of the Pennsylvania
National Guard, and who was employ
ed as a civil engineer in the Panama
Canal construction.
A first lieutenant Of the company is
Homer Saint-Gaudens, a son of the
man generally acknowledged to be the
greatest American sculptor. Lieu
tenant Saint Gaudens is stage di-
rector of note. 1t was he who pro-
duced the wonderful effects and illu-
sions in "Peter Pan" and other plays
which held the eye as well as the
mind. The second lieutenant is Will
fred S. Conrow, the landscape painter.
The company contains many men OF
the highest standing in their profess
sion. Fry is a pupil of MacMonnies,
dorado Taft and other distinguished
sculptors, and like two others of the
company, Faulkner and Harry Thrash
er, has taken the Prix de Rome.
Among the comrades are Suffer, Tube
sing, Denver and Nell, the painters.
Twigg Smith, who has been painting
exquisite scenes Of the Hawaiian Is
lands, has come back and enlisted.
Sanger, Hoyt, Foster and Comstock
are enlisted among the architects.
All are young men but they come
from the best offices in the United
States and many already have made
names for themselves. Leslie Thrash
er, who draws frontispieces for the
Saturday Evening Post, is soldier
camoufleur. Men Of this stamp are
appearing at the camp every day, and
enlistments are coming in so fast that
Major Tracy has had his hands full
dealing with them. The spirit of the
command is an inspiration to the lay
man.
