SHOWS SOLIDlTY OF THE NATIONAL BANKING SYSTEM

Washington, Mry 4.-Comptroller Of the Currency Williams in a statement today called attention to the solidity of the national banking system, as illustrated by the fact that in the last four months only one small national bank, with $25,000 capital, failed. In the last sixteen months only two na- tional bank failures were recorded. At the same time the number of national banks is growing anc their earnings are increasing, said Mir. Williams.
 "A knowledge of these faacts must necessarily give insp.ration and fresh courage to all business men," said the comptroller's statement, flor our economic history shows that every commercial panic and business pros- tration in the past has been precipi- tated by financial disorders and bank ing crises"
 Contrasting the pisition of nation al and state banks, the comptroller declared that in three months end ing March 31 last twenty-four insti- tutions under state supervision failed and between fifty and sixty state in- stitutions failed in the fifteen months ending last April 1.
 Tn the four months ending Apri 30, sixty-one charters were granted tc new national banks. three were refus- ed and 113 applications are pending"

NEW ENGLAND HAS NOT 5 F
 RAISED 50 PER CENT. OF QUOTA

Boston. May AN. Penrose Hallo- we'll, executive chairman of the Lib erty loan committee of New England, in a statement tonight said:
 The Victory Liberty loan campaign in New England is in a critical posi- tion. The campaign is now two thirds over, and yet New England has raised less than fifty per cent of her quota. New England has always done her part in other campaigns and she has got to do it this time. Our government incurred great debts to end the war with victory, and these debts must be paid; it is our duty to pay them.
 "The Liberty loan committee has tried to run this campaign without putting annoying pressure on the in- dividual and corporation. In. view Of the unusually attractive terms of the .ean ic seemed entirely probIbfe- ttra7 this could be done. Such, however does not seem to be, the case, and We now intend to use all the pressure necessary to put New England over the tODp.t. r-'r

SIBERIA TROOPS ARE
 PUSHING CLOSE TO CAMARA

Beilebei, Province of Orenburg, Southeast Russia, Monday, April 21.- (By The A. P.)--Siberian troops are pushing close to Samara and Oren- burg. It iss reported that the latter town is being evacuated by the Bol- sheviki and it is expected that a fort night twill see the capture of Samara by the Siberians. To the northward the Siberians have occupied Bugulma, Menselinsk and Glasov. The morale of the troops is excellent.
 The retirement of the Czecls from the southeastern Russian front, at first regarded as a caiamity, has been greatly offset by the new spirit, self reliance and patriotism shown by the new troops. The advance of the Si-
 berians, which has been almost con-
 tinuous since the first of the year, has been carried practically to the pre- determined limit of possibility before the spring thaw. It .s expected that the Siberians will uncertake a drive soon with the River No1ga as their object.
 The front is held by an army of a0o,- 600 officers and men organized since Admiral Kolchak took control five
 months ago. Previously the various units were not co -ordinated, the re- spective leaders of the various organ
 izations operating sore1y with the
 common object of stopping the Bolshe- vik, invasion. These commands have been cemented into responsible disciplined body of troops under the direction of general staff. A second
 army of S0o,0o0 mef. is being formed 1 in the rear.
 1 As a result of the efforts Of Great l Britain ad France quantities of mucf
 needed equipment are arriving. Re i gently the Third Siberian Corps oper-
 ating here received 35o.000 rifles, forty l five cannon and equipment for 100000 1 infantry and 10000 cavalry. Training 1 schools for officers have been opened with British assistance at Omsk

 The Italian delegates to the peace conference, who left Paris almost abruptly when the members of the council of four representing Great Britain, France and the United States refused to grant ltaly's full claims to 'F'fume and the Dalma tian coastal re- zion, have been invited to come pack to Paris and resume their places in the peace conference. .S
 Paris despatches assert that by reason of this invitation it is believed the Italians will return to the French capital and that negotiations over the disputed points will begin again where they were left off.

French and Brit ish diplomats ill Rome for several days have been discussing the contro- versy with Premier Orlando and For eign Minister Sonnino in an endeavor to straighten out the tangle.

SEC'Y GLASS MAKES FINAL
 APPEAL FOR VICTORY LOAN

Washington, May 4.--"The Victory Liberty loan campaign is two thirds over, but subscriptions have been re- ported for little more than one-third of the loan. t
 .Is it conceivable that the American people, who with heart and soul waged the fight for freedom, will permit this loan of victory and thanksgiving to fail?
 "Our sons gave of their health. of their strength and of their lives that freedom might not perish. There are one and a half million American boys in France and Germany. Now that the war is ended it would be as reasonable for them odishonor the nation by deserting the flag as for the nation to dishonor itself by deserting them. Is it large thing that we are now asked to lend our money to pay the cost of victory?
 'Is American money less willing than American manhood:
 Let every one of the millions who have bought Liberty bonds buy Nic- tory notes and success is sure. GARTER GLASS, | Secretary of the Treasury"
