THE STORY OF 1)?4 Ann's Hos- being a Pele Battello lert St pital this morning after medical patient there. MACKENZIE (Asscciated Press Forcign Staff) Many nations, their nerves still By DEWITT jumpy from the shell-shock of the great war, stampeded during the past year from fields of quasi peace back towards the battle trenches which were abandoned with so much rejoicing and hope in 1918. This was the outstanding devel- opment abroad in 1934. Grim fear impelled country after country to disregard the terrible ravages of the protracted economic depression and saddle already over- strained budgets with hugh sums in a feverish rush for military pre- paredness. Europe was mainly con- cerned but distrust spread around the neurotic world to the Far East. Even the United States felt the influence. In Europe the panic was caused largely by the insistence of numer- ous countries that Germany was preparing for conquest and already had rearmed to a point where she | was a menace to her neighbors— this despite protestations from Wil- helmstrasse. Across the Continent and over the Channel into Britain, fell the terrifying shadow of the ex-Kaiser's old war machine, said by military experts to have been the most powerful ever constructed by a single nation. A Close-up View The perpetually seething Balkan pot also gave signs of boiling over as the year neared its end. In the Orient Japan was riding the crest of a mountainous wave of intense nationalism which was causing fear in China, and grave concern in other countries, notably England and the United States. Here is a closer view of the pic ture which confronted the world as Christmas arrived with its mes- sage o{ “peacé, good will toward men: s England was bent on possessing a defensive air armade which would be second to none. She was being lashed to action by such powerful personalities as the famous Win- ston Churchill, statesman, soldier, naval expert, and one of the great orators of his time. He recently uttered in telling phrases the grave warning that Britain was in “‘mor- tal danger” from an air attack from Germany, and declared that | the latter was “rearming with the utmost speed.” Another drastic declaration came from Stanley Baldwin, former Brit- | ish prime minister, and still leader | of the dominant Conservative par- Again the wer lc:d Jesms cver woerrled Europ:, Continent areas, ezr the Other Dizing the piescnt rngled nerves reatest military budgets in her ory. Much of this was to be de- voted to her air fleet. Tiny but valiant Belgium was busy devising a supposedly impreg- nable line of steel and concrete fortifications along the German border. She was impelled by memories of the outbreak of the world war fwhen the juggernaut car of im- perial Germany crashed its way across her without warning. Germany wa ing with trained s demanding that tr Versailles treaty be overridden and that she be granted equal rights with other nations as regards war equipment.

Clerical expense and cost of checks, pass books, ledger supplies, etc., have increased to such an extent that we are compelled in common with other banks to make this small charge for handling accounts where the balance maintained is so small as to oc- casion an actual loss to us. A charge of $1.00 per month will be made where a minimum balance of $100.00 is not maintained. Effective January 1, 1935. In making this charge it is not the purpose of the banks to gain a profit, or to drive the small depositor away, but to prevent a loss on a very great number of checking accounts. THE B. M.

Submarines at Vladivestok Russia with her vast army and powerful new air equip- ment, declared for peace but made it clear that she felt she could take care of herself. Meanwhile it was officially admitted that France and Russia were playing about with " the idea of an alliance under which Russia weuld come to France’s aia if the latter were attacked by Ger- many. In the troubled Far East Russia was said to have a heavy concentration of airplanes and sub- marines at Vladivostok, across the way from Japan. Most of the small countries of Europe were doing their busy best to prepare for eventualities : Japan had created a major sen- | sation by announcing that she was abrogating the Washington Treaty, | strength was limited to three-fifths of that of each of the other great naval pow- ers—America and England. Nippon was demanding the rikht $o equal- ity, thereby causing anxiety in both Washington and London' Delegates of all three countries spent un- comfortable weeks in London try- ing to iron out the differences. The po:sibility of a costly race for na- val supremacy was freely predicted. While this was going on, reports were seeping into the seat of the League fo Nations in Geneva that |in the Pacific Japan was fortifying | former German Islands which had been entrusted to her after the war. Japan denied this. She was establishing commercial air lines to the islands. Washington noted that, by coincidence, these dots in | the ocean might prove a barrier to | the Phillippines, if they were held | by an enemy.
