BRANCH BANK PLANNED
FOR nth AND C STREETS
Washington Loan and Trust Com
pany to Extend Facilities for
Benefit of Depositors.

| A branch bank is to be established by
the Washington Loan and Trust Com
pany at the southwest corner of 18th
and streets northwest, in order to
extend banking facilities to hundreds
of depositors of the company who are
employed in government Offices IN that
| section of the city.
This announcement was made today
by John b. Larner, president of the
trust company, who stated that tine
acquisition of the property on which
it is proposed to erect the branch was
| completed today. and that plans for the
building are under consideration 1t
IS understood the building is to be a
! stone structure in keeping with the
architecture of the public buildings in
the vicinity, and that 1T will be devoted
entirely to banking purposes. 1t VIII
occupy property having a frontage of
seventy five feet on 18th street and
! ffty-nine feet on G street on which
three old brick buildings now are To-
Gated.
1t is expected the establishment of
| the branch will bring about the crea-
| tton of new business center In that
| section of the city. 1t is thought other
business establishments will be brought
| to the neighborhood by the action of
the trust company, which Is one Of the
oldest and most ln1luentlal llHdIicldl III
+, stitutions in Washington.
| In explaining the plan to open the
! branch, Mr.. Larner said:
Branch Plan Explained.
MANY clerks of the government de-
partments located in the vicinity of 9th
and f streets northwest have for many
years been doing business with this in
stitution. and have grown to look upon
It as their banking home.
The recent erection of large public
buildings in the vicinity of 18th and q
streets has taken away from this sec
ton of the city many persons who are
our customers, and this move is made
that we may continue our relations
with them to their satisfaction and
convenience.
within short time we will have on
the corner of 18th and G streets a well
equipped branch at which our deporit-
ors located in that section may con-
tinue to transact their business with
the company as heretofore. We are
fortunate In having secured this very
valuable and centrally located piece of
property, and we feel satisfied that II
will be pleasing to our friends who are
located In that section of the city"

SEIZED SHIPS ARE TO Be
READY IN FIVE MONTHS
German and Austrian Steamships
Will Add 535,72 Tons to Mer-
chant Marine of U. S.

Seventy-one German and Austrian
merchant ships seized by the govern
ment will be repaired and ready for
commission within five months, unless
concealed damage is discovered. the
federal shipping board estimates. They
will add $751; tons to Americas mer-
chant marine. Many of the smaller
ships can be made ready for service in
less than four months, and necessary
| repair work is now being rushed in pri-
vate shipping yards.
To allay uncertainty among ship
builders who expect to take contracts
for vessels of the great wooden ship
fleet the shipping board has announced
that specifications for standard ship
would be ready in the near future.
The standard ship, the announcement
said, will be about $50 feet over
of hold and with two full decks. and
will be capable of developing about
1000 horsepower.
Protection Against Submarines.
Some details remain to be worked out,
however. including the question of bulk
heads for protection from submarines.
Officials said preparation of the specifi-
cations probably would be completed
within few days. possibly by tomor-
row.
Scores of shipbuilders have assured the
board that they will take contracts up TO
the limit of their capacity, and in the
past few days many of them have sent
inquiries as to how soon specifications
would be submitted and bids accepted. l,
is understood that some of the delay has
been due to revisions made at the sug-
gestion Of the visiting war missions, par
ticularly in regard to means of protecting
the vessels from submarines. On that
feature of the construction the naval con-
sulting board also is giving advice.
Officials made it clear that every eff
fort would be made to submit the specit-
cations soon as possible. SO there will
be no unnecessary delay in getting the
ships into the water to aid in breaking
the German submarine blockade.
