ALBANY, Sept. 26.- Exhaustive in
vestlgatlons to ascertain the cause and,
if possible, to effect cure of the
epidemic of influenza which is preya-
lent i'll the country have been begun
by the state laboratory, Commissioner
Hermann NJ. Biggs of the State Health
Department announced tonight. At
present there is no known cure for
the disease, he said.
Commissioner Biggs said strict quar-
antlne measures, such as ordinarily
would be taken against other infec-
tlous diseases, while theoretically de-
slrabie, are not practicable in view Of
the highly contagious character and
the widespread extent OF the malady
and the general susceptibility to it.

BANKERS OPPOSE
 GUARANTY LAW
EXECUTIVE COUNCIL OF AMERi. CAN BANKERS ASSOClA-
 TON ACTS.
SESSION AT HOT SPRINGS
Object To Bill For Guaranty of Bank Deposits of 5000 or Under and That Which Imposes New Pen
 alties For Usury.
Hot Springs

Hot Springs
 At the meeting of the executive council of the American Bankers As. soctation, unanimous approval was given to the action of the committee on federal legislation. and vigorously opposing two of the banking measures now pending in Congress. The two bills to which the bankers are partic- ularly oposed are known as the bill for the guaranty of bank deposits of s5,000 or under. and that which I'm poses new penalties for usury. While there are bank deposit guaranty laws in several of the Western States. the bankers have always opposed the prin- ciple involved in the guaranty idea. Tho executive council of the associa ton is opposing this measure which they assert makes tho assets of the strong, well-managed bank available to pay the losses that may be caused by incompetent or defective supervi- sion.
 To the law defnin usury the bank CTS have no objection, but they do ob- ject seriously to the penalties impos. ed in the pending bill. because they would include penalization for con structive usury as the result of errors, or oversight.
 Of the other measures affecting banking that are now before Congress. some were approved and suggestions were made for changing the form Of others.
 It was reported at the meeting that the membership of the American Bankers Association is 1S.147 banks.

SEEK BETTER PAY
 FOR THE VETERANS
Increased Cost of Living Proves Hardship on Aged
 Confederates
nr WILLIAM l.. GoRMLEY

Montgomery, December 2S.-(Special) Jefferson county's delegation in the Ala hama legislature, which meets on Janu- ary 14, will be expected eo introduce and stand behind bill which will provide for helpless Confederate veterans who are crowded out of the Soldiers home, Another section of the bill would grant increased pensions to the veterans' enough to aid them in meeting the high cost of living. The latter clause is said 10 take the place of a separate bill which was planned to be introduced.
 Confederate veterans will get the sup port of the majority of the representa- tives and senators, it is believed, be- cause there are few of the Civil war soldiers living. Leaders of the agitation for increased pensions believe that Ala bama should pay her veterans the same amount paid those who served on the union side. Federal troops are being paid hy the United States treasurer, and 1t is approximately 50 per cent more than southern soldiers are paid.
 The veterans argue that many states in the south have adopted the same pen-

ALLIED COMMISSION
 FINISH INSPECTION HUN NAVAL BASES
Scores of U-BOats Under Construction Found, Ger mans Protesting Against
 Giving Up Vessels
By Associated Press

London, Friday, December 27.-(British Wireless Service.D-Bearng an allied commission which inspected German naval bases and airship and seaplane stations under the terms of the armi- stice, the British battleship Hercules has returned to her home port
 A dramatic episode of the voyage was the passage of the Kiel canal on De- cember IS. Accompanied by the British destroyers Verdun and Vieeroy, the Her cules gave the Germans along the banks of the canal their first sight of the Brit ish flag since 1914. Germans who watched the ship were for the most part, indif- ferentlv curious. Discipline on board the German warships is very low, according to officers of the Hercules. They found, on the first enemy ship boarded, that the sailors were lounging about and the ships in bad condition as result or neg feet.
 Inspection of airship and seaplane sta- tions required considerable land travel, which permitted the members of the conn mission to gain information as to the coiidition of the people in the. interior of the country. It is reported that every- one encountered in Germany. even in such an industrial center as Hamburg, seemed as well clothed and fed as are the peo-
 
 crops, owing to the mild season, are doing well, and the land is well culti- vated and fertilized.
 Admiral Sir Montague Browning, head of the commission, was accompanied by the best men from allied nations available for the work. They met in- terminable objections, obstructions and .evasions by the Germans, bet the com mission ultimately was able to induce the Germans to- find means to fulfill many points of the armistice which they at first flatly refused to carry out
 A notable member of the German commission was Captain Won Muller ot the first Emden, to whom the British press paid tribute at the time his ship was sunk because of his sportsman ship Unfortunately, the identity oi Captain Yon Muller was not definitely known to the allied commission until after the final conference at Kiel was over. N
 Discipline at airship and seaplane stations was better than on the German warsIiips, it is reported.
 The submarine commission pushed its investigations assiduously at Hamburg Bremen and other points, with the re. suit that scores of U-boats, nearly all near completion and hitherto unde- clared by the Germans, were found anc reported Admiral Goette protested te the last against giving up these sub. marines, but at a final conference con sented
