CANAL STORY TOLD IN REPORT
 IF GOETHALS
It Embodies a Tale of Amer ican Pluck and Persever- ance That Made Possible
 the Construction of Great
 Ditch Across the Isthmus
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-COnclud- ing chapters in the story of American pluck and perseverance that made pos sible the construction of the Panama canal are written by Colonel George W. Goethals. governor of the Zone, in his annual report submitted today to Secretary Garrison The report tells of the canal builders battle against tricky earth slides, of the establishment of the permanent form of government in the zone, with Colonel Goethals as governor. of the beginning of the work on Qualifications to guard the great waterway against invasion, while i'm posing rows of figures tell of the cost of details in the canals construction and maintenance.
 The report shows that the canals cost, including the current appropria- tion. now stands at $353, ,559, ,049.G9. More than s37400O0 900 was appropriat- ed. Of that amount, more than S12,- 0O0, ,000 was for Qualifications.
 Work was continued during the year on the gun and mortar batteries, |" the report states, "and by the close of the year the concrete work was practi- cally completed as well as the greater portion of the back fill. on July 1. 1913, the construction of redoubts in accordance with plans prepared by a board appointed for the purpose and approved by the secretary of war, was undertaken and they were completed, as well as the clearing necessary in connection with them"
 The continued earth slides that checked the progress of the canal builders was described at length
 "The total amount of material re- moved in the dry from Culebra cut" the report states, from the beginning of American operations to June 15, 1914, aggregated 110,261,SS3 cubic yards at division cost of $07066 per cubic yard; of this amount 25,206 100 cubic yards were removed because of slides, or 22.S6 per cent"
 Describing the demolition of Gamboa Dike as one of the final steps in the canals completion. the report relates that with the exception of a small pocket slide in the vicinity of Cascades the admission of water to the cut has thus far had no bad effects, nor has there been any appreciable tendency

WASHINGTON. Nov. 15-With the opening tomorrow of the twelve fed eral reserve banks, the nation will tegin actual operation of it's new currency system designed to pro- vide an elastic circulating medium based upon modern ideas of finance ard economies.
 It has taken the reserve bank or aanization committee and the federal reserve board almost twelve months to work out details of organization te. the point where an opening date was chosen. Notwithstanding careful deliberations which preceded every preliminary step, the twelve banks will not for many weeks take up and exercise all the functions bestowed upon them by congress. Such evo- lution as will result from the old na- tional banking system of necessity will in most respects be slow. The reserve board. the guiding spirit Cf the new system. is itself feeling it's way over strange ground and the men in charge of the twelve banks probably will feel the same desire to work slowly and with sureness rath- CT than be venturesome.
 The new system is generally con ceded to be a compromise between Ia central bank and the present sys- tenn with its thousands of units, scattered reserves and fixed limits of currency. Its chief attraction and value. those who interpret it find in tke elasticity it will give to recOg- nized paper currency Under the present law national bank currency is almost a fixed quantity based up- on national bank capital, issued dp- CT United States bonds and unre- sponsive to the chill of hard times or the exultation of boom days. It's Use led, the experts say, to unre stricted loans and speculation, in the days when money was easy and to a noarding of resources and a tightening of the purse strings of credit when they were hard. It is said to have bred the panic of 1907 when solvent banks with large cred it's in reserve, and central reserve cities, were helpless and could get back to their own counters none If the millions they had placed with their larger and stronger correspon- dents
 Under the new system the federal reserve notes, which, in time. pro- bably will entirely replace the na- tional bank notes, now so familiar,

ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcH1


 NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-Two men who saw the British superdread- nsught Audacious lying helpless in heavy sea twenty-seven miles north west Of Lough Swilly shortly after sEe struck mine resulting in her d;sablement on October 27, arrived aboard the steamer New York from Liverpool They said she might be floating yet if the British cruiser Liverpool had not blown her up.
 They are James R. Beames leader Of the orchestra of the Olympic, " hiCh rescued the Audacious' crew ir lifeboats. and made fruitless ef-. fcrts to tow her into port, and Hugh Griffith. a musician. They said the Liverpool was too small to tow the Audacious, and went ahead of the Olympic to clear the way of mines. Fourteen boats took off She crew of 900 men after much diff cclty
 Attempts to tow the battleship failing, the Liverpool blew her up. Both men pledged their word to the British admiralty not to tell of -he battleship's loss, but whe convinced the news was public they told the story.
 It is understood the Audacious was steaming out with squadron when da maged by a mine. Other warships supposed she had been torpedoed and steamed away in conformity with the admiralty's orders that Wal ships must not endanger themselves in assisting others

fer the presence of water to produce slides"
 The canals giant locks and dams staunchly withstood the earthquake shocks, which were more violent and numerous during the last year than in any since the American occupation. Eighty seven distinct shocks were re- corded at Ancon.
 Practically all the shocks" the re- port stated. seemed to originate in the vicinity of the lower coast of Los San tos province, approximately 115 miles southwest of Ancon. The most violent shocks occurred october 2, 1913 and May 2S, 1914.
 The shock of May 2S resulted in slight damage to the new administra- tion building. then in course of con- struction, at Balboa heights. but with this exception the canal works suffered no damage from these shocks"
 As the construction of the canal pro ceeded to the point where a date was set for the admission of the first ship, the population of the zone steadily de- creased. On June 30, 1914. the force employed on the canal was 29,67S, pared with 43,35O at the close of the previous fiscal year Accompanying the decrease" the report states, there was a large emigration from the isth- mus. and for the first time since the work was started there was an excess of departures over arrivals of about 5,000"
 Inasmuch as the canal was not opened to traffic until August 15, the report does not tell of the passage of the first merchant ships nor of the financial aspects of the operation.

 Though Fighting Almost Ceases There is Little Re- lief for the Men in the Trenches Who Now Face { Severe Storms
 SOME SMELLING
 AT LONG RANGE Germans Have Made Sev- eral Attacks About Ypres Which French Say They ' Repulsed With Heavy 7 Losses to Enemy
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

LONDON, Nov. 15-After four weeks of the most desperate fighting there is a lull in the battle of Elan ders. With the lull came little re- lief for men in the trenches for the rifle and artillery fire which rained on them continuously has been re- placed by a severe storm In some parts of England the storm became a blizzard, on the sea heavy gale rages, and the battlefields are swept with rain and hail
 Generally the armies were content to shell each other at long range. but the Germans made several at tacks around the Ypres which the French say they repulsed with heavy losses. Despite their losses it is not believed the Germans intend abandon ing the attempt to reach the coast. The allies are making elaborate pre- parations to block the movement
 Extensive defense works have been erected along the Yser canal. The French armies holding that line from the Belgian border south to the River Disc are pushing forward to ap- proach the works and are strength ening both their effense and defense.
 Concerning Dixmude unofficial re- ports indicate the Germans are find ing the destroyed village a death trap. They are unable to debouch in the day time because the allies guns command. all the approaches. Neither side was able to make, an apprecia- ble advance. The Germans trans forming Belgium into a fortress are preparing for the winter stay. Fight ing at the eastern front was without decisive result.
 An important battle is in progress between the Russians and Turks in the Caucasus. It is announced that England has no intention of operat- ing in Arabia except to maintain or der Bulgaria has issued a state ment that there is no agreement with Turkey. The Servians and Montene- grins, once approaching the Bosnian capital are now in their own terri tory stubbornly resisting the Aus trisns. The Holland and Scandina- vian countries are alarmed over the sowing of mines, endangering neu- tral vessels.
 A Berlin dispatch says the Aus trian general staff has ordered general offensive movement against the Servians hoping to end the Balkan phase of the war before win ter, releasing the troops for the. Rus sian campaign.

LONDON, November 15-There are manifestly concerted and vigorous appeals to complete the recruiting of Britain's army of 100000 men. Within the last few days almost ev~ cry paper in London. ill it's news col umns and editorially, has urged prompt response to the call, one or two of them reminding their readers that it is far better to have volun teer army than even to consider the possibility of conscription.
 During the first rush of enlist ments the requirements were raised, a most unusual thing in time of war in any country. Now they have been restored to what they were Oe- fore. The age limit has been ex- tended, all men being accepted now
