One Of the largest OIL. tank steans

There was Q heavy explosion and the
decks were flooded with burning oil.
fThe cargo consisted largely of benzine..

tho fire was extinsuished. Then divers

forthwith taken to repairing port.
New Pump 10 Valuable.
A showing how valuable is the new
submersible electric motor pump, q
recently torpedoed ship which carried
q cargo (mainly foodstufs) Of more
than $15. 600, 900 value had hole 40
feet long by % feet deep in her side.
She was taken in tow by rescue tugs,
but went down before time had served
10 beach her suitably. No ordinary
pumping power would have served the
need, but the new type pump enabled
stokehold, engine room and all her af.
ter holds to be pumped out. so that
cargo could be discharged and the ves-
sa taken higher up the beach. Then
the tightening process was continued
until the vessel was floated and takens
into dock, practically all her cargo be-
ing saved.
The number Of the ships Of the mer-
camille marine actually salved BY the
department in two years from 1915 TO
1917 was 200. All these vessels were
Of big tonnage. For the present year
the monthly totals Of such vessels
salved were: January, II; February,
II March, 81; April. 86, and May, 10.

RAILWAY employees WARNED
AGAINST HAMPERING WORK.

Railroad employees have been re-
minded by Director General McAdoo
that they are employees of the United
States in times of war and that a
strike means blow at their own
government and the hampering of
transportation essential to protect
hundreds of thousands of American
boys fighting on the battlehelds of
Europe.
In telegram to the heads of all
labor unions having shopmen among
their members, Mr.. McAdoo, gave
notice that the government can not
be coerced or intimidated and called
upon railroad men to remain at their
duty and rely upon him and the new
Board of Railroad Wages and Work
ing Conditions for just consideration
of their claims. He asked the union
leaders to urge upon their men by
wire the wisdom and patriotism OF
this course.

MARGUERITE .CLARK'S FIRST
STAGE APPEARANCE.

my first aptitude for the stage

years which 1 spent at the Ursuline
Convent in Ohio" says Marguerite
Clark in the July Motion Picture
Magazine lone afternoon 1 was sent
with a message to the sister who was
rehearsing some of the older girls in
a play. 1t happened that the play
was one from the convent library
with which I was familiar and when
1 arrived, the leading lady was
stumbling very badly over her lines.
Ordinarily, was shy and would new
er have dreamt of speaking to any
of the older girls, so imagine their
surprise, rs we'll as my own, when
I heard r'yself suddenly piping up,
not only the forgotten lines, but the
proper accompanying business as
we'll. Whether the girl refused to
play after that, 1 don't remember,
but the sisters reproving suggestion
that perhaps they would have to let
little Marguerite have the part was
carried out, and I played the leading
role. That was the beginning, and
after that 1 was usually given the
leading parts for lack of anyone else
to do them, / suppose"

What are we afraid Of?
Has Japan ever broken a treaty,
or reduced a solemn obligation to a
scrap of paper?"
Has Japan ever dishonored her
high fame by such brutalities and
frightfulness as Germany has dis
played?
Has Japan ever lied and spied all
over the earth, meddled with every
nations internal affairs and quail
fed for the distinction of being a
world thug?
Did Japan ever sink hospital
ship, lombard a non-military town,
reduce the population of conquered
territory to slavery, use poison gas,
batter down cathedrals, cruelty cap
tives or hand vanquished women
over to the lusts of the soldiery?
Has Japan, in her official capacity,
ever acted otherwise than with the
highest honor, the most scrupulous
morality, the truest chivalry?

STOCK MARKET

New York, May 11-Opening: Specialties featured the strong open ing of todays stock market, the usual leaders recording only nominal changes. Distillers was exceptionally active, advancing three points in the first half hour. Other prominent is sues included Industrial Alcohol, Mex ican Petroleum, Associated Oil, Lin seed, American Sugar and Marine pre- ferred at gains of one to two points. United States Steel advanced a large fraction with Bethlehem Steel and American Car. Railroads f1uctuated narrowly with metals. Sumatra To. baccos BE point break was the only noteworthy decline. Liberty 4 A sold at the new low rate of 98.86.
 Closing - Trading continued in large volume with vigorous upward movement in equipments and numer- ous specialties, including oils, sugars, tobaccos, Marine preferred, Distillers, and less prominent issues at extreme gains of one to three points. United States Steel was variable. recovering the greater part of yesterdays mod crate reversal, then reacting but strengthening again in the later deal ings. Railroads and coppers were heavy, causing some reduction of gen. eral gains at the end. The closing was strong. Sales, 50O,000 shares. Lib erty A sold down from 98.40 to 9S.20.

sNme money is on a per cent ba- is and the market is without un- lsual features. Call money has rang Id from 2 to, per cent during the nonth, with 4 to as the common |ange. Considering the heavy pay nents in sight, for the Liberty Loan nd taxes and the enormous turn yer in trade and industry, the situa- ion is easier than might be expect d, but this is explained by the in- reased resort to the Federal Re |erve banks. The gain in freight de- |yer1es and increased marketing of 7ain and live stock since the first of Sarch has promoted more rapid movement of funds. There is good distribution of commercial paper the ountry over, and current require 'aents of money seem to be satisfac- orily met.
 The Federal Reserve banks have aken care of the commercial loan ex- ansion this spring. At the opening f the campaign for the Second Lib rty loan early last October, the to- al earning assets of the Federal Re erve banks were $580, 1851, ,0OO. They ose from that to 1,0S1,022,000 or December 21, by which time the loar yas mainly paid up, then gradually eclined to s951, 9S9, ,000 on February 5, from which they had risen to $1,. S6, ,162, 900 on April 26. The loan:
 nd investments of the member anks reporting to the Federal Re. erve Board, other than those secur' d by the government obligations, az
 regated $9,9855, 734, 1000 on April 19 yhich compares with $9,574, ,074, ,00( n December 28, and $9,941, ,331, ,O0t n March 1. But while the member anks have been keeping down theil
 oldings of loans to customers (by re
 accounting at the Federal Reserve anks) they have been increasing leir holdings of government securi
 es from $S91, ,626, 900 on Decembe1

out of the proceeds of the Third Lib erty Loan, but that operation will probably involve a further increase of individual loans. There is no lodging the fact that these figures show continual expansion. The total earning assets of the twelve Federal Reserve banks in April, 1917, were about $25S, 100000.
 Of course, this increase of loans is accompanied by an increase of de- posits, and it is surprising how many persons, even among bankers, com ment upon increasing deposits under | these conditions as a favorable sign. They argue from increasing deposits an increasing ability to make loans, although every banker must know from his own experience that these deposits are due to the growth of the loans. It is an obvious fallacy to SUD- pose that deposits which are created by loans increase the capacity of the banks to make more loans A bank customer borrows and takes credit in his account; he checks the sum out in the course of business and his check becomes a deposit in another bank; the same thing is going on in tens of thousands of instances, and the volume of bank deposits is swol- len in each instance, and remains swollen except as drawn upon to pay off bank loans. The latter action constitutes the only method by which this process of imitation is counter acted.
 This increase of bank deposits is not matter for tD1atiOnS means imitation, a corresponding in- crease of prices, higher war costs, and a greater indebtedness to be paid off after the war.-National City Bank of New York
