WILSON SPEECH
Rolls GERMANS.
Berlin Newspapers Attack the

Only Musical Part in Conference
at Paris--Hope for the
Best.

Berlin, jan. 30.-President Wilson's
| speech of last Saturday before the
peace congress contains the following
| sentence as transmitted to Berlin and
here retranslated from the German:
The United States would have !,
feeling that 1T could not take part III
| guaranteeing these European adjuStj
lssslss rs ii Sfddeu
the permanent surveillance of the
world peace by the associated nations
Of the world"
This sentence with the reported de-
cision of the supreme council at Tues
days session that the German colonies
must not be given back to Germany,
has disquieted some German circles.
The Boursen Zeitung, for instance,
says:
IF President Wilson is correctly re-
ported he confesses openly that he, too,
like Premiers Clemenceau and Lloyd
George, does not desire Germany in
the future community of nations as an
equal among equals, but as a nation
watched by overseers. The president
cannot wonder if people in Germany
gradually begin to form the opinion
that the hopes they placed in him are
to be disappointed"
Call Plan Opposed to Wilson.
The socialist newspaper, Vorwaerts,
in commontinp On tho raport pouorJ; =, n,
the division of the German colonies
among the allied nations, says:
"The league Of nations is making a
lovely beginning! The decision Of the
western powers to take the German
colonies for themselves is born of a
spirit Numerically opposed to that
proclaimed by President Wilson. 1t
appears more and more as if it were
the intention of the western imperial
lists to leave to Mr.. Wilson the merely
musical and declamatory roles of the
performance and to reserve to them
selves the business end Of the show.
Place Hopes in America.
"We Germans would prefer an hon
est policy of stand and deliver to a
policy of imperial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
adorned with ethical and oratorical
phrases. But since America has not
yet agreed to the pact we shall later
see whether America can do anything
except make speeches."
(The official text of the passage II
President Wilson'S speech of Saturday
alluded to in the foregoing, as trans
mitted from Paris Saturday night
reads as follows; sit (the United
States) would feel that it could not
take part in guaranteeing those Eu-
r0pean settlements unless that guar

tendence of the peace of the world by

MEN IN UNIFORM AT Y. M. C, A. MEETING


 Another get together" was held al the local Young Mems Christian Asso- ciation Sunday afternoon and the large group of men in uniform and several civilians entered into the ex- ercises with enthusiasm. The singing accompanied by Swahn's orchestra was a real feature of the service. Re sponsive reading of the Ten Com mandments and prayer constituted a part of the program.
 The address of the occasion was de- livered by Rev. H. B. Rankin. who held the attention of his audience through out. He answered the question as to why men should be Christians. first. because our bodies are the temples of the Holy Ghost and therefore we should give ourselves fully to the in f1uence of this great power Second, we cannot become what <ve should be to others unless we follow Jesus Christ and to follow him means to be a Christian, and by doing this we be- come unself1sh and our interests go out to others.
 Jesus Christ is great dynam'- force in a mans life. and we hs known of men who have so fully sur rendered to the power of the Holy world will last through eternity. Dwight l.. Moody was such a man, and through his influence John R. Mott has become the great Christian statesman of this generation. We can not all be as great as these men. but Christ our lives will count nightly for the kingdom of God.
 After the address the fellows sang very heartily Keep the Home Fires consisting of sandwiches. cake. doughnuts and coffee. A lady friend of the "Y" very kindly contrib uted the cake and doughnuts.

BIG INCREASE IN
 SAVINGS BANK DEPOSITS

State Bank Commissioner Sturses
 has issued a comparative statement or assets and deposits Of Savlnss Hanks and Trust Companies from October l, 1918 to June 30, 1919, and the Connecd- cut War Savings Committee claims
 that the large increase in saving this year throughout Connecticut, bOtn III the Savings Banks and in the savings deps rt1nents of State Banks and Trust Companies has been due, at least in
 part to the Governments campaign of education in thrift. Mrs R1chad M- BisSell. director of War SavlnSS Tor Connecticut. said-on receiving the f1s- ures from Commissioner Sturg1s-that the object of the thrift movement was not merely to sell thrift and war sav- ings stamps, but to encourage invest ment in banks and all conservative securities. and it gratified her to find that the people of Connecticut were becoming more thrifty, even though the banks got the benefit of it directly in stead of the Government
 The Government and the people as a whole must ultimately benefit by any increase in thrift on the part Of the people" she said, thrift is not merely saving but saving plus wise investment"
 The deposits of Connecticut savings Banks have varied as follows during the past year:
 peee@Ser oefossr | s. 1s's geo April l. 191s-sSss. .s2S,51s.oe; June 30, 191e-sss7, ,e46, ,445.15.
 From October to January the Saw ings Banks Deposits increased more than six million dollars. From Janu- ary to April they increased twelve and one half million dollars From Janu- ary 1 of this year to January 30 the increase in savings banks deposits amounted to s13437,26 ,269.s0; the assets increased in about the same ratio as the deposits.
 The savings banks had invested in L. $. bonds and certificates. on March 31, S35.537, ,573.13 and the State Banks and Trust Companies had invested in these securities $7,904, ,624.41. Saving deposits in State Bank and Trust Com panies amounted to s39, ,409, ,020.1S, Jan uary 1, 1919, and had increased to $44,- 548.e1166 by Juy 1.
 The total increase of deposits of all kinds throughout the state including both savings banks and trust compan- ies amounted to s25,2s7, ,024.1e. from October 1 last to March 4 and the as- sets Of all banks increased more than thirty SIX and one half millions.
 Inquiries made by the Connecticut War Savings Committee among bank CTS, indicate that most of them are in favor of War Savings Movement, be- cause they feel that. they derive part of the benefit. Bankers say that un questionably the Government propa- ganda urging people to spend their money more wisely and invest part of it in Government securities has indi rectly stimulated savings of all kinds bank deposits.
