TO BUILD UP AMERICAN
SHIPPING.

The action of the present admins
tration in allowing foreign ships to
register under the American flag has
met with general approval even from
Republican papers. Progressive pa
pers generally, seem to condemn the
plan, and with little or no argument,
other than the senile suggestion that
we will incur the displeasure of other
nations.
This is no time for child's play. 1t
is said that one week of war has tied
UP seven hundred million dollars
worth of American products in our
harbors, and demand for thUse pro-
ducts in European markets has never
been stronger. If American ship
ping capacity is increased by the
registry and purchase of foreign
ships to something like the magni-
tude of transatlantic shipping by
all nations prior to the breaking out
of war, there is nc good reason why
any industry in the United States
should suffer, and there are good rea-
sons why producers of food stuffs
and OF, manufactured products should
prosper as never before.
The English navy will keep open
port to u ships in practically all
European countries except Germany
and Austria, and if we can not sell
our produce to Germany neither will
we have to compete with Germany
in the thousands of manufactured ar
ticles with which she supplies the
world.
The purchase or registry of foreign
ships, by the United States, means
more to the cotton farmer than can
be computed-more than the very
important plan now under considera-
ton of providing funds by direct
treasury loans for financing the cot
ton crop, for all the wealth of Wall.
street can not keep up the price of.
cotton if consumption is confined to.
American mills.
All the talk about the seizure of
registered or purchased ships by war
ring nations is merest bosh.
In the first place, England is sure
to keep the Atlantic clear of hostile
war ships.
In the second place, England, Rus
STA, France and all other countries
protected by English ships are most
anxious for the very things we have
to sell.
In the third place, it is lawful to-
accept to registry or to purchase out
right foreign ships to carry on lawful
trade, and no nation will be SO fool
ish as to become embroiled with the
United States by tampering with the
ships that fly the flag.
Then again there are many ships
American built and American own
ed, that have heretofore operated I'M
der the flags of other countries.
Surely there could be no information
al complication to prevent these
ships from registering under our
flag.
Really this seems to,be the United
States opportunity to build up its
shipping interest, temporarily by
government purchase and by corpo-
rate purchase as well; and the plan
is far preferable to the undemocraticI
and generally condemned subsidy.
The shipping interest of the Uni
ted States was ruined by war and it
seems that by war it will be built up
again.

cRoATIoN SOCIETY TROUBLES
The Hoquiam Lodge Splits Over Eu'
ropean War and Courts Are
Asked to Settle Trouble

The Hoquiam Lodge Of the Nation
al Creation society has taken its
troubles to the superior court, in a
suit for the books and funds. The
lodge split into two factions in Au
gust over the European war;, one fac
ton favoring the attitude Of Austria
and the other that of Servia.
The suit is brought by Anton Bar
aka, as trustee for the lodge and Mar
tin F. Smith as attorney, and is
against John Savin and Michael Sat
low, formerly secretary and treasur
er for the lodge. The complaint al
leges that Aug. 18 of this year there
arose a serious breach among the
members. AS a result large mum.
ber of the members renounced their
membership and left the lodge.
Among those who left, it is alleged
were the two defendants, who, in
their capacity of treasurer and secre.
tary. had all of the money and books
of the lodge, which they retained and
which they still retain. There was
about 5000 in the treasury. Mr.. Bar.
aka. for the lodge, seeks to recover
the books and money and $1O0 addi.
tional as damages.

County Commissioners Find
a Number Of Voting Pre-
cincts to Be Changed
ROCK CRUSHER CLAIM
Fishel Reports Forestry De-
partment Will Aid Finish
Of Quiniault Road

