NO CAUSE FOR ANXIETY
ABOUT LIBERTY BONDS

Washington. Feb. s.-Ths comp
structions to national bank examiners
that they need not for the present.
require national banks to mark down
the prices at which they are carrying
United States liberty bonds and vic
tory notes below the bona fsde pur-
chase price, paid for these securities
bv national banks. Banks will not,
however, b. permitted to carry these
bonds on their books at prices above
market quotations where the bonds
cost the hanks only the market prics
or less
There is, says the comptroller, no
cause for anxiety because OF the re-
cent dc line in the market value OF
liberty bonds, and the fall in price he
saws is no reflection upon their in
trinsie value and desirahility. but tbs
lower auotati tons offer investors an ex-
traordinary opportunity to obtain at
very attractive figures the best seear-
Try in the world.
The comptroller adds: The reo-
pie of this country need have no doubt
of the ability OF this nation row an@
always TO meet In full every oblixa~
ton anG commitment, and 1t is the
opinion OF we'll informed students OF
the situation that II should not be
long while before liberty bonds and
victory notes will command. not only
their par value. but probs bly, con-
siderable premium
United States liberty bonds have al
ready been very widely distributed to
investors and digasted On Nover.-
Der II. 1914 the arnount OF liberty
bonds owned by all national banks
amounted to only $500, 100000. which.
was less thar per cent OF the total
resources OF the national banks at
that time.
The tneome Of the peopie OF the
United states in excess Of ordinary
living expenses" says the comptroller.
probably amounts a. this tins to
more than ten billion dollars per an
mum, a nd less than ons-tenth OF this
! estimated surplus investable income.
would be- sufficient to absorb n.
twelve months all Investments stsll
held by national banks in liberty

Plan to Harness the
Severn, with Power
Greater Than Niagara

London. Dec. 14-(By Associated
Press)-The British Ministry of
Transport has just made public a
scheme to harness the tidal waters Of
the river Severn at cost of 100000, =
900 and to erect a power plant great
er than that of Niagara Falls. The
Severn divides England from Wales.
The project is an outcome of the
efforts of Sir Alexander Glib, chief
engineer Of ports construction in the
British army during the war and
builder of the great naval dockyard
at Rosyth. 1t Is calculated that the
power plant could produce 100000
horse power at it's peak load capacity
100000 tons of coal a year. It is
claimed that it would revolutionize
the whole industry of the west of
England and even supply London
with cheap electric current.
A concrete dam would be placed
across the river creating locked ba-
sin "a square miles in extent into
which vessels could pass through q
channel. 1t is estimated that the un-
dertaking would provide work for
100000 men for seven years.
I'm the spring tides the Severn
rises 3S feet, the second highest tide
after the Bay of<Fundy The fact
that tidal waters have never yet
been used for the generation of cleo
tricity on such vast scale, coupled
with the big estimated cost Of the
scheme, make engineering experts
cautious in expressing views as to its
feasibility.
The Times editorially refers to the
project as somewhat fiamboyant."
The consent of parliament must be
obtained before the scheme can be
put into operation.
