Richmond stands high In the list Of
Federal reserve banks in the matter of
stock.
This city leads Atlanta. st. Louis,
Minneapolis. Kansas City and Dallas,
and is quite close to San Francisco
and Boston. The amount received
and reported to the Federal Reserve
Board in Washington, as the first in
stallment, shows that $17,947.106 has
been paid in. distributed as follows:

More Than Required.
The controllers abstract of reports
of the condition of national banks
contains a table showing that on Sep
TENDER IL the national banks held cash
Of $40. 409,504 above the sum re-
|quired to put the new system into
operation. The controller estimates
that on the showing made at this call
the amount Of reserve which would
have been transferred to the Federal
Reserve banks was s243.262.709. the
total reserve required in vault $3s4.-
641.s06. and the reserve required
either in vault. or with Federal Re-
serve banks sS4.63S.4 ABA, a total Of
Is712,542, 949. The cash on hand for
cess of $3.50, 409,504.
On this compilation. the banks in
each Of the twelve reserve districts
show surplus over the cash required.
If all of the member banks heed the
boards request that cash for subscrip-
tions to the capital stock and for the
reserve fund be taken from their own
vaults the estimate will be realized.
On the other hand, IL the banks in the
country call on their correspondents
In the reserve cities, making 1t neces-
sary for them in turn. to draw ON the
central reserve cities, banks In the lat
OF cash.
Out of Own Vaults.
While the banks were not ordered to
contribute their quota out OF their
own vaults, the board expects that
this will be done in most cases. so
that the central reserve cities will not
be called upon to transfer an excessive
amount TO the new Federal Reserve
banks
Reports to the Federal Reserve
Board indicate that the new banking
system will go into operation a week
from Monday with very little con-
fusion. The short time allowed to the
boards In tho various cities TO bu,id
up a working organization has made
strenuous efforts necessary, but this
was characterized by one OF the gov
ernors today as a blessing in disguise
by bringing up for immediate decision
a number of points that would have
delayed the Inauguration of the new
sytem had the board waited until all
of the banks were ready before setting
date for the opening.

Taken to Presbytery.
The question as to the action which
the church will take. Is a live one.
and precipitated a fight In the last
meeting Of the Presbytery, when the
question was brought up at its meet
ing which was held at Crewe. several
weeks ago. 1t has long been felt by
certain members of Grace-Street
Church that they would be forced
to move on account OF the close prox-
unity Of the church to two others Of
the same denomination. which made
1t very hard to support three churches
within three or four squares of each
other. 1t was then proposed to move
out to the West End, and a loca-
ton near Westminster Presbyterian
Church was secured. Westminster at
once objected to this move. explain
ing that the moving of Grace-Street
Church within such snort distances
from Westminster would create the
same conditions which made II nee
essary for Grace-Street Church 10
move from its present location. Later
Gracc-Street Church sold its present
home. The matter was then referred
TO the Presbytery. then IN session at
Crewe. for settlement. The Presby-
terry decided to come to Richmond
to investigate the conditions before
deciding the question.
Has Sold Property.
In the meantime Grace-Street
Church has sold thu lot which they
secured In the West End and II seems
have agreed not TO build near West
minister Presbyterian Church. In or
der to reach a settlement II was pro-
posed at one time for the two
churches to amalyamate. Grace-Street
Presbyterian Church to move with
Westminster into their new home Mt
Davis and Park Avenues Because
Of some disagreement no settlement
could he reached. For this reason
Grace Street, which Is now without
a home. and without any settled plan
fer the building OF a new one. held a
meeting yesterday morning, the mat
ter going over until next Wednesday.

General Leonard Wood has super indence of the preparation of plans to invade Mexico. This is not neces- sarily a war measure, however. Gen eral staffs of every army are always at work figuring out exactly how they could seize upon some perfect ly friendly nations chief cities. But the plans for Mexico have recently been revised and enlarged minutely. Experts on Mexican roads and camp ing conditions have been consulted. Nothing has been left undone.
 Three Lines of Attack.
 There are to be three lines of at tack. The first, already initiated, is the movement from Vera Cruz to Mexico City, The second is the seiz- ure of Tampico and perhaps a, move ment from there to the capital. The third is a march from the north, probably through Fl Paso and Juarez down the route taken bv Villa, Ma dero, and numerous other conquer ors.
 The invasion from Vera Cruz will time. There are two lines of railroad rom vera CIuZ lO -NeAlco S'y, e.io Interoceanic of the National Rail- ways system and the Mexican Rail way. These branch away from the coast, the Interoceanic to the north and the Mexican further south, but in the mountains they converge and finally cross at San Marcos to come together again at the capital.
 The Interoceanic follows Scott's old line. For rocks, mountains, diff ficult passes and easily defended spots there is little choice between the two lines. The Interoceanic takes much the same route as the ancient highways. Perhaps for this reason it will appeal to the army tactlclans.
