RESERVE BANKS ARE
OPEN FOR BUSINESS
New System is Expected to
Prevent PanicS

Washington, Nov. 16.-Mark1ng q
new era in the financial history of the
United States, twelve federal reserve
banks of the new currency system
opened their doors today.
1t is the belief of the authorities
that the new banking system will in
still confidence in business and have
large influence in restoring good
times.
The new system permits the ex-
pansion and contraction Of the money
supply of the country in keeping with
the actual needs of business, whereas
the old system maintained the same
amount of the circulating medium for
all seasons and all financial situa-
lions.
Summarized, the effect Of the newly
organized system, according to Off
Gals in Washington, will be to pre-
vent panics.
The operations of the banks at the
outset will be limited to the follow
ing:
l. Acceptance Of deposits OF re-
serves, payable in lawful money.
2. Discounting of bills of exchange
and commercial paper.
8. Acceptance of deposits of checks
drawn by member banks on any fed
eral reserve banks or member banks
in reserve and central reserve cities
within their respective districts.

nine years old, and Anthona Kanaza,
aged nine months, children of Noah
Kanaza, and Andrew Organ, thirty.

BELCIANS NEAR
STARVATION POINT
American Relief Supplies Far
From Enough

London, Nov. 16. - Captain T. f.
Lucey, who has been active in the
distribution of American relief IN
Belgium, has sent message to the
headquarters of the American relief
committee in London, saying that the
supplies SO far available are entirely
insufficient to meet the Immediate
and urgent needs of the Belgian peo-
pie, and requests further assistance.
The American consul at Antwerp
has written letter to Henry Van
Dyke, American minister at The
Hague, in which he described the sit
uation as follows:
1T seems that Belgium will have
to face the danger of famine much
earlier than any of us thought. l have
been called upon by the mayor of st.
Nicholas, imploring me to hasten, II
possible, such help as the American
people could and would render, as
they had more than 10000 people
without bread and without work In
this little town and no means of pro
viding for them.
IAN equally strong appeal has come
from the mayor of the stricken city
of Malines, and 1 learn that down in
the coal district, near Charleroi, a
number of poor people, maddened by
hunger, attacked a German military
train laden with provisions"

Jail did Barcus come down to earth.
He demonstrated his return to COM
mon sense by making round break
fast in Grand Central station before
looking up the residence Of Digby Tn
the telephone directory.
The information he gathered from
the voice that answered the name OF
Mr.. Digby over the telephone shook
only momentarily Barcus' innate con-
viction that intimate acquaintance
with battle, murder and sudden death
was the inevitable reward of associa-
ton with this friend Of his heart.
"Alan being married to Rose Urine

he breathed skeptically as he emerged

monia In Belgium.
London, Nov. 16. - Field Marshal
Lord Roberts, the idolized "Bobs" OF
England, Is dead at the front in
France, and all Great Britain Is in
mourning.
Lord Roberts died as he probably
would have wished-close to the
trenches where his fighting men OF
India were engaged with the enemy.
The cold, wet weather hanging over
flooded Flanders brought about his
death, for at his age he was unable
to stand the rigors of the climate,
and contracted pneumonia.
All the word which came to Eng.
land from the front of the death OF
Lord Roberts was the bare announce.
ment from Field Marshal French.
which read:
81 deeply regret to tell you that
Lord Roberts died at eight O'Clock
this morning"
Lord Roberts was eighty-two years
old He had gone to France to see
the Indian troops and had expected
to remain only short time. He was
the colonel in chief of the native
troops. On Thursday he was in the
trenches with them and contracted a
cold. Pneumonia developed and he
quickly succumbed.

Petrograd, Nov. &c. - RuSsla'S al
vance on Cracow is believed to be en-
dangered by movement of the Ger
mans at Thorn.
German troops, taking advantage OF
the small Russian force in that Vlcln-
ity, are massing for the purpose, IL Is
understood, of making flank move
ment against the victorious Russian
army advancing on Cracow, the last
stronghold in the province of Galicia
to remain, with the exception OF Pre-
mysl.
II is believed that the Russians
have taken possession of the outer
forts of Cracow, but no confirmation
of a report which has been received
to that effect has been obtalnabie.
Two days ago it was reported that the
advance guard had been engaged with
the defenders of the outposts.
The great activity of the Germans
near Thorn and the massing of troops
there can be interpreted in only two
ways by the Russians. Either Ger
many is preparing for another 1nva'
sion of Poland, which is regarded as
unlikely, or else a flank movement
against the Russians moving on to
Cracow is to be made.
According to advices received In
Petrograd news of the activity OF the
Germans has been conveyed to the
commander of the Cracow force and
also to the Russian armies moving
along the Vistula river. If flank
movement is attempted 1t seems GER
| tain now that it will be met.
That the Russians have made great.
er gains in Galicia than the general
staff has seen fit to announce Is
shown in a dispatch from London to
| the effect that Berlin admits that the
Russians have occupied Tarnow,
Jasle and Krosno. Twenty-four hours
| ago the Austrians admitted their oc.
cupation, but so far the Russian gen
eral staff has announced that only
| Tarnow has been seized.
Reports conflict regarding the Aus
| trian force which is defending era
COW. One report states that General
Dankl has broken with the Germans
| and is now in complete charge of the
Galicia campaign, while another is to
| the effect that two German officers
are in command of the Austrians a,

Military experts declare that the
German cavalry operating in Thorn
is composed mostly of troops thor
oughly seasoned in the fighting in Bel
GUM. On the other hand, an Officer
who has returned to Petrofrad from

the report that the Germans are send
ing whole companies of infantry al

The neriod of restraint in durance

waterfront at half-past four In the
morning, proved In the upshot far
more brief than had been fondly
hoped, not only by his just judge, but,
singularly enough, by the m:sdemean-
ant himself.
Taking everything gravely into con-
sideration, including a person any
thing but prepossessing. the judge
reckoned that, in default OF hne OF
one hundred dollars, a ten-day layup
for repairs and repentance was not too
much to mete out to the prisoner at
the bar.
He was sentenced at 10 a. m. and 1t
was little short of 10 p. m. when his
post-prandial repose was disturbed by

"This is what Mr.. Digby says" the
judge interrupted, laboriously de

release of one Thomas Barcus, prob

THE JEFFERSONIAN

This decision is a fine sample Of how mill
honaire corporations stretch the law until il
insults common sense.
The Sherman law says plainly that all
Trusts are illegal and criminal; but when the
Jesuit, Edward White, became Chief Justice,
and had two Catholic Associates on the
bench, he persuaded Joe Lamar of Geo~zg11a
to join the three Rorosrists IN deciding il that
the 10 10 W ;ii,aIr, Unreasonable Trusts
According to the ,Jesuitical casuistry Of
that decision, no rape that man committed
on woman would be unlawful, unless it was
also unreasonable.
Rational larceny could not be penalized
under that decision.
A man might burn your dwelling at night,
but unless he were unreasonable about it,
there would be no crime.
Just such decisions as those have caused
the nationwide conviction that our courts
and our laws can only punish the weak.
There is one law for the rich, and quite
another for the poor.
