INTEREST RATE ON
SAVINGS IS RAISED
TO FOUR PER CENT

Interest on savings accounts has
been increased from to per cent by
three Richmond banking institutions.
The First National, American Trust
and Savings. and Second National
bank announced rate of per cent
for their savings accounts. The First
National also announced the 4 per cent
rate on certificates of deposit.
The increase means an addition of
33 1-3 per cent income from savings
accounts. 1t is estimated increased
rate will add about 100000 to the in
comes of persons holding savings
deposits.
This higher rate has been made
possible by the increase in the interest
rate to borrowers. Tight money con-
ditions have resulted in raising the
old 6 per cent rate to Z.
According to the last published bank
statements savings deposits Of all
Richmond banks showed a large in
crease. The higher interest rates just
announced are expected to result in
much larger increases due to wider in
terest in thrift and saving.

WILSON'S
ADDRESS AT PEACE
PARLEY MADE PUBLIC

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE White
House made public today what was
described as an official version" of
president Wilson's address at the
eighth plenary session of the Paris
peace conference. The exact wording
OF this address, directed to the repre-
sentatives of Roumania, Serbia and
Czecho-Slovakia, has been the subject
of controversy between the Pres
1dent and Senator Spencer, Republican,
Missouri. The senator has declared in
a political speech that the President
had promised Roumania and Serbia
that If any nation ever invaded their
territory he would send the American
army across the seas to defend their
boundary lines"
Notes in Question.
Mr.. Wilson. in a telegram to the
senator on Oct. 5, said that this state.
nent was false" In reply. Senator
Sper go called for the official record,
81 that the statement to which he
4ferred was in the "stenographic
s OF the eighth plenary session, in
which the President was reported to
have said: You must not forget
that it is the force that is the final
guaranty of the peace of the world
If the world is again troubled the
United States will send to this end of
the ocean their army and their
fleet"
The official version of the full text
of the presidents address was fur
nished to the white house last week
by Fred A. Carlson, of Chicago,
Who was an official stenographer
with the American peace delegation,
and who wrote that he would "be
glad to swear to the accuracy" of the
transcript.
Stenographer is Puzzled
Mr.. Carlson's letter was dated Oc-
tober 6 and was addressed to
Charles L. Sven, stenographer to the
president. He explained that he had
read Senator Spencer's reply to the
president in the Chicago newspapers; !;
that he had just gone over his notes,
and that he could find mo such state
ment" as that attributed to Mr.. Will
son by the senator. He added that
it was barely possible that the quota
tion was from a translation into Eng
lish of NJ. Mantoux's translation into
French of the presidents remarks,
and, as you know, the translations
sometimes mixed things up a bit
81 wish I were in a position to make
public what the president said
wrote Mr. Carlson, "for l feel that the
president is sadly misquoted, but, of
course. as the meeting was a secret
one, l can say nothing"
Mr. Carlson's letter was made pub.
lie by Secretary Tumulty with this
comment: This letter speaks for it.

REGISTRATION RECOUNT SHOWS 23,547;
HALF THOSE QUAuF led ARE FIRST VOTERS

A recount of the registered voters
of Wayne county made Monday re-
veals a total registration of 23,547, or
100 more than was announced last
week when the first count was made.
There are 12,S05 men and 10,742
women qualified to participate in the
election next month. The male reg
istration shows a decrease of about
700 over the county registration at
the last presidential election, in 1916,
when there were approximately 1880
men registered.
In seven of the 81 precincts in Rich
mond more women were registered
than men. In only two of the pre-
cincts outside of Richmond were there
less men registered than women, both
being in Cambridge City, namely
Jackson precincts two and three.
Approximately SO per cent of those
who have qualified to participate in
the election in Wayne county next
month are first voters, all Of the
women and about 10 per cent Of the
men. Both Republican and Demo-
cratic organizations are keenly inter
ested in perfecting some plan which
will educate these first voters in the
proper way Of preparing their ballots.
They realize that with practically half
of the voters never having participated
before in an election there is great
danger of a large percentage Of bal
lots being mutilated. 1t is expected
that both political organizations, hop
ing to reduce the number Of ballot
mutilations to minimum, will launch
vote your ticket straight cam
'paigns. -
