BANK OFFICERS
GET JOBS AMONG /
"HlCH .PRIVATES''

Being boss over the boss is the
unique experience of two local Bank
of Italy employees-Henry Woody
and Carl Truesdaie.
The two youths are captains of
teams in the Christmas club contest
which the bank is sponsoring. There
are three teams entered in the CON
test, the third being captained by
A. II. Keller, assistant manager.
Vice presidents Leroy Holt and
r. Y Watson are mere privates in
the ranks, taking their orders from
the captains of the respective teams.
Hugh Osborne and Fred Gianola are
also "taking orders -
The unique arrangement came
| about this morning when Assistant
| Manager Gianola, carrying out or
ders from the San Francisco office,
organized the bank employees for
the Christmas club campaign.
Fred decided that leaving it all
to luck would be the safest and best
way, and had tie names of every
employee in the local branch placed
in box. The first three names to
be drawn were designated as cap
tains, Woody, Truesdale and Keller
being the lucky ones. Thereafter
the ensuing names were divided
Given Stephen" between the three
captains. The officers took their
orders from their captains to "get
busy and work for their respective
/ teams. k T&
The contest opened today and
will extend until January 5. The
team obtaining the greatest num-
Der of Christmas club memberships
will be declared the winner. All
Christmas club accounts draw in
| tcrest the same as savings accounts,
Gianola said today. The club idea
is designed to enable persons to save
money for Christmas purposes thus
preventing a drain on income at
! Christmas time. Over million
dollars in Christmas club accounts
will be paid out by the Bank of
Italy this year.

PARIS. October 3.-F'rench opinion
appears to consider Soviet Russia s
sudden entry into the Geneva disarma-
ment negotiations with some anxiety
The Left wing newspapers express
moderate satisfaction. but the Center
and Right wing press fears the event
is the result of new intrigue between
Russia and Germany
Germany it is thought has per
suadad Russia to come to Geneva for
the purpose of aiding the German
viewpoint. This German viewpoint
is that the Versailles treaty promises
general disarmament and that unless
all the countries present disarm in
the same proportion as Germany. the
latter will be entitled to resume free
dom of action in this respect,
The Russians already announce
that they are unwilling to discuss
arbitration. for in no arbitral body in
the world could the Soviets hope for
justice. What interests them is i'm.
mediate disarmament, which also is
what interests Germany. This situa-
ton leads several French papers to
suggest that the meeting al Geneva,
November 80. will be new Genoa
conference" for it was at Genoa that
Germany and Russia concluded and
announced their present alliance.
The Communist paper Humanite is
at some difficulty to explain to French
proletarian readers why the Soviets
are sending a delegation to Geneva
to sit with the Capitalists" in
league which is 1.-The instrument of
capitalists imperialism, The thesis
presented is that the Soviets know
the league meeting will he a farce.
but that they desire to take the &C.

for disarmament, as against the in
sincerity of all other countries.
