= Contrary to the usual complete quietude
OF early Lent, the season began with a
number OF clever affairs, the first days
being indeed so filled with gay affairs that
the time has been altogether too short to
crowd in the things one wanted to do
The influx of visitors. rather unusual at
this period. has occasloned plans for a
number of iuncheons, dinners and various
functions, so 1t is probable that the alb
solute obss rvance of Lent will not be
so general this year confinins itself rather
TO the Episcopalian and Catholics, and not
te the people of other denominations who
have heretofore observed the season of
fasting and prayer rather as a time of
rest. and an interim in which number
OF serious affairs might be accomplished.
Mardi Gras, though early, came at de-
Iightful time this year, and the members
entered into its celebration at the annual
bail with unprecedented zest. 1t was de-
cidedly the most enjoyable ball of many
seasons, the maslSers and the others en-
tering into the spirit of the revelry with
an appreciation mixed with the sense
of humor that assured its successful cul-
mination, for the ludicrous features of a
masquerade ball are quite its best feat
ures
There was apparent more interest this
year than ever in the preparations for the
masquerade. so the costumes were most
varied. From collection OF photographs

Representative Mann Charges Presi.
dent With Seeking to Make Curren-

Washington, D. C.-Caustic criti-
cism of the presidents currency mes
sage and the charge that Mr.. Wilson
is seeking to make partisan question
out of currency reform, is contained
in a statement issued Monday by Rep
resentative Mann, the Republican
floor leader of the house.
"Outside of dealing out a little bunk
about new freedom there was moth
ing to the message" asserts Mr.
Mann, who prepared his statement
soon after the president left the Cap.
itol.
Washington, d. C. = President
Wilson indicated emphatically Mon
day that he would veto any currency
bill which does not contain the prin-
ciples embodied in the Glass bill.
The president said there will be no
compromise" on the principles of the
bill, although a number of the minor
details may be changed before the
measure finally passes.

Committee of American Bankers AS
ssocation Advocates Reform in
the Currency System.

New York.-The American Bankers
association has outlined it's views of
OF currency reform as follows;
The committee indcrsed the curren-
cy plan desired by the national none
tary commission; believe there should
be one central reserve association
with branches; that the nations bonds
should be widely held by citizens;
that there should be an elastic cur
rency, the amount to be controlled by
the gold reserve requirements against
it, and such reserves should be not
less than so per cent as recognized
minimum; that special tax might be
levied upon any deficiency of the re-
serve below the stipulated amount of
it, this tax to be increased as the de-
ficiency increases; such currency
should be issued by central reserve
association.

BRYAN 0 KS CURRENCY
Better Bill Than He Believed
Possible at This Time.
Ii Promises Relief in Time of Strin-
gency Without Giving Banks a
Power That Might Be Used
Against the Public.

Washington, D. C-Secretary of
State Bryan has indorsed the Glass
currency bill in statement issued:
81 am glad to indorse most earn
estly and unreservedly the currency
bill, which has been prepared by the
chairmen of the two congressional
committees, in conjunction with the
president and Secretary McAdoo. 1t
is much better bill than l supposed
1t possible to secure at this time.
have doubted until recently the wis.,
dom of attempting currency legisla-
ton at this session, but my doubts
were largely due to the fact that
feared the difficulties in the way
would prevent an agreement upon a
plan.
THE plan which the president now
urges confers great advantages upon
the banks, while it preserves to the
people, acting through the govern
ment, all that is essential for the pro-
lection of the public. The notes are
to be treasury notes, issued by the
government and loaned to the region
al reserve banks. The board of con-
troll is appointed by the president.
THE regional reserve banks are to
represent not only the national banks
of the district but such state banks as
are willing to put themselves upon
a footing which will be equitable to
the national banks. This is an i'm
portant provision and gives to the
state institutions a protection which
they deserve.
THE great point of advantage to
the banks-an advantage that ought
to make them willing to accept the
bill without questions that it fur
nishes currency which they can Sc
cure in time of need without having
to put up bonds as securities.
"The business interests will, /
think, welcome this bill as an unal-
tered blessing. 1t gives them through
their banks a promise of relief in
any time of stringency and it gives
this promise without putting in the
hands of the banks power that might
be used against the public.
II feel sure that the Democrats of
the senate and house will rally to the
support of the bill and | am sanguine
enough to believe that it will receive
a cordial support from Republicans
as WELL"
