RECORD BANK RESOURCES
National Banks of the United States
Have s16,543, 100000.

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 20.-Resources
of national banks, Notwithstanding the
governments great program of war
financing, again have exceeded their pre-
vious. record of strength. Comptroller
Williams announced last night that total
resources on Sept. IL, the date of the
last bank call, were Sl6, 6,543, 100000.
IF S5,000,000000 OF deposits should be
withdrawn from the national banks of
the country" the comptroller said, their
deposits would still be S2S6,000,000 great
err than they were at this time in 1913,
the year before the outbreak of the Eu-
ropean war"
1t is also significant that while the
national banks of the country have as
sisted so largely in the financing OF the
first Liberty loan involving to certain
extent the withdrawal of deposits, their
deposits as compared with May last
before the Liberty loan was announced
showed an actual increase of Sl50,000,0 900
Deposits are 1882, 100000 greater
than on Sept. II, 1916
Total deposits are given as $l3,234,-
100000. These figures include only ma
tional banks and are independent of saw.
ngs banks, trust companies and other
similar institutions.

ZEPPELINS
AGAIN USED
Germany Sent Half a Dozen
or More Against
London
BOMBS DROPPED IN
VARIOUS PLACES
But the Attack on London
Itself Was of Short
Duration

German Zeppelins last midnight raided
the eastern and northeastern counties oi
England and approached London. Six OIL
seven airships participated and bombs
were dropped in various places but they
did not carry out a very definite attack
Although few bombs fell in the London
area the protective batteries were busy
only a few minutes, and it is believed
that the raiders were checked effectively
from making any serious attempt against
the inner part of the city. Twenty
seven persons were killed and SO were
injured.
Apparently the Russian feet in the
battle in and around Moon sound, north
of Riga, on Wednesday fought well
against superior enemy. The Russian
admiralty says the entire third and
fourth squadrons of the German high
seas fleet and probably the fifth squad
ron took part in the engagement The
three squadrons comprise two-thirds of
the German fleet The battleship Slavs
was the only unit of the Russian fleet
lost, while the Russians accounted for
two trawlers, and three German torpedo
boats sunk by striking mines.
On the Flanders battle front the Brit
sh aerial and military activity continues
intense, probably in preparation for an
,ther strike against the German positions

of hogs at $40 per hundred, as compared
with former higher prcies, brought a
food of hogs to this market, bore the

and eliminated yesterday in denial by
Herbert c. Hoover. that livestock price
fixing was contemplated
Mr.. Hoover's denial, addressed to all

fixing first appeared in Chicago papers.
They are absolutely untrue" Mr.
Hoover declares, "and do not represent
opinion or proposed action of the food
administration, which will take no steps
to jeopardize livestock producers inter
ests.
"All our power will be used TO keep
prices at which allied and governmental
purchases are made on plane that gives
an assured return of cost and profit to
producers of meat animals.

Had the full complement of the trans
port been aboard, the loss undoubtedly
would have been written in hundreds, as
she was struck in the most vulnerable
spot and went under so swiftly that few
could have escaped.
| Officials are confident that those who
survived owe their lives to the careful
attention given by the navy department
to the equipping of transports with life
boats and life RATS. 1t is q fixed rule
that enough boats and RATS shall be car
ried to afford place for every man
aboard, even though the ship keels over
and puts half her boats out OF commits
sion.
The loss of the ships engineer officers
indicates the probability that not one
of the engine and freroom force on duty
escaped. Probably most OF them died
in the blast of the explosion of the tor
pedo which tore its way into the engine
room compartments.
The heavy loss among the army en-
listed men indicated, cannot be accounted
for until further details come in. Prob
ably they and the navy men were in
their quarters below and could not make
their way on deck before the ship took
her final plunge. The army, navy and
ships officers and the others who were
rescued, probably were on deck or in
cabins from which step took them to
the deck and chance for their lives.
Lacking details of the attack, beyond
the fact that the submarine was unseen
and the first warning to those aboard the
Antilles came with the shock of the ex
plosion Of the torpedo many theories
were current as to how the boat crept |
through the destroyer screen did its
work and escaped unchallenged.
A majority of the officers who would |
thought the transport and her
patrols had run directly over
a lurking submarine which saw them
coming, calculated the distance and
launched her deadly torpedo without ever
showing more than her periscope. They
-egard it as probable that the U-boat
commander picked his place, lay in wait
below the surface until his microphones
old him the patrols had passed and the
transport was upon him, then shot his
,eriscope above water only long enough
o sight and fire before he ducked back
o safety.
Any attempt to locate the submarine
robably was made impossible by the
ecessity of rescuing the survivors. The
essel must have been virtually torn in
alf by the explosion to have gone down '
n the time she did. Z
