Schenectady, y. Y.-Frank Kepler,

this is what he learned:
That his heart is on the right side

on the left side instead of his right,
and that all the rest of mis- vital organs
are mixed up as though someone had
stirred him up with porridge spoon.

In this weeks statement report is
made for the first time of the net
amount of Federal reserve notes in
circulation" il is said in the Federal
Reserve Boards statement. THE item
differs from that reported under the
same heading last week because it
shows the net liability of Federal re-
serve banks after deducting from the
gross amount in circulation the
amount in gold or other lawful money
deposited by reserve banks with Fed
eral reserve agents to retire outstand-
ing notes. A memorandum is shown
on the statement indicating the differ
ence between the gross and net
amounts of notes in circulation. The
increase during the past week in Fed
eral reserve notes in circulation is 81
405 900, but the next increase in bank
liability in such notes is only 1880
900, owing TO the depositing Of lawful

Black Innings Used.

II is interesting to note that black
satin Innings are being introduced on
many of the new tailored models-on
almost all the smart coats made Of
navy cloth or serge. and also on coats
in light colors. There is something
very attractive about black satin
lining in a serge suit of the classic
order. Such a lining supplies the lit.
tie mannish touch which makes the
suit original and a thing apart from
the ready-made costumes which are to
be found in the stores. A little while

CLAIM STATE LAW
VIOLATES TREATY
Italy Joins Great Britain in
Protest to United States.
ARIZONA is THE OFFENDER
Ambassador CeIIere, Of Italy, Closely
Follows the British Ambassador
In Officially Notifying the
Government.

Washington, D. C.-Italy joined
Great Britain in her protest against
the Arizona State law which the
nations claim violates treaties in the
respect that it discriminates against
their subjects in the United States.
The protest of the Italian govern
ment was fled by Count Macchi Gel
lere, its ambassador Soon thereafter
Secretary Bryan went to the White
House and had long conference with
President Wilson. On the return of
Secretary Bryan TO the State Depart
ment he found awaiting him Baron
Chinda, the japanese Ambassador.
Secretary Bryan refused to discuss
either the conference at the White
House or his conference with the
japanese Ambassador All of the State
Department officials are now maintain
ing similar silence on this import
ant issue. The japanese Ambassador
on leaving the State Department would
say only that there were subjects of
Japan in America" but would not
admit that any new protest against
that States discriminatory law had
been made by Japan.
May Cause Trouble.
Most of the officials believe that
the present situation created by
Japan. her ally, Great Britain, and
Italy has in it all OF the elements of
q grave trouble if the protests are
pressed to the point of getting an
early answer from the United States.
What the nations are endeavoring to
get from the United States is a
declaration as to how far the Federal
government is responsible for the acts
, of Arizona
The attitude of Italy was explained
TO be similar to that which she main
tanned in the celebrated Italian lynch
ing cases. That became so acute at
one time that State Department Off
Gals regarded it as almost imperative
that statute should be passed where
by the Federal government should as
sumo responsibility which it could not
, then or now do without interfering
with the rights of the State. Italy at
that time. through Baron Fava, then
minister to the United States, took
the ground that, as she could not deal
directly with State Of the Union, she
would hold the Federal Government
responsible in the lynching cases.
1t is limited very broadly that Eng
land. Japan and Italy are now taking
that same ground and that the United
States is expected to make final
answer. What the response will be
cannot even be foreshadowed today.
The issue is the same as that involved
in the protest Of Japan to the United
States in the California alien land law
matter.
