New York, Sept. 2-The strike of

Mayor Hylan was considering a
proposal of the men that the COM

that would be acceptable to Judge
Mayer, legal custodian of the system,
and that all other questions be arbi-

Americans Only Troops
Who Could Go Through
Argonne, Pershing Says

LINCOLN, ,Neb., Dec. 31.-"The Ar
gonne, the most difficult and the most
important sector, was chosen by my
self, because / knew that no other
troops could go through" declared
General John J. Pershing last night,
speaking to veterans of the, world
war. General Pershing praised the
American army, saying that lit was
the best that ever marched on a
field of battle"
After the tide of war had beNa
turned by the Americans and the
allied forces had assumed the initia-
tive, he said, he chose the Argonne
sector for the Americans because he
knew it was difficult and because Of
it's Importance, being the nearest
route to the German lines of commu-
nication. 'It was necessary to cut
through the German army" said the
general. "It was necessary to fight
through strongly fortified terrain,
and I knew none but the Americans
could do it. In 1918 the allies learn
ed that the Americans were the best
soldiers in Europe. Then they gave
them the right of way"

TAMPA, Fla, Dec. 31.-Revised
estimates today Of the damage caus-
ed late yesterday by fire which swept
a portion of the Waterproof on the
Hillsborough river here, placed the
loss at more than $500, 600. The flames
originated in the terminals of the

three-quarters of the city was in
darkness and without street car serv-
ice until after 10 o'clock last night.
Famed by stiff breeze, the fire
spread so rapidly that f1remen were

men also suffered slight burns.

FLORIDA SEMINOLE
INDIANS BEGINNING
TO TRUST 'PALEFACE'

That the Seminole Indians inhab-
iting the Everglades of Florida are
becoming increasingly susceptible to
the influence of the white man and
are losing to a certain degree their
distrust of all "paIefaces," is the
conclusion reached by a special com
mission that has just completed
brief but decidedly thorough tnves-
tigation of the Seminole situation at
close range.
At the direction of DR.. 3. D. Gray,
corresponding secretary and eXecu-
tive head of the Baptist home mis-
sion board, a special representative,
DR.. Victor L. Masters, was sent to
southern Florida to investigate and
report as to the ACCESSIBILITY of es-
tablishing a permanent mission
among the Seminoles as part of
the work under the boards direc-
ton.
DR.. Masters has just returned
from his trip, which was made with
considerable difficulty on account Of
the inaccessible location of the Semi
mole encampments. The commits
sioner of Indian affairs, Cato Sells,
deemed the expedition of Sufficient
Importance to assign F. E. Brandon,
special commissioner from the bu-
reau, to accompany the party into
the Everglades. Included in the
party were DR.. A. ]. Holt, of Area
dia, Fla, and j. M. Wilson, of Kis-
simmee, Fla, both of whom were
more or less familiar with the coun-
try to be traversed and were known
to the leaders among the Seminoles.
While no definite announcement. of
the boards policy has been made.
DR.. Gray indicated Saturday that
there was a strong probability of
the board sending two missionaries

ing out the same methods Of reli-
gious and educational work as are

GEORGIA BANKERS
PLAN FINISH FIGHT
ON PAR CLEARANCE

Full power and authority to car
ry to the United States supreme
court the fight Of Georgia country
bankers against the Federal Re-
serve bank ruling requiring all state
banks to make clearances at par was
bestowed Tuesday afternoon upon the
defense committee, appointment of
which was authorized during the
morning at the special session of
the Georgia Country Bankers asso-
cia ton in the assembly hall of the
Atlanta chamber of commerce.
This action was taken by unani-
nous vote of the 800 or more Geor-
gia bankers in attendance. The COM
mittee was instructed to exhaust ev-
cry means to nullify the ruling, and
it was indicated that a legal bat
tie would soon be inaugurated which
would be carried, if necessary, to
the supreme court in an effort to
test the authority of the federal re-
serve bank in making the ruling.
The committee of defense, to be
constituted of two members from
each of the twelve congressional dis
tricts of the state, and the secre-
tary Of the associat ton, will be APP
pointed within a few days.
Declaring that enforcement of the
par clearance order will mean an
annual loss of one million dollars to
the country bankers of Georgia, j.
S. Peters, of Manchester, Ga, men,
Der Of the committee on exchange,
conveyed to the association the re-
suit of q conference held by the
committe on Monday with repre-
sentative of the federal reserve sys-
tenn. He declared that it was the
evident intention of the Federal Re-
serve bank to compel all state banks
to eliminate the exchange charges on
remittances and said that the eff
forts of the committee to obtain a
compromise had been unsuccessful.
eff the Federal Reserve bank wins
in it's present effort" said Mr.. Pc
ters, ait means that more drastic
regulations will be inaugurated. A
victory for the Federal Reserve bank
means the eventual naturalization
and liberalization of all banks in
the United States. liberalization of
business in other lines always has
been followed by deterioration"
Mr.. Peters advocated resistance of
court action or by use of influence
in congress to change the existing
law.
Similar sentiments We're expressed
by A. L. Miller, of the Louisiana
Bankers association, who pledged
the cooperation of his organization
in the efforts to qualify the par
clearance regulation.
The association also was addressed
by George E. Nolan, of Orlando,
Fla, president of the Florida Bank
ers' association. He entered a vigor-
Gus protest against the new regula-
ton, characterizing it as unjust and
unfair.
Communications were read from
the Mississippi Bankers association
indorsing the stand taken by the
Georgia bankers in combattin the par
clearance order, while A. T. Persons,
of Talbotton, Ga, warned the bank
ers that the situation called for very
careful action in order that the banks
might not find themselves in an en-
barrassing situation.
