PART THREE. “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. a bankThatwiLl 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. _ l il e '-^'£ a nization Committee consists or Mr. Thorpe, who presided; O. H. P. Belmont, Frank G. Griswold, Thomas T k Car £ e ’ ' Villiam K. Vanderbilt, Jr.; John C. Tomlinson, Harry Payne Whitney and James W. Ellsworth. 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. t —Rear Admiral Davis, selected to represent this country in the North ea court of arbitration, Is 69 years old, although ha has held his present rank only s few months.