MONTESANO, Nov. 16.-Commis-
sioners Wilson and Fishel were pres
ent at the meeting of the board to-
day and the session was devoted
chiefly to routine work.
The auditor was instructed to find
out any changes desired in city pre-
cincts before next meeting as the
election precincts for two years from
now are to be made up at the next
meeting. The law says that when a
precinct has more than 800 voters it
shall be divided. There are seven
such precincts in the county. They
are: the second of the Second ward
and first of the Fifth ward in Aber-
deem; Cosmopolis; Elma, number two;
the first and the second of the Fourth
ward in Hoquiam; the fourth pre-
cinct in Montesano. and Summit.
Besides these, where under the law
changes must be made, there are one
or two other precincts that should
be changed for the convenience Of
voters.
Mr.. Fishel has word that the Unit
ed States Forestry department pro-
poses, to put in sufficient funds to fin
ish out the contract work \on the
Quiniault road.
Merely as a matter of form the
votes of Moclips incorporation have
to be canvassed by the county COM
missioners. /
The commissioners received an uii-
4 usually modest claim from o. Blech-
schmidt, whose threshing engine went
through the Garrard creek bridge. The
d, claim was for only $191.55 and it is
understood the machine was badly
smashed. -,
The J. l. Case Machinery company
bill against the county for rock
crusher, which the county has not
accepted, is not SO modest, $1,000. It
was presented by Attorney w. H.
Abel, who insists it is valid claim.
The machine was guaranteed to crush
certain amount of rock per day with
certain gasoline engine for power.

ABERDEEN LOSES
TOEVERETT HIGH
Local Football Team was
Outclassed at Play, but
Royalty Entertained

The Aberdeen High School football
team put up a great game at Everett
Saturday, but was outclassed by the
Everett team, which scored the vic
tory, 10 to 6. Aberdeen had the best
of it in avoirdupois, the team outweigh
ing Everett about five pounds to the
man, but the latter showed the best
training, although they admitted the
game was the most hotly contested
they had played in four years.
Coach Hawley says that the best
team won and that his players had
fought their best and were entitled tc
credit. Hawley said that had Aber
deem been in perfect condition he be
lieved they could not have won against
an all-star delegation such assEverett
has developed this season.
The treatment of the Aberdeen team
and fans by Everett was at all times
courteous and Everett proved as good
winner as Aberdeen a loser. The
Aberdeen team, which was the first
to appear on the field was given a
wild demonstration and Aberdeen s
hard fighting and spirited playing
gained applause in the Everett bleach
ers. In the evening following the
game the Everett boys gave a dance
in honor of the Aberdeen players.

BANKING LAW
BEGINS new ERA
Federal Reserve System in
Effect Yesterday-Opens
Rediscount Business
MARKS FINANCIAL EPOCH
Secretary McAdoo Outlines
Benefits Expected to Ac-
crue to the Country

WASHINGTON. Nov. Is. - After
months of work on the part of the
federal reserve board and preparation
by the banks which will be members
of the new system, the twelve federal
reserve banks will open their doors
to business tomorrow. Their entrance
into the field of rediscount will mark
the first great change in the banking
system of this country in the last
fifty years, since the national bank
was conceived and called into being
after the civil war.
The twelve banks, designed to take
care of the commercial needs of the
entire nation, are located in the fol-
lowing cities: Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, Richmond, Atlanta,
Cleveland, Chicago, Minneapolis, st.
Louis, Kansas City, Dallas and San
Francisco.
Scope Is Limited.
For the present the operations of
the banks will be limited alrgely to
the rediscounting of notes, drafts and
bills of exchange, but as experience is
gained steps to have them exercise
their other functions under the cur
rency act will be taken. The directors
of all the banks have been selected,
the board has named it's representa-
tives for each and suitable quarters
have been secured in all the twelve
cities.
The system starts with 1911 mem
Der banks. Their authorized capital is
$1O5, 795, 800, of which One-sixth has
been called and is in their vaults. The
exact figures for the cash reserves
in all twelve banks have not been
accurately computed, but the estimate
puts the amount at close to $3.50, ,000,.
900, drawn under the law from the
present reserve agents of member
banks.
Marks New Era.
The formal call at opening will be
sent out tomorrow by Secretary of
the Treasury McAdoo. He said to-
night:
"The opening of these banks marks
new era in the history of business
and finance in this country. It is be-
lieved that they will put an end to
the annual anxiety from which the
country has suffered for the past gen
erations about insufficient money and
credit to move the crops each year
and will give such stability to the
banking business that the extreme
fluctuations in interest rates and avail
able credits which have characterized
banking in the past will be destroyed
permanently.
1.-THE federal reserve banks provide
for a system of credits based upon
commercial paper, thus at last secur
ing an adequate supply of the neces
sary credits to meet the legitimate de-
mands of business as they develop
The supply will be absolutely respons
i've to the demand, and thus business
will be freed from restrictions, limit
ations and injuries from which it has
suffered in the past, because it has
not been able to receive at the time
when most needed the credit facilities
which are essential to it's regular and
proper development. The whole coun
try is to be congratulated"
