May Not Oben
Reserve Banks
Until Nov. 80
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.


Washington, Oct. 21.-The directors
serve banks here today refused by two
votes to support Secretary McAdoos S
plan to open the new system for bust
ness on November 16. They recon-
mended that the opening be set for
November 80. This action is not bind
ing on the reserve board or on Secre-
tary McAdoo, for the currency act
gives the secretary authority to open
the banks when he believes they are
ready for business. Southern bankers
are anxious for early opening on ac-
count Of the assistance the federal
banks might give in taking care of the
cotton crop.
1t is evident tonight the members
Of the board are not pleased with the
banks recommendation. 1t is possible
a meeting of the board within the next
few days will develop sufficient SEN
timent to bring q vote asking Sec
retaryA McAdoo to name date earlier
than November 80. The argument
against opening on the 18th was that
it is physically impossible for the di-
rectors to get ready. In several in
stances the directors have not yet
chosen their governors and in many
cases the quarters are not yet selected.
The board already has voted to open
all the banks at the same time, but
if it is impossible the decision will
be changed if any special reasons are
discovered to make the opening of part
Of the banks before rest desirable.

Resistance OF
Germans Given

London, Oct 21.-The Star has pub
iished a dispatch explaining the des-
perate resistance Of the Germans in
tie vicinity of Roye and ATTas. The
enemy has taken possession, this dis
patch declares, of the huge excavations
of the Grand canal, Du Nord now in
the course of construction. It is sixty
miles long so deep that the Germans
are able to move through it large
bodies of troops sheltered from fire
When 1t is remembered that this
canal passes Lassigay, Roye, Nesle
and Raisel, it is easy to understand
the violent fighting In these districts.

Seizure of the American
Steamer John D. Rock
fe11er Not Warranted, as
She Carried No Contra

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Oct. 21.-The United
States has protested to Great Britain
against the seizure by a British war
ship of the American tank steamer
"John D. Rockefeller" This was an
nounced today by Acting Secretary
Lansing of the state department.
AS the Rockefeller was American
owned, flew the American flag and no
change of registry was involved, the
tAmerican government considers the
seizure unwarranted. She had Amer
lean officers and crew.
The ship was bound from one neu-
trail port to another, leaving Phila-
deIphia Sept. % for Copenhagen, and
carried illuminating oil which, Secre-
tary Lansing said, had not been class
ed as contraband in any notification
received from Great Britain. The ves-
sci was taken to the Orkney Islands.
The protest was made to the British
government through Ambassador
Page at London who was instructed
to ask for the immediate release Of
the Rockefeller.
Mr. Lansing said that no representa-
tions or protest had been made In the
case Of the steamer Brindilla taken
recently to Halifax. He added that
he was awaiting further information
as to the characte of her cargo and
the conditions under which she was
seized.
Mr.. Lansing had an engagement
with President Wilson today but de-
clined to say whether the seizure of
the ships would '3e discussed. As the
cargo of the Brindi1la was the same
as the Rockefeller's the governments
action today was taken to foreshadow
another protest and demand for re-
lease. unless some difficulty in the
change of the Brindilla's registry, not
xet developed, comes up.
