OLNEY MAY HEAD
RESERVE BOARD
Names of Five Men Selected
Will Be Sent to Senate
This Week.
EACH SECTION ON LIST
Strong Doubt Exists that Former Sec
rotary of State Will Accept
Craftsmanship.

President Wilson has completed his
selections for the Federal Reserve Board
aud unless some of these decline mem
bership. the five nominations will be
sent to Senate this week. The five
men to whom the President is understood
to have rendered place on the Board are:
Richard Olney. of Boston, former
Secretary of State, who has been Of
feTCd the craftsmanship.
Paul NJ. Warburg, Of Kuhn, Loeb &
Co.
w. p. C. Harding. OF Birmingham,
Ala.
Harry A Wheeler. of Chicago.
A. C Miller. of San Francisco. He is
now Assistant Secretary of the Interior,
and before coming to Washington was
Chicago.
Strong doubts existed in the minds of
many persons at the Capitol last night
that Mr.. Olney will accept
Now Is 70 Years Old.
It was pointed out that he refused the
Enthusiastically to Great Britain last
year, giving as his most important rea-
son. his advanced age. He is now
seventy-nine years old.
Mr. OHley was visited in Boston last
week by Col. Z. NJ House, Of Texas, who
Informed him of the Presidents desire
10 name him chairman Of the board. He
consented to take the proffer under con-
sideration. but his final answer has not
yet been sent TO the White House.
Mr.. Oney, if he accepts. will represent
New England on the board: Mr.. War
burg will represent the East; Mr.. Hard
ing the South: Mr.. Wheeler, the Middle
West. and the fifth member will represent
the far West. The President, under the
provisions of the Glass-Owen currency
law. is empowered TO select the five mem
bers of the board aside from the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury and the Comptroller
Of the Currency with a consideration to
geographical. financial. and commercial
requirements. He is specifically forbid
den to select more than one member
from one Of the twelve reserve districts
which have bren designated by the or
Eanization committee OF the reserve
board.
The five members of the board
named by the President are required
to devote their entire time to the
business of the reserve system and are
allowed an annual salary of 1900.
They are debarred from holding any

position in any member bank OF the
reserve system during their incumben-
cy and two years thereafter.
The men appointed by the Presi-
dent. with Secretary McAdoo and
Comptroller Williams will have a tre-
mendous power in their hands. They
will control in a large measure, the
finances of the country. They will
have the power of fixing discount
rates in the various districts. and may
order the transfer of reserves from
one section to another.
Probably the first big task which will
devolve upon the board, will be TO review
the selections of reserve districts and
cities announced by the organization
committee. An attempt surely will be
made by dissatisfied bankers in cities
which failed TO get reserve banks to
have the organization committee re-
versed. Two cities from which such de-
mands are sure TO come are Baltimore
and New Orleans

NEW YORK BANKERS PLEASED
AT SELECTION OF oLNEy

New York, May 4-Local banks today
strongly Endorsed the reported appoint
ment of Richard NJ. Olney as governor
of the Federal Reserve Board. and Paul
NJ. Warburg. as a member of the board.
There seemed, however. TO be n belief
in important banking circles that Mr.
Olney would decline the position owing
TO his advanced age. and the fact that
last year he refused the Ambassadorship
to Great Britain.
A. Barton Hepburn. chairman of the
Chase National Bank, and a high au-
thority on banking matters, said:
Il hope the reports of the appointments
are true. They would be excellent men
for the positions"

What Europe must Face.

Think of this: There is not one
person in Europe-not one-not
many in this Eastern Hemisphere or
in the Western, on whom this war will
not lay an impost of some sort; whom
this war will not collect a toll of hun
ger, Of financial loss, of sorrow. Of
decreased employment, of agony, of
death! There is not one person in
Europe who will not be obliged to pay
something, sometime, somehow.
There can be no escape. The toll
must be collected. The people must
pay.
Kipling said: "Who dies if Britain
lives?" Fifty thousand die, perhaps,
or a hundre thousand or five hundred
thousand, or five hundred thousand.
Figures mean nothing. Men will die
until enough have died to end the
war. The question is: Who will live
that Britain, or Frrnce, or Belgium,
Germany, or Russia may live? l will
tell you. Some millions of men and
some millions of women and children
"a good many millions; and their
living will be made harder, and their
days darkened, and their lives
shrouded for generations, because of
this war. They will live-must live;
but they will live less plenteously
than they have lived. They will live
borne down by the crushing burden
of toll that they had no part in as
suming, and that they must struggle
to pay.-Samuel G. Blythe in the
Saturday Evening Post.
