B'WAY TRUST In
RESERVE SYSTEM
Other State Institutions Say In.
ducements Are Not Yet At.
tractive Enough.

Publication yesterday by the Federal
Reserve Board Of its regulations gov
erhing the admission Of state banks
and trust companies TO the reserve
system was followed by the action Of
the directors Of the Broadway Trust
Company. who voted that the institu-
ticn should at once make application
for membership in the system.
Inquiry among other big downtown
state banking institutions. however,
elected the information that none of
them will take similar steps in the
near future. While they commended
the efforts of the Reserve Board to
make the reserve system more attrac-
tive to state banks, il was the consen-
sus Of opinion that the inducements
offered were not yet Of sufficient i'm
portance TO warrant a REIMBURSEMENT
Of the benefits of the New York State
bonking law enacted at the suggestion
Of the Van Tuyl commission.
Particular objection was made to
the fact that no definite ruling was
made concerning the domestic accept
ance business. With trust companies
like the Guaranty, strict adherence to
the Federal Reserve act would mean
cutting down of this business by one
half. With the New York Reserve
Bank still on a non-dividend paying
basis. it was also pointed out that sub
scripton to its capital would mean a
loss of income of thousands of dollars
n year.
There is still much opposition to the
political character of the membership
Of the Reserve Board. In this connec-
tion the head of one big trust company
has suggested to the trust company
section of the American Bankers As
ISOLATION that it appoint a committee
of spirited bankers. who after
careful investigation should draw up
SGT OF amendments to be submitted to
the Federal Reserve Board. These, it
was pointed out, would be an answer
20 the criticism Of Federal Reserve Of
fcals that none of the state banks has
come forward with any definite sug-
gestions for the purpose of improving
the present national banking law.

terday's action of the board Frederic

GERMAN RAID. MENACE
TO RUSSIAN SAFETY

S LONDON. Sept. 15.-While Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg's cavalry is
astride the Petrograd railroad and
the Germans have made large cap
lures Of prisoners and guns in Cour-
land, the Russians are again counter
ing these efforts not only by checking
the attempts of the Austrians to re-
sumo the offensive in Galicia but by
inficting another reverse on the Aus:
tro-German forces in that vicinity.
Szientsiany, where the German
cavalry cut the railway, is half way
between Wilma and Dvinsk, and about
400 miles from Petrogred. The Rus
SLAMS assert this raid by the Germans
has formed dangerous salient in
their line of which their opponents
are likely to take advantage. It is
clear whatever strategic move may
be involved in this advance that re-
cent incidents indicate the near APP
proach of the important engagement
In the Wilma region, which was pre-
dicted fortnight ago by General
Polizanoff, the minister Of war.
Further along the line the German
armies operating on both banks Of
the Niemen have not yet formed a
junction and Russian rearguards are
still withdrawing eastward.

ing the people not to expect too
great developments from the Galician
