Washington, December 15.-Financial
conditions throughout the United States
have improved greatly in the last few
months, according to reports to the fed
eral reserve board today by some of the
country's most prominent bankers Credit
conditions were said to be exceptionally
good, reserves abundant and short term
money cheap.
The reports were made by members
of the advisory council, the only body
authorized by the reserve act to give
advice to the reserve board. Such well
known financiers as J. p. Morgan and
]. b. Forgan are among members of
the council. Their opinions on conditions
over the country were received by the
board as a most promising indication
that business generally is reviving.
The council held it's first session here
today IND met twice with the board. II
made no concrete recommendations al
thought the board asked for advice on
questions relating to time deposits, use
of acceptances and the admission into the
federal system of state banks. ihroush

equipped with torpedoes good from $500
to 5000 yards. He regarded the five
submarines at Colon as ready for any
emergency, to "take offensive action by
going out after any enemy's ships that
might menace the canal"
The commander said the navy now
had 35 modern destroyers and he be-
lieved there should be eight seagoing
submarines as a proportionate part of
a fleet.
"We should have submarine flotilla
on each coast" he said.
The largest submarine in the navy, he
testified going at three knots an hour,
could go 60 miles under water
A new submarine about to go into
commission could not go much more.
Representative Hobson asked in eff
feet IL there was any really adequate
defense of the country against great
battleship fleet, except by large navy
mot against military nation that
has a standing army and willing 10

INVASION" replied the officer.
Commander Stirling said he could not
conceive of any time when the subma-
rine would be able alone to control the
sea to make it safe for country's
commerce.

he declared he thought both coasts
equally safe as long as the canal coulo
be kept open for passage of the fleet.
The officers testimony as a subma-
rine commander that the battleship was
the prime factor in naval defense, at
tracted much interest among commit
tee members. Ultimate development OF
the battleship, he predicted, would pc
to a more offensive, rather than de-
fensiye type, with less armor ana more
speed. Development of the submarine

to accompany the battleships wherever
they go as terror to the enemy's pat

Asked regarding the is submarines
under his command, he said all OF
them could get into active commission
on comparatively short notice, II OF
them within 10 days, and the rest
within two weeks, except TWO that
are in reserve, and not yet accepted,
and one practically discarded. He told
of serious lack of tenders for the sub
marines and of no whe had repeatedly
asked for more.
Commander stirling said the navy
had 81 submarines altogether, counting
3S built, II building, and three more
authorized. OF these he said 20 were in
Pacific waters, including nine at Ma
Mia.

NO CHANGE IN
IMMIGRATION BILL

Washington, December 15-Although
President Wilson announced today he
did not favor the literacy test in the
pending immigration bill, indications to-
night were that the measure would be
sent to him for approval or veto with
the literacy provision unchanged. No
disposition to amend that section has
been apparent In the Senate. where the
bill Is under consideration.
1t was the literacy test which prompted
President Taft to veto the bill just be-
fore the close of his administration. The
measure. substantially unchanged, was
repassed by the House. President Wilson
said today he had not decided what ac-
ton he would take should 1t be passed
also by the Senate with the literacy test
included.
Consideration of committee amendments
virtually was completed today in the
Senate.
The only important change was the
elimination of the provision for medical
inspectors on immigration ships, which
was stricken out 80 to 25. Seven foreign
powers had protested against the section.
The Senate substitute virtually re-enacts
