AMERICAN BANKERS
ENTER FAR EASTERN FIELD
New York.?Announcement is made ;]
of the organization under the laws of t
the state of New York of the Asia
Banking Corporation with a capital of 1
$2,000,000 and a surplus of $500,000,
all subscribed, for the purpose of engaging
in international and foreign
hanking in China, in the dependencies :
and insular possessions of the United
States, and as soon as the Russian situation
clears, in Russia itself and Si- 1
Dena. /\niong tne stocKnoiaers in the 1
new company are the Guaranty Trust 1
company of New York, the Mercantile
Bank of the Americas, the Anglo and
London Paris National Bank of San !
Francisco, the National Bank of Port- |
land, Ore., and the National Bank of ]
Commerce, Seattle, Washington.
English and Continental banks principally
have heretofore financed transactions
between the United States and I
the Far East, and the establishment
of an American bank in China w*ith
branches elsewhere in the Far East ,
is looked upon as an important atep (
tnu'nivl f ho /Jnirnlnnmnnf A mnvlnn r?
foreign trade in that part of the world. The
organizers of the new company 1
believe that the increase in trade be- 3
tween the United States and the Far (
East makes greater banking facilities 1
' necessary and justifies the establish
ment of local American banks and in- .
vestment companies. The capital issues i
committee of the War Finance Cor- <
poration has approved the issue of the
capital stock of the Asia Banking Corporation,
the position being taken that
the investment of capital in this enterprise
does not mean a diversion of capital
for new purposes, since a large
amount of the business proposed to be
transacted is now being conducted by
American banks with their own resources
through their correspondent
banks. There will be no public offer

OLE BOLL'S COLONY
Norwegian's Dream of Model
Home Now Scene of Ruin.
Recalls Misplaced Confidence and
Made All the More Tragic Because
of Splendid Ideals.
Only the rnln of the villa "Valhalla"
remains of the Ill-fated Norwegian colony
established by Ole Bull in Pennsylvania
in the late '50s. The story of
the colony, says the Kunsas City
Times, is one of mispluced confidence,
made all the more trugic because of
the splendid Ideals that led to Its establishment.
The great Norwegian violinist, alwnys
an admirer of Amerlcu, wished
to obtain a location for a model colony
of his countrymen. He bought a thousand
acres of a firm of laud dealers
and soon afterward brought to this
cuuniry several nunured Norwegians.
A clearing was made, the vlllnKe of
Oleana built and, in an address to the
townspeople, Ole Bull set forth the
hopes that had Inspired his mission.
The address follows:
"Brothers of Norway! From the
clime where the north wind has Its
home; where the maelstrom roars, and
where the aurora for half the year
takes the place of the genial sun, we
have come to find a home. When we
were among our mountains, and war
was bringing want and famine upon
us, we heard there was a country in a
milder climate where liberty dwelt and
plenty reigned. Upon looking over our
records, we found thut our countrymen,
under Thorfin, had discovered
thnt land more than eight hundred
years ago, but that they were met by
cruel and suvnge Indians, and had left
no record of themselves, except some
traces of their sad history engraven
in the rocks of Full river, and one temple
which they raised to God on an
island at the mouth of Narragansett
bay. All other record of them had
passed away.
"How different Is our reception from
thnt which Thorfin and his followers
received. No savage Indian startles us
with his war whoop, but kind friends
meet us on everv side, tiiklnc ?a i?v ti>.?
haud and giving us welcome to our
new home.
"Brothers of Norway! We must not
disnppolnt this confldence, but by
lives of Industry and honesty show to
our new brothers that they huve not
misplaced their friendship.
"And now, to these gentlemen of
New York and Penr\sylvania, who have
so kindly assisted by their counsel and
advice In tills work, I return my most
sincere and hdartfelt thanks, and casting
ourselves upon the goodness of our
heavenly Father, resting secure upon
his promise, let us go on In the dally
performance of every duty, and he
will bless us."
