UP TO CHURCH To AID
nuns At VERA CRUZ
State Department Is Doubtful if
Government Can Get Religious
Refugees Out of Mexico.
APPROPRIATION NOT AVAILABLE

That the several hundred priests and
nuns who have taken refuge in Vera
Cruz will have to be brought out Of
Mexico by the religious orders Of
which they are members was the in
dication here yesterday.
The State Department has been APP
pealed TO on behalf OF these refugees.
but it now seems most doubtful II this
government is in a position to extend
either relief or protection to the mem
bers OF the religious orders.
The State Department, officials here
believe, cannot furnish, transportation
to the United States for these refugees,
numbering between 400 and 500. as the
appropriation for relief work in Mexico
limits the expenditure to Americans on
ly. 1t also was intimated yesterday that
the American Red Cross can not do
anything for the refugees. as 1t has
not any funds which can be turned to
this purpose.
1t also was authoritatively indicated
yesterday that there is no use of the
clerical refugees thinking Of remaining
United States government. Most OF the
schools, converts and other institutions.
from whence these refugees came to
Vera Cruz. after being driven out in
the advance OF the revolution, will not
be permitted to reopen. and the exit OF
the nuns and priests from Mexico is
desired by the Mexico City government.
1t is stated that the priests and nuns
need have no fear OF imprisonment or
execution. but that the government is
firmly determined that they shall not
re-estabIish themselves in Mexico.
No action has yet been taken by. the
State Department in the case. beyond
asking Consul Canada. at Vera Cruz. to
investigate the situation and ascertain
the numbers Of the refugees and their
condition.

AGREED TO INCREASE
RESERVE BANKS Credit.
House Currency Committee Approves
Proposal to Permit Member Banks
to Garry All Their Reserves.
WARBURG EXPLAINS PURPOSES

+ The Federal Reserve Boards sugges-
tion that II be given power TO permit
member banks to carry in the Federal
reserve banks all their reserves, which
was opposed for a time by the. House
Banking and Currency Committee. was
approved by the committee yesterday
after a long wrangle. Its operation, how
ever. was limited to a period OF three
years.
Paul NJ Warburg appeared 0cfsrc the
committee and explained that Che pur-
pose of the measure was to increase ths
credit which might he extended b.. MEM
bers of the new system. Mr.. %arburS
stated his belief that the credit increase
would be about $500, 10000.
Representative Buckley Of Ohio, Demo-
crat, a member of the committee. said
the change would mean an initiation of
Sc, 600 900, 900. Other members Of tie COM
mittee said IL would not be likely that
the banks would take advantage Of the
change beyond the limit Of one-ttird OF
their reserves.
The basic purpose of the warburg
proposal, so the board member stated.
was to ease the shock to the financial
community of the starting OF the Federal
reserve banks. Some members Of the
committee predicted that amendments
would be found necessary for two or
three years to come.
In the bill which the committee re-
ported favorably with regard to these
reserves, was also a provision author
izing the Secretary Of the Treasury to
set up a system of clearances Of ma
tionaI bank notes between-th Treasury,
the Federal reserve banks and the men,
Der banks.
The committee also voted favorably to
report the bill which was recommended
by the Federal Reserve Board some
time ago to assist in solving the for
eign exchange situation. This bill in
creases the amount of acceptances which
Federal reserve banks and member banks
may discount up to a maximum Of one
half the unimpaired capital and surplus
of the banks in question.

BY this time Russia considered the
situation so serious that M. Sazonon
telegra phed to the Russian Ambassador
in London on July 25:
I'm case of a fresh aggravation OF
the situation provoking corresponding
acts on the part Of the great powers we
rely upon England not delaying to take
her stand clearly with Russia and
France. so as to maintain the European
equilibrium in support OF which she has
constantly interviewed in the past and
which would undoubtedly be comprom-
lsed in the event OF the triumph Of
Austria
Ambassador Benckendorff replied: Sir
Edward Grey has told me the German
Ambassador declares Germany absolutely
sustains the Austrian demand, asking at
the same time II England would consent
to act at st. Petersburg in a spirit OF
Cancellation.
Sir Edward Grey replied 1t would be
absolutely impossible and England re-
served for herself complete liberty OF
action IL Austrian mobilization compelled
Russian mobilization. and thereby all the
great powers became involved"
Would Involve Russian Move.
Ambassador Benckendorff telegraphed
again, later the same day:
Sir Edward Grey has told the Ger
man Ambassador that in his opinion Aus
TRAN mobilization would involve mobili-
zation of Russia. and that then would
arise an acute danger of a general war
and that he saw only one means of
pacific solution-that in the presence Of
Austrian and Russian notifications Ger
many. France, Italy and England should
abstain from Immediate. mobilization and
tender their good offices at once.
Sir Edward Grey, told me that this
plan necessitated above all the agree
ment of Germany and the undertaking
of that power not to mobilize. Conse-
quently he has sent an immediate ques-
ton to Berlin on this subject
