WEATHER B0THERS M
Battle In Flanders Almost at a Stand
still on Account of Heavy Rains
and Wind.

London.-The battle Of Flanders,
man attempt to advance to Dunkirk
and Calais, on the northern coast Of
France, commenced just four weeks
ago and, despite terrific fighting and
the sacrifice Of thousands of lives, the
two armies still hold virtually the
same positions as when the first shot
was fired.
After taking Antwerp and Ostend,
the German forces proceeded with lit
tie or no opposition as far as Nieuw-
port, on the User canal. Here they
found against them the REINFORCED
fire from British monitors, and they
were unable to make progress. Floods
then completed the discontinue of the
invaders and they commenced an ef-
fort to break through the allied line
between Dixmude and Ypres.
The Germans have had one or two
minor-sometimes only temporary
successes, such as the crossing Of the
canal and the capture OF Dixmude, but
now, according to official and other
reports. while they hold a part of Dix
nude, they are back on the east side
Of the canal and again have slackened
their attacks.
The weather, which has been very
stormy, with heavy rains, says the
statement of the German general army
headquarters, has disturbed their oper-
atoms. This may well be true, for
people who have arrived from across
the English channel during the past
few days say a high wind has been
driving the rain across open space
filling the trenches and making it next
to impossible for the men to protect
themselves.
In spite Of the unfavorable condi-
tions, both sides have been making
charges and both claim to have met
with some ucces The Germans again
report the capture of a number of pris-
oners and also that they have repulsed
the British and French attacks.

WINTER CAUSES HARDSHIPS
Russians March Through Snow in
Sheepskin Jackets-Trenches
Swept by Billiards.

London.-No important events were
written into the history of the war as
far as great events are concerned.
Winter has partly paraly2e d troop
movements both in the east and the
west.
The Russians on the border OF East
Prussia are reported marching through
snow, clad in sheepskin jackets SINH
lar to those the Japanese first wore
in Manchuria. Billiards have swept
trenches in Belgium and Northern
France, bringing great suffering. A
large area of West Flanders around
Dixmude has been flooded by the
heavy rains and is no mans land for
fighting.

SIGNING OF FORMAL ORDER BY
McADOO LAST STEP IN ACT.
TIME DEPOSITS DEFINED.
FIELD WILL BE WIDENED
Board Considering Plans for lncreas-
ing Store Of cash-Huse Sum
Now on Deposit in Banks by
Government Transferred.

Wahington.-The IL federal reserve
banks established by the new banking
law have been opened. The only bust
ness undertaken by them at the start
was to receive the reserve deposits Of
the member banks and applications
for r~ediscounts. No actual ~rediscounts
were reported In any district save that
Of New York. There one transaction
was made, amounting to $4,000, 900.
In several Of the districts payments
on account Of reserves we're small be-
cause notices were not sent out until
late. and the only deposits made were
volunteered by some Of the members
In advance Of such notices.
In those districts like New York,
where large sums were received, the
total will be considerably swelted
when the banks outside Of the cities
where the reserve banks are located
have had time to ship their money.
The board may not be willing to
draw definite plans from one days
business, but the first week may have
q material effect and may result in
%augmenting the cash Of the banks by
more than $3.50. 900, 900. The board
has under consideration the deposit Of
a large part Of the loose cash now in
the treasury and the transfer Of most
of the government funds now depos-
tied In national banks. II the first
weeks rediscount bushes SHOWS that
the reserve banks can use more cash,
the board probably will suggest the
adoption of this plan. 1t has been re-
ported to the board that there is about
$4,000, 900 in the treasury available
for this purpose and that about ts54,-
100000 of the s79, zoo, 900 now in banks
on deposit for the government could
be transferred.
The board made public a circular
defining time deposits as including
any deposit subject to check on which
the bank has the right by written con
tract with the depositor at the time of
deposit to require not less than 80
days notice before any part of it may
be with drawn. Any agreement with
a depositor not to enforce the terms
OF such a contract shall vitiate the con-
tract.

Chicago. ILL.,, Feb. miss Florence
Lawler, Brooklyn high school girl, who
ran away because her parents wouldn't
let her study to become a doctor,
probably accomplished her purpose.
After her temporary guardian, Miss
Wilhelmina Barr, secretary Of the
travellers association of the y. w. c..
A, had talked to the girls mother over
the long distance telephone, she said
she understood the medical education
would be permitted.
Shortly afterward the girls uncle,
B. r. Hedges of Columbus, o., ar
rived for the girl According to Miss
Barr. he was "as happy as a child
to find her. She was just as glad to
see him. They Immediately prepared
to leave Chicago and took a Pennsyl-
vania train shortly after 1 O'Clock.
Mrs. Lawler, mother of the girl, will
meet her in Columbus and take her to
Brooklyn.
81 believe the girl will get what she
wants." Miss Barr said. 81 have talked
to her mother over the telephone and
she told me she did not realize the
girl was so serious in her requests for
a medical education. The parents
had decided that Florence ought to
go to normal school and train to be-
come a teacher. She was unwilling to
do it. She was so serious in her plans
for her future that she ran away
rather than submit to a career that
was not pleasing to her"
Miss Barr was responsible for the
identification of Miss Lawlor. The girl
gave the name of her uncle as a ref
erence in case of death or accident.
Miss Barr wrote to him Immediately
and he got the Y. W. C. 4. on the tele-
phone at once, identifying the girl as
his niece.