There was a pathetic aftermath.
Hardiy had the pioneers got well under
way with their homebuildlng when
it was discovered that the violinist had
been victimized. The company that
sold him the land had no valid t't'e to
It. The people of Oleunu scattered,
some of. them penniless and with few
friends in the new country. Ole Bull,
with splendid loyalty to those he hod
brought to this pass, gave public concerts
to raise money for their relief.
A Pacifist.
The newcomer bad hardly seated
himself In the railway compartment
I.AfA.A '
Kciuic iic ui'nuii iu inik, reiaies London
Tlt-Blts "I an? n pacifist," said
ho In a voice as if ho wanted to disarm
all Interruption. "If we can't beat
the enemy In three years it's time we
started waving the olive branch instead
of the sword."
Just then a severe feminine face
Inserted itself at the carriage window.
"Is there a JohD Tamson here? Aye,
there he is. Cam oot o' that smokln*
carriage, ye heathen, before I tak' yo
by the lug. Dae ye think your wife's
a haddie for the ctjrln'?"
John Tamson left, and the astonished
silence which followed was broken
by one passenger remarking:
"I'ulr fellow, nae wanner he's a pacifist.
It's mair nor three years o' war
he's had, I'm thinkin'."
A Handy Utensil.
"The soldiers In the trenches wear
gas masks, and near the front the
French children go to school with
them on," mused a citizen of Periwinkle,
who was of unusual width betwixt
the eyes, observes the Kansas
City Star. "I believe if I could Ret
hold of a practicable pas mask I would
wear It to the town hall tonight, where
the handbills announce that Hon.
Brappln Mow will talk on the patriotic
flutles of the hour, but where in reality
he will with many words permit
as to learn the glad news that at the
earnest solicitation of his many
friends he has reluctantfy consented to
become a candidate for re-election to
congress."
The Smallest Cartoon.
A certain small boy has drawn a
caricature picture of President Wilson
jpon a single grain of cofp. He spent
ibout a half hhur In doing the work,
for which he used water colors, says
rihrlstinn Science Monitor. It is said
that some time ago he drew a similar
picture upon a single grain of corn
ind, upon sending his work to the presdent,,
he received an appreciative accnowledgment
from Washington. This
8 believed to be the smallest cartoon
picture in the world, for it measures
>nly about a quarter of an inch in
he longest direction. The likeness is
n profile. \
BRINGS OUT LATENT TRAITS
War Develops Hidden Qualifications
of Many Young Heroes Now
in Government's Service
"It takes all sorts of things to bring
out Intent trnlts In us nil." The speaker
in the club cnr rolled his cigar to
the other corner of his mouth. The |
other occupants sat silently, surmising
that n story was coming, recounts 11
writer In an exchange.
"Knew n young fellow over East.
Father had lots of money. Sou did not
seein Inclined to add a great deal to '
It by working, but made several dents
In the family purse by his spending.
Not that he was a bad boy at heart?
only thoughtless. Sometimes I think
the rich father was attempting to
make a business man out of a man
never Intended for that sort of life. The
boy did not seem to be able to find his
niche. Said to me one day when he
had gotten confidential: 'You know,
my only fear is that I am not going to
make something out of myself that will
make dad proud of me.' And the two
surely did love each other. One day
the boy asked the father for several
thousand dollars. It was forthcoming.
Then he asked the father to cash a
check for some money left him by his
dead mother. lie got that. Then the
boy sort of dropped out of New York
life.
"Next thing I knew he was a lieu- '
tenant in the aviation section of t>i<? i
army. He had bought two airplanes, '
taken them down into the country to 1
one of his father's farms and learned
to fly. Guess those that knew him .
thought It was another of his money- 1
burning ways. But when he thought 1
himself competent ho went to the gov- i
eminent nnd simply said: 'Here I urn, 1
ready for any service you may have for i
me,' and the government took him up
In a hurry. lie may be in France. But 1
you should have seen that father's face t
light up every time he mentioned that i
boy. And When he does get back from i
France he nnd his father are going to i
be greater pals than ever, If that be
possible.
