them in the bank; then they in-
duced us to save more and now
they are teaching US how to pro-
duce more.
Even comparatively small bank
ing institutions are issuing well
prepared literature on household
economy, gardening. chicken raj
sing, bee culture and the like.
Other banking institutions are
appealing to the young, the com
ing generations, for increas ID
production and by organizing
boys and girls corn clubs, garden
clubs and even pig clubs.
Throughout the country a few
months ago there was exhibited
moving picture OF u troop OF
boys running out of the elegant
banking building of a southern
town, and each with squealing
pig under his arm. A bank in
Cleveland has recently been con-
ducting industrial exhibits in q
small space along the sidewalk
and in front of the building.
These include tractors, wire wea.
wing machines, electric welders,
gear cutting and screw machines,
and all in full operation.
This is not generally educatio-
nal, but it shows the relation of
the bank to industry.
Many OF the larger New York
banks are circulating to manu-
factures over the country litera-
ture on foreign trade.
All of this is prepared by spec
ialists after first hand research
and is of the utmost value to our
future commerce. y
An effort that will increase
our thrift and production is q.
service to humanity and service
to humanity is good business. -

BANKS

There is more public good will
toward the bank as an institution
than ever before. :
The reason is that the bank
has more good will toward the
public than ever before.
More people are using the SER
vice of the banks.
People are seeing their relation
to the bank, and, best of all, the
banks are seeing their relation
to the people.
Through better banking laws
and better order and system
there have been but few bank
failures within the past five years
Go into the small rural town
and about the best systematized
and best appearing business in
stitutions is the bank.
The bank and the postoftice in
small town are about the only
institutions where all the patrons
do not run behind the counters
and where there is no loafing.
Yes, the courtesy of bank Off
cials and employees is becoming
almost universal.
By their advertising banks
have performed splendid social
service in teaching more Of us to
save.
Pick up the average weekly
paper of even the remote rural
community, and we will find one
OF more well written and well
reasoned advertisements by the
bank and for the starting Of saw
iugs accounts
The banks have and are per-
forming an immense educational
service in this country and by
evolution they induced us to take

BERLIN MAY TRY
own OFFENDERS
National Assembly Favors
State Court for War
Offenders.
MAY DEMAND KAISE R
German Republic Doing Some
Investigating on It's
Own Account.
BY ALFRED G. ANDERSON


Berlin, July 2S.-Sentiment in the
national assembly at Weimar is in
favor of speeding up the enactment
of the law providing for the creation
of a state court for the trial OF war
offenders before an international
tribunal can be organized by the
entente, according to high officials
who have just returned from the
seat of the assembly.
A speech by Finance Minister
Matthias Erzberger, defending his
own course and arraigning the old
regime, is construed as the first step
of the German government towards
the possession of former Chancellor
Won Bethmann- Hollweg, ex- x-Chancel-
lor Count Michaelis, DIR. Helfferich,
former minister of the treasury
Richard Won Kuhlmann, ex-foreign
secretary and Gen. Ludendorff of the
charge that they unnecessarily pro-
longed the war by rejecting Eng
lands peace feeler in 1917.
The possibility Ia developing that
Germany will demand the return
of the ex-kaiser from Holland Ia
stand trial before the German state
court on the charge of being partly
responsible for the starting of the
war.
Charges by the nationalist party
by which they hoped to force out
the present government and discredit
Herr Erzberger. have aptly estab-
lished evidence that some of Ger
many's leading officials brought ruin
to their country's last hope of ar
advantageous peace. This revelation
may make 1t inevitable that the state
and military officers involved ma,
be brought to trial here.
Gen. Ludendorff announces that hs
bad not any knowledge from thu
Vatican in 1917 feeling out German,
in regard to peace. This note Is said
to have been given to the Berlin gov
ernment through Monsigneur Pa.

CHARACTERIZED AS
DISTORTION OF TRUTH
RIBoT REFUTEs STATE
MENT OF ERZBERGER.
Denies Great Britain and
France Made Overtures for
Peace Through Vatican.

