GERMANY ACTED
WITHIN HER RIGHTS
THERE SEEMS TO BE NO ISSUE
OVER SINKING OF STEAMER
HOUSATONIC.

WASHINGTON, Feb SIT has been
established to the satisfaction of the
administration that the sinking Sat;
urday by a German submarine of the
merchantmen Fousatonic was within
international law
Proper warning was given and pro
vision made for the safety of the
crew.
However, as the Housatonic was
carrying contrabapd any controversy
over her destruction probably will pre-
sent more serious issue than none
.tary damages, as the report o44'onsul
tSephens at Plymouth places the al
fair in the same category as that oe
the American ship William p. Frye,
destroyed early in the year by a
raider.
The news that no lives had been
lost in the sinking Of the wheat car
rier, and that the German submarine
commander had complied with inter
national law, was received here.

FEAR IS FELT FOR
THE SHIP ARANCHE
LEFT HERE LATTER PART OF
LAST WEEK, BOUND FOR
ENGLISH PORT.

A great deal of fear Is being felt
In shipping circles for the safety of
the British steamship Aranche, which
left here Friday for an English port
with cargo of naval stores taken OH
In Fernandina and this port snd it
left at time when there is danger
OF all kinds at sea. Several OF the
crew got wise and would not make
the return trip. and are waiting here
TO catch a coastwise vessel One Of
this number told News representa-
tive yesterday that transportation had
been offered them to Jacksonville,
but they had decided to remain here
for a week or ten days, at least, They
all drew quite neat sum OF money
and can remain here for month with
enough for "eats" until ship ar
rives.
Several OF the crew OF tho Aranche
invested many dollars in things sell
ing at low prices here, but very dear
in England They said they would
take the chances OF getting across,
and il IL to be hoped that they will
reach port in safety.

VEGETABLE CROP HURT
Especially is This True OF the
Younger Plants, Which Were
Almost Put Entirely Out Of
Business.

Weather indications last night did
rot offer very much encouragement
that tho present cold wave will break
within the next twenty.four hours. In
fact, it was predicted that the coolest
period of tho entire season was in the
future. Yesterday was without ques.
ton the coldcst day as whole which
has visited Brunswick in decade.
Tho early morning hours brought
such fall of sleet that many people
are of tho opinion that snow actually
fell somewhere between ! and :
o'clock in the morning. A smart.
crisp northwest wind added its hor-
rors to the low temperature, and
Brunswick spent the entire day try
ing to stay indoors or dodge the wind.
All along the day. and. IL fact in all
the industrial and manufacturing
, plants operations were practically sus-
pended and with the exception Of the
Yaryan company. II Is doubtful II any
| local concern was able to retain their
| force and operate as usual. Up to
about noon long distance telephone
ard telegraph service was badly dis
| turhcd, but later in the day all OF
these agencies managed to make their
usual connections. One of the big
gest industries in Brunswick just now
is tho prawn business. and since last
| Friday not a single prawn boat has
ventured to sea, and the five or six
Brunswick prawn canning concerns
have been at standstill

GREAT SHOWING
BY GLYNN BANK
YOUNGEST FINANCIAL INsTlTU-
TloN HAS GROWN MOST
WONDERFULLY.

In the brief span OF one year the
Glynn County bank, the youngest OF
Brunswick's financial institutions, has
increased it's deposits by more than
one hundred and twenty per cent. In
other words. on January l. 1916, the
deposits in this bank amounted to
S152, ,4S6.04; in July of the same year
they had Increased to $2l7 ,9O695, and
on January /. 1917, they footed up
1926, ,322S2.
The healthy condition Of this bank
as shown in statement published
elsewhere in the News this morning,
not called for however. by the state
banking department. is indicated in
its Immediately available assets,
which amount 10 slGS.594.9S. and its
assets available within thirty to sixty
days amounting to $2l0,252.73.
The capital stock OF the bank Is
only $4,000, and the showing y
makes is a splendid indication OF the
prosperity of the bank in question and
Of the growth and development of
Brunswick in general.
The News consratulatc5 the cner.
getic anagement of the Glynn Coun-
ty bank on the splendid statement 1t
gives to the public this morning,
which means much for the SShk and
more for the city in which 1t is op-
Grated.

COUNTY FATHERS
WILL MEET TO-DAY
TO DECIDE WHETHER Or NOT
ROADS WILL RECEIVE
ATTENTION.

