supply of stocks Small.

A substantial part of the rise yestc,.-
day was attributed TO the fact that the
floating supply in stocks is small, SO that
when n buyer appeared for a fair
amount OF shares he was forced 10 bid
up the price in order to secure the stock
Attention Is also directed to the fact
that the output OF new shares is prac-
tically nothing. Loans in brokerage
houses are at a minimum, thus indicat-
ing that there is no oversprculation at
present.

Smaller Dividends for Some Banks
Discussing the proposed amendment
banker said yesterday:
"1f adopted this amendment will have
two effects. 1t will make the limitation
of interest to be paid on out of town
bank balances an ironclad ruling. and
it will tend to drive into the Federal
Reserve Bank all of this countrys COL
lection business Even though the
amendment will force the payment OF
smaller dividends by some country
banks. I believe it is In the best in
terest of all bankers concerned, and Il
should strengthen still further the efforts
to get State banks and trust companies
into the Federal reserve system. where
they belong"
The amendment on collections divides
section into two classes and as adopted
yesterday reads as follows:
"A. On acceptances OF banks, bankers
and trust companies. located in Federal

Banks Beat Rule.

Some banks. however. have found
way to beat this ruling In tie competi-
ton for out OF town bank balances by
paying the country banks UNREASONABLE
high exchange charges or granting them
permission to remit once a week, giving
the country bank virtually a weeks use
of the money and permitting II to pay
larger dividends than otherwise could
have been paid. To obviate this ir-
regularity a resolution was presented at
yesterdays Clearing House session to
limit the payment of exchange or other
charges or the allowance of time to tne
charges and time allowed by the Federal
Reserve Bank. This resolution. under
the bylaws, will have TO be voted upon
at the next meeting of the Clearing
House, and 1t Is understood that meet
ing has been called for next Monday for
this purpose.
Important bankers here expect that
the following proposed amendment will
bankers, but 1t has been presented at
the request OF the Federal Reserve Bank
and in the interest of uniformity:
Article II, section 2: No member of
this association or Bank or trust COM
pany or others clearing through any
member shall pay exchange or other
charges or allow time, in connection
with the collection OF any item collecti-
BILE through the Federal Reserve banks,
but which is collected through other
sources. in excess of the charges which
would have been payable or the time al
lowed had such items been collected

An interview with Miss Zaion2
causes one to abandon all conceal
ment of the fact that the big
question In the mind of every
reader of the achievements of the
Russian Amazons, and the big
question in every mind at every
suggestion of active fighting by
women has been:
VIII not the sex element,
interfere?
And Miss Zaionz answers
frankly that the sex barrier
is insuperable.
There are two big, primal
human impulses" she said, sum-
ming up the significance of her
experiences" = self preservation
and the continuance of the species.
They are the fundamental laws
of existence.
Race Cry First.
Continuance of the race comes
first because race must be perpet-
uated before 1t can be either pre-
served or destroyed.
1.-THE race is continued by the
sex impulse, the self-defense urge,
of which war is an expression,
merely preserving the race.
Therefore, as the narrowing
Russian tragedies which went for
ward under my very eyes prove
the sex barrier is stronger than
the barricades against the foe.
And mankind, In the chaos which
war implies, will not permit wom-
en- to fight.
Attacked by Men.
1.-THE women who did join, II
they had been sent to the assem-
bly, barracks in Petrograd or had
gone into the trenches, had to de-
fend those barracks and trenches
against their own male soldiers.
Women will never play an i'm
portant part as active soldiers in
any war. There's no sense In
cloaking this fact. The world
might as well admit the truth and
quit talking nonsense.

women was wiped out not by the
enemy but by Russian men,"

'"The big thing" said General Buck, fin this war was the arrival of the Americans in force In France. There were big things be- fore 1t, but that accomplishment was a marvel, and the deciding factor. The Germans were not alone in their doubt of the possibility of getting ten thousand men a day into France for four long months. That's what was done. however. and the men in that vast contingent developed and maintained morale second to no fighting men on earth. They were brought there through the fine work of the British.

 Prisoners Fail To Arrive
 "The boat arrived there with the sixty Rumanians, but three days passed and no boat arrived with the exchanged Bolsheviki prisoners.
 There were three Austrian moni- tors and an old Rumanfan cruiser in the harbor, and the Austrian n commander of the monitors declined 10 recognize the safe conduct, and 1t was not countersigned by an Aus rian authority.
 Colonel Boyle's reply was that he would put to sea next morning It 10 o'clock, and publicly ordered his crew to be ready to man the lit 'le two-inch gun. He also sent a wireless to Sebastopol stating the facts, and adding that by the next morning he would probably be sunk, but would have done his duty.
 "The Rumanian commander, anx ious to avert the slaughter, arranged | meeting on board his ship for 9 o'clock in the morning. Colonel Boyle agreed to go, but said that he would not alter his decision, and that if he was sunk at 10 o'clock it would at least show the world one instance # an Austrian officer keeping his word.
 The Austrian, however, wired to Mackensen for instructions, and at } o'clock in the morning he received orders to let Boyle and his refugees 20. They sailed on the point of 10 o'clock, and all reached Jassy safely
