PARLIAMENT OPENS;
MANY ARE ABSENT

London, Nov. IL. - King George
opened what probably will prove to be
purely war session of parliament.
No controversial political question
Will be delberated, but this does not
mean that entire harmony will pre-
vail, for the cabinet ministers Will be
asked some pertinent and uncomforta-
BILE questions about their conduct OF
various phases OF the war;
The most immediate business be-
fore the house of commons will be to
provide sinews of war in men and
money. The recruiting situation may
lead to some steps toward compulsory
service and the 100000, 5000 granted
in August, having been practically
spent, a further credit of like
amount probably will be proposed un.
der the special war loan act passed at
the last session.
One hundred and five Unionists
were missing from their seats, being
absent In various capacities in con-
nection with the war. while thirty
three Ministerialists are actually at
the front and many others are absent
ON government business.
The usual ceremony accompanied
the opening Of parliament, the king
making military progress through
the streets from Westminster palace.
But the customary color was lacking.
Instead of the brilliantly uniformed
household guards lining the streets
and forming the escort sober khaki
marked the military features of the
display.

TURNS MILLIONS

Northwest Reserve Bank
Opens Next Week:
TO INCREASE CIRCULATION

New Law Permits Reduction of Cash
Reserve to Fifteen Per Cent and
viii Release Upwards Of Forty Mil
lions of Dollars Now Held Up.
Minneapolis, Nov. 12.-Next Monday
more than $4,000, 900 will be released
in the Northwest when the Ninth Re-
gional Reserve bank opens for busi-
ness. United States Comptroller Of
Currency John s. Williams places the
amount at $43,000,000, but bankers say
this is too high. Business is expected
to be given great momentum.
The change is brought about by the
fact that national banks and banks
that are members of the federal re-
serve system will be allowed to re-
duce their legal reserve from 25 to Is
per cent. At the same time the banks
will be compelled TO send to the fed
eral reserve bank three-fifteenths OF
the Is per cent
At the end of eighteen months the
banks will have to ship one-fifteenth
more of their reserve to the regional
reserve bank and one-fifteenth every
six months until six-ffteenths are in
the vaults of the federal reserve bank.
After three years all of the reserve
must be held either in the regional re-
serve bank or the banks own vaults
Under the federal reserve act coun-
try banks will be allowed to reduce
their legal reserve to . per cent.

London, Nov. 12.-Coincldent with
the news from Petrograd that every
German soldier has been swept from
Russian soil comes a whisper of peace
negotiations In the report from the
Russian capital that Berlin has ap-
preached Russia with overtures look
ing toward a cessation of hostilities
There 10 no confirmation of this story
from Berlin and 1t may be in the
same class with the rumor sent out
from Paris three weeks ago that the
Germans had approached the French
with q view to ending hostilities be-
tween the two countries.
The German war machine has bat
tered its way into the Belgian town
of Dixmude The official French state
ment contains the admission that the
allies were forced to fall back from
this point of vantage in the great bat
tie for possession OF the eastern shore
of the British channel. AS an offset
the French war Office states that the
allies forces have advanced along the
North sea coast, pushing back the Ger.
mans and taking Lombaertzyde, a
small Belgian town few miles north
east of Nieuport
The warning nations await with
keen suspense the outcoms of the
struggle in Belgium, which for the
moment overshadows the conticts on
the many other fields of battle. From
no other point come reports of i'm.
portant changes in the situation.
