Munday’s rise In the business world was remarkable. In ten years he won a large fortune and an interest in cleven banks and a dozen business concerns. He was bhorn and rearcd in Litchfield 1L, his father being a justice of the peace. The banker's first work was as a mes- senger for a telegraph company, tien 8 an.operator. He became interested in the grain mirket and began hivine wra n in & small way. In 1590 Munday left the telegraph service and entered the firm of D. O. Bettlemire & Co., an elevator con- cern. Munday later cu into control of the, business. In 1902 he entered the banking business by. organizing the Litchfield nk and Trust company, and later a chain of bankes. Munday first met Lorimer in 107. When the latter was clected senator, Munday who was & democrat, interest In 1% Munday, number of the was active in his with Lorimer and a latter's friends organized the La Salle Street National bank, which | later became the La Salle Street Trust and Savings bank London Churches Have Thanksgiving Services for Victory LONDON, Sept. 27.—London received the news of the successes of the allles on the western front early Sunday aft- erggon, In the hotels, clubs an@ghurches, smat joy was shown.

Transportation is Prohlem. H _“The question of adequate steamship | facllities,” says Mr. McAdoo, “is funda- mental and underlies every other.question concerning our trade and fature relation- ships with the Latin-American republics. The. quick-and effective solution of this problemi is for the gevernment of the United States to put itself behind a ship- ping enterprise so that the necessary financlal support to make it successfi will be assured, We can not expect pri vate capital in this country to engage in this essentfal undertaking. It is too big at the outset for private capital.” Secretary McAdoo supports his con- tention by saying that steamships of the | proposes could be used as naval | sort. he auxiliaries in time of war, He says the | Navy department has informed him that th order to bring the United Stutes nav to Its maximum usefulness and efficiency in war time there is need of 400 merchant vessels of . approximately 1172,00 gross 4ons und in addition about 124 vessels of 15 tons each to be used for mine sweep- ing I, casc the Coasts are invested or visited by an enemy.
