The rapidly succeeding military only confirm
that the Germans have lost all control of their operations in the
regions of the Somme Avre and Disc rivers but they indicate
that the enemys own retreat is getting out of hand
The effort to stem the French pursuit by fighting rear
guard actions with machine gun sections leaving section at
intervals Of about 400 yards only locally successful
ground especially favorable for that sort of resistance such
the terrain around Roye, gained time for the enemy

ARIZONA BANKS ARE
IN fine CONDITION

PHOENIX, April 8. - State Bank
Comptroller Jesse L. Boyce has issued
a condensed statement of the report
of state and national banks of Arizona
as of March A. 1918. In comparison
with the last previous report, which
was as of Dec. 81, 1917, the report
shows an increase in general resourc-
es of S114,52S, but a decrease in de-
posits of $691, 154.5S.
There are a number of circum-
stances contributing TO the falling Oft
of deposits" stated Comptroller Boyce
today. ''Stockmen throughout the
state have been called upon to pur-
chase feed, and this item alone is con
siderably more than the decrease in
deposits. The cotton situation and
other things could be mentioned, but
the decrease is not one to hardly
cause comment, certainly not serious
comment"
AS shown by the report, the total
assets of state banks amount to $46-
90S,516, while the total assets of ma
tional banks amount to $23, 697 ,604.
This gives a total of more than $40
000, 900 in resources as compared with
S69, S91 900, shown by the statement
of Dec. 81, 1917.
The report shows three less state
banks and corresponding increase in
the number of national banks. Since
the previous report, the Williams
State bank has been consolidated with
the Arizona Central at Flagstaff, the
Williams bank now being branch OF
that institution; the Mesa City bank
at Mesa is now the First National
bank of Mesa, and the Securities State
bank of Glendale is now the First Ma
tional bank of Glendale. In addition
to the above changes, the First Ma
tional bank of Flagstaff has been
opened since the report of Dec. 81.
