American Bankers Association For. wards Telegram of Thanks to
 President.

White Sulphur Springs, W. Va, May 12.-Following is telegram sent to President Harding yesterday by. the American Bankers Associa- tion:
 "The administrative committee of the American Bankers Association requests me to heartily congratulate you upon your courageous stand in providing for disabled soldiers and against putting upon the American people under existing conditions the great financial burden involved in a general distribution to soldiers. The House bill, especially, is manifestly unsound in putting the burden of financing the measure upon the banks, which policy, if carried out, would be particularly detrimental to the small institutions whose available funds are needed for agricultural de- velopments.
 THOMAS B. McADAMS, President American Bankers Asso-

U. 5. SUPPLIES IN
 RUSSIA INCREASE
40 Cars Daily Passing Over Polish
 RalWays-.In 30 Car Trains

London. May 1l.--Every district in the Russian famine areas Is now provided with corn for adult feeding, says a cable message received at the London office of the American Relief Administration. The last district to receive the food was Kazan, where the corn arrived April 2.
 Thirty-two hundred horse teams are now distributing 1t to the outlying villages near Kazan racing against time and the spring thaw which will make the Kama river impossible. Spassk, one Of the worst areas lies across the Kama, and every effort is being made to get the food there in time.
 If 25 per cent. of the American supplies reach their destination be- fore the thaw finally sets in then the adult program is assured, in the opin- for of American Relief Administra- tion officials. That amount will carry the people in the remote villages through until such time as the river navigation and the hardening of the roads makes them again accessible. The cities therefore are receiving their rations last, because they can always be reached from the railroads.
 All American Relief Administra- lions supplies are now moved in Solid trains of 30 cars or more and are routed straight through to their ulti- mate destination. One hundred and seventy thousand tons of supplies left Russian ports for the interior during the month of March,
 When the thaw prevents transpor- tation in the outlying districts, the movement from the ports will still continue, but the cars will be routed to R,binsk and Tzaritzin. Here the corn vii, be stored until the opening of river navigation makes its ship ment by water possible.
 Warsaw, April 19.-An average of 40 cs srloads a day of American food supplies are passing over Polish rail- ways to Russia, to relieve the starving populations of the famine districts. Heavy congestion of Polish traffic is resulting from the failure of the Russian authorities to furnish trans ports at the frontier for the transfer of supplies.
 AS consequence. Polish rolling stock, is seriously tied up along the Russian border. Most of the relief supplies for the famine districts are transported free of charge by the Polish government.
