PANIC INCIDENTS
 NOW IMPOSSIBLE
Nv HOLLAND

New York March N.-(Special)-W. r. | G. Harding, one of the original members of the federal reserve board, is under stood to have spoken for the board when
 he reasoned few days ago with the
 bankers of New York, setting forth ar guments why the banks should not es- | tablish interest rates for deposits that
 would result in competition with the government, especially at the time of the
 floating of new loans. There is no doubt
 that in due time the banks will adopt some method which, to use the words of the very able banker, William A. Nash will serve Ito curb the disposi-
 tion some institutions have shown so , to act as to affect money rates" Just at this time, in view of the stag
 nation in the securities market, there is, in comparison with the days of stock
 market activity, little demand for call loans. The influence of the government,
 the moral force exerted by majority of the members of the New York Clear ing House association, have served greatly to change certain conditions or customs that prevailed before the Euro
 pean war began. There is to be less dis position to take technical advantage or the necessities of borrowers.
 The federal reserve bank will exer- else a restraining influence upon insti- tutions which, but for that influence, would be disposed to take undue advan- tage Of conditions.
 Some of the changes that are under way and some which have been estab- lished, as it is believed, permanently, may perhaps be best suggested or illus trated by anecdota1 reference to certain things that were done few years ago by some banks and by some lenders ot money.
 Take, for instance, times of panic. The best opinion now is that the influ- ence and authority of the federal re- serve board at Washington, supplement- ed as it is likely to be by the great powers that are to be given to a govern ment institution with a capital of five hundred million. will be sufficient to prevent any panic, and if panic is pre- vented there can be no recurrence Of certain drastic or excessive arbitrary accidents that characterized panics, es- pecially since 1884.

Oil stock. The result was that he ob- tained at low figure block of Stand ard Oil stock which was worth a good deal more in the market than the quo- tation for it when he made the loan. Mir. Oleott, who was somewhat impul- sive man, got very angry. and he never would permit himself or his bank to have any dealings with that lender Such an incident would be impossible now.

THE BRITISH OFFENSIVE NEAR.

Though the British army is taking a minor have reason to expect it to play major part whenever General Foch gives the word. It bore the brunt of the German onslaught from the middle of March to the middle of April, when the French troops came to it's aid in Flanders and it met the attack of one hundred and two out of the one hundred and twenty-seven Ger man divisions engaged during that period. The Brtis | suffered such terrible losses during that time, that it has needed much time to renew it's strength and fill it's depleted ranks. The entry of the American troops relieved the situation but now the British may De. said to be ready for forward movement.

There was time when the old saying that the people are greater than the government was justified, because they could change that govern ment. But now the reverse applies. The gov ernment is, and must be greater than the people. That the government is not destination, is proven every day.

Yes indeed, Turkey and Bulgaria furnish fine example of counting chickens be- fore they are matched, which often brings dis appointment.
