Question Of the Savings Banks.
From the F~inancier.

Congress and state legislatures are taking cognizance of the
trying position of the average savings bank. The war corporation
bill carries a proyso that these institutions may appeal to the war
bank for loans or good collateral. New York has granted to the
mutual savings banks the privilege of investing a reasonable pro-
portion OF their deposits IN bankers acceptances. The Massachu-
sets legislature is considering a similar bill.
AS the two statesin question report between them over $3,O00,
100000 of savings deposits, il. will be seen that a method of LIQUID
investment has been provided for institutions which are susceptible
to every wave of public feeling or opinion.
~ The position o., the savings banks in the east has been peculiar.
The greater part of their funds is invested IN gilt edged securities,
usually selling at a premium The decline in bond values had the
effect OF reducing surplus. More than that, it was a foregone con-
ciuslon that any effort at realization, due to fancied necessity, must
further depress the bond market.
The several bond loans caused Withdrawals from savings banks
IN considerable amounts; instaIment payments on individual bond
purchases had a. tendency to interfere with savings bank deposits;
even thrift stamp buying cuts into the savings bank routine. AS
the mutual banks are not members of the reserve system, and can
get no aid from it except indirectly, the more conservative among
them felt 1t necessary to become strong in cash, even though the
operation represented sacrifice.
Now that the war corporation is in a position to furnish aid
when necessary, and also because the banks are able to carry
resources IN gilt edged short time paper, they can regard the future
with a feeling of equanimity. 1t has been asserted that some of the
long prevailing weakness in the bond market has been brought
about either by savings bank selling, or through. their withdrawal
as buyers. Regardless Of whether this is or is not true, the legisla-
ton mentioned should have a stabllAng effect on high class bonds
for the reason, first, that savings banks will be under no pressure
to sell, and, secondly, because they need'have no further hesitation
in buying.

Lesson For the Huns.
From the PITTSBURGH Post.

At amy there are a number Of
Germans, interned for the war. They
consist Of raiders from the Pacific,
civilian offenders, and others. At night
they are locked in a row of cells In charge
of an officer and guard. Every morning
when the guard was relieved the officer
would say: II wish some OF those -
Dutch would try to escape 80 I could have
an excuse to shoot three or four of
them" However, they wouldn't tell why,
leaving 1t to the next officer to. find out.
When 1t came to a certain guards turn

took him back. and locked him up again.
He had no more than reached his chair
than the performance was repeated from
No. Q cell. Ditto No. 3. About this time
the guard ''tumbled,'. but the perform-
ance continued until 1t had been repeated
by the entire q Germans In succession.
He then ratified each cell door and made
the prisoners line up.

On his return to London Immediately
after, Admiral Hood repeated Prince
Lichnowsky's statement to several per-
sons and, among others, to a Harvard
professor of worldwide reputation, who
repeated il to me soon after he came
back to Boston. Admiral Hood, ] need
hardly remind You, married a well known
Boston lady and had himself many
friends and acquaintance, including the
Harvard professor, in Boston society. I
printed the story in my Germany versus
Civilization more than two years ago,
but ! did not give Admiral Epod as its
source because he was then in active
service in the British navy. He went
down with his ship, as every one knows,
in the battle of Jutland, and there can
be no inpropriety in naming him now.
In the light of such evidence. how long
will even the German people go on be-
~lieving the lie which the kaiser passed
off on them at the beginning of the war
when he assured them that the SWORD
had been forced into his hands?

DR.. Paul Hiidebrandt, IN
The sixth grade pupils of 1914 are
now about to be promoted to the upper
to the war. Who can wonder then h a
now in the fourth year Of wal our chill
dren exhibit signs OF change? Too
many of the restraints have been re-
moved which should shape their devel-
opment-the loosening of falssily ties,
the father at the front, the mother en-
ployed away from home, and in the
lower ranks of society doing the work
of men; the omission Of school disci-
pline. or the teachers Of the Berlin
public schools, for instance, two-thirds
have gone into the army. The re-
manner are overworked. Dropping class
periods, or combining classes together
are the order of the day.
Young people follow the law of their
nature. They are guided by the impress
sions of the moment and they cannor
permanently resist them. In addition,
as time went on, especially in case OF
the students Of higher institutions. and
particularly in the towns, The hardship
of inadequate ~nourishment appeared. 1t
is the unanimous judgment of medica!
specialists that the children of the
middle classes suffered most in this
respect. Genera attention was at
tracted to the fac hat the children
were less sensitive to reproof. that they
paid no more attention to threats, be-
cause the school authorities had
directed that they should be treated
with every leniency. and since promo

lions no longer represented any definite
standard Of accomplishment:
That spirit of voluntary service
which at the beginning Of the war re-
vealed itself in IT'S fairest aspect has
now disappeared. Everywhere we hear
lamentations over the increasing dis
taste shown for military service. Pupils
collect articles now for the reward, not
from patriotism, and the older pupils
have their struggles. Shall they take
advantage Of the opportunity to leave
school with a half completed education.
or shall they avoid placing themselves
in a position where they will have to
enlist for their country? What an un-
happy indecision ever for the best OF
them, those who really think about the
matter!
Furthermore, in these ranks Of
society which are less influenced by
find increasing violations of the law.
AT the first this manifested itself
merely in an increase Of theft. More
recently it has taken a decided turn
toward personal assaults. 1t is true,
the latter are still negligible in proper
ton to the total number Of juvenile
%offenses, u they are increasing every
year. Already the number Of violent
crimes committed by youths in the city
of Berlin is more than three times the
number reported in 1914.
Thus. dark shadows are falling over
the brilliant picture of 1914. Every dis
culinary influence, every effort Of the
still fundamentally sound German ma
ton must be exerted to oppose this
tendency, and to lead the children back
to the path Of rectitude.