"Now I am not going to say that
many young men ure going to have ]
about $20,000 at their beck und call to
demonstrate that It only needs the occasion
to make men out of them, but I
do say that there are scores of young (
meu doing Just as much or more."
Switzerland Like United States. ;
Switzerland is the only European ,
example of u federative and demo- j
cratlc republic of the American type,
observes n writer. Switzerland, as the
United Stutes, was born from a desire
for emancipation from autocratic despotism;
like the United States, Switzerland
never believed In the divine
right of kings. The very past which
the ancient federates, on that oidet
spot, the "Rutll," on the classi^^ike
of Lucerne on August 1, 1291 .n^vore
to, embodies that great prtncijrol for
which now, 62G years later, the United
States is fighting, namely, to quote
President Wilson's own words, "For
the right of those who submit to authority
to have a voice In thoir own
governments." There the old Swiss
i/iuuiiiiiiii-u stii-suvunimeui against uie
autocratic rule of the iiapsburg, i? the
following words: "We ordain and direct
with unanimous accord, that in
the above-mentioned valleys we shull
recognize no judge who shall have
bought his rights with money or in any
other manner, or who shall not be a
native und an inhabitant of tlnse districts."
q
Futile Disputes.
In stating prudential rules for our
government in society, I must not omit
the important one of never entering
into dispute or argument with another.
I never saw an instance of one of
two disputants convincing the other
by argument.
I have seen many, on their getting
warm, becoming rude and shooting one
another.
Conviction is the effect of our own
dispassionate reasoning, either In solitude
or weighing within ourselves, dispassionately,
what we hear from others.
standing uncommitted In argument
ourselves. It was one of the
rules which, above all others, made
Doctor Franklin the most amiable of
men In society, "never to contradict
anybody." If he was urged to announce
an opinion, he did it rather
by asking questions, as if for information,
or by suggesting doubts?
Thomas Jefferson.
German Schooling.
German schooling has proved antagonistic
to co-operation, although de
xuuuuiiiK unity ui utuuu iiuuuhu uiusn
obedience, Winthrop Talbot writes in
tho Century. It has failed to foster
real co-operutlon, for co-operntion Is a
method by which persons of their own
volition and by no compulsion may
work together harmoniously. Only
when traiuing and schooling are the
common privilege of all Is that state
of civic development possible which
permits society to become co-operative
In Its action. In other words, a socialized
society becomes more possible
only as all Individual members acquire
each the widest vision, and'thus the
power to co-operate harmoniously.
Pay of Our Marine Chaps.
The pay of officers and crews of vessels
in the American merchant marine
Is as follows: Captain, $250 a month;
chief officer, $140; second officer, $130;
third officer, $120; chief engineer, $100,
first assistant engineer, $140; second
assistant engineer, $180; third, assist
ant engineer, $130; carpenters, $751
boatswain, $70; oiler, $60; coal pass

MEDIATION IN WAR
Roman Popes, From Earliest
Time Deemed It Privilege.
First Instance Date* From 409, When
Effort Was Made to Arrange
Peace With Goth Leader.
From the earliest time of papacy,
popes, as the religious heads of the
Catholic church, have considered it
their task to Intercede as mediators
In temporal disputes, observes a historian.
Following are a few Instances:
As early as 409, when Alarlc I declared
he would withdraw from Rome
only on condition that the Romans
should arrange a peace favoruble to
him, S. Innocent I went with an embassy
of the R^hans to Emperor Honerius,
at Raveana, to try, if possible,
to make peace with him and the Goths,
but failed in his endeavors to bring
about peace. More successful was
Gregory I, who played the same part
an the occasion of the invasion of Italy
by the Lombards. Owing to his friendship
with the Lombardlan queen Theudulinda,
he actually inedluted a favorable,
peace. When northern Italy was
devastated by Attlla the venerable
bishop of Rome, Leo I?the first of the
great popes?by a personal encounter
with the king of the Huns, prevented !
him from marching upon Rome. Ho
went in 452 to upper Italy, and met
Attlla at Mlnclo, In the vicinity of
Mantua, obtaining from him the promise
that he would withdraw' from Italy
and negotiate peace with the emperor.
