OUR BANK SAVINGS SAFE

viously by secret agents of Germany,
to the effect that savings banks de-

difficult to believe that any person
in America would credit such re-
port for an instant. Secretary Nc
Adoo says that the atsurdity of
these statements is manifest, but
in order to allay the fears of a few
who might be alarmed by such re-
ports, he repeats officfelly that these
rumors are wholly baseless.
