MONEY 10 PAY EXPENSES OF
 RESERVE BANKS
Levy of Four-Tenths of One Per Cent Against Banks Announced by Secre-
 tary Willis

Washington, November 2.-The federal reserve board today announced a plan to remedy a slight defect in the new cur rency act and to provide for payments of it's members salaries. Through Secretary Willis it announced levy of four-tenths of l per cent against the federal reserve hanks for the purpose of defraylng ex- penses for the first half year of its exist ence
 The law gave the organization commis- sion which preceded the board in prelimi- nary work slo0,O00 to spend but Congress did not contemplate then that the banks would not be in opeation for nearly Il months after its passage. The expenses of the board and it's assistants are by law to be paid by the banks. and officials hoped that they would be in operation long before salary checks were needed here.
 The s10O,0 900 has been spent, however and the levy was found to be necessary.
 Secretary Willis announced that the ex- pense includes an estimated charge of s200,00O for dies and the preparation of federal reserve notes. This item in the future is expected to be much smaller The actual cost of maintaining the board has not been finally estimated.
 Reserve banks are to pay one-third of the assessment immediately, third with in 30 days, and the rest within GO Gays. The basis used for the levy Is the capital stock allotted to the applying member banks at it's face value, or about s110,000

SPAIN WILL HELP BELGIAN SUFFERERS

London, November 2.-The Spanish gov ernment has instituted a Belgian relief fund in Spain to be administered by the London committee. Other governments have signified an intention to concentrate the food relief for Belgium in the neu- tIal committee.
 The commission today received the fol lowing statement from Brand Whitlock American minister at Brussels:
 The civil population of Belgium faces starvation. Within two weeks there will be no food in Belgium. Winter is coming and thousands are without homes or hope. It Is necessary to expand relief work to the whole of Belgium. We have obtained from the German military au- thorities assurances that foodstuffs taken into Belgium by the commission for the civil population will be respected by the soldiery anl not made the object of mil. titary requisition.
 'k Not money. but food, is needed If means be found to call the attention (of the American people to the plight of the Belgians, I am sure they will send succor and relief. It seems to me to be a work of mercy that will touch the hearts of those brought to understand It will give our people in the United States an opportunity to serve nobly in q high cause.'

CONSERVATIVES OF
 TURKISH CABINET
 WOULD AVERT WAR
Seek Neutral Diplomats Re- garding Apology to Triple Entente-Believed to
 Be Too Late

Washington. November 2.---Turkey,s apology through the grand vixicr "for recent events in the Binck ses.- an- nounced today at London. was n sequel to events which Ambassador Morgan thnu reported today In confidential cipher messages to the state depsrt- ment. It was accepted here as indi- eating clearly that conservative mem- bers of the ottoman cabinet purpose to nvert war with the triple entente.
 Mir Morganthau cabled under date of D. m Saturday that shortly after the Rus- sian ambassador demanded his passports the Turkish minister of agriculture called on certain neural diplomat and asked him to go to the Russian envoy to ascer tain if an apology by Turkey for the bon.-- tardnent or Russian ports in the Back sea would be accepted and would pacify Russia. The neutral diplomat saw tho Russian ambassador who said that hls ii structions to leave Constantinople were absolute, but that when all German sail ors soldiers and officers we're dismissed summarily from the Turkish army and
 
 their departure from Turkey he would return and resume diplomatic relations with the Ottoman empire.
 Ask Regarding Apology
 Later in the oay the Turkish minister of agriculture called on the same neutral diplomat to learn if an apology would ba accepted by the Russian government. The gal French and British ambassadors left at z ?. m. Saturday on speeial arranged by the Amerean ambassador.
 Although details Of the Turkish apology reported from London had not reucned here officials and diplomats convel sant with tho situation dld not believe the triple entente would be satisfied with tho written apology unless accompanied by the dism,ssal ot German officers ana sail CTS and soldiers and perhaps the dismant- ling of the Goeben ana lSresleau, former German cruisers. now menacng com merce of the allies in the Black sea.
 The ministers of finance, interior and agriculture are endeavoring to keep Tur- key at peace with the entente. but the ministers of war and navy are said to have strongly favored striking for Ger many.

 The American ambassador Is making ar- iangements for panic-strieken Americans to leave Turkey by speclal train to Greece.

Washington, November 2.-(Spe- cial.)--On the outcome of tomorrow's s national election throughout the land hang two important points: the can- didacy of President Wilson for sec and term and the calling of a special session of Congress this month. Such was disclosure made today by men 'on the inside" in democratic politics.
 Should the republicans by any chance overturn tEe present democratic major ity and obtain control of Congress, it IS understood that the Presidents friends will not press his renomination. Con- tinuance of democratic majority oi even half hundred in the House will he taken as endorsement in 'ungrudging measure,'' and a campaign for a second term for Wilson soon will be set under

MAY SUMMON SPECIAL SESSION

On the same line shrinkage of the dem ocratic majority to small margin fin the House will lead the President to summon Congress in special session this month, SC that all his leading policies may be enacted into laws beyond peradventure of defeat by the next Congress. Should any thing of importance be left on the slate hy March 1. With a good working ma Jority assured. however. Congress will be allowed to rest till December
 President Wilson tonight was serenely confident over the outcome tomorrow and is not worried about either the Seventh district of Alabama or the Third district of Louisiana, both of which, he feels sure, will give more than satisfactory democratic majorities C. E. s.
