COLUMBIA WINS LOAN BANK.
South Carolina Will Have Banking
Center for Neighboring States.

Columbia, Dec. 27.-Announce-
ment from Washington this morning
that Columbia had been selected as
| the site for one of the twelve Federal
| farm loan banks was received here
with joy. E. j. Watson, Commits
sioner of Agriculture. and James A.
Hoyt led the fight for the establish
ment OF the bank in Columbia. More
| than thousand local farm loan as
sociations have been established in
| the State by Commissioner Watson.
I No announcement has been made as
| to the district that Columbia will
serve.
Some Of the Methods.
Washington, Dec. 27.-Almost the
first work of the banks after approv-
ing and issuing loans will be the issu-
ance Of farm loan bonds. 1t is eX-
pected these will be issued in as low
as 25-dollar denominations and bear
interest at one per cent less than the
interest charged for loans. What this
interest will be has not been decided
definitely. 1t is limited by law to a
maximum Of six per cent and Is eX-
pected not to exceed five and one-half
per cent at first, possibly being low
cred later.
Loans are limited to fifty per cent
Of the value Of the land, and may be
payable in from five to forty years.
AS fast as the loans are made bonds
will be issued to cover them so at no
time under the present plan will the
banks entire capital be tied up in
loans to the detriment OF other ap-
,, plicants.
More than 5000 applications for
positions have been received. The
board intends to obtain men expert
enced in banking. The registrar Of
each bank will probably be a resident
Of the district and preferably an at
torney.
The bank at Columbia will be
known as District No. 3, and will be
comprised of the States of Georgia,
North and South Carolina and Flori-
da. The banks in the different dis
tricts. of which there are twelve, will
be established as soon as practicable.
Each will be capitalized at $750,00O.
SO many loan applications have been
received already it Is estimated the
sum of twenty times the combined
capital Of the banks could be loaned

VILLA FORCES ARE BUSY.
Capture Towns, Then Demand Large
Financial Aid.

ternoon and joined the Villistas ope-
rating in that neighborhood under
Tamcz and the Qucvado brothers.
Gen. Gonzales, with 800 troops,
left Juarez tonight, ostensibly for
the south, to operate against Willis
tas. CarranZa adhcrcnts in Juarez
profess the belief that Gonzales
either will be captured by the Willis
tas at Villa Ahumada or will Join
the Villistas with his 800 troops.
Villa Ahumada now is in full pos
session Of Villistas, together with the
Gonzales recruits, special train OF
30 cars and locomotive.
Juarez is I'm the grip Of reign OF
terror. Half starved, poorly clad
Carranza soldiers, driven to dcspera
ton by hunger and the rigors Of
winter in Northern Mexico, clad only
in the cotton uniform Of the tropics,
are committing deprcdations nightly
to obtain food and clothing.
Every night there are half a dozen
murders which are never investigated
by the authorities. The bodies gen
orally are buried in one trench. a
warm overcoat or suit OF clothes is
worth a mans life to own. Blankets
and clothing are being stolen by the
wholesale.
The trouble started with the arri-
val of the troops under Gen. Murguia,
their arrival in Juarez Il week ago.
the troops have not been paid. A
civil war was narrowly avcrted By
the departure of Gen. Gonzales and
his troops to assist in the defense Of
Chihuahua City. Part Of Gen. Muir
guia's troops follow them TO the CAPT
tai tomorrow.
Mayor Herrera announced to-day
that the lid will be taken off gam
bling in JuareZ December 30.
El Paso observers are busy with
conjectures of the possibility that
Villa will decline to sell oil 10 the
allies should he seize the big oil
properties In Mexico. This undoubt-
upon the United States and probably
would result in the severest test upon
the Monroe doctrine since its adop-
ton.
Interesting details Of the capture
OF Torreon have come to light with
the arrival of refugees from there.
They declare the town was attacked
at / Il. N. by 5000 Villistas and only
a slight resistance was offered by the
CarranZistas, who fed soon after the
attack was started. Villa was not
present during the attack, but was
notified Of the city's fall and rode
into the captured city at p. m. at the
head OF his army.

Later details Of the capture Of San

was taken by Independent bandits
who notified Villa and joined his
revolutionary forces. The same was
true at t,l Orc. only in this case the

A dwelling was on fire in

household and kitchen furniture

when the phone rang. He
couldn't resist the temptation to
stop long enough to answer
what he knew to be the last call
ever to be received over the
telephone in that house. 1t so
happened that young lady
from another town was at the
other end of the line and after

HOSPITAL FORGE THAT COULD
 CARE FOR MILLION MEN
Could Be MobiIized by Red cross
 Within a Few Days.

 Washington, Feb. 9.-An expert hos pital force sufficient to care for an army of d million men could be mobi- ized by the Red Cross within a few days after the outbreak of hostilities, in the belief of officials at headquart- CTS of the society here.
 Since the call was issued Saturday instructing Red Cross chapters throughout the country to place them selves on footing for field work many encouraging reports have Seen return ed to hos dquarters together with a vice which could be mobilized imme- diately in case of war would include:
 Twenty-siX completely equipped army anl navy base hospital units, with a total personnel of ,250 nurses and 099 nurses aides.
 A hospital base reserve of 415 nurs- es and 524 nurses aides.
 One hundred fifteen local emergency detachments.
 corps of expert instructors in sur gical dressings. totalling about 12O.
 Mir. Wadsworth said that all told the organization could put into the field 2.910 trained Red Cross nurses and eS- timated that if thirty per cent. of those to whom the Red Cross had given ele- mentary training responded to thS cal as nurses aides, the total nursing per- sonney would be about 5000
 With the customary assignment oi ten patients to each nurse" he added we could thus take care of fifty thous- and sick and wounded at once In the earlier stages of war the proportion of sick and wounded is about five pei cent. In other words, we are prepared today to give expert nursing serVlce t' a narny of q million men. "No national emergency has eyel found the Red Cross better prepared than it is today"
