The Young plan, last desperate resort of the harassed creditors, turned up it's toes today when the nations buried it under an agree meat by which Germany substi- tutes one bond issue of only $643,- s14O,O0O for the Young plan pay ments which should have totaled approximately $27,S96, 100000 be- tween now and March 31, 1888. Eleven years and two months ago, the reparations commission presented Germany with a bill for a capital liability of about $33,- coo. 100000 exclusive of another S1,50O, 600, 900 payable to Belgium, which, if fulfilled, would have necessitated Germany's paying probable total of about SCHOOL 0eo.o00.
 lt The Lausanne liquidation means Germany will have paid grand total of about $14,200,000,000, ac- cording to her own figures. AL though the reparations commis- sion figures she has paid much less than half of that and the Wash ington Institute of Economies about twO-thirds of it. The difference arises from various estimates of the value of ceded property, repara- tions in kind, etc. The Washington figures are probably the most &C., curate.
 The separations payments were gradually whittled down until the proposed bond issue represents what a generation of Germans yet unborn would have paid during the three years ending March S1. 1888, under the Young plan schedules.
 Immediately after the war, David Lloyd George, then British premier, ciuded Lord Cunliffe, governor of the Bank of England; William Hughes, premier of Australia, and Sir George Foster, Canadian finance minister. They reported the central powers should make an annual payment of approxi- nately $6,000. 0O0,0O0. representing the interest charges on the whole direct cost of the war to the allies.

democratic party was adopted unanimously.
 A partial text of the resolutions adopted read as follows:
 ''The officers and members or the national executive committee of the Women's Organization for National Prohibition Reform are in complete accord with the plat form of the democratic party in regard to national prohibition.
 "We urge the members of our organization to support in the coming election the candidates TOT both houses of the congress who are committed to repeal, Tor Tn the last analysis, it is that body who will inaugurate the repeal Of the 18th amendment.
 while the President of the United States has no power to veto or change a proposed constitution al amendment, he has through the prestige of his high office, the pow CT to wield directly or indirectly great influence over legislation.
 We therefore urge the members of this organization, because they are committed to the cause of re- peal, whether they be republicans or whether they be democrats, to gnve their support to the nominee of that party which favors the re- peal of the 18th amendment, Franklin Delano Roosevelt"
 Members of the national execu- tive committee, or their proxies, present at the meeting included:
 Connecticut: Mrs Lucius F. Rob- ipson, Jr, (R), Miss Eva Hs Hoyt (R).

Again great things were happening.
again the city was restless and uncer-
tain in its ancient harness. Drastic
methods were being proposed, mer-
| chants associations and civic bodies
were stirring. Great agitatiors were
taking public voice. The huge muddlc
must assume some proper form. Civic
ipridc was suffering revival, new
! forces were stepping to the fore, new
ideals of service were again lifting
above the tunlult of the town.
They paused on the sharp oasis south
of Twenty-tlfth Street between Fifth
Avenue and Broadway. A smoking
churning rush of cars aud busses
hemmed them in. Across the way the
old Ainen~Corner had ended its career.
On the broad stretch Of the Avenue,
toward the park, arches of triumph
and of victory once reared their fragile
forms and only photographs remain.
Dewey returned there from the victory
at Manila. Great hosts of men marched
by in LINEN with set faces, young

Harboard and to John. a sickening
doubt. To the east, they saw the great
clock hands of the tower pointing to
seven, and back on Fifth Avenue the
rush Of motor cars came to a sudden
stop with screech Of brakes when The
high red light flashed on the trafi:
towers above the gas-charged street.
John Breen stood, as men have stood.
in the twilight of thick tropic jungles,
gazing at the beauty of the cobra, I'M
aware of its significance. Harboard
struck his cane OH the concrete walk,
loud tap. John looked at him, and
smiled, smiled with uncertainty.
Josephine Lambert had just sped by
them, bareheaded, her dinner wrap re-
splcndent, her face animated, beautiful.
She was already far to the south, on
her way to dinner in one of the fine old
surviving homes of Washington
Square.
Thomas Hctherington, the great cdi-
tor, had pieced together much of the
crazy mosaic history of the city. He
knew and deducted. and imagined, and
held in the files of his little Office bun
dles of surprising information. Once,
when talking with Judge Kelly. an
agreeable old gentleman. himself ask
ing more than he impaired, Thomas
Hetherington was prepared to submit
certain train of circumstances, and to
ask for the few places where time had
failed to fiji in facts. He was on the
verge of springing one of the really
great sensations of the city
"My dear Mr.. Hetherington, what
you say may be SO. And then again it
may not. You say you have talked with
Mr.. Breen. What did he say?"
"He called it q lot of interesting con-

State Has 28 Banks;
Capital $4,3OO,OOO

According to the current issue Of
the Rand McNally Bankers Direc-
tory Arizona has a total Of % banks,
divided into 10 state banks and trust
companies and 10 national. These
banks have total capital of $4,-
100000 surplus and profits Of S.
373 $3.50; deposits Of $44,672, $50; and
total resources of $55,533 ,220. The
directory reveals that there are APP
proxinaately 342 incorporated towns
in Arizona that do not possess To-
number of such towns for the Unit
ed States is roughly 50,303.
The directory reveals that the
countrys bank deposits have drop
ed S13,625, 100000 since July 1929, a
decrease of % per cent. Three years
ago, the nations deposits were list
ed at $50, 500 PAS 1898. The new Rand
McNally directory shows the coun-
trys deposits as s45, 1888 ,464,910 OF
this decrease, $4,130, 361 ,626 took
place the past six months.
In the past three years, figures
show that the countrys banks have
fallen off 6,418 to a total of 1901
in addition to which there were g.
Gal branch offices of banks at the
July compilation. With the bank
changes due to depression now be-
ing reduced to minimum figure,
the new directory is essential to
show the exact status of bank OPP
erations in the cities and towns
throughout the country.
AS regards this loss of banks, the
Bankers Monthly recently pointed
out that the loss of 1886 banks in
the past II years has had its good
effects. It said that in 1921 there was
one bank for every 1000 people,
which meant that on the average
each bank had but 300 families on
which to draw for business. Com
petition was excessive. Today there
is a bank for every 5000 people,
which gives each bank 1900 fam
lilies as prospective customers. II
