RESERVE BOARD AN
INDEPENDENT BODY
Not Responsible to Treasury
Department, Attorney Gen.
eral Tells McAdoo.

Washington, Dec 19.-Attorney Cen
eral Gregory rendered an opinion to
day defining the status Of the Federal
Reserve Board as BODY. independent
of any government department and
one over which the Treasury Depart
ment has no control. 1t is held to be
an absolutely independent body.
The opinion was called forth by a
request from Secretary McAdoo asking
the status and powers Of the Reserve
Board in its relation to other federal
departments.
In his opinion Attorney General
Gregory said:
Consideration Of the history Of the
Federal Reserve act, of the general
scheme OF the whole act. of the func.
tions TO be performed by the Federal
Reserve Board and of the method OF
their performance leads me TO the clear
opinion that the board is an indie
pendent board OF government establish
ment.
'The Federal Reserve Board is NOT
merely a supervisory, but is a dis
tinctly administrative board with ex-
tensive powers.
vision that the Federal Reserve Board
shall be considered as a bureau, divi-
sion or office Of the Treasury DeparD
ment, a significant omission in view
of the fact that in Section rs IL
amended the Revised Statutes relative
to that bureau OF which the Con
troller Of the Currency was the chief
officer and the provision in Section
l. that the Secretary of the Treasury
may assign Offices in the Department
of the Treasury for the use Of the
Federal Reserve Board IA provision
added TO the House bill by the Senate
committed would be highly superfiU-
Gus if the board were bureau of that
department for which the Secretary
already possessed complete authority
to assign Offices in his own depart

SUFFRAGE TO CURE
RESTLESS NERVES
Women Advised to Work for
Vote Cause by Speaker at
Suffrage Shop.

Sufferers from neurasthenia and mel
ancholia, get out an work <or SUI
frage! A votes for women campaign
will tone up your nerves and restore
your mental poise.
This prescription was issued b.
Hutchins Hapgood at the Fifth Avenue
Suffrage Shop yesterday. His advice,
he said, was the result of '-ide OBJ
servation of women.

explained, women whose nerves were
all out Of order and whose minds were
confused because they didn't have any
thing to occupy them-husbands took
too good care of them-well, I've
known them 20 be completely changed
through getting walked up TO suffrage
and working for II. Its the best cure
for ills of the mind that / know"
This age is the renaissance OF the
middle class women, Mr. Hapgood de-
clared.
"They are restless" he said, "he-
cause they can no longer absorb them
selves in the tasks supposed to be
theirs. The feministic movement
doesn't take in the working women. be-
cause they are exploited to a point
which smothers restlessness. But mid
die class women are full of uneasiness,
and therefore more interesting than
they ever were before"
All this awakening, Mr.. Hapgood
said, was making woman the spiritual
sex, as contrasted TO man.
Miss Alice Carpenter made a speech.

Brown, who, owing to the death Of her
father, was unable TO be there.
Richard Waldo, of The Tribune. will

eral staff Of his country with re-
gard to the general political situa-
ton and because Of the possibility
that war may soon break out. In
case Belgium should be attacked
the sending Of ybout 100000 troops
was provided for.
The lieutenant colonel asked me
how such measure would be re-
garded by us. ! answered him
that from a military point OF
view il could not be but favorable,
but that this question of interven-
tion was just rs much matter Tor
the political authorities and that
therefore, il was my duty TO inform
the Minister of War about IL.
Mr.. BaTnardiston answered that
his minister in Brussels would
speak about il with our Minister of
Foreign Affairs.
He proceeded in the following
sense: The landing Of the English
troops would take place at the
French coast in the vicinity OF
Durkirk and Calais. so as to hasten
their movements as much as pos
sible. The entry of the English in
Belgium would only take place
after the violation of our neutral
ity by Germany. A landing at
Antwerp would take much more
time, because larger transports
would be needed and because. on
the other hand. the safety would
be less complete.
This admitted. there would be
several other points to consider,
such as railway transportation. the
question of requisition, which the
English army could make, the
question concerning the chief COM
mand of the allied forces.
He inquired whether our prepa-
rations were sufficient in order TO
secure the defence Of the country
during the crossing and the trans
portation Of English troops. which
he estimated to last about ten days.
answered him that the places
Namur and Liege were protected
from a coup de main" and that
our field army OF 100000 men
would be capable of Intervention
within four days.
After having expressed his full
satisfaction with my explanation
my visitor laid emphasis on the
following facts:
First-That our conversation was
entirely confidential.
Second That il was not binding
on his government.
Third That his mini, r, the Eng

states.
Plans for branch Office in this city
were not definitely settled. 1t depend
ed. Miss Alice Paul, chairman Of the
union, said on the finding of just the
right organizer TO take charge. II was
decided TO begin work at once among
the women of the eleven voting states
TO awaken them to the need of using
their influence TO enfranchise their Sis
.ers in the other states.
"As many women as can be gathered
from the voting states will go 70 San
Francisco in August TO hold a great
meeting at the Panama Exposition
Miss Paul said. after that these wom-
an will proceed in groups to Washing
ton TO be ready for Congress when
that body convenes. The groups will
90 by different routes and hold meet
ings everywhere along the way. Will
they hike? / don't know, but prob
ably some Of them will choose pictu-
rescue ways of travelling"
The union will be active in the Della
ware campaign. In that state no ref
erendum is necessary. A bill passed
twice by the Legislature will enfran-
chise the women.
"And that" Miss Paul pointed out,
twill give US two more suffrage Sem
ators in Washington"
The advisory council of the union,
consisting of more than one hundred
women, will meet in Washington on
January 10.
Miss Lucy Burns, chairman, and
Mrs. Kent, wife of Representative Kent,
OF California. were among those who
came from Washington TO attend the
meeting yesterday. Some of the New
York women present were Mrs Harriet
