per cent of the aggregate was in the

funds available even at those fig
ures. There is no indication that
there will be any real Improvement
in the money situation until after
the f1otation Of the Liberty Loan.
The government continues to make
heavy Withdrawals from day to day,
so that the banks are always con-
fronted with the necessity of keep
ing funds available to meet such
demands. This is, Of course, nor
mally a period of the year when
money rates tend to harden, for the
crops have to be moved and that
takes great deal of credit. 1t is
to be expected that as time goes

amount that will be made available
for the essential enterprises.

O'Reilly was by this time suffering
the full reaction from the events of

exhaustion than he dreamed, but, con-
.quering his repugnance for his unes-
capable task, he lowered himself once
more into the well. His arms were
weak, however, and his fingers numb,
so ne fell rather than slid the length of
the rope. He managed to open the
door OF the treasure chamber, then en-
tered and loaded his pockets with gold.
He sent up the Jewel box at the end Of
the rope, dragged the body of Cobo into
the cave, then wedged the barricade
back into place. 1t required the COM

Norm eyed the ragged speaker scorn-

500 SURVIVORS
Of Torpedoed Tuscania
Are Landed at Irish
Port

An Irish Port, Feb. T.. Early yester

troops and members of the. crew OF
the torpedoed troop ship Tuscania,
were landed at this port. Survivors
, have been landed at other Irish and
Scottish ports. so it is difficult to es-

but it is believed they will total less

The Tuscania was part OF a we'll

the Irish coast when, just as darkness
dropped on Tuesday evening and with
out sign OF a submarine torpedo
, struck the liner full amidships. The
| track of another torpedo was lmmedl-

No Panic Was Shown
Without panic and in splendid order,
the men reached the boat stations, but
the work of lowering the boats was
hampered by the tremendous list of
the liner. One or two of the first Sc
ries Of boats manned capsiZed while
being lowered. After their occupants
had been thrown into the water other
boats were let down right on top Of
them and it is feared several men lost
their lives in this way.
The liner continued to float con-
