Liverpool, Jan. 10.-British, Ameri-
can and French steamship lines inter-
ested in the north Atlantic trade have
pose of governing the passenger busi-
ness of the lines according to an Of
ficial announcement. The alliance
will be known as the Atlantic Con-
ference" replacing a similar organ
ization which existed before the war.
but from which the German and Aus
trian lines are now excluded The
main offices of the organization will
be in Paris.
Would Gust Germany.
The formation OF the new Con-
ference" may be taken as a definite
and far-reaching step towards an
after-war shipping policy in which
the Entente Allies do not propose to
allow Germany to dictate. The old
pre-war Atlantic conference had its
offices at Jena, in the heart of Ger
many, and it held most of its meetings
in Berlin and Cologne. The new con-
ference will consist, for the present
only Of British, American and French
lines. German and Austrian lines are
excluded, and no neutral lines have
yet been admitted.
The underlying idea of the organ.
ization is protective. A representa-
tive of the conference, in talk with
the newspapermen here, said that,
"the primary object is to consolidate,
in commercial sense, the interests. Of
the allies, who have stood shoulder
to shoulder in the war. We must
have everything ready when peace is
declared to endeavor to conserve busi-
ness to the allies and to keep control
of the Atlantic trade. We know what
we have had to suffer in tho past
through the insidious German pene-
tration, and how the German lines
worked always to the prejudice of
other nationalities in spite os their
agreements"
Cooperation Planned.
The new organization will cooper
ate with various sectional conferences
which are already in existence, such
as the transatlantic Passenger Con-
ference in New York, and the Metlter-
Conference. which in
cludes mainly Italian and British lines.
The Atlantic conference, as at .,es-
ent constituted, includes the following
lines: Cunard, White Star, Allan, Cam
adam Pacific, Anchor, Anchor Dom
aldson and Dominion (British); AM
erican line (American); Compagnie
Generals Trans-Atlantique (French.)

Washington, Jan. so, -- How the
United states has become the dom
inant banking power of the world was
shown in the annual report of the
comptroller of the currency, John
shelton Williams, presented to con
gress today.
Comptroller Williams estimated the
whole banking power of the nation
at $3I529, 100000, an increase of
more than $4,000, ,0oO, 900 since the
beginning of President Wilson's ad-
ministration. Taking the last estimate
of the banking power of the world,
placed in 1890 at $l5,55S, 100000, he
said, Americas increase was alone
nearly equal to the worlds combined
banking power twenty-seven years
ago
Equal of World.
National banks of the United States,
Comptroller Williams declared to be
stronger, safer, more observant of
laws and more efficiently managed
than ever before Their resources
$1S,553, 3,l97, ,O00-are greater by more
than two billion dollars than ever be-
fore and exceed by about the same
amount the combined resources of all
state banks, private banks and trust
companies. Under three years of the
federal reserve system, national bank
resources have increased more than
100000, 600
Responsibilities Increased.
Comptroller Williams, however
coupled his report of this enormous
growth with a warning that duties
and responsibilities have increased no
less than the resources.
"lt is of supreme importance" he
said, that allurements of profit from
commerce or industry in this coun-
try or In neutral countries not essen
tial to our success in the war; should
not induce us to divert or dissipate the
capital or financial resources of our
people,"
The danger from decline OF earning |
capacity of public utility corporations !
and consequent shrinking of values in |

ed, is real.
States Could Help.
First relief, he thought, might come
from state commissions and municipal |
and he expressed the hope |
that congress would provide for the
advancing of money to corporations
wherever necessary to insure proper
service to the government. The pro-
posal is unusual, the comptroller ad-
mitted but he pointed out that the
times are unusual.
Government guarantee of bank de-
posits in sums under $1,000, the
believed, would bring in
to use much boarded money and he

Extension of Embargo Talked.

No new orders for a general indus
trial shutdown are planned by the
fuel administration, but the prefer
entail treatment of coal shipments for
domestic consumption, for ships and
essential industries will continue. An
extension of the freight embargo
might be considered by the railroad
administration to assist railroads to
move coal, it was explained, except
for the fact that very little general
freight is being accepted for eastward
Reports to Director General Nc
Adoo indicated that the west-bound
movement of freight today was nearly
10 per cent under that of yesterday.
Most of this was coal. The return
movement of empty coal ears to min
ing districts was slightly better, ex-
cept in West Virginia, Kentucky and
Virginia, where floods restricted
transportation seriously.

Of further hampering of railroad

WARNS OF FAMINE

The National Coal Association has

nation would be faced next winter by
worse shortage than that expert
enced in January and February last
unless radical steps are taken to re-
adjust traffic on the eastern trans

In its statement the National Coal
Association abs this to say:
Another coal shortage, more SER

most certain interference with the
war program, is inevitable through
out the East. in the opinion Of btu

DEATHS IN THE SENATE

Various conjectures are advanced to
explain the heavy mortality in the
United States Senate during the past
year. AS matter of fact. although
the death rate from May, 1917, to May,
1918, was well above the average,
there is nothing strange or inexpli-
cable in this thinning out of the Up
per House. The average age of the
men now in the United States Senate
is more than 81 years. In the list of
81 Senators whose birth dates are a
matter of record at the Capitol there
are 80 lawmakers who were born
more than go years ago. Eleven of
this number are more than 70 years
old, several are nering their eight
tleth year and one is past his eight
ieth birthday. 1t would be even more
remarkable If there were few or no
deaths In the Senate during any one
session. The fact that seven of ninety
odd men, many of whom are nearing
old age, die in single year is not ex-
traordinary, especially when it is re-
membered that one of the deaths was
the result of an accident. An equal
numl er of men of the same age in al
most any walk Of life would present
equally shining marks for the Great
Reaper. The point is that United
States Senator'S are very much in the
public eye and their deaths attract
far more attention than the passing of
ordinary individuals.
