foreign trade, which includes study OF
the elements Of foreign exchange, Is
subject far too complicated to be capable
of explanation in q short article. 1t may
be mentioned that American methods Tor
the financing Of foreign trade are in great
part cumbersome, and. to the degree tnat
we are dependent upon the credit OF Lon
don and Paris, unnaturally expensive.
This cumbersomeness and expense, &C
cordfng to the aim of the federal reserve
act, is to be relieved as far as possible by
the provision for American acceptances,
Of foreign branches Of American banks,
and by the authorization OF the reserve
banks to deal in exchange and gold
abroad and to rediscount acceptances.
The reserve banks are to be agencies
for the conservation and development OF
the country's gold supply. They will ex-
ercise a certain control of the expectation
Of this metal in their power. for the FIX
ing Of the discount rate. Hitherto the
United States has possessed practically
the only free gold market IN the entire
world. Any one has been able to pur-
chase gold without fear that artificial
check might be thrown in his way. Even
Great Britain, with her boasted free mar
ket, has her Bank Of England jealousy
guarding her stores Of gold. The reserve
banks are to follow, in this connection.
the best foreign practice, and by their
power to change the rate Of discount, to
buy gold abroad and to accumulate for
eign accounts they will work for the con-
servation and increase Of our gold sup
ply.

Bryan Declares U. S.
Will Continue to Be
Absolutely Neutral

| An appeal that the government of the
United States plead with Japan to refrain
from carrying the European war into the
far east was received by President Wilson
today from the National German-Ameri-
can Alliance. The President was thanked
for his offer Of mediation to the warning
nations Of Europe.
| Secretary Bryan refused to discuss the
Japanese =. situation with the German
charge, who called at the State Depart
ment. Charge Haimhausen said Secretary
, Bryan wished to remain absolutely neutral
in the whole affair. The United States
had received no representation from the
ikafser's government on this point, so far as
| Mr.. HaimhauBen could say.
| When questioned as to Germanys pos
sible attitude in the far east. Charge
| Haimhausen stated that although the for
of defending the German possessions from
large land force in all probability mil
| itary honor would require an attempt to
resist attack.
The petition and other appeals are re-
ceiving attention in official quarters, but
Ino announcement has yet been made as
/ to the governments course.
President Has Expressed No Opinion.
| Published reports to the effect that
the President had expressed himself as
satisfied with Japan's course have been
denied by Secretary Tumulty at the
direction of the President.
1.-The President feels, It incumbent on
himself" said Secretary Tumulty. 'as
the head of q neutral nation to ex-
press no opinions Whatsoever on the
| attitude of japan or any other coun-
try"
| Army strategists discussed among
| themselves whether Japan might not
also take tho German possessions in
| the Samoan and Caroline Islands, which
are on the American line Of communi-
eventually might affect the interests
| Pacific.
It was pointed out in Japanese cir
| cles that the ultimatum to Germany
! applies specifically to the German oc-
cupation of territory on the Asiatic
, mainland, nothing being said about the
German insular possession Austria
lasia. However. it was explained that
| in the event Of Germany's refusal to
meet the Japanese demands, and Of
| Japanese success In war, the condi-
| tions imposed upon Germany might be
extended SO as to include the cession
| to Japan and to her ally, Great Britain,
| of all these island groups gathered In
| by Germany during the past quarter
| of a century.
Germany's Suggestion Recalled.
Germany recently haA tried to indi-
cate to the United States government

THE new BANKING LAW
XV.-International Aspects.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

The European war makes the interna-
tional aspects of the new banking law
Of supreme Importance. If America is to
markets now abandoned by the warning
nations of Europe. it must provide some
means Of banking abroad. Under old
laws this was impossible.
The new law provides for foreign ac-
ceptances, and looks toward the regula-
tion Of the domestic gold supply. 1t. also,
provides that ''any national banking as
sociation possessing capital and surplus
Of 81 ,OOO,O0 or more" may apply to the
federal reserve board for authority to es-
tablish branches In foreign countries.
Several applications for such foreign
branches are already awaiting the deci-
sion Of the board. Further. the federal
reserve banks are authorized to main
tain agencies abroad for the purpose of
buying and selling bills Of exchange and
dealing in gold.
A number of advantages are expected
to be secured to this country by the
above outlined provisions. The provision
that "any member bank may accept drafts
or bills Of exchange drawn upon it and
Importation or expectation Of goods hav-
ing not more than six months sight to
rup." Is expected to be OF powerful as
sistance to American merchants in dcvel-
oping their foreign trade. 1t will likely
bring a great share Of International brok-
erage business to the United States. More
over, 1t will enable American business
men to finance their foreign operations
direct. and. SO. remove one of the causes
for the hesitancy of the smaller manufac-
turers of the country in seeking foreign
customers. The establishment Of foreign
branches by the American banks will aid
in the same way.

RIVERS AND HARBORS
BILL WILL Be PASSED
Definite Assurance That Congress
Will Act Before Adjourn

Definite assurance that Congress would
remain in session until the rivers and
harbors appropriation bill had been dis
posed Of was given on the floor Of the
Senate today by Senator Kern Of Indi-
ana. the democratic leader.
Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania
brought about the announcement. He
said he had received many kilograms
bors bill before adjournment and that
he was convinced 1t would be a mistake
not to make provision for the many
needed improvements now under. way.
He asked Senator Kern direct ques-
regarding the bill.
"The majority some time ago deter
mined definitely that the rivers and har-
bors bill should be disposed Of before ad-
know of no change In the plan since
that announcement"
Borah Raps Penrose on Attendance.
Senator Penrose said he was glad to
hear that. the democrats intended to act
on the bill He was interrupted by Sem
helped in the fiiibuster against the
rivers and harbors bill several weeks
ago: ,, -
hurriedly," he said, "and the senator
and help discuss it.
II hope the senator from Idaho does
not contemplate any murderouss assault
upon the Delaware and Ohio rivers"
said Senator Penrose. He added that he
expected the bill would be amended in
the Senate, but that he was merely
anxious to have some measure passed
at the present session.
Senator Kern said the democrats were
not pledged to the bill as reported to
the Senate, but merely to act upon Q
rivers and harbors bill before adjourn
