Startling Figures.

st Louis. Mu-There are % 600. 900
savings bank depositors IN the United
States. according to figures Published
at the convention of the American
Bankers Association here. In com
piling these figures die allowance was
made for Implications. investigation
by the bankers has proved that these
savings bank depositors are, with
few exceptions, people of small means,
but they are the people who absorbed
in large measure the war issues OF
government securities, Thrift and
War Savings Stamps, Savings Certifi-
Gates and Liberty Bonds AND ARE
KEEPING THEM.
Not only did they buy and hold gov.
eminent securities. but those invest
ments led to additional savings, con
solidated the habit of thrift aid in
creased bank deposits throughout the
entire nation. These 27,O00,000 depos-
itors now own s10.573,97l 600 of saw
ings.
This is the money which has built
up the railroads, municipalities homes
and Industries Of the nation. These
savings represent over twenty-six per
cent OF the total resources. These
savers financed the war successfully,
and on their continuation Of the pro
duction OF new capital through saw
ings rests the solution for financing
reconstruction and for the increase
of production necessary to check the
high cost OF living, bankers agreed
The government savings securities
and Liberty Bonds offer ideal means
for the production of this new capital
in the opinion Of progressive bankers.
They are adapted for investment OF
all sums no matter how great or small.
They are the safest security possible.
They are profitable and readily con
vertlble into cash should necessity
arise. Their purchase not only aids
in financing the government, but re-
j, ases corresponding capital from the
banks ANA financial institutions for
expansion Of industry and develop
ment OF production.
The figures complied by the Bank
ers' Association show that in the Eve
year period ending Janu.sy Of this
year, savings deposits in state banks
increased 5947 per cent; in mutual
savings banks, 1896 per cent; in

applause. In the junior four minute
speaker contest Albert Elmgren, of
the Selden school, was adjudged the

At the conclusion of the school
program, F. P. O'Brien. director Of

spoke on THE Meaning Of Ameri-

defined as the problem Of making
every man. woman and child in this
country one hundred per cent Ameri-
can. This means giving to every
person, whether native or foreign
born, not only the language, but the
ideals customs, and habits Of think
ing that are embodied in the word
american. The tendency, which
exists in some parts of the country
of trying to force the foreign born
to learn our language is a mistake.
The emphasis should be placed upon
making 1t so desirable to be an
American, to exercise the rights OF
' citizenship, to use the common tongue,
that all will seek it. To this end il
must be made an honor, appropriate:

SENATE NOT READY
TO RATIFY LEAGUE
Only 81 Favor It So Far-COnneC-
tiCut Men Against

Washington, Feb. 26.-That the
constitution of the league Of nations
as now presented would not be rati-
fed by the senate of the incoming
congress with the members and mem
hers-el in their present frame Of
mind is indicated by a poll taken
here.
Ratification, whether the league
constitution was submitted as a sep
arate treaty or as part of the general
peace treaty, would require the af-
tirmatiye vote of siXty-four senators
--two-t thirds of the whole number.
Today only fifty-two of the men who
Will constitute the senate after March
/ can be classed as f3Noring or in
clined to favor the league, while
forty-four are against it or inclined
20 be. SO the necessary two-thirds
could not be obtained unless twelve
member of the opposition changed
their minds
The figures Of the poll are: For the
league, 81; against it, %; disposed
to favor the league, 81; inclined
against it, p.
Several senators were non commit
tai but the poll was carefully taken
and gives a faithful reflection of SEN
tinent and disposition at time when
the project has not been fully debat-
ed. It is especially interesting as
showing that although a majority of
democrats favor the league and a ma
iority of republicans do not, the
lineup is not wholly partisan.
Two republicans, Norris of Nebras-
ka and McCumber of North Dakota,
are listed AS definitely for the league,
and eight republicans as leaning in
that direction. One democrat, Reed
of Missouri, is openly against the
it. 1t is announced that neither party
will take caucus action.
AS none of the democratic sena-
tors from the south, except Hoke
Smith of Georgia, has Indicated OPP
position to the league the whole
group can be listed, because of theft
loyalty to the administration, AS ia
voring the league at the present
time. But it is pointed out that the
doctrine of states rights to which
they subscribe may be construed as
analogous to the doctrine of national
rights which the opponents of the
league plan are eXpounding, and that
considerable doubt as to the proprietN
OF America s entering the league may
be raised in their minds before the
discussion is over.
