Still greater gains in deposits are forecasted, when Nebraska's bumper wheat crop is all llauidated. Business has also recovered from the war shock of a year ago, the Lankers say, and they point to the great deposit gains since October 31, 1914, as proof of the as- sertion. Huge Increase in Loans. Loans also show great gains in the bank call figures. Greater Omaha banks have jumped up $7,583,407, to the present total of $46,709,775. This is also & galn of $2,604,902 over two months ago. One explanation of the increased loans is that oty banks are loaning much money to country banks, which in turn loan it out for stock feeding purpbses. The greatest surprise shown among the banks by the present bank call is the remarkable gain in both deposits and loans made by the United States Na- tional bank, which now ranks second in deposits and first in loans. Its deposit gain since two months is approximately $1,500,000. Chairman Milton T. Barlow of the United States National, says his bank's great gain is due largely to:ig- creased business resulting from the bank's handsome new bullding. a tremendous gain, because of its recent consolidation with the Clty National bank, by which the state institution got most of the City National's deposits, and alss by numerous new depositors.

In her announcement, which took the form of a letter, Mrs. Pankhurst sald: “The betrayal of Serbla has come as a final, tragio proof that neither the homor nor the Intenests of the nation are safe in the present hands and that in particular the prime minister and Sir Edward Grey are unfit for the great and responsible positions they hold.
