Oklahoma City.—
Individual deposits in state banks In
Oklahoma have increased more than
three millions of dollars in the last
twelve months, despite the fact that
there are fifteen less banks, it Is
Shown by a consolidated statement of
the condition of all state banks Just
completed by Bank Commissioner J.
t>. Lankford.
With 6C7 banks answering the call
Issued by Commissioner Lankford,
total individual deposits of $41,244,-
700.64 are shown. At this time last
year 572 state banks showed deposits
aggregating $38,621,491.05, records of
the banking department disclose. The
fifteen banks not accounted for have
nationalized since last year.
Although state banks in 1910 showed
Individual deposits aggregating ap-
proximately $45,000,000, it is patent,
according to the banking department,
that this, the highest record in the
state’s history, is not as favorable as
the one Just established. The reason
Is that when the high mark was
reached in 1910 there were 691 state
banks. Since then 134 have national-
ized, taking all their deposits out of
the state column. Records of the
banking department show that in
June, 1913, 598 state banks reported
deposits of $39,000,000; in 1912 there
were 628 banks, with $34,000,000 de-
posits; in 1911, 638 banks had $*9,000,-
000, while in 1910, the banner year, 691
banks had deposits aggregating $45,-
000,000.
Reserve Increased.
Total resources of state banks now
aggregate $66,000,000, approximately,
on increase of $2,000,000 over the
approximate $54,000,00 reported in
June, 1914, The average reserve held
this year Is 29.4 per cent, compared
With 29.3 last year.
Overdrafts amounting to $304,620.36
are given in the statement, Included
In the resources. The banking depart-
ment expects this column to be greatly
reduced when the next report is re-
ceived as the result of positive orders
Sent out forbidding the practice of al-
lowing overdrafts under any circum-
stances.

shown by reports issued under the
Bate of June 23, pronounced by com-
Ihissloner os "very favorable," follows:

That the total taxuble valuation
for the state this year will reach
about $1,200,000,000 or about $120,000,-
600 more thn last year, i* tlie belief
of members of tbe stale equalization
board.
The valuation, before equalization
Was made, was $899,497,396. Up to
this time tha assessments made
against public service corporations
amount to $219,394,843, while the ten-
tative assessment*! made against the
remaining public service corporations
are upon an aggregate valuation
amounting to $63,864,867.
In the figures above given are sev-
eral public service corporations not
yet assessed.
The total amount of gross produc-
tion tax up to date was $118,673.60,
of which amount $38,673.60 was re-
ceived in the mall
Capital Contract Signed.
After weeks of delay, the state fin-
ally reached an agreement with
James Stewart & Company on the
form of the capitol building contract
and the document was signed by Gov*
ernor Williams, the three member!
of the canitol commision and JoI1n
H. KrederiLKson, western manager fot
the construction company. The ad
vance guard of Stewart & Company’s
army of skilled workmen commenced
dt once the huge task of completing
the mighty $1,500,000 state house ip
the short time of two years allotted
for the work.
With the formal closing of the con.
tract the work of the capitol commlai
slon, composed of W. B. Anthony, Pat
Goulding and Stephen A. Douglas, is
Just about concluded, for the present,
at any rate. In fifteen days, at the
latest, the body will adjourn subject
to the call of the governor, who is ex!
officio chairman, according to the
terms of the law covering the erection
of the building, enacted by the fifth
legislature. The members of the com-
mission cease drawing a regular salary
and will receive $10 a day and travel-
ing expense when actually called in
session.
The general contractor is taking
charge of the building Just about q
year aftor the work was started by the
capitol commission. Ground for the
building was broken In July, 1914, but
it was after August 1 that the actual
excavation for the foundation was
started.
According to the terms of the con-
tract the capitol must be finished with-
in 750 calendar days from the time the
contract was signed, or slightly more
than two years. The legislative
chambers are to be ready for occu-
pancy, however, by December 1, 1916,
in time for the next reguiur session
of (ho legislature.
Washington.—Great Britain’s re-
plies to the latest American represen-
tations against Interferences with neu-
tral commerce reject entirely the con-
tention that the orders in council are
Illegal and Justify the British course
as being wholly within international
law.
“Unsustainable either in point of
law or upon principles of International
equity” is the British reply to the
American protest against the blockade
of neutral ports, with an invitation to
submit to international arbitration
any cases in which the United States
is dissatisfied with the action of Brit-
ish prize courts.
Great Britain’s reply is embodied in
two notes, one supplemental. With
the notes was made public also the
correspondence over the American
steamer Neches, seized by the British
while en route from Rotterdam to the
United States with goods of German
origin. All the correspondence aggre-
gates 7,000 words.
Changed conditions of warfare, the
British note contends, require a new
application of the principles of inter-
national law. The advent of the sub-
marine, the airship and the alleged
atrocities by German troops in Bel
gium are cited as justification for the
exercise of extreme measures. The
blockade is justified on the conten-
tion that the universally recognized
fundamental principle of a blockade
is that a belligerent is entitled to cut
off “by effective means the sea-borne
commerce of his enemy.”
Policy To Be Continued.
The note reiterates that Great Brit-
ain will continue to apply the orders
complained of although not without
every effort to avoid embarrassment
to neutrals and observes that the
American statistics show that any loss
in trade with Germany and Austria
has been more than overbalanced by
the increase of other industrial activ-
ities due to the war.
In the general reply to the American
representations a-galnst the orders In
council, Sir Edward Grey, the foreign
minister, addressing Ambassador Page,
begins by expressing the hope that he
may be able to convince the adminis-
tration In Washington “that the mensures
we have announced are not only reason-
able and necessary In themselves but
constitute no more than an adaptation
of the old principles of blockade to the
peculiar circumstances with which wa
ara confronted.”
purpose _
blockade upon those extended liues Is.
whether to use your excellency's words,
they 'conform to the spirit u*»d princi-
ples of th-i essence of the ruies of war,'
and we shall be content to apply this
test to the action which we have taken
insofar us It has necessitated interfer-
ence with neutral commerce."
Sir Edward Grey then refers to tha
American civil war blockade of 1,900
miles of coast with a small number ol
vessels, and recalls how the United States
finally took recourse to blockading “neigh-
boring neutral territory which afforded
coavenlent centers from which contraband
could be Introduced Into confederate ter-
ritory and from which blockade running
could be facilitated.'’
Doctrine of Continuous Voyage.
“Your excellency will no doubt re-
member," wrote Sir Edward, “how In or-
der to meet this new difficulty the
old principles relating to contraband and
blockade were developed and the doc-
trine of continuous voyage was applied
and enforced under which goods destined
for the enemy territory were intercepted
before they reached the neutral porta from
which they were to be reexported.
“The difficulties which Imposed upon
the United States the necessity for re-
shaping some of the old rules are some-
what akin to those with which the allies
are now faced In dealing with the trade
of their enemy. Adjacent to Germany
are various neutral countries which afford
her convenient opportunities for carrying
on her trade with foreign countries. Her
own territories are covered by a network
of railways and waterways which enable
her commerce to pass as conveniently
through ports in such neutral countries
as through her own. A blockade limited
to enemy ports would leave open routes
by which every kind of German commerce
could pass almost as easily aa through the
ports in her own territory.
“Rotterdam Is Indeed the nearest out
let for some of the industrial districts
of Germany. It seems, accordingly, that
If It be recognized that a blockade is
in certain cases the appropriate method
of intercepting the trade of an enemy
country and If the blockade can only be-

