Frank F. Fletcher has cabled from
Vera Cruz a recommendation that ma.
rines be sent into Mexico City al once,
and that the navy department has un-
der consideration the sending of 1000
marines into that city. The matter
was under consideration at the state
department, but no decision has been
reached. The suggestion for marines
was predicated upon the imminance
of Intervention and not upon any

DUCKS FIND A SANCTUARY
Feathered Prey Fly From Hunters to
Protected Flats and
Shadows.

Portland. Me.-Three years ago the
Maine legislature passed a law pro-
hibiting the shooting Of game birds
on the fats and shallow waters Of the
Back bay in Portland harbor. or
course the birds were not notified Of
this action, and yet it has become so
well known among them that this year
acres and acres Of the flats are COW
cred with wild ducks, q sight unique
even in state where game is COM
mon.
One may fire upon them In lower
Casco bay, and a few days hunting
up to within year or two would
serve to scatter them to remain for
the season. But now they turn and
make directly for the Back bay,
which has become the rendezvous not
only for ducks but for thousands Of
sheldrake. teal. wild geese and other
sea fowl.
This offers an interesting theme for
contemplation, and in this age OF
friendly consideration for the wild
things of air and forest it almost sug-
gests an understanding Of the protec-
ton thai man is offering to the hum
bier creatures of the world.

ply OF the notes will be placed in his
custody.
Should a regional bank desire to
pay out more money than its cash re-
sources will permit, the law provides
that 1t may put some Of it's rediscount-
ed commercial paper into the hands
of the federal reserve agent" and re-
ceived in return the new treasury
notes.
For each note that it puts out into
circulation, the regional reserve bank
must set aside in gold 40 per cent. of
the value of the note as a guarantee
for its redemption. This gold, with
the commercial paper held by the
federal reserve agent" is the pro-
lection behind the new money; but
these notes will also be guaranteed by
the government and may be redeemed
in gold in the United States treasury
Reserve Required.
Each regional bank, under the act,
must keep a reserve of 35 per cent. OF
the deposits 1t has received, besides
the 40 per cent. gold reserve behind
the treasury notes it issues. If the
gold reserve behind the notes falls be-
low 40 per cent. heavy tax is i'm
posed on the bank, which in turn adds
the tax to the rate it charges member
banks for rediscounts. This was de-
signed to stop an over-expansion Of
currency. In times of sudden stress
the federal reserve board can suspend
these reserve provisions, in order to
furnish quick relief to any commu-
nifty.
Take Up Bonds.
None of the existing forms of cur
rency except the national bank notes
will be disturbed by the new law. The
United States bonds. now used to Sc
cure the issue of national bank notes,
are to be taken up at the rate of $685.
100000 a year by the regional re-
serve banks and new treasury notes
or short term three per cont bonds
will take their place. National bank
currency is expected gradually to re-
tire.
The federal reserve board will exer-
else final control over the entire OBJ
Grafton of the system. 1t can compel
one regional bank to loan to another
in time of need; can suspend all re-
strictions surroundings the reserves
which regional banks must hold, and
can remove directors Of regional re-
serve banks whenever II Is believed
necessary.
Banks in Control.
While the banks retain control of
the boards Of the regional reserve
banks. their connection with the fed
eral reserve board is only through
an advisory board is only though
an advisory council, made up of one
representative from each federal re-
serve district. This council will meet
in Washington to confer with the fed
eral reserve board ION general bust
ness conditions" and to make recon.
mendations and suggestions concern
ing discount rates, note issues, and re-
serve conditions.
An important change in national
banking methods embraced in the new
law will permit all national banks ex-
cept those in New York, Chicago and
81. Louis to make direct loans on five
year farm mortgages up to 25 per cent.
of their capita. and surplus. or I'D to
one-third of their time deposits.
