Lyon Says
URGES ACTION
BY OFFICIALS

President Lyon, at "a meeting Of City
Council as a committee Of the whole
last night, called the attention Of the
members to the report that the offices
of the Hercules and Atlas Powder Com
panles may be moved from this city,
and urged the members to take some
action tending TO keep these industries
here.
I'VE want to keep all the industries
we now have and induce others to
come" said Mr.. Lyon, land anything
that we can do to aid the companies in
getting quarters here so that they may
continue in Wilmington should be
done
After some discussion, in which
every member agreed, it was decided
to bring the matter before Council to-
night for definite action.
1t was pointed out that the Hercules
Powder Company employs an office
being married with families, and the re-
moval of their offices TO New York
would be a great loss TO the city, as
doubtless many Of the men would take
their families with them. Many Of the
employees Of the company have homes
here. which they would have to dis
pose Of or rent, and members Of Coun-
Gil were unanimous in their opinions
that some effort should be made TO
keep them here. The matter will be
brought to the attention Of City Coun-
ell at its regular meeting tonight, when.
a committee will probably be appointed
TO cooperate with The Chamber Of
Commerce to this end.

Bella kun's Army in Rout

Paris. Dispatches reaching peace
conference circles from Budapest in
dictate that general decentralization has
struck Bella Kun's army, which is
struggling back from the different
fronts with utter lack of discipline.
The breakdown in the spirit of the
troops is attributed to discrimination
of the fighting against the Czechs
and Rumanians in consequence of the
armistice and to the hasty increase
of the well drilled loyal army of
10000 to more than 125, 900 men. Re-
ports from the same source received
by peace delegates are to the effect
that bolshevism in Hungary is con-
fined almost exclusively to Budapest.
Peasants are obstructing shipments Of
food to the capital which is rapidly
reaching desperate state.

BILLIONS IN BONDS AND

New York Banker Sees Big Loss in
Savings and Investments - Money
and All Obligations to Pay Have
Lost one-Half Their Purchasing
Power.

New York. George E. Roberts,
vice president of the National City
Bank, speaking before the national
association of dress fabric buyers in
convention here, said that many
millions in savings, investments and
life insurance policies were lost to
their owners because of the great de-
probation in the purchasing power Of
the American dollar.
"The government let contracts right
and left and the banks supplied the
CREDITS" he said. Contractors bid
against each other and there was JUS
tice in the claim for higher wages. Is
this level permanent? / am not ready
to believe that it is. I do not want
to believe that it is for think it will
work vast amount Of injustice. 1t
means that money and all obligations
to pay fixed sums Of money are de-
preciated approximately one-half.
1T means that the billions of pain
fully accumulated savings in the form
Of bank deposits, and the billions in
life insurance policies, are to the ex-
tent of possibly one-half wiped out
as with a sponge. The owners Of
these investments will find that the in
terest as it is received and the prin-
cipal when finally paid will have only
about one-half the purchasing power
OF their original savings"
