uent issued last night by John
Shelton Williams, controller o.
the currency. He said that this
condition was shown BY the re
ports just compiled Of the state

March 4. These increases, he
said, are widely distributed
throughout the states, largely
among country banks, where the
growth Of deposits has been con

Along with this exceptional
growth, continues the state

fifteen months only two national
banks out of nearly 5000 were
placed in charge Of receivers, the
capital Of those two being only
s225, 600. This record has never
been equaled in the past twenty
five years.
THE records tell us that a
majority in amount Of the S17,
900, 100000 of liberty bonds here.
tofore sold we're placed through
our 5000 banks, and these banks
arenow in an exceptionally strong
position to aid in marketing the
victory loan and to extend to their
customers any help that may be
needed to carry their purchases.
During the three months end
ling April /, 1919, ninety-six APP
lplications were received fol
charters for new national banks,
and eighty eight applications foI
increases in the capital of exist.
ing national banks were approx
led.
These 1874 applications fol
charters andincreases came from
thirty states, distributed as fol

Seven million One hundred thousand
men who had laid down their lives in
tho great war. Think Of It! Seven
million, one hundred thousand young
men had died on the field of battle!
What does that mean to the women
Of the world7 1t means that seven
walked day by day with their faces
toward an open grave that they might
give life to son. 1t means that
seven million one hundred thousand
little children lay In the arms of a
mother whose love had made them
face even the terrors Of death that
they might become the mothers Of
men.
1t means that year after year these
women had put UP their lives Into the
lives Of their sons until they had rear
ed them to be men. For whatf In
the hope that these sons Of theirs could
give to the world the things for which
women dream, the things for which
women hope and pray and long. These
were the things that the women had
In their hearts when they gave birth
to their sons.
But who can estimate the value Of
seven million one hundred thousand
dead sons Of the women Of the world7
Who can estimate the price which tho
women have paid for this war; what
1t has cost them. not only In the death
Of their sons, because that IL phase
Of our war to which we look.

our women, who also went across the

the sick and wounded the women
who died In the hospitals, where the
terrible bombs came and drove them
almost to madness. They tell US
nothing Of the forty thousand English
women who went to work back Of the
trenches In France.
They tell US nothing Of the thou