Paris. July pa distortion of
the truth" was the Characterization
applied today by Alexandra Ribot to
the recent statement by Matthias
Erzberger, the German finance min
lister, declaring Great Britain and
France made peace overtures to
Germany through the vatican In
1917. which Germany rejected. M.
Ribot, who was French premier and
foreign minister at the time IN ques-
ton, made this declaration in a
statement to Marcel Hutin, of the
Echo de Paris. The former premier
explained the occurrence as follows:
Pope Benedict in August, 1917,
suggested proposals to serve as a
basis for overtures to Germany.
France and Great Britain both de-
cided to decline the proposals. The
politest acknowledgment was made
to the pope, but nothing more. The
British minister to the Vatican. in
his own name, pointed out that the
proposals did not contain sufficient
guarantese for Belgium. Cardinal
Gasparri, the papal secretary of
state, NJ. Ribot continued, seized upon
this to telegraph Germany for eX-
plantations on the subject of Belgium.
II was an attempt to start conver-
sation, NJ. Ribot declared, but the
British government cut it off short,
and the British minister went no
further. II simply said TO the Brit
ish government" added NJ Ribot.
" do not yourself be involved in an
indirect conversation like that That
was the end of the matter"

DEFENSE
IN FORD TRIAL
Laconic Announcement by De-
tense in Resting Noted
Libel Case.
EVIDENCE IN REBUTTAL
Severe Blow to Vitals of De-
fense Delivered by Frank
Klinpensmith.
EVIDENCE IN REBUTTAL

Mount Clemens, Mich, July 2s.-
q. N. S.)-"Your honor, we are
through"
Laconically Attorney Elliot G. Ste
venson, senior counsel for the Chi
cago Tribune in the Ford Tribune
$1,O00,O00 libel suit, thus announced
to Judge Tucker shortly before 10
o'clock today.
The defense had finished Its case.
The announcement came shortly
after the trial of the case had en-
tered its twelfth week.
Rebuttal testimony by the plaintiff
began at once and this, with argu-
ments and other closing formalities,
is expected TO consume at least an
other two weeks.
Striking Blow.
Striking a blow at the very vitals
of the charges made by the defense,
Frank l.. Klingensmith, vice -presl-
dent of the Ford Motor company, to-
day denied in detail and as a whole,
the interview upon which the Chi
cago Tribune based its famous Ford
Is an Anarchist" editorial, which led
to the Ford Tribune $1,00O,000 libel
suit. Klingensmith was called to the
stand as a rebuttal witness after the
defense had rested its case shortly
before 10 O'Clock this morning.
The interview in question was
sent the Chicago Tribune in 1915, by
II. w Williams, its Detroit corre-
spondent. 1t declared in substance.
that the Ford plant would not pay the
salaries OF men in its employ who
Joined the national guard and would
not care for the dependents of en-
ployes that served with the guard
on the Mexican border. The state
ments in the interview were attrib-
uted to Mr.. Klingensmith.
With Klingensmth on the stand
attorneys for Ford went over the cdi-
torial line by line and asked the wit
ness II he made the statement
credited to him. Klingensmiths re-
ply was:
II did not"
KIingensmith also testified con-
cerning the war work of the Ford
plant, going into detail concerning
the extent of the work.
"Mr. Ford never wanted to make
a cent on war work" the witness
said. II was set exclusively on that
work merely TO determine our cost
and return to the government"
Klingensmith also testified that
Edsel Ford, whose failure to join
some branch of the military service
brought him much condemnation,
was an active worker in the manu-
aactuEe OF munitions. He declared
\ he younger Ford to be an expert on
the Liberty motor and skilled in all
branches of munitions making.
Before Klingensmith took the
stand deposition from Edward Mar
shall, whose interviews with Ford
brought out many Of the slogans at
tributed to the automobile manu-
facturer.
Marshall admitted that many OF the
radical and startling statements
credited to Mr.. Ford in reality origi-
mated in the writer's own mind, but
were concurred in by the manufac-
turer.
Relative to the slogan: THE word
murderer should be embroidered
in red letters across the breast of
every soldier" Marshall said the say
ing had come frob Jane Addams. Chi
cago settlement worker, and had been
given him when he went TO see her
in company with Norman Hapgood.

Washington, July 2S.-The beginn-

of conjecture, but more than one
republican senator who had seen MN
at the White House believed ms

The hone of developments regard

based on the presidents diplomatic
conversations with Japan TO secure

In the belief that 1t could complete
at today's session the preliminary
