Bankers Ready for Loan.
From the New York Times.

n Annahst makes a calculation of the resources OF all banks
just as the controller OF the currency makes a similar statement of
the condition OF the national banks. The resources of 2s1l1 banks
total over $4oooo,ooo,0oo. having increased from 500 900 100000 in
1916 by something over ST, 000O0OO0O i'm each of the two wears 1916
M l9lI. The controllers statement refers especially to profits and
soundness OF condition. For the first half OF 1918 tile potts increased
over last year $6244SOOO, to 20 per cent ON the total capital of all
national banks, surprising all records. These unprecedented earnings
have been accompanied by "a radical reduction in interest rates in
all parts OF the country, and the practical extinction of the barbarous
usury which until recently was being charged by some banks in
certain sections"
That the prosperity of the banks has not tempted their officers
INTO unwlse ventures appears from the fact that thus far in 1918
there has not been a single national bank failure. Only once has this
record been cqualcd, and during the same time there were % failures
OF other bank institutions in IA states. During the year preceding
the last statement of national banks, ON June 90, their resources had
increased $l,6ss.Do0o0o, to nearly Sis, 0oo0o000o, or to Il value
exceeding that OF all the gold mined in the world since the discovery
OF America. During that year deposits increased ST. $40 100000 and
loans increased %$80S,000O0. 1t is apparent that the deposits are not
OF the sort which are created by the granting of leans to depositors
and credits to them on the books of tho banks. To the extent at
least OF the excess of the increase oil deposits over loans. they must
have been derived from the resources of depostors. that is from
profits, or wages, IT economies.

Safety for Liberty Bonds.

\ number of Chicago banks. some in
the downtown district and others in out
lying sections. have been giving free and
safe storage of Liberty bonds to those Of
their regular customers who nave no suit
able place in which to keep those secur-
tiles. The ~advisability of extending this
benefit to the public at large has been
under discussion for some time among the
local banks and now a few of them have
made formal announcement OF their In
tentlon to accept Liberty bonds for safe
keeping from any holder without charge
or restriction Of any sort.
The action is enlightened n patriotic.
It IL made particularly timely by reason
Of the fact that preparations are under
way for another nationwide campaign for
the sale of a fourth issue of Liberty bonds.
Hundreds of thousands Of new and small
investors have come into the field vince
the United States government began to
make appeals to the patriotism n the
self interest of the people in placing its
great war loans. Many Of the purchasers

AUSTRIAN SAILOR
TELLSO OF SINKING
Audacity of Italian Motor Boat
Grew Enabled It to Es-
cape Destruction.
BY HENRY WOOD.
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT.

Rome, (by mail)-Hungarian papers
have just reached Italy by way of
Switzerland containing an interview
with one Of the survivors of the AUS
TRAN cruiser Santot Stefano, sunk by
an Italian motorboat under the com.
mand Of Commander Rizzo.
The interview contains graphic de-
tails OF this new form Of naval combat
which has .been developed exclusively
by the Italians since the beginning Of
the war. The sea going motor boats
with whic hthe Italian navy is now
harassing the Austrian fleet are SINH
lar to the thousands Of motorboats to
be found at every sea and lake resort
in America. In only one respect do
they differ, and that is the two torpedo
tubes at the sides, from which deadly
torpedoes glide out into the water.
Combats between these little boats
and h huge Austrian warships re-
semble to a certain degree a submarine
and warShip encounter, except that the
m~otorboat commanders. unable to save
themselves by submerging, talk a
thousand times more chances, meeting
the foe in open combat and counting
on the smallness of their craft and their
speed and cleverness in maneuvering.
This is the way the novel combat
in which the Santo Stefano went down
20 and his motorboat looked to the
Hungarian sailor aboard the doomed
Austrian cruiser:
"At a o'clock in the afternoon we
received orders to prepare for sailing.
We left T'ola (the Austrian naval
base) at 10 in the evening. Toward
$3.50 in the morning we discovered
that nm italian ynnfnrhnof Vyyoc only n
short distance from us, n q moment
afterwards there were two terrific
detonations.
Immediately all electric lights went
out. Wirless apparatus ceased to
work, and C the pumps were put
out Of commission. SO that we were
obliged to work the pumps by hand to
keep the water down. In order to
tighten the ship we threw overheard
all our heavy munitions.
After two hours of terrific work
we were forced to recognize that there
was no hope. Toward 6 in the MORN
ing he bridge gave way and the cap
tain, who had been standing on it
was plunged into he sea. but sue
.ceeded in regaining the ship by swim
ming.
"Our signals no longer worked. and
finally the captain fired three revolver
shots az a signal for the entire crew
to stand by and line up on deck. Some
SO sailors who were working in the
bottom of the ship failed to hear the
signal and remained below. With
them was Lieutenant Bowls.
AFTER the usual ceremony the chap.
lain gave IS final %absolution, just at
the moment that the battleship began
to go down. We threw ourselves into
the sea, and after three quarters of an
hour were picked up by torpedo boats
that were escorting US. There were
also picked up the bodies of several of
the sailors who were drowned in the
bottom of the ship, and those were in
TERED later with military honors at
Pola."

