Notice to Depositors

Because the costs of insuring and
protecting deposits are increasing
ly higher and because the income
from that portion which we are able
to invest is increasingly lower, it
becomes necessary for this bank to
recover a portion of its cost par
ticularly from those savings ac-
counts which, from the number of
Withdrawals, are not genuine saw
ings accounts. Genuine savings &C
counts are affected little by these
changes in our regulations. 1t is
suggested that depositors having
frequent Withdrawals can and may
benefit themselves by opening
checking accounts.
The new charges are outlined
below
|. On accounts with minimum bal
ance under 5000 depositors are al
lowed one free withdrawal in a
semi-annual interest period (from
January LIST to July lst or July lst
to January lst.)
2. On accounts with minimum bal
ances from 5000 to $500, two free
Withdrawals are allowed and one
additional free withdrawal for each
additional 500 minimum balance.
3. No interest will be paid on
accounts in excess of $4,000.
d. Unless the net interest amounts
to SO cents on interest-paying dates
no credit will be made for that pc

Wonted-Freedom To Make Jobs

Calling attention to the of fighting men for
the conditions that will confront them when they return
from the wars prominent ndusriaist recently made this
statement.
1T is already obvious he said that when peace comes
the nation will have trained workers than before
This will not necessarily that the homecoming
soldiers will Gust millions of willing workers. If industry
is permitted to grow and expand in the American way
and to attempt to make and distribute and sell all the
things that the people will want there will be work not
only for the people who presently employed but also
for the men who will be coming back"

T0DAY'S WAR
MOVES

The Russian summer offensive
may be regarded as having gone
over the top" with the German
withdrawal from Kharkov, an
nounced from Berlin.
Physical occupation of the shat
tered industrial and rail center is
not in itself as important as the
fact that the supreme German ef-
fort to halt the Russian advance
at a key point has failed
A comparison with Stalingrad Is
inevitable. The Russians met much
the same kind of test there as the
Germans did at Kharkov. The Rus
slams withstood it and broke the
crest of the German tide towards
the Volga and the Caspian sea- The
result was that the Russians were
able to roll the Germans back from
the Don and eventually the Donets.
Kharkov was a measure of Ger
man ability to break the center Of
the Russian advance and attempt a
counter offensive. They drew heavily
on their reserves to do 1t, and in
failing made it evident that Ger
man counter offensive Is no longer
feasible from the region of Smo-
lensk southwark to the sea OF Azov
Fall OF Kharkov
The fall of Kharkov opens the
possibility that the Russian often
sive may force the Germans back
to the general line cI the Dnieper
That would entail Russian recapture
of all the eastern and southern Uk-
raine, including the Donets basin,
the Crimea and the Kuban bridge
head in the Caucasus.
1t still Is only possibility, how
ever, especially in the few short
weeks remaining before the Autumn
rains slow the Russian advance to
snails pace. The Germans have
in no sense been broken. The sue
ceSSive loss of such rail and highway
nerve centers as Orel, Belgrod and
Kharkov virtually nullified their
offensive chances, but at the same
time will not be Of much immediate
use to speed the Russian advance
in this campaign.
It will take too long to get the
lines back in shape and reconvert
them to the Russian broad gauge
which would permit use Of Russian
rolling stock. The Germans manag-
ed to get out of Kharkov without
suffering another Stalingrad holo-
caust. Their further retreat Is
bound to be slow and stubborn.
Nevertheless, it is fact that the
Russian military position is strong
er now than at any time in the war.

Kharkov after fierce fighting that
lasted more than two weeks. The
city first was captured by the Ger
mans on Oct. Is, 1941. during the
drive that almost reached Moscow.
The Russians recaptured it last
Feb. 16 when their winter campaign
began sagging, but again lost it on
Marchc IS.

towns and villages have been re-

Nazis killed, wounded or taken pri-
soner.
