licemen under Sergeant Carey were
rushed to the hospital from the Fifth

AS AID TO BANKS
Secretary McAdoo Announces
Treasury Is Prepared to Meet
Any Emergency.

WASHINGTON, July S1.-Secretary
saying the treasury department will
help as far as ut legitimately may
in New York or elsewhere during the
present situation.
Secretary McAdoo said: I'VE are
keping in close touch with the situa-
ton. The treasury department will
help, as far as it legitimately may, in
New York or in any other part of
the country where it becomes ap-
parent that assistance is needed
"The Aldrich- Vreeland act, as
amended by the Federal reserve act,
is still in force, and the terms upon
which currency may be issued under
that act are now SO favorable that
resort may be made quickly and eff
fectively to 1t to meet any emer-
gency. 1t must be remembered that
there is in The treasury, printed and
ready for ssslie. $500 100000 of cur
rency, which the banks can get upon
application under that law. This is
in addition to the resources of the
treasury.
"In view of the closing of the for
eign stock exchanges. the. action Of
the New York stock exchange, of
which | have just learned, in closing
temporarily, is q reasonable measure
of protection to American interests" !"
President Wilson also turned his
attention to the financial situation.
Before breakfast he conferred with
Secretary McAdoo. 1t was announced
at the White House that every effort
would be made for organizing the
Federal reserve board and putting the
new reserve system in operation.
Relief measures contemplated in
clude depositing funds in banks in
Chicago, New York, and Philadelphia
and other cities.
The President planned to send to
the Senate today or tomorrow the
nomination of man in place of
Thomas ID. Jones, and efforts were
begun to find out definitely just what
Paul M. Warburg expects to do with
regard to his nomination. The Presi-
dent believes it necessary for the new
system to be put in operation at once,
and legal experts of the treasury have
informed Secretary McAdoo that it
would be impossible to organize it
until all members of the boards have
been confirmed.
Mr.. Wilson let it be known that he
approved of the closing of the New
York stock exchange as a precaution-
airy measure. Secretary Tumulty was
summoned back from New Jersey by
the President. who planned to give up
his weekend recreation and remain
AZ the White House in constant touch
with the situation in this country

The chief reason for the unprece-
dented action of the London Stock
Exchange committee was the fact
that the system of credit had prac-
tically broken down, and it was inn
possible to carry on business in the

LONDON. July 3f-Censorship on
news franz NianBa was tightened to-

that all reports were conflicting.
Vienna specials persist that Bel
grade has been occupied by the AUS
trians. Dispatches from Nish assert
that invasion by Austrian troops has
been repulsed at all pionts.
Vienna emphasizes the strength Of
Servian resistance. Nish in turn en-
phasizes the power of the Austrian

The government censors on each
side appear to be playing to the
diplomats, pending the German-Rus-
