PRO. GERMAN RUMORS
 ABOUT BANK SAVINGS

Washington, Sept. 12.-Secretary McAdoo made the following state ment:
 My attention has been called to an insidious propaganda that is be- ing carried on, probably by secret agents of Germany, to SOW the seeds of distrust in the minds of savings bank depositors by false rumors that the United States Gov ernment is contemplating the con fiscation of the savinga of the people. The absurdity of these statements is manifest. In order, however, to allay the fears of the few who might be alarmed by such reports, I repeat that these rumors are wholly baseless.

WORK OF BRITISH AIRNEEN

Among the many wonders of the was nothing is more striking than the development of the Royal Air Force. !.
 Four years ago the British possessed considerably fewer than loo aeroplanes. Now the Royal Air Force alone destroys in an average wees a considerably larger number of enemy aeroplanes than Britain possessed when war began.
 The officially recorded figures for a single month illustrate the com batant activities of the R. A. F.; in the month Of June last, the mum her ot enemy aircraft brought down (which means destroyed) by the British alone was 314, whilst the aumber driven down out of con trol was 16S.
 X, against that total of 4S2 enc ny machines destroyed or driven 3owr, l6S British machines were re ported missing for the same period. Another month shows SIS enemy aircraft accounted for, with only 12S British machines missing.
 During one month. our airmen firs7 at ground targets 915,3OS rounds of machine gun ammunition.
 During the same month British airmen dropped S53 tons of bombs over different military Objectives, aLG made no fewer than "A separ- ate bcmoing raids ever Germany itself; apart from work over the bat tIe area, and engaging nearly 2,0OO enemy batteries.
 These are figures of combatant wOrs only. h single month the R. A. F. have taken well over 4O,- OUO photographs over the enemy lines,
 There is also the work carried ous by our airmen in cooperation with the artillery, by means of which :he fire of the gunners is di- rected with precision upon enemy guns and gun emplacements, billets, transports, dumps, railways, and concentrations of troops.
 Daring the year ending June 20, 1918, British airmen have account a for considerably over 4,00O enc my craft, whilst the number of British machines reported missing ia eha same period was just over 1000.
 The Royal Air Force now adds to it's resources every few days as much as it's total resources at one period of war, whilst it's personnel has now been multiplied more than two hundred times.
 Apart from new production, which are oE course enormous, the R. A. F. HOW reconstructs many more ma chimes in a month than Britain pos sessad altogether at one stage of the war.