Leecraft Collects $50,000 In Month.
Opening the new highway depart-
ment July 1, A. N. Leecraft, who
acted as commissioner for the last
month, collected more than $50,000 for
the state for motor vehicle tags and
licensee.
Mr. Leecraft has gone back to his
old position of secretary to Governof
Williams, and George Noble, until now
state game and fish warden becomes
highway commissioner. Mr. Noble
will be succeeded by John Chenowcth.
"I believe $100,000 will be paid Into
the hlghwny department during the
next thirty days,” said Mr. Leecraft-
"Now that the department is organized

Reference to Alleged Atrocltle*.
Sir Edward then refers to alleged
atrocities tn Belgium, poisoning of wellH
In German Southwest Africa, use of
lolsonous gases against the allied troops
Flanders and finally the sinking of
the Lusitania to show “how Indispen-
sable It Is that we should leave unused
no Justifiable method of defending our-
selves."
Corning down to the question of the
allied blockade of neutral ports tbe note
continues:
“111 tbe various notes which I have re-
ceived from your excellency, the right of
belligerent to establish a blockade of
e enemy ports Is admitted, a right
which has obviously no value save In-
sofar as it gives power to a belligerent
to cut off the sea-borne exports and
Imports of Ills enemy. The contention
which I understand the United States
government now puts forward Is that If
belligerent is so clrcumBtancod that
his commerce can pnss through adjacent
noutral ports as easily as through ports
in his own territory, his ospnnent has
no right to interfere and must restrict
his measures to blockade in such a man-
ner as to leave such avenues of com-
merce still open to tils adversary. This
Is a contention which bis majectys

and which seems to them unsustainable

ples of International equity.
Legal If Only Effective Way.
“They are unable to admit that a bel-
ligerent violates any fundamental prin-
ciple of International law by applying a
blockade in such a way as to cut off
the enemy’s commerce with foreign
countries through neutral ports, if the
circumstances render such an applica-
tion of the principles of blockade the
only moans of making It effective. The
government of tbe United States, Indeed
Intimates Its readiness to take into an-
count 'the great changes which have oc
curred In tbe conditions nnd means

