TRANSPORTATION OF OUR
TROOPS

"A transport miracle, Sir John
Maclay, the British controller of ship
ping, calls the success with which the
United States has moved 1,500,0 00
American, soldiers from their scat
tered camps on this side the Atlantic
to the fighting areas across the seas.
Although the seas have been beset by
the enemy the loss of life in taking
the men across has been almost in
finitesimally small. This bit Of Amer
lean efficiency has not only surprised
our enemies; we have surprised our
friends and even ourselves.
And it isn't all due to the Navy. The
railroads have had their share in the
achievement. Director General Nc
Adoo seems justified in his statement
that while the development of the
Railroad Administration requires
time, progress has been made toward
the goal.
And 1t isn't all due to the Navy and
the railroads, either. 1t is the Liberty
Bond purchasers who made it possible,
and back of the purchasers the Lib
erty Bond. If the people respond to
the Fighting Fourth as they did to the
First, Second and Third, and there is
every indication that they will, there
is no telling what other miracles may
be accomplished.

EXPENSES OF WAR

When it is realized that one 16-inch
shell complete with explosives, pack
ing, etc, costs nearly $1,000 some idea
can be formed of what even slight
encounter with the enemy costs in
these days of modern warfare. The
actual money involved in such an Of
fensive as has recently been going on
on the western front is almost too
much for the average person to mag
inc. Too few stop to think about it.
They are ready enough to shout for
the brave boys who have held back
nothing from their country's call but
they do not always stop to think as
they should that the shouts should
have a strong foundation under them,
foundation of Liberty Bonds and Lib
erty Bonds and still more Liberty
Bonds. Every dollar counts and ev-
cry dollar that can be put into a bond
does just so much toward winning the
war. Ore dollar will buy an overseas
cap; 80 cents will buy pair of wooden
gloves; so cents summer undershirt
and $40 winter one 1t takes 1925
to buy an artillery (wheeD harness
and $175,000 to provide one l6-inch

BANKING POWER
.. OF AMERICA

Total resources of the 1858 national
banks and 20,423 trust companies,
state banks and savings banks of the
United States aggregate over six bill
lion dollars more than year ago and
are greater than in 1916 by nearly
twice this sum- Resources of the ma
tional banks amount to $1S,249 sos, 900
and the state institutions to $22,275,-
1O4,130 totaling $40 525, 100000. With
the Fighting Fourth Liberty Loan
about to be launched these facts culled
by The Analist assume a special sig
nificance to the American people.
Of the 1858 national banks in the
United States New England has 405.
Of the 20,423 state institutions she has
SS4. The national banks in New Eng
land have resources amounting to ST.
$40, 351 900 and the state institutions
to 1926, 100,024
The recent establishment of the
United States Council of State Bank
ing Associations to provide an organ
ization exclusively representative OF
banking institutions under state con-
troll has led to study by The Analist
of the relative resources Of national
and state banks and an inquiry into
the distribution OF banking institu-
lions and banking power among the 4S
states of the Union.
The tremendous increase in the
banking resources of the United
States becomes apparent when refer
ence is made to the last annual report
| of the Controller of the Currency
showing the estimated banking power
Of the country in June 1916 to have
been S29, 1853, 0O0, 900, and in June 1917
! $34,473 100000.
The combined resources of the
banks of six states, New York with
$10,893 ,871 900; Pennsylvania $685.
$685. 900; Massachusetts $2,SS1, 243 900;
Illinois, s2,566, 900; Ohio, $1,S76,-
100000 and California, $1,770,128,000,
aggregate $23,S31, $4,000 or approx.
mately three-fifths of the total re-
sources of all the banks in the coun-
try. The resources of banks in New
York state are more than one-fourth
of the total In 16 of the 4S states the
resources Of the national institutions
exceed those of state controlled banks.
They are Alabama, Colorado, Florida,
New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Penn
| L s
Washington, and Wyoming,
The combined capital of the 20,423
banking institutions under state con-
troll amounts to S1,198,5S3, S41, COM
pared with $1,096,932,000, the COM
bined capital of 1858 national banks.
The surplus of the state banks totals
S1,217 ,070,794, compared with $685.
143 600 for the national banks, and the
undivided profits OF the former class
of institutions amount to 1926, 16S, 464,
compared with 1855, 937 900 for the lat
ter. The capital, surplus, and undi-
vided profits of the state institutions
| total $2,651, 1923, 100 while the total OF
the same items for the national banks
is $2,256, 012,000. An analysis of these
figures shows that the average capital,
surplus, and undivided profits of state
institutions is $129000 while the aver
age for national banks is $293,000.

OFFICER KNOWN HERE
GETS HIGH POSITION

Rear. Admiral Hugh Rodman, U. S.
NJ, who, according to an announcement
recently made by the navy department,
is in command of the battleships aetu
ally operating in European VOTERS, is
Of an old Kentucky family which has
furnished many valuable men to both
the Army and the Navy.
Admiral Rpdman was graduated with
the Naval Academy class of 1882 and
has consequently been in active service
for thirty six years, of which upwards
Of twenty nine years have been spent
at sea.
At the Naval Academy, the man
who is graduated at the bottom of
his class is known as the "ahchOr'
man. Rodman missed this by just one
number, but even then he stood well
in gunnery, seamanship and the profes
sional studies, though he was far from
being mathematician.
He is classmate of Vice Admiral
Sims and Rear.Admiral Niblack and
it is noteworthy that these three mem
bers of this class are all on duty in
Europe and that all three of them
received their promotions through Sc
lection for merit and not in the or
binary course of seniority.
For three years Admiral ROdman
was captain of the yard at the Homo
lulu naval station.
