BELIEVES IN LEAGUE.
Justice Clarke Has Long Urged
q. S. Participation.

YOUNGSTOWN. Ohio. September A.
Desire to further American participa ton
in the league of nations ranks first
among the public causes mentioned
in Justice John H. Clarke's letter to
President Harding as one of the rea-
sons for his rssignatiop, according to
close friends Of the justice here. Mr.
Clarke is president of the Vindicator
Printing Company, which publishes a
daily paper here.
Justice Clarke went to Atlantic City
Friday evening after spending a large
part Of the summer in Youngstown,
where he occupied the home of his sis
ter, recently deceased. Before leaving
he said to a friend that his plans for
the future were as yet indefinite, but
that he hoped to be able to make a
voyage around the world, leaving New
York in January or February next.
He also said that he had accepted
several invitations to deliver ad-
dresses about Christmas time. the most
important of which will be on the
league of nations.
1t is well known to the friends of
the justice who have seen most of
him in recent years, that he. is pro-
foundly convinced that the future
political and business welfare Of our
country is dependent to very great
degree upon the American government
joining the league of nations. on some
terms al an early day. and it is be-
lieved by many of them that one of
the chief reasons for his resigning
his high Office was the desire to rem
der in a non-political way more serv-
ice to what he called that great
cause" than he thought it possible
for him to render while a member
Of the Supreme Court Justice Clarke
intends to return and spend a part
of the autumn in Youngstown, but will
probably establish his permanent
home in Cleveland or New York. He
does not intend to resume the prac-
tice of law.

ANACOST|A BANK
SEEKING CHARTER
Stockholders to Press Fight
After Being Refused Per-.
mission to Open.

Setting forth reasons why the Mer-
chants and Farmers Bank Of Ana
costa should be granted permission
to open by Controller of the Currency
Crissinger, who has up to this time
refused such permission, a formal
statement over the signature of Ray
mond f. HUNT, president of the bank,
will be sent out tomorrow to all
stockholders. together with call for
a meeting early next week TO consider
the banks unusual position.
The statement, prepared by Marion
Butler. attorney for the bank. drives
at three points in particular: That
Anacostia Is far underbanked that
local capital should be permitted to
organize a bank. and that the alleged
promotion fee to which the con-
trollet objected. is in reality not a pro-
motion fee. as it does not come out
of the capital stock subscribed at $40
net par value per share.
At the stockholders meeting next
week the entire situation will be
taken up. the petition to the control
Ter. which has been widely circulated
and signed by stockholders, will be

permission" said Mr.. Butler today.
the doors could be opened and de-
pcsits received" The institution has
presented one of the most peculiar
problems of its kind in the history of
local banking circles.
Although the statement by Mr..
HUNT does not mention the controller
of tie currency. the latter's objection
of alleged promoters fees" is dis
cussod freely, and declared to be only
an equipment and expense fund"
Money Declared Unbanked.
Taking up the matter of Anacostia
being underbanked, and idle money
in Washington, the statement esti-
In the possession of the people of
Washington Of over 500, 600, ,00O."
Citing numerous examples of the
average population per bank in vari
Gus parts of the country. the state
mont shows that Washington has

Evansville, Ind. one for every ..105:
Marion. Ohio, one for every 4,64S;
New Brunswick, N. j.. one for every
6,556.
Thus it is obvious" says Mr. HUNT,
that the District of Columbia is not
over-banked, but is, as a matter of
fact. under-banked. The fact that
Washington has but one bank for
every 8,415 of the population is one
Of the paramount reasons why there
is approximately 100000, 900 in the
District of Columbia unbanked, and
therefore idle.
"Anacostia. with $4,000 population.
and an adjacent Maryland popula-
ton of 5000 more" continues MIR.
Hunt. making a population of 90
900 to be served by the banking
facilities of Anacostia, has only one
bank. If Anacostia had two banks
it would still be under-banked to a
greater extent than is now the re-
mainder Of the city of Washington"

Family Reunions.

