“AMERICAN” IN
PLACE OF “U. S ”
m
AS THE NATIONAL ADJECTIVE.
■the changes it would mean in
GOVERNMENT NOMENCLATURE.
Secretary Hay’s Order Thai Uncle
Sam’s Diplomats Drop the “U. S.”
Before Tlieir Titles and Use
“American” Has Snisnested Like
Changes In the Army and Navy as
to the “U. S.” Before the Titles ot
Ollleers and the Names of Ships.
Washington, Dec. 10. —If the national
adjective is to be “American” as is
signified by Secretary Hay’s direction
that diplomats term themselves the
American ambassador, the American
minister and so on, naval officers want
to know why their service should
not be known as the American Navy,
with A. N., instead of U. S. N., for
short.
The change brought about by Secre
tary Hay necessitates for the sake of
harmony a change in the navy. It
will be incongruous for the American
minister at some foreign port to go
aboard the U. S. S. Olympia, for in
stance. If a clfange is made in the
naval regulations the ships will be
designated A. S. Kearsarge, A. S.
Charleston, A. S. Monadnock and so
forth.
Naval officers will write their names,
for instance, Rear Admiral G. A. Con
verse, A. N., and marine officers will
add “A. M. C.,” instead of “U. S. M.
C.,” to their names.
If the change affects the navy it
equally affects the army. Instead of
the time honored "U. S.A.” it would
be "A. A.”
About the only effect of Sir Edward
Clarke’s recent suggestion that this
government adopt the name “Usona”
in place of America, which he declared
was an assumption of control of all
the Western Hemisphere, has been to
awaken a greater tenacity for the word
“America.”
“Usona” is generally ridiculed. One
of the remarks going around is that
this government is too far past the
breakfast food age to content itself with
"Usona.”
If the change becomes general pro
tests will probably be heard from
South America. Asa rule, naval of
ficers call themselves “American of
ficers,” and many of them have
found it like waving a red rag
at a bull when they said it to Brazil
ians. In South America the various
nationalities usually refer to people
from the United States as North Amer
icans.

KEEP OPEN JU.NIGHT.
New Line of Banking Business to Be
Started in New York.
New York, Dec. 10.—Much interest is
aroused in financial and commercial
circles by the announcement that
prominent New York financiers and
commercial men are arranging for the
organization of the First Night and
Day Bank and Safe Deposit Company,
a banking institution where customers
may obtain or deposit money and any
hour of the twenty-four. The details
of organization have not been perfect
ed, but the capital stock of $250,000 has
been subscribed and the projectors are
looking for a site in the vicinity of
Herald Square. It is likely that Mr.
Oakley Thorne of the North American
Trust Company, will be the president
of the new bank.
The Capitalists Buck of It.
Among those who have subscribed to
the capital stock are Winthrop Chan
ler. Center Hitchcock, Frederick Geb
hard, W. M. Chanler, Charles M. Oel
richS’ Augustus St. Gaudens, Joseph E.
u idener, J. Borden Harriman, Edward
” oleott and Clarence H. Mackay.

institution is to be conducted
along the lines of a state bank. In
fir' 1 ® be ,°P en every hour of the
twenty-four, it will have at least two
fortes of clerks, and, owing to the
neavy expenses involved, the bank will
not pay interest on deposits.
How the Scheme Originated.
The first talk of a day and night
bank wa S in May. 1903, when George
. Boldt, of the Waldorf-Astoria.
Planned an Institution which should
remain open until 10 o’clock at night,
the after dark business to be done
th/n® reor sanized Trust Company of
he Republic, which, it was said, was
to become the Waldorf-Astoria Trust
Company. •
Nothing was accomplished in that
direction, but the present movement
was the result of the experience of a
citizen who, while he had
♦-i.OOO on deposit in a downtown bank,
found himself at 11:30 o’clock at night
m serinns need of , 2 .200 in money.
>' itn the aid of hotel cashiers he
succeeded In raising the money and
tne difficulty he encountered In his
emergency suggested the starting of
“ bank to meet such cases.
'ale of an All Night Business.
Financiers smiled when the subject,
was first broached, but on second
'nought they recognized that the Idea
bad a strong practical side and It
soon gained sturdy adherents. Those
"’hom it will serve will be travelers
''no have arrived In the city after
banking hours or who wish to leave
Town before any other banks are
jdpen, theaters which may wish to
deposit receipts, clubs and night res
taurants.
The safe deposit department Is ex
pected to be a popular branch of the
new hank. Women returning from
the opera will be the First Night and
Day Bank’s vaults for the night, while
to customers owning bonds and other
securities In quantity the feature will
prove a great boon.