governing legal blockade were formu-
lated," nnd recognizes that 'the form of

Civil War Instance Cited.
The note then refers to the case of
the British ship Springbok, seized by
United States cruisers during the civil
war while bound for tbe Brltloh West
Indies because her cargo, it wns charged,
was to be trans-shipped to the confed-
erate states. The supreme court of the
United States sustained the seizure
against the condemnation of a group of
prominent international lawyers, al-
though the United States and British
governments took the broader view and
recognized the development of the ohlei
method of blockade. No protest was made
by Great Britain.
Matamoroa Cases Cited.
Tho celebrated Matamoros cases of the
civil wnr then are cited to show that
the supreme court of the "United States
held It had the right to reverse the de-
cisions of prize courts ana that “there
was no doubt of the Jurisdiction of an
International tribunal to review the de-
cisions of the prize courts of the United
States, where the parties alleging them-
selves aggrieved hud prosecuted theff
appeals to the court of last resort.”

demanded tho expeditious release of the
American owned goods detained under
the orders In council "tho International

Inundated a large section of the city.

and in some sections reached to the
second story windows of dwellings.

In the meantime the first bulletin of

by the Associated Press operator, who

distance of seven blocks, und there

All telephone wires were put out of

London.—The Germans are In pos*
session of Warsaw, capital of Poland
and third largest city in the Russian
empire. Bavarian troops entered the
city, having taken successively the
Blonie lines and the outer and inner
fortresses of the city itself, the Rus-
sians fighting only rear guard actions
to allow their main army to make good
its escape.
While to the Bavarians, commanded
by Prince Leopold, has fallen the hon-
or of taking over Warsaw in the name
of the German emperor and his con-
sort, who are expected to make a
state entry within a few days, the real
conquerors are the troops fighting un-
der Field Marshal von Hindenburg
along the Narew river to the north-
east; to the Austro-Germans who
crossed the Vistula south of the city
and to the armies of the Austrian Arch
Duke Joseph Ferdinand and the Ger-
man Field Marshal von Mackensen,
which are advancing northward be-
tween the Vistula and Bug rivers.
Riga To Be Evacuated.
The Russians also are preparing to
evacuate Riga, the port on the gulf of
that name In the north. The arrival of
the Germans ten miles south of that
city already has been the cause of the
civilian population departing.
The Russians are fighting desperate-
ly and stubbornly to check the prog-
ress of these four armies and have had

claimed the six defendants had com

several successes, Inflicting heavy loss-
es on their pursuers; but they are be-
ing steadily pressed back which made
the longer occupation of the Warsaw
Polish salient an arduous undertaking.
Even now, although the steadiness of
the Russian troops and their fierce
counter-attacks have gained much val-
uable time for them, it is problematical
whether the whole Russian army will
succeed in reaching the new positions
chosen for it, or whether if it should
get there it will not find those positions
turned by the Austrians who have
crossed the Bug southeast of Chelm,
and the Germans, under Generals Von
Schioz and Von Gallwltz, who have
crossed the Narew.
Threatened From Northeast.
At the northeastern end of the lino-
the Russian communications are fur-
ther threatened by General Von Bue-
low, who is advancing toward Dvinsk
on the Vilna-Petrograd railway. In-
deed the Austro-Germans have set
three traps to catch and destroy the
Russian army. None of them was
sprung, but one was so near to closing
that Grand Nicholas wus forced to
evacuate Warsaw and now is fighting
with all Ills might to prevent the others
from cutting off his retreat.
Thus far he seemingly has been sue.
cessful, for although the Germans
claim the capture of a large number of
prisoners, tho aggregate Is small when
compared with the Immense forces en-
gaged. In addition the Russian guns
apparently are well on their way to the
rear. From refugoes who left Warsaw
some days ago and have arrived at
Moscow, It has been learned thnt War-
saw even at that early date had been
denuded of virtually everything that
might be useful to the Teutons. Fac-
tories had been stripped of their ma-
chinery and all wur stores movod Into
the interior of Russia.
Since early In May when they started
their groat counter offensive in west-
ern Galicia ugnlDBt the Russians who
were debouching through the Carpa
thions onto the plains of llungury, the
troopH of the Germanic powers have
cleared tho Russians out of Galicia,
with the exception of a narrow strip
of territory in the southwest, have ro
captured Przemysl ami Lemberg, huvt
taken Lublin, Chelm and Warsaw and
are in military occupation of virtually
the whole of Poland and surrounding
districts.
