EMPEROR WILLIAM II celebrated

EMPEROR WILLIAM III celebrated
his Seth birthday on the 9th of JAN
and has the distinction of being more
able to WELD power for good or evil
than any ruler since the first Napol-
con. No man in history has aroused
so much discussion. He is conceded
everywhere to be the central figure
in the war.
This man of whom everyone is talk
ing was bern on jar. q, 1859. His
father was Frederick LII; his mother,
the Princess Victoria Of Great Brit
ain. When his father died on June
Is, 1888, after short reign, the pres
ent Emperor succeeded TO the throne.
He married Princess Victoria of
Schleswig Holstein, who is three
months older than he, on Feb. q,
1881. They have seven children, six
princes and one princess.
William III is a many-sided man.
With capacity for hard work and
long hours combined with a mind
quick to grasp essentials he would
have succeeded in almost any bust
ness or profession. AS an emperor ii
is for the future historian to say
whether he is success or failure
Until the war broke out, at least, he

HoBsoN has come out with another

Reserve Banks a Success.

The first report of the federal re-
serve board, covering the develop
ments which preceded the opening of
the II regional reserve banks last
November and the two months in
which they have been in actual opera
ton, was sent to congress. 1t an
nounces that noteworthy results al
ready have been accomplished and that
the system now scannot be regarded
as experimental in the sense that there
is any uncertainty as to the outcome.
No legislation is asked for the board
deyoting its report chiefly to an out
line of how the new system has
strengthened the nations situation.
LESS than five months have
elapsed" says the report, "since the
introduction into our financial system
of the most far reaching change that
has been made in the field of American
banking since the passage of the ma
tional banking act. Less then two
months have gone by since the federal
reserve banks actually opened for bus
iness. The system, however, is in
operation and has already produced
results of the most noteworthy cl.ar-
acter.
"1nere is much yet to be done, but
the work cannot be regarded as ex-
perimental in the sense that there is
any uncertainty as to the outcome.
The only question is as to how rapid
ly it will be possible TO develop full
capacities and resources of the federal
reserve system"

Developments"
This is the 1915 slogan of the Wis
consin Bankers association adopted
at the mid-winter meeting of the ex-
ecutive council at the state headquar-
tiers in the Pabst building, yesterday.
The idea is to boost the develop
ment of Wisconsin, industrially as
well as agriculturally, and to use Wis
consin funds at home for the develop
ment of the state instead of sending
the money into other states.
A campaign of education viii be
carried on much the Sa ne as the agri-
cultural campaign conducted by the
bankers during the last five years. In
the last year 10000 copies OF the Wis
consin Bankers agricultural bulletin
were distributed each month, and the
association co-operated with the Col
lege of Agriculture of the University
of Wisconsin in getting educational

FORM MORTGAGE COMPANY.
To further the new idea and put the
Wisconsin money into farm mortgages

gage and Securities company has
been organized with sixty country
bankers as stockholders. Mortgage
collateral bonds will be issued by the
company based upon first mortgages
upon Wisconsin farms.

PRESIDENT WILSON vetoed the i'm
migration bill on Thursday and sent
a special message to congress saying
he disapproved of the measure because
of the literary test. There was some
sentiment favoring an attempt to
pass the measure over the presidents

came assured all that there would be
no attempt to pass the bill over the
veto,

DESTROY
PLANTS ON SLOPE
Policemen Necessary to Protect
Embankments From Young
sters; Building Approaches

Park Commissioner Taylor is meet
ing public expectation in planning, at
proper intervals along the river slope,
practical walks from the top of the
bank to the concrete walk along the
wall. Instead of constructing danger
Gus concrete steps from the top to the
bottom of the slope he has adopted
a much better plan in the placing of
walks that run southwark along the
slope, thus making easy of approach
the front steps and walk below.
Upon the completion of the grading
and planting from "Hardscrabble"
northward, it will be possible for the
Department of Parks to take up the
restoration of the bank from Herr
street southwark. There has been con-
siderable damage done to the planting
and the slope during the operations on
the River Front work. 1t is not I'M
likely that some arrests will be made
by the department of those persons
who persist in throwing branches of
trees and other refuse over h bank
as was lone in the old days when
the river shore was the public dump
ing ground of the city.
Unless the Department of Parks
place watchmen with police power
along the river parks this sort of abuse
of the peoples pleasure ground will
probably continue, in the opinion of
those who are familiar with the con-
ditions.

COMPANIES
MUST GIVE UP .SH|PS|
Application to Retain Ownership
Denied by Interstate Com
merce Commission
BY Associated Press

Washington. May 15.-The applica-
ton of the Pennsylvania, New York
Central. Lehigh Valley and other rail-
roads to retain ownership or continue
to operate boat lines on the Great
Lakes despite the prohibition in the
Panama Canal act was denied to-day
by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
All the railroads applying must give
up their boat lines by December 1,
1915.
This is the first case involving ex-
tensive steamship properties under the
new law which has been decided
against the railroads.
The decision is regarded as of great
importance to all the ports on the
lakes which are reached both by boat
and rail lines. The fact that they are
reached by both these agencies of
transportation. the commission says,
establishes a case of competition eN-
listing between the owning railroad
and its BOAT lines