Through a Barrel to Fceedem.
From the Kansas City Times.

According to y writer in the Scientific
American who has survived the expert
ence himself. many Belgians have escaped
into Holland from their oppressed country
by crawling through a bottomless barrel
placed between the electrified wires Of
the fence which marks the border line.
German sentries are, of course. placed
along the line at intervals Of about 200
yards. but these constitute. IL would seem.
the least formidable obstacle to freedom
since. or rainy nights. the most propitious
time for the undertaking. the sentries
naturally prefer to remain under the
shelter OF their sentry boxes; moreover.

added: Among those who appealed t.

declared that If allied assistance wa.

they will surely learn to appreciate.

Of California, and Townsend Of

whom opposed the measure as now
drawn. In the house Reps. Sims OF
Tennessee. and stephens Of Nebras-
ka. democrats. championed the
draft OF the house committee. Gov
eminent ownership Of railroads was
advocated by the California senator
and by Rep Stephens.
Sen. Townsend pointed out many
alleged defects In the bill, assert
ing that 1t was not understood by
many committee members and that
the railroads are supporting the
measure in expectation OF rate in
creases. He said he doubted Wheth-
or the government could enforce the
provision prohibiting railroads from
paying dividends higher than their
regular rates
Would Give President Power.
Rep. Sims urged particularly the
the adoption Of provisions giving
the president power 20 esta blish
rates and 10 retain control Of the
carriers two years after peace is de-
clared. He asserted that govern
ment control should disrupt private
management as little as possible.
Sen Norris criticized what he
called excessive compensation pro-
vided for the railroads and said the
provision for rate making by the
president was unnecessary and un-
wise"
In neither body today was there
a large attendance for the discus
sion. Under the terms OF the SEN

Buying of Foods
Should Be Start
Of Conservation

Perhaps not many women realize
that food conservation should not
have its beginning in the kitchen.
but that the matter should fsure in
TO things when the foods are bought.
In purchasing by weight, the express
sion OF this weight in terms of
measure is almost lost sight OF by
most women. Very few women
would think OF buying bananas ex-
cept by the pound, but not many
realize that they will get only three
medium bananas in a pound. Such
a common commodity as potatoes
OF course are always purchased by
weight, but il is very important 10
realize that there are Is pounds of
potatoes IN a peck and that this
same 10 pounds also represents
about so medium sized potatoes. In
other words If a housekeeper buys
pound OF potatoes, she viii get
medium sized potatoes and one lit
tie one thrown in for full weight
In pound OF small prunes there
are about 40 prunes. while if the
prunes are large they are about IS.

ton Of weight and measure and also
brings about the difference in the
