gained control of this railroad prop erty.
 This tendency has been recently dem onstrated va decision of the supreme court of Illinois. A banking institut tion in Chicago was ruined by some of it's officers. Suit was brought as against the directors of the bank, including the directors who had taken no active part in the management of the bank The supreme court decides that it is vital to the success of an institution that di- rectors really direct, and it Is likely to be fatal to the management of an insti- tuition if there be non-active directors upon the board. In other words, this latest of decisions holds that figure heads, inactive, or dummy directors are liable for losses. Recently monaco tive director in New York state cor poration, which met with failure, was sued and was compelled to pay a very large amount of money the court hold ing that he was responsible even though he was a non inactive director of the institution. This tendency if it con- tinues is likely to put an end to the placing of dummy directors upon direc- torate boards and may cause all who accept election as directors to render adequate service and accept full re- sponsibility.

LONDON PAPER HAS COMMENT 0N ALLIED
 INVITATION ID J. s.
By Associated Press

London, May 9.--The London Times editorially says that the reply of the United States to the allies invitation to have representatives at the sittings of the supreme council, reparations commits sions and conference of ambassadors, ap- pears to be all that the allies could have reasonably expected,
 The Times notes that Washington ex- pressed pleasure at the allied statement that American cooperation in interna- tional war settlements would be ''of ma terial assistance"
 There has never been a shadow of doubt on that point among reasonable men, continues the paper. Many go so far as to think this assistance more than material; they think it essential. The World war cannot really be closed without a world settlement, and in very many of the relations of trade, com- merce, finance and the whole field of economies. American interests are close ly, inseparably interwoven with those of the old world.
 'The Presidents message showed clear appreciation of this truth It re- pudiated the policy of entire aloofness from European affairs as they developed out of the war on higher grounds, on grounds of honor and moral obligation. but it also revealed consciousness that in this matter material interest and moral obligations coincide"
