LIABILITIES OF
BANK ARE HEAVY
Rome Institution Is Given
Moratorium in Which to
Arrange Affairs

Rome, December 30.-The total
liabilities OF the Banca Italiani Di
Sconto, which closed it's doors Thurs
day and today was granted mora
torium for one year in which to en-
deavor to straighten out its finan-
cial tangles. will reach 1900. 100000
lire.
This fact became known today by
the publication of the petition of
the bank for moratorium. The pc
tition added that the moratorium
would enable the institution to tide
over its present financial crisis and
that the bank anticipated a complete
re-es ia blishment of its credit, The
petition attributed the position to the
general European economic break
down.
The story of the bank was out
lined in the petition for the mora
forum. Before 1915 1t had CAPT
tai of 100000 lire. Then, by leaps
and bounds, the capital was increased
during the war, and in 1919 it had
reached 315.O0O.000 lire. The banks
holdings were augmented principal
ly through the prosperous times OF
the war and the activities OF the
Ansaldo company, which manufac-
tured great quantities of munitions.

MYSTERY SHROUDS.
DEATH OF CHINESE.
Long Feaud Thought to Be,
Connected With Murder
of Two

New York, December 30.-The mys-
teries of long fued which police
said involved rivalry over white
women shrouded the deaths of two
Chinese whose bodies were found in
separate rooms in a tenement house.
near Broadway. Both had been killed
with hatchets.
One of the victims. Tom Sat, was
probably killed while asleep. His
companion, Thomas Shew, evidently
had made a desperate fight for life,
the furniture of the room being
wrecked.
Shew, police said, was a son of
American born Chinese parents and
had married a white girl who visited
HIM only at stated periods.
The janitor of the building told de-
tectives that motor cars frequently
brought fashionably gowned women
to the place and u search of the rooms
revealed a book containing addresses
OF about 90 white women. The po-
lice were endeavoring to learn if the
rooms had been frequented by drug
users.

"Wo are not clear what are the
views of the French naval staff on
this matter of the utilization of sub
marines in time of war. 1t is true
the views of exports do not always,
by any means, determine the action
of governments; if they did, no doubt
we would some day be placed in a po-
sition which the late Lord Salisbury

Naval StaffS
but the views or naval staffs. of
the experts. are of Importance unless
and until they are disavowed by the
governments they serve
Lord Lee then referred to a recent
article on submarine warfare in the
Frenchs Revue Maritime, signed by
Capt. De Frigate CasteX. "at that
time chief of one of the important
bureaus of the French naval staff"
which also directed publication of the
Revue. He said, these articles, Lord
Lee added, were designed to throw
ridicule on those-who criticised the
German methods in the late war" He
read numerous extracts from these
articles, claiming that torpedo" war
fare was French invention, ZAP
propriated" by the Germans.
ITO sum up said one extract read
by Lord Lee, "one can see nothing in
the attitude of the Germans which,
"militarily" speaking, is not abso-
autely correct. The failure to give
notice before torpedoihg raised
storm of protest but it is not so in
admissible as at first sight appears"
Now this offer" Lord Lee con-
tinued. who is appointed principle
treasurer to the senior officers
course will, no doubt, unless change
of policy takes place. be pouring
what we regard as this infamy and
this poison into the ears of the serv-
ing officers of the French navy. That
is the justification for what can
only describe as the approximations
and even the bitterness that we must
feel in the thought that under any
conceivable circumstances our pres
emit allies, our late comrades in arms
in the greatest war the world has
ever known, should contemplate the
possibility of warfare of that kind"
