Bank Ratio Change Urged.
The time-honored 1O-to-1 ratio is
nn inadequate test to measure the
sufficiency of bank capital in rela-
ton to deposits, John D. Hospel-
horn, president of the National As

Banks, said at the annual conven-
ion in St. Paul yesterday. MI
Fospelhorn, who is deputy bank
commissioner of Maryland, recon-
nended that the Executive Com

Of measuring capital sufficiency.
A bank might have 25 per cent
ratio and yet its assets position
could be unsound. On the other
hand, a bank could have a per
cent ratio and yet its assets could
be of such high quality as to indi-
cate no risk whatever, he asserted
Assets of good quality are a truer
form of deposit protection than the
present ratio policy, he added.

British Have Mastered Hig Speed Warfare,
MethodicoI Advance Across Libyo Reveals

demonstrated the secret OF their new
technique of war-complete unity of
action between artillery, infantry,
airforce and supplies, the experts
say.
After the Germans smashed 1000
miles in 81 days through Yugo-
slavia and Greece. observers recall
their first armored division entered
Athens with the first motor
cyclists arriving in the heart of the
city a bare II minutes ahead Of the
last field kitchen. Between motor
cycles and field kitchens were tanks,
motorized infantry. machine guns,
infantry, four-inch anti-aircraft
batteries and field guns.
Contrasted with this was the re-
treating British army still following
the struggling movements of World
Wer l, in which the infantry moved
into position one da,, tanks another
and armored cars another, all of
them depending on a continuous
stream of supplies from the rear.
Those days are gone forever on
the Libyan desert, the experts here
point out and as the final proof, they
add, the r. A. F. has turned the
tables on the German airforce by
darting in to blast its planes before
they can get off the ground-as the
Germans did to the British in
Greece and Crete.

LONDON, Nov. 22-The crushing
British advance across the Libyan
desert against Axis defenders, in
which artillery, airplanes, infantry,
tanks and supply columns are mov-
ing as single units, is convincing
military observers here that the

date on land warfare.

rushed it TO Norfolk.
Because of the value of the cargo
and the dangers of the flight, two

the Royal Navy Hospital there. The

in wait for his ship near the spot

The Acadia requisitioned by the

The 40-man crew and StoWa-
ways were rescued by British vessels
and landed in West African ports
where the Acadia picked up all but
the Stowaways for the return trip.
Capt. Allen said he was certain
that if he had followed the course
originally set when he left New York
October 9, the Acadia would have
fallen prey to submarine.
Preceding Vessel Attacked.
Passengers said they had heard
that the British freighter Liberian.
which left Lagos a day before the
Acadia departed from that African
port, had been attacked by a sub
marine which fired three torpedoes.
All the torpedoes repeatedly missed.
Passengers and creWmen said the

and ran blacked-out at night.
The vessel brought back 1877 pas