The session of the Giynn county
commissioners to be ncd this morn
ing promises to be que {? interest
ing one. as some matters of unusual
Importance i'll come up for disrosi-
ton. Among the foremost things to
be considered is tne proposed action
on the roads matter. Many nave been
working for better roads in the coun-
tv for some time and it seems their
work will result in Glynn having
roads which will compare flvoraDly
with those of any county in the state.
For many years experiments nave
been made with material of an lnfe-
rior quality and it has beer demon
strated beyond a doubt that it is far
better and a great deal cheaper TO
use the higher cost kind. as in the
end it has always been found to be
the cheapest.
When word goes down the line that
the roads OF Glynn are in excellent
shape. the average tourist will be sure
to include Brunswick in his usual
winter trip. These tourists. of course,
always have plenty of money and they
generally leave it along the routes
they travel Sometime they remain
over in one place for several days.
The News has always advocated
better roads, and it voiced the senti-
ment OF the people genearliy when it
stated some days ago that no time
should be lost in putting same in
very best condition.

Annual Report OF Comptroller OF
the Currency is Very In
teresting.
ALL NATIONS OWE US MONEY
The Comptrolled Suggests Some
Drastic Changes in Banking
Laws-AII Banks Make Fine
Showing.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 5.-The comp
troller of the currency today advised
congress, in submitting his annual re-
port, that the United States at the
present time seems 10 be "intrenched
financially almost as firmly as it is
possible for any human government
to be"
Practically the whole world is in
debt to u.s." the report said land is
steadily increasing its obligations.
Our financial condition in relation to
other peoples and the world at large
becomes stronger from week to week
and from month to month AS the
figures show 50 conclusively our
wealth is piling up with wonderful
rapidity; but to do our proper work
large our own interests, we may be
fore long need every dollar Of these
resources, gigantic and ineXhaustible
as they now seem to bo.

cal situation VIC seem now to be in
tGenched financially almost as firmly
as it is possible for any government
to be We are well prepared for
preparedness and ready and able to
provide for whatever increases OF
army and navy congress may think
to be necessary"
The report reviews in detail the &C.
tivities and growth OF national banks
throughout the country during the
year and makes recommendations for
additional legislation to safeguard de-
positors and stockholders.
The comptroller's recommendations
propose the enactment OF laws to:
Amend the criminal code, making 1t
a felony for individuals firms or
corporations to make false financial
statements to banks for the purpose
OF securing loans
Burglary of national banks a crime
punishable by federal law.
Limit the funds invested by bank
in its own building to the amount OF
its capital stock.
Authorize the treasurer to sell
bonds securing circulation thirty days
after bank goes into liquidation.
Such laws, the report states, should
be enacted in "the interest of the
shareholders or depositors Of the
banks and Of the general public"
Since the Inauguration or tho fed
eral reserve system, the report states.
charters have been issued to 264 new
national banks with aggregate capital
of SIG, 900 and 189 national banks

dation and thirty.four banks reduced

JUST FOUR FIRES YESTERDAY.
And the Damage in All Of Them VIII
&c Less Than $50.

Four alarms were answered by the
fire department yesterday. II the de-
partment had been OF the old-time
kind instead Of the up.to-date sort.
The damage would have been many
hundreds OF dollars instead of less
than $50. The department answered
four calls, as follows: S:45 a. M,
at 1904 Amherst street, Matilda TAFT
Dall owner; damage only small, less
than IS; 1920 a. M, 2025 Union
street, occupied by w. r. Culver,
damage here, too, was slight; p. m,
at Ola Cochran avenue. very small
damage; 7:30 p. m, grass near the
wharves Of the Downing company,
between Gloucester aad Monk streets,
no damage. but great scare.
Yesterday demonstrated beyond a
doubt the great advantage OF q motor
department The first few flres came
one right after the other, and with
horses the damage would have reach
ed the thousand dollar mark or more.

ol the United States will be shaped

President Wilson hopes, however,

the force of neutral opinion bring
peace. 1t has not been revealed if
any responses have been received
from neutrals to the suggestion made
by the president that they follow the
example of the United States and
break with Germany.
1t appears that the sinking of the
American ship Housatonic was not
Illegal. She was carrying contraband
wheat, got warning from the subma-
rine, and the crew was saved.
