Did Not Promise
To Communicate
With President
- Asaoolated Preaa.l

Washington, Jan. S1.-The story
that Count Czernin told Austrian
delegates he had sent a copy Of his
war aims speech to President Wilson
in advance Of delivery was exploded
yesterday by a cable received at the
state department quoting an extract
from The Berliner Tageblatt OF yes
terday explaining that, refusing to
transmit his address directly to the
President, Czerntn said he would get
1t Immediately by telegraph
The Tageblatt said:
1T would be wrong TO take Czern-
ms statement too literally and to
believe that the American president
received directly or indirectly from
Austria q special report on the
speech. The facts are as follows:
"a Socialist delegate requested
Czernin to transmit his reply to VIII
son through the intermediary Of a
neutral country. Czernin refused
saying Wilson would get 1t, the
speech, Immediately by telegraph
Thus the expression at the same
hour Is not TO be taken literally.
With the exception Of Czechs and
the socialists who preferred direct
communication to Wilson, all others
were satisfied with Czernin's reply.
LIT can be reiterated that there was no
direct communication, and that the
good offices Of neutral powers were
not requested"

VILLA WRECKS TRAIN
and LOOTS VILLAGE

Juarez, Mexico, Jan. 31.--More than
ITO soldiers and passengers were
killed by Villa followers Saturday 20
miles south of Santa Rosalia, when
the Villa troops dynamited a work
train going to Relano to repair the
railroad line and remove the debris
of the passenger train which was
robbed and burned there Wednesday,.
This information was received here
last night from the south by num-
Der Of reliable persons, and was not
denied by the authorities.
Francisco Villa led the attack on
the work train in person, according
to these sources, with Martin Lopez
second in command. After killing or
executing all of the Mexican work
men and train guards who fought for
eight hours, the Villa followers pro-
ceeded to Santa Rosalia, where only
125 soldiers were stationed. They
killed a number of these during the
lighting, executed others and then
looted the place. Villa did not par
ticipate in the sacking of Santa
Rosalia, according to reports.

American Shipping Has
Made Tremendous Net Gain
Despite Submarine Warfare
~ Assoclated s.ress.l

New York, Jan. S1.-In the twelve
months Of unrestricted warfare
launched against American and allied
shipping by Germany one year ago
Friday, there have been sunk by
submarines, mines and raiders 6g
American vessels, totalling 17l,O6l
gross tons, according to careful
compilation of records of sinkings
which have been made pubic dur
ing the Period.
Offsetting this loss Of American
vessels. most of which were sailing
ships, the United States since Feb
/ has added to her merchant marine
by the seizure of former German and
Austrian owned ships a total OF lOI
vessels having a gross tonnage OF
6S6, 494, leaving on the credit side OF
the American ledger in the account
with the central powers, a net gain
Of 515,433 gross tons. The loss OF
life caused by the sinkings OF the 6S
American ships was more than SOO
persons, however.
The percentage of sinkings Of Am
erican ships compared with the num-
Der of vessels which have sailed
through the war zone successfully is
small. Records of the department
of commerce show that for the period
beginning with Feb. /, 1917, and end
ing with Dec. 1, there were cleared
from American ports in the foreign
trade ships aggregating ll,lSS'SOO'
net, or approximately 24,8S4, 46O gross
tons. The number of ships making
up the total of tons was not maze
public by the department.
Further offsetting the loss OF tom
mage occasioned by the submarine
warfare, the United States through
the shipping board requisitioned in
American shipyards 426 vessels
totaling more than 100000 gross
tons and contracts have been award
ed for 884 ships, a large number or
which are now under way and are
being rushed to completion. In addl-
ton, the shipping board on Oct. 10,
last, placed under government
393 American vessels or
over $500 tons dead weight capacity
which are already af1oat and immedi-
ately assigned them to the task or
carrying supplies for the allies ana
the American forces abroad.
Included in these requisitioned yes
sells were q ships in Great Lakes
trade, and in addition there were
"a steamers building

ready for launching.

NOW BANKER
TO The WORLD
Banking Power of Nation
More Than 81 Billions,
Comptroller's Report
CBy Associated Press.)

Washington, Jan. 31.-How the
United States has become the domi-
nant banking power Of the world,
was shown in the annual report of the
comptroller of the currency, John
Skeiton Williams, presented Wednes-
day to congress.
Comptroller williams estimated the
whole banking power of the nation at
$37 ,629, 100000, an increase of more
than $4,000, 100000 since the begin
ming OF President Wilson'S admins
tration. Taking the latest estimate
or the banking power of the world,
placed in 1890, at SIS, 900, he
said Americas increase was alone
nearly equal to the worlds combined
banking power 81 years ago.
National banks of the United
States, Comptroller Williams declar-
ed to be stronger, safer, more OBJ
servants of laws and more efficiently
managed than ever before. Their re-
sources-$15, 55S, 1877, O00-are greater
by more than two billion dollars than
ever before, and exceed by about the
same amount the combined resources
of all combined resources of all state
banks, private banks, and trust COM
panies. Under three years of the fed
eral reserve system, national banks
resources have increased more than
100000, 900. Comptroller Williams,
however, coupled his report of this
enormous growth with a warning that
duties and responsibilities have in
creased not less than the resources.
Should Not pissipate Capital.
cit IS OF supreme Importance, he
said, 'that allurements Of profits from
commerce or industry in this country
or in neutral countries, not essential
to our success in the war, should not
induce us to divert or dissipate the
capital or financial resources of our
people"
The danger OF overcapitalization
and consequent shrinkage Of values
OF securities, 3, the comptroller warn
ed, is real. First relief, he thought,
might come before state commissions
and municipal authorities, and he ex-
pressed the hope that congress would
provide for advancing money to cor
porations where necessary to insure
proper service to the government.
The proposal is unusual, the comp
troller admitted, but he pointed out
that the times are unusual.
Urges Guarantee of Deposits.
Government guarantees of bank de-
posts In sums under 1000 the comp
troller believed, would bring into use
much boarded money, and he renew
ed his recommendation Of such law.

HALF EARNINGS
TO GOVERNMENT
CBy Associated Press.)

New York, Jan. S1.-The United
States Steel corporation paid to the
federal government more than hair
its earnings in the final quarter or

corporation, issued yesterday.
Total earnings for that period
amounted to $50, 724,125, making al
lowance for $50, $50, 364 paid into the
government treasury as war income
and excess profits. Net income for
the final quarter was $4s,0S5,s44 and
surplus for the same period amount
ed to S16,25S,272.
This compares with total earnings

327 and surplus of $21 1924, 554 for the
previous quarter. In keeping with
expectations the directors declared
an extra" dividend Of 8 per cent on
the common stock, in addition to the
regular common dividend of Ia and
preferred of 1&. Including a Red
Cross dividend of one per cent, voted
in the second quarter, total disburse-
ments on the common shares for 1917

Total earnings for 1917 amounted
to 1891, 668, 181 after charging OF
$212, 467,249 to government taxes,
etc. 1t is expected this amount will

final returns are made to Washing
ton.
In 1916 when no appropriations
were made for war income and excess
profits, the corporations total earn
ings were $342,997, 092. The state
ment for the last quarter of 1917 al
SO shows that $55,000,0 900 has been
for expenditures made
and to be made including new plants
and construction. The balance Of
surplus for the year amounting to
$50 1855, OF compares with a net ball
ance of $50, 681, 1862 reported in the
final quarter of 1916.