Family reunions have become even
more popular than the old -time Sunday

progenitors.

lSpeciaI Correspondence of The Star and
Chicago Daily News)
BERLIN, Germany. August 90
Imagine a man who has been climb
ing a mountain who suddenly dis
covers that he is on a moving glacier.
He cannot step off the glacier; there
are crevices on every side. He can
not know whether the glacier will
eventually tumble over precipice or
gradually come to rest on the level.
He cannot do anything to guide or
control the glacier. He must simply
wait to see what the end Will be. but
he is plentifully provided with food
and wine few days may mean his
death. The matter is beyond his con-
troll. Meanwhile he eats and drinks
and has as good a time as possible.
This is exactly the psychology OF
most Germans in the present day.
Germany may be headed for complete
ruin or it may gradually come right
selves. but on others. especially the
allies. Meanwhile, live for today:
drink while you, can; forget your
troubles.
The theory of an inevitable Ger
man catastrophe is widely shared
among neutral and many allied stu
dents. 1t is almost universally ad-
mitted that such a catastrophe would
bring with it the collapse OF all cen
trail and east central Europe, with
probable social uprisings and wars.
and, at the least. a postponement or
reconstruction for many years. The
Germans are 'inclined to embrace the
grim glee. perhaps in order to i'm
press the allies how hot is the fire
with which they are playing.
Proeress Toward CatastrOphe.
Does an examination Of modern Ger
many reveal evidence of a fatal pro-
gression toward catastrophe? Here
again we have the same curious con-
tradictions that we find in all other
departments of German life. Ger
many, after all her vast war expendi-
lures and fantastic borrowings. has
actually smaller national debt in
real money than she had before the
war Germanys swollen currency,
reckoned in real money. is half COW
cred by her depleted gold reserve,
which is therefore relatively one OF
the highest in the world. Germany S
floating debt. which Is now worrying
the allies so much. is. reckoned In real
money, less than a tenth that OF
France. which is carrying the stag
gering sum Of SIC, 1000, 100000 in short
term obligations.
Yet none of these freaks Of eco
nomics has anything to do with the
argument. Germany's real debt, reck-
oned in internal purchasing power. Is
two or three times her real debt reck-
oned in foreign exchange. And Ger
many has lost a large part of her
mortgageable wealth, with which she
could have secured this debt.
Nor can much light be got from the
German budget: there is, of course. an
ordinary budget and an extraordinary
budget, the latter devoted to repara-
tions. The allies want the Germans
to balance their ordinary budget.
They needn't worry. That Is the east
est thing the Germans do. They write
down an amount on next years bud
get, pretty much at random; since
they have no possible way of know
ing what the mark will be worth

Labor day, 1922. blotted by the rail-

dustrial strife of the past months,
finds America on 1.-The threshold of an
era of unexampled prosperity" Secre-
tary of Labor Davis declared today in
his Labor day message to the Ameri-

Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor declared in his
annual message to organized labor of
the country that only by organization
and more organization can the work
ers of America secure. full measure
of economic justice.
Now is the time for the workers to
rally more completely under the stand
ard of the unions" declared President
Gompers.
Pride In Achievements.
Secretary Davis pointed out that
America can look with real pride and
gratitude upon the achievements Of the
last twelve months" But for the In
dustrial strife which has been evident
for several months throughout the coun-
try. he added. the outlook Of the nation
would not have been darkened during

can be no justification for bloodshsd and
destruction in America today.
Sees Power in Trade Union.
A four-year "anti-labor" war, Mr.
Gompers said, had demonstrated the
power of the trade union to protect
its members against organized en-

Fashion and Efficiency.

Mr.. A. E. Reynolds. general manager
of an Albany street car company,
comes to bat with a practical objec-
ton to the abolition of the short
skirt which is threatened by the ar
biters of women's fashions.
Getting back to the old-fashioned
long skirts, says MT. Reynolds, will
materially slow down street-car trans
portation and make a lot more work
for the claim departments.
His assertion will be confirmed by
all persons who are old enough to re-
member half a dozen years back, when
getting a woman on board a street
car or off that vehicle, under the
handicap of q clinging skirt which
wrapped her about the ankles. con-
stituted one of the problems of con-
ductor, motorman and masculine es-
cort.
Today. when the woman can skip on
and off the cars with as much agility
as a man and with considerably more
grace, the long stops for loading and
unloading are done away with; trans
portation is expedited and we can all
get about our business or our 1oaf1ng
much more speedily than In the old
days. And the danger of stumbling,
with perhaps serious If not fatal re-
suits, is practically eliminated.-Ml-
