TOMBSTONE, Nov. 25.-The state
department Of banks is continuing
a thorough investigation of the af-
fairs and conditions of the Cochise
County State bank, the real e. tate
owned by it and any other phases
of the present situation that have
an important bearing on the reop-
ening OF the bank.
The action of the state depart
ment is largely due to the earnest
efforts of the officials of the bank
and the citizens Of Tombstone to
reopen this banking institution in
Tombstone and Benson. During the

WAR AFFECTING
SILVER SUPPLY
IN THE ORIENT

TUCSON, Ariz., Nov. 24.-Every
war of importance in China has a
disastrous effect on the Chinese
supply Of silver.
That is the statement made by
James 3. Tenney, geologist with the
Arizona Bureau of Mines at the
University of Arizona. However, this
depletion OF the silver supply ac-
cording to Mr. Tenney does not
come about in a normally expected
way.
It is pointed out that China must
finance any war on the silver basis
but that the great losses do not
come from that source because of
the short period of conflict and
because China is never in unity on
question. The real loss comes with
the beginning of every war scare.
Thousands of Mexican dollars are
buried by the Chinese in the hope
of saving them from the govern
ment. AS wholesale executions are
common the majority of this money
is never reclaimed, it is said. Conse-
quently millions of dollars in silver
are buried forever in the country.
Mr.. Tenney spent a great part of
his life in Manchuria and lived for
many years in Tientsin, seat of the
recent outbreaks.

NEW SERVICE is
NOW AVAILABLE
SAYSJ ]. HARRIS

A new communication service
was made available Friday by the
American Telephone & Telegraph
Company and it's associated com
panies in the Bell System, it was
announced yesterday by J. j. Ear-
ris, local manager Of the Mountain
States Telephone q Telegraph
Company.
This new service consists in TIE
establishment and operation of CEN
trail switching exchanges for tele-
typewriter machines that typewrite
electrically over wires to distant
teletypewriter Any subscriber to
this cervice can obtain connection
with the teletypewriter of any cub
scriber to the service within the
same city or any distant city and
this will permit the immediate tran
snlissio of letters typewriter state
ments, o. other information between
the two subscribers.
In effect, the method used for
communication Of the instIu-
r1ents is the same as that now en-
rloyed in the telephone system
The present teletypewriter service
of the Bell System is furnished only
II connection with private wire;
which are not connected to central
switching points. This private %irc
service, now widely used for into~-
oftice communication, will be cor
tinued as heretofore.
The new switching service thru
teletypewriter exchanges is now POI.
sible because of development in ap-
paratus and operation.
Thee permit INSTRUMENTATION
by teletypewriter on nationwide
basis just as the development Of
telephone switchboards made pos
sible the interconnection OF tele-
phone instruments.
The new teletypewriter service
will thus have the flexibility that
characterize the regular telephone
service Of the Bell Co.
The ltablishment of switching
offices similar to telephone exchang-
es enables Subscribers to the new
service to call and secure connec-
tons just as they do for local and
long distance telephone conver1a-
lions.
While their teletypewriter lines
are connected they may send or re-
ceive typed messages as desired.
Soon after the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Co. was Or
ganized to develop long distance
service it became appareant that the
telephone wire syetem could be a.
dapted to provide circuits to con-
Germs needing private wire facilities.
The first line furnished connect
ed the New York and Boston of
fees of S. M. Weld & Co., and was
put in cervice Dec. 9, 1887. AS the
long distance circuits we're extend
ed the private wire aervice grew
rapidly among those having need
for constant communication with
distant branches or correspondents,
such as banks, brokers or press as
,ociations.
The scope of the service widened
when the teletypewriter began to be
Used in 1915. Within the past five
ears there has been a marked in
'rease in the number of industrial
concerns using them and the var
ETY. of uses they have found for
hem. At the beginning of 1881 the
Sell System was furnishing 10000
eletypewriter machines, utilizing
8 per cent of it's private wire mile
ge in their service.

ONLY $50 PLANES
READY FOR DEFENSE
Review Shows Most of Ma
tons Air Force Have Limit
ed Fighting Facilities.
BY JOSEPH S. EDGERToN,
Aviation Editor Of The star.


FAIRFIELD, Ohio, May lS.-If the
United States were to be attacked to-
morrow the Army Air Corps, intrusted
by recent agreement with the aerial
defense of the entire coast line and
international borders Of the Nation,
could muster only $50 actual fighting
planes for the accomplishment of its
trust, it was revealed here yesterday
afternoon as the might of the Air
Corps from every section of the coun-
try was assembled for the first review
of an air division ever held in the
United States.
OF the $50 fighting planes 81 are Of
a type already regarded as obsolescent.
OF the remainder 36 would be heavy
bombardment planes, untitled for Of
fensive action against enemy fighters.
This would leave but 200 pursuit planes
OF type suited to action in beating
of the planes Of an attacking enemy
force.
400 Not Battle Planes.
Though more than $50 planes were
assembled here for the review yester-
day afternoon, nearly 400 of them are
OF the type which could not be called
upon for battle service in resisting an
enemy aerial attack. About $50 of
have an extremely limited combat use
fitness as they are primarily designed
Tor observation use and not for fight
ing. They carry machine guns, which
are intended for defensive purposes
Others are transport and cargo types.
With 200 seryiceable pursuit plalIes
ready to take the air against attacking
enemy planes, even though they all
were concentrated for the defense OF
but one point on the far-fiung coast
and border line Of the country, the All
Corps could be certain of beating of
completely only an attack by so enemy
planes or less. since experience shows
that a determined fighting air force car
penetrate a defensive wall formed by
up to four times its own number OF
planes with sufficient force to attain It's
detectives.
The 81 planes which are regarded as
becoming obsolete are of the attack
type, composing the entire strength OF
the Bird Attack Group, from Galveston
Tex. The Air Corps does not expect
to buy any more planes of the present
attack type. They all must be replaced
as socn as work now in progress al
Wright Field develops a type of plane
upon which the Army can place abso-
lutte reliance for the important service
of attack
The experimental work. 1t has beer
learned, is so well along that there is
definite assurance in the near future
of a plane which will form the most
deadly weapon man ever devised fol
