depositor that ho had deposited tho
sums so withdrawn from tho account
m a certain trust company in Now
York city, one of whose deposit books
ho had obtained and in which book
he would enter up in his own hand
writing as deposits with tho trust
company the amounts of money with
drawn from tho Chemical National
bank on debit slips or forged checks.
io also forged tho depositor's name
to certain demand notes to tho ex
tent of about $80,00Q, which amount
he got from the Chemical Bank and
personally appropriated.
The aggregate amount of tho
forged notes placed in tho Ctiemical
bank and the false credits shown on
the deposit book of tho trust corapauy
was about $300,000.
Such embezzlements and forgeries
would have been practically impos
sible had they not been perpetrated
by an officer of the bank in whom the
directors and junior officers reposed
implicit confidence.
The Chemical1 National bank has
arranged to make good to the depos
itor the entire amount thuj embezzled.
The national bank examiner has
practically completed his regular
semi-annual examination of the
Chemical National bank, and has re
ported to the comptroller's office
that the bank is in fine condition
and the amount involved is small va
compared with the bank's capital
and surplus. He also states that he
finds no indications whatsoever of
further irregularities. M-.rtii.dale's
forgeries and embezzlements, as far
as have been ascertained, were con
fined to the accounts of this one de
positor. This experience should serve as a
warning to national banks that no
irregulairtles, liberties or unbusiness
like methods' or practices should be
countenanced or permitted on the
part of any employee of a bank, how
ever high his official position; and
should serve as a warning also
against freedom in the use of cash
ier's checks or charge slips.
It appears that Martindale's em
bezzlements began about sixteen
years ago; and that for years past he
has made it a practice 10 be on hand
at the bank at the close of each
month in order that he .might per
sonally look afUr the statements
rendered this particular depositor.
More than a year ago the comp
troller's j.flce, in calling upon na
tional banks to furnish a list of em
ployees who had been allowed no va
cations in five years, said:
"Because most men are physically
and mentally in shape to perform
their duties most efficiently when
they have the benefit of a yearly va
cation and because of other obteus
advantages, including the better op
portunity -fforded of having an im
partial check made of the books and
accounts of all employees while on
vacation, besides the training given
understudies and assistants, the
comptroller commends the granting
of a vacation period to all bank em
ployees ach year."
The experience of the Chemical
National tank lends fresh emphasis
to this recom itndation and it is
hoped it will be heeded by the banks.

PROMISE TO AVENGE AIR RAIDS
SOON
A London cablegram, dated Oct.
4, says: Formation of a special min
istry to return measure for measure
to the Germans for air raids over
London. Is the war cabinet's resnonsc
td tho public demand for reprisals, '
according to the Chronicle today.
The special minister, it was as
serted, would concentrate British
aerial forces specifically for raids
over Germanycities. His duty would
be to devise tho maximum amount of
frightfulness wliich could be inflicted
on German cities.
Proponents of a vigorous reprisal
policy brought a now argument to
day. It was that the German cities
most accessible for British raids were
'in southern Germany and the
southern German, according to re
ports, is chafing over too much Prus
sianism in the empire.

INSURE NOW
Often you hear a man say: "I am not ready
just now to take any -nore life insurance. I
need all my money as I am extending my busi
. ness. A little later when I get things moving
better, then I will consider it." Ready money
may be scarce, but would it not be scarcer if
he did not live to .-ucceBsfully develop his plans?
The insurance company will willingly supply
the ready money needed chould death occur,
provided you have a policy In it. There Is only
one time In which things are done. That Is the
present. Things done In the past, were done in
the then present. Things will be done in the
future, but when they are doing, the time will
be the present. Insure now in
