GREEN ASSAULTED
 BY UNKNOWN MAN
Aged Peddler Is Knocked Down and Beaten at Third
 and Twentieth

Charles Green, an aged basket ped Gler. who lives in Eas: Thomas, was beaten over the head in front of the Traders National bank at Third avenue and Twentieth street at s:so o'clock last night by an unknown white man who escaped.
 Accounts of the affair are that MT Green was suddenly accosted by the unknown man and struck over the head with a blunt instrument said to kaye been an iron bolt and that as he lay on the sidewalk he was kicked several times in the ribs and face. Fol- lowing this the assailant walked away and was lost In the rapidly gathering crowd
 As Green was unconscious Johns ann hulance was summoned and he was removed to the Hillman hospital, where it was stated that he had a bad scalp wound and painful bruises but was not sorously injured.
 Detective Frank C. Macke, who was detailed to investigate the affair, stated that it was caused by Green and tho unknown man, who escaped colliGing at the corner. Officer Macke stated that the unknown lost his temper and knocked down the basket peddler and then kicked him. The detective denied that an iron bolt had been used or hat Green had been held up at the corner ana robbed, as it was at first stated.
 Ralph Usrey of the Johns company stated: "We got the call and went to Third avenue and Twentieth street and everybody around told us that Green had been knocked on the head with an iron bolt. One man had the bolt in his hand"

Fire in a waste room at the Southern hotel at o'clock last night caused about s50o damage before 1t was extinguished

 Today's statement gave only the grand totals. since it was impossible to make comparison with any previous week. The huge aggregate reserves and excess cash reserves were occasioned largely by q reduction in reserve requirements from 25 to IS per cent as permitted under the new law.

Embassy Issues Statement

Washington. November 21.-Abdul Hak Russein Bey, charge of the Tur- kish embassy here, issued this state ment:
 . q am glad to hear that definite news has been received from Constan- tinople to the effect that the firing on the launch of the Tennessee by the au- thorities at Smyrna was merely warn- irg that the entrance to the harbor was dangerous owing to the existence of mines. Although tho embassy has been without information, I held the opinion from the outset that the firing WAS simply precautionary measure spd not the outcome of any hostile in tent on the part of the Turkish author ities. This Is as 1t should be.
 "The most cordial relations have all ways existed between the two govern ments and 1t Is the desire of both the Ottoman government and people that such relations always should be main- ta.ned.
 q should like to repudiate state nierts which recently appeared in the rress insinuating that censorship on the part of the Ottoman authorities Was the cause of the unnecessary de- lay in the exchange of cablegrams be- tween Turkey and the United States. This is not so. This embassy even has noI received single cablegram since close upon a month"

notes to meet it's needs. The relatively small amount of rediscounts as compared with the resources of the system is due to the policy of the federal reserve board In encouraging the payment of reserve de- posits in actual money instead of in re- discounted paper. Rates of rediscount es- tablished a week ago were fixed with this policy in mind. Reports from all dis tricts are of the most encouraging na- ture and the outlook for business is stated as satisfactory.
 "The establishment of the system has already had an important effect in in creasing the lending power of the local banks in addition to the loan power of the federal reserve banks.

TURKEY EXPLAINS SMYRNA INCIDENT;
 SITUATION CLEARED
 OF COMPLICATIONS
,Continued from Page one)

such an arrangement was not made in
 the case of the Tennessee's launch.
 That smyrna presents almost a special
 case as apart from the entire situation
 in Turkey, is the belief of officials famil-
 far with the trend of previous dispatches.
 The American colony of 50 has been re-
 ported as panicky ever since last May.
 Frequently before Turkey entered the war
 the American consul was anxious for the
 safety of his consulate and Americans
 Ambassador Morgenthau once asked for
 warships Since then conditions were re-
 ported as improved
 While the Washington government does
 not anticipate difficulty over conditions
 at smyrna 1t may indicate clearly to
 Turkey an urgent desire for protection of
 Americans so that 1t will not be neces- sary to send American vessels. This guar
 antee. it is believed, may be extended to
 Americans in all parts of Turkey and
 Asia Minor.
 Petrograd, November 2l.-The Russian advance into the Mazuran lake region of Eastern Prussia, near Johannisburg and Arys, has revealed the extent of German preparations to resist invasion. The whole region Is described as a gigantic fortress, faclng 10 the east ana Souti In the form of 90-inile semicircle Spaces between the lakes, which range from marshy ponds to bodies of water 10 miles long, are entrenched with wire fences. At intervals there are earthen re- doubts enforced with stone work and protected by mine fields. Wherever prac- ticable, canals have been dug in front of the trenches.
 At Arys the Russians have been com
 pelled to storm concrete bnoclS houses,
 resulting in heavy loss of life.
 Improved conditions fin Galicia are in- dicated by the fact that rail communica-
 ton between I>ieve and Lemberg was re-
 established yesterday.
 Reports from Caucasia say the Russian advance into Turkey is proceeding with out serious resistance, although the invad- CTS are under fire from Turkish light ar tillery located on the hilltops. There practically are no roads In the region and the Russians move their guns and SUD- ply wagons through the mountain passes by hand
 Turkish villages through which the Rus sians have passed are deserted and stripped of provisions. Only in the Ar
 menian villages have any supplies been found.
 In Galicia the Russians are surrounding Cracow along a circular front about 2t miles from the town. Heavy fighting is reported north of the city.

Desire Explanation

this nation has a stock of that metal three | times as large as that in the -iank of England.
 Desire Explanation The point on which the English bank CTS are believed to desire a personal ex- planation from Sir George is the creation of a $i00 OO0,0 GOO credit fund by the Bank of England 10 protect American securi- ties which may be sold on the reopening of the London exchange. Such a fund is said to have looked to London flnan- ciers like an additional load for shoulders already overburdeaed.
 Some officials here feel that Sir George
 and Mir. BlaclSett will use all possible
 arguments to have the plans indorsed by
 their government and by English bankers.
 Whatever may be the ultimate result,
 however, the negotiations probably will
 be suspended for sometime. Further rep
 resentations probably will be made
 through the British ambassador
 There was a belief in some quarters here
 tonight that the fact that London bank
 CTS were not wholly pleased with the
 plans proposed had been known in New
 York, and that the promised reopening to
 a limited degree of the New York ex-
 change was delayed on this account. McAdoO's Statement Announcing the departure of Sir George,
 Secretary McAdoo gave out this state- ment.
 "Sir George Paish has just informed me that he has received a cable from England saying suggestions submitted by
 the committee of New York bankers are under consideration by London bankers. but as some points are not clear the chancellor of the exchequer has requested Sir George and MT. BlaclSett to return | to England to explain the situation more | fully. They expect to sail, therefore, within the next few days. Tt is thought inadvisable to publish ! the recommendations of the New York bankers until the London bankers have considered them fully and acted upon them

It was the custom amongst Jewish women to wear on the forehead fringe of coins. These might be of gold or silver and sometimes represented their dowry. The loss of one of these coins represented more than it's intrinsic value; for its ab- sence marred the beauty of the bangles.
 The search for the lost coin meant that, instead of being abandoned as not worthy of consideration, it would be sought until found. The female neighbors would hear that it was found, and would rejoice greatly. This Is another illustration of joy in the presence of the angels of God over one repentant sinner.

The driver of the hack testified he did not know Pallotta was on the step, and under the circumstances his contention that the hack had no right to turn to the left when it met wagon, had no weight.
