Total of $4,000 Must Be Paid
Into Guaranty Fund.
Money Required to Pay Recent
Heavy Losses in Kansas.
CASH BALANCE NOW S6O4, ,6O3
Amounts to One
Twentieth Capital and Surplus.
First Special Call Since Law
Was Passed in 1903.

For the first time since the state
bank guaranty law was passed nearly
fourteen years ago, participating state
banks are to be called upon to pay q
special assessment. Announcement
was made today by Frank II. Foster.
state bank commissioner. to the effect
that 703 banks participating under the
enactment would be called upon to
Immediately pay $4,000 into the
fund. The money is required to meet
recent heavy losses thru failures and
drafts on the guaranty account
Drafts are being drawn on the guar
anty fund today to cover losses in the
Homewood State bank and LeLoup
Farmers State bank failures, amount
ing to $54.32S. These amounts We're
paid by the state department after al
fairs of the bank had been closed up
and all assets of the defunct institu-
tions used for benefit of creditors. In
the Homewood failure the loss TO the
guaranty fund was $32,2 ,292, while in
the LeLoup bank the fund was drawn
upon for $22,036.
Cash Balance of 1854 .0Os.
After deducting for drafts issued
today there is a cash balance in the
guaranty fund of S6S4605. However.
the fund is subject to numerous heavy
drafts as soon as several bank losses
are taken care of. Commissioner Fos-
ter today refused to venture a predic-
ton to whether the pending losses
would wipe out the remaining balance.
He dismiE-ed thc question by stating
that he could not anticipate losses OF
other guaranteed banks which have
closed their d ors.
The assessment of guaranteed state
banks today amounts to one-twentieth
of l per cent of the capital, surplus
and undivided profits of the partici
pating banks. The assessment is the
same the annual drawing on banks
operating under the guaranty law and
is similar to a drawing made in Janu-
airy of this year.
First Special Assessment Since 1909.
Since the guaranty law was passed
IN 1909, the annual assessments have
not only covered all losses of guaran-
teed banks, but have enabled the de-
partment to build up a big reserve
The law provided that annual ASSESS
ment should be made until a fund OF
$1s900,000 should be accumulated.
The fund, however, never reached the
million mark.
Special assessm tents not exceeding
five in any calendar year are per-
mitted under the guaranty act. None
of the special assessments are to ex-
ceed one-twentieth of one per cent of
the assets of the banks. The drawing
today, which is the first special ASSESS
ment since passage of the law. is to be
followed by the regular annual ASSESS
ment of the banks in January.
Commissioner Foster stated that ne
believed all of the banks participating
under the act would respond to the
assessment

History Will Repeat Itself, Says

Appeals to Country Not to For

URGES MILITARY TRAINING
Effective Machinery Thru
Which Much Can Be Done.
Not a Cure for All, But a VAL
liable National Asset.

Minneapolis. Nov. 2S.-Appeal to
the nation to look cold, hard facts in
he face and not forget our obligations
in the blind hope that we may not
again engage in armed conflict.
marked an address delivered here to-
day by General Pershing under the
auspices of the American Defense
society.
'At present we do not see definite
indications. but none of us can tell
whether we snail have war in five,
ten or twenty years. General PERISH
tainty that armed conflict would
come in twenty years, there would be
an immediate demand for prepara-
tions. Yet that is the approximate
interval that we have had in the past
between major wars. There is no rea-
son to think that the immediate future
will bring about a cessation of war,
even tho it was said that we entered
the World war to bring about the end
of war"
Speaks for Military Training.
General Pershing devoted most of
his address to discussing the value of
military training as a good school of
citizenship, making reference in this
connection to the findings OF the
recent educational conferences in
Washington. The conclusions of that
conference, he said, were that the
training given in reserve elements of
the army and at civilian training
camps constitute effective ma
chinery thru which much can be done,
not only to benefit the individual
from the standpoint of his physique
and self-discipline- but from the
standpoint of his relations to the gov
ernment that protects him and which
he is under obligations to defend
The chief of staff stressed again
draft. statistics that show so per cent
of the young men called out during
the war to have been physically sub
normal, largely due to defects curablc
by proper training, and that one
fourth of the persons examined were
unable to read or write our common
language. and that more than 10 per
cent cannot even successfully speak
English"
Losing Our Balance.
That means" General Pershing
continued, that some 1O,000.000 (of
the American people) do not know
our tongue. We cannot avoid the con-
ciusion that we are losing our balance
and our self-respect unless we attack
the problem vigorously.
Il do not suggest military training
as a cure for all civic ailments. but 1
firmly believe that it inculcates ideals
of honor and duty in our young men
that must constitute a most valuable
national asset"

Demands of Soviet Big Issue at

Worrying the Delegates.
(Bv Tbe Associated Press.l

Lausanne. Nov. 2S-Russia and
Turkey, working together, are expect
ed to make a strong pair at Lausanne,
and the other delegates to the Near
East conference are wondering what
effect the combination will have.
English and French circles show a
disposition to reject the demands for
warded by the Russian delegation, in
sisting that Russia be heard not only
in the Dardanelles question but on all
questions on the conference agenda.
1t is pointed out that Russia has
signed a peace treaty with Turkey and
that, therefore, there is no reasonable
basis for her demand that she partici-
pate in the general deliberations to
determine the terms of a settlement
between Greece and Turkey on one
hand. and Turkey and the allies on
the other.
Nevertheless, whatever may be the
decision of the conference on the stand
taken by the Russians it is apparent
that there will be no disposition to
shut out Russia.

Jonathan NJ. Davis, governor-elect,

live together this winter-in the barn.
Davis refused to be a party to any
act of the state executive council
which would obIigate the state for
furniture for the executive mansion
when there is no appropriation avail
able. In announcing his course today,
the new governor said the executive
mansion was bit better than he had
been accustomed to. anyway, and he
was ready to share quarters with
Speck.
When Davis made his campaign last
summer ne stepped heavily on the
loose system of state departments in
overdrawing their appropriations. He
said he would not be a party to sucn
acts if he became governor. Today
he refused to join with the state eX-
ecutive council to use credit of the
state to buy furniture even for his
own residence.
May Do Without Many Furnishings.
BY maintaining his present position
the new governor will be compelled to
do without number of necessary
things in the furnishing of his official
residence at Eighth avenue and Bu-
