FINANCIAL LPAN|CS THING OF TREPAST DECLARES HAML|N Governor of Federal Re serve Board Speaks Be- fore the Chicago Real
 Estate Board

Chicago, February f3.-"Under the more financial panics." said Charles $. Hamlin. governor of tho federal re- serve board. at the annual banquet of the Chicago real estate board tonight.
 Although barely 10 weeks have elapsed since the opening of the 12 fed eral reserve banks, much has been ac- complished in the way of placing our banking system on a firm foundation, ," said MT. Hamlin. He then reviewed con- ditions which existed under the old system and said conditions just prior to the opening of the federal reserve banks in November were probably the most ominious in the history of our coun- try
 The establishment of the federal reserve system has been & potent cause in our financial recovery" he added. lin the first place, it established lower re- serve requirements, thus releasing an enormous amount of cash as a basis for future credit operations. It moblized material proportion of the reserve Of the member banks in the federal re- serve banks, thus furnishing a fund from which banks could be assisted in rediscounting commercial paper. An elastic note issue also was provided for, rising and falling in response to the needs of agriculture. commerce and in- dustry. Acceptances in the import and export trade also are permitted to be discounted by federal reserve banks and the member banks for the first time were authorized to accept bills drawn upon such transactions
 Mr. Hamlin said he did not share the fear of some persons that the federal reserve banks would have difficulty in earning their expenses and required divi- dends. Discussing the true function of the new banks, he said.
 Some claim that they are purely emer- gency banks, while others seem to feel that they are ordinary commercial banks which should at all times compete with the member banks. Neither of these ex- tremes. however, represents the real func- tion of the federal reserve banks
 Their duty Is not alone to meet emer- gencies, but so far as possible to pre- vent emergencies from arising and while ordinarily they do not and are not in- tended to compete with commercial banks, yet occasions may arise where such com petition, through their exercise of their open market powers. will be necessary for the protection for the people of the United States.

Paris. February 3.-(Special. "A n| extraordinary story of a German spy
 at Deal is told by a French3 Catholic priest in a letter to his relatives at Chambory. He is a teacher at Wal-
 mer. He visited the Belgian wounded at Deal Naval hospital.
 Among them was a sergeant, a part | ticularly intelligent and remarkable draughtsman. On leaving Deal as con- valescent he was transferred to FolkeA stone, where the priest saw him again. | He was much depressed, and said his afther, his wife, and his three chil- I dren had all been shot by Germans. He
 had just had tragic news from a friend at Lingo; he was in an excited state, and talked of killing all the Germans i he met.
 A week later the priest was spoken ! to by nurse in the same hospital. You remember, father, your friend, the
 wounded Belgian draughtsman, in whom l you took an interest?' Yes, indeed.s - Well, he was taken over to Calais three days ago by Belgian soldiers, and there l brought face to face with the real Bel : gian soldier, whose name, papers and

 with them and divided among them a large box of sweets he had received from home
 to the trenches and returned with won derful tales of how he joined our troops in exchanging presents with the Germans and singing carols.
 "He brought back with him some chocolate the Germans had exchanged for a pipe. He put them on one side for his romping playmates, as he called the little ones in the village.
 Those he distributed the next day to the nippers. to whom he sang a carol in his broken French. He taught them to call him Big Uncle John and never seemed to be so happy as when he was in their company. "It was on January 2 that sniper' $ bullet brought poor Jack down. This was not his proper name, as I discov- cred before he died.
 His history was sade one full oi romance, as the newspapers say. and I know now why he was 50 passion ately fond of children.
