Coloncl Charles Marshall, WHO

2. Lee aal who went through the
battles Of Tie war with his chief
told the (oliov'nr amusing story Of
his experience with new horse !:
His old horse had been shot from
under him in TIE fight of the pre-

hours later he was riding across s
field in which there were numerous
stumps.
Suddenly the performance OPEN

was filed with smoke and noise.
Before Colonel Marshall knew
what was happening the horse had
his four feet On one of the stumps
and was cayly dancing in circle.
In the meantime the firing was in
creasing, and Inc situation was any,

horse kept on as if he were enjoy

|BANk DEPOSITS NOT
DEPLETED BY LOANS
Despite the Fact That Billions Have
Been Invested in Liberty Bonds,
an increase Is Shown.

There is in some sections fear on
the part Of the banks that Liberty
Loan subscriptions will tend toward a
material decrease in bank deposits.
To offset this fear the following
summary of the statement of the
Comptroller of Currency, dated April
10. 1918. should correct this impress
sion
This statement, naturally, applies
only to national banks. but is doubt
less also true of state banks and trust
companies.
On March 10. 1917. the total depos-
IT'S of national banks were s12.95;.-
600, 900, or nearly Is billions.
In spite of the sale of Liberty Bonds
since that time Of $3.50. 100000. or
about six billions, the deposits in ma
tional banks on March 4. 1918, show
an increase of s1.4S0 $50, 900. or near
ly one and one-half billion. as com
pared with March 8, 1917.
The total amount of Liberty Bonds
owned by national banks on March 4
1918. was s433,73S,0OO. This is less
than $500
This amount of Liberty Bonds
owned by national banks on March 4,
1918. is only about tx per cent of
the total of the first and second Lib
erty Bond issues.
These facts should be given by the
directors Of publicity to all banks in
their localities.
1t is the most accurate and forcible
evidence of the effect upon bank de
posits of the Liberty Bond sales.

properties A careful survey convinces
in these houses. To permit the opening
up of these properties, however, Con-

Some of these Recommendations
should be ready by June l. and when
one considers that il takes four months
to build permanent structures and two

needs to be given consideration at the
earliest possible date.