This pope also succeeded In obtaining
another favor for the inhabitants of1
Rome. When in 455 the city was captured
by the Vandals under Geneserlc,
the "scourge of God," Leo's lnterces-j
Blon obtained a promise that the city
should not be Injured and the lives of i,
the Inhabitants should be spared. , (
Another pope, Benedict the Twelfth, I
who from 1334 to 1342 occupied the 1
holy see, was as unsuccessful as a I
mediator as the present supreme pon-f
tiff. At that time Charle3 IV of France
hc.d died wit*1""1' lonvlncr en heir, and I
when his cousin, Philip VI, put the |
crown on his head, his right to do so <
was contested by Edward IH of Eng- i
land. Benedict XII, who wanted to
mediate, was not listened to, and there
ensued hostilities lasting, with some
Interruptions, for a hundred years.
The popes mediated successfully between
Christian opponents lu cases
where It was imporiuul to unite them
In the common cause of Christianity
against Turkey.
jruyu varegory \LZti1-12715), Tor the
sake of a crusade against the Turks,
worked Indefatlgably upon a reconciliation
of the princes In Italy and
Germany, and Paul III . (1634-1549),
nearly three centuries later, tried to
prevent a war between Spain and
France. Clement IX aided Venice
against the Turks by mediating the
peace between Louie XIV and Spam,
etc.
What You've Been Waiting For. |
Masculine readers are not usually
Interested In pictures showing feminine
fashions, notes the Outlook, but certain
halftones In a Brooklyn furrier's
catalogue are calculated to awaken a
somnolent intellectual activity In the j
man who has been leisurely conning i
the rise In coal and milk bills. On the
first page Is shown an evening wrap
made of chinchilla; Its price is $10,-1
000. The next page Illustrates a wrap I
which Is made up In various furs to |
suit different sized purses. The hum-:
bier seeker for borrowed warmth may
get this moleskin for the trifle of $850; j
more fastidious tastes may call for one
of ermine at $2,000; those who prefer ,
Hudson Bay sable may secure their,
choice for $15,000; while the ludy who
desires "the real thing" may have her
wrap made of Russian sable at a cost
of $75,000. An inferior garment of
Russian sable, It may be added, will
be furnished at $25,000 for anyone of
economical taste*.
Overalls and Petticoats.
The bloomer Idea Is going out among
the French women employed In factories,
especially munition works, do
cording to a letter from ono of the industrial
centers over there, and return
has been made to the skirt that ever
has been the badge of femininity. Only
where working closo to certain machinery
would make skirts dangerous have
they been discarded for bloomers, or,
in most instances, overalls. What was
taken up as a fad, says a correspondent,
has given way to the older and
stronger dictates of modesty. And
after work, in spite of the fact that it
has been work amid grease and dirt
of the exceptional cort?or perhaps
because of it?there is recourse to the
powder puff and the other appurtenances
of frill that in some form or
other are synonymous with woman the
world over.
Paper Money's Nicknames.
Now that paper money is a permanent
part of our pocket currency, we
await the inevitable nickname for the
notes, which is sure to come, says the
London Chronicle.
If we follow the precedent set across
uie auuiiuc in wnen "greenbacks"
first made their oppearanee, we might
be satisfied with "Westminster," with
reference to the very admirable lithograph
of the palace which adorns the
reverse of the new notes. Something
better than that 5a sure to come along.
In the army the notes are known as
"C8's," In Jocular allusion to the remarkably
narrow chest which the artist
has given St. Oeorge. who Is in con
fllct with a verx robust dragon.
