SORT OF AN EXPERIMENT The new check clearing system, in augurated Saturday by banks which are members of the federal reserve system, may revolutionize the credit systems of all banks concerned, ac cording to Luher Drake, president of the Merchants' National bank of Omaha. "The new plan is a radical one, and more or less in the nature of an ex periment. We don't know how it will work out, or whether it will be perma nent." said Mr. Drake. "The new check clearing plan is in tended to make the exchange charge for handling all checks uniform at V2 cents for every transaction handled. That is, whether a check calls for 25 cents many thousands of dollars, the charge made to the bank or writer of the check for mak ing the transfer of funds between the banks concerned will be centl. Old System Abolished. "This does away with the old ex change system, whereby amounts of from 10 cents up, depending upon the amount of the transaction, were charged for handling the check. "In addition to this change, a de ferred credits system is now put into operation by the federal reserve board "Suppose, for instance, an Omaha wholesale house deposit $20,000 in checks with us, drawn on banks from all over the west. "We send these checks to the clear ing house, where, instead of giving us immediate credit for the amount, they send the checks on to the banks upon which they are drawn, and do not tender us credit until they are hon ored. Would Charge Interest. "Of course, if the banks can't get credit for these checks until they come back, possibly in from four to ten days, it will be difficult for the banks to credit the wholesaler with the amount deposited without charg ing interest to cover the period of time required for the bank itself to receive credit for the checks. "I believe that the local banks will each have to work out this problem for themselves. Nothing definite has been done yet, because we don't know just what the new system is going to do to us."

Government Declares It Is Not Politic to Show Its Hand Just Now. DIPLOMATS NOT ACTING London, July 17. The question of the possibility of a dispute between Great Britain and the United States over the statue of the German com mercial submarine Deutschland, which arrived recently in the United States, was raised in the House of Commons today by John Dillon, who asked Lord Robert Cecil, minister of war trade, to present immediately to Parliament the communications which had passed between the two governments, and to undertake to keep the house fully informed of the course of negotiations in this matter. Lord Robert replied that the corre spondence was proceeding and that it was not in the public interest that it should be published now. He would see that the suggestion to keep the house informed of the course of the negotiations was fully considered. "Will you see," asked Mr. Dillon, "that Parliament is not committed to a dispute with the United States without the house being given an op portunity of discussing the whole subject? ' Lord Robert replied: "1 don't think the house would wish me to give such an undertaking as that, but f will present the sugges tion to Sir Edward Grey " Two Received. Washington, July 17. Both the British and French embassies have made representations to the State de partment urging that the Deutschland is a potential warship not entitled to treatment in neutral ports as a peace ful merchantman. The British state ment of views was presented in writing, but with the explanation that it merely was for the information of the United States and was not in the nature of a protest. Now that the department has ruled formally that the submarine is en titled to recognition as a merchant vessel, it is understood the diplo matic representatives of the allies are awaiting instructions from their for eign omces.
