THE CASE OF MArANovcH

Jovan NIaanoyich who is under arrest at Portland. charged of violating the neutrality of the United States is rated as one of the prominent statesmen of the lt te kingdom of Montenegro. He is secretary to the King of his native land and has served his country as Ambassador to Turkey To represent Balkan coun- try at Cons,antinople itself complete evidence of capabuity because that is of ,he most delicate tasks that Balkan citizen may be called upon to per form
 That Mr. Matanoyich managed to collect some l0- 900 men and make complete arrangements for their transportation to Montreal before he arrested is indicative that managed another ditclt task with more than usual shrewdness
 It is even said tia, his arrest has worked to the benefit of his cause because has resulted in publicity that has caused hundreds of his countymen in various parts of the country to go to Canada at their eS pense. there to enlist fight against Germany and Austria
 However there should be no complaint because the United States Is endeavorng to prevent the enlistment of men in this country for the purpose of fighting Europe There is wide difference between the case of a citizer of foreign country in the United States temporarily who hears call of loyalty to native land and citizenship and answers it by leaving at his own expense to take up arms the actual recruiting of soldiers within our borders.

WHAT THE RESERVE
 BANKS ARE DOING

Speaking before the delegates to the twenty-second annual convention of the New York State Bankers As- sociation. held last week at Saratoga Springs. Benjamin strong, Jr-. gov ernor of the New York Federal Re- serve Bank, declared that the reserve banks are not part of the government The responsibility for them rests pri- marily with the member banks.
 He directed attention to the enor. nous reserves beyond the legal re, Quirements now held by tbe banks of the United States and urged that way be found Go utilize these to ii. nance international commerce and world banking methods. Mr. Strong said.
 .Tt may be that the involuntary character of the national bank mem bership has been responsible for the prevalent feeling that these reserve banks are departments of the govern. ment. Such an attitude on the part of member banks might lead them to disavow the responsibility for the management of the reserve banks. when. in fact. the primary responsi- biities for the character of their management rests upon Che members who own an the capital stock, and in fact an the assets of the reserve bank
 Responsibilities of Ownership
 Many members have not yet rec ognized the responsibility of owner ship which properly rests upon them, As stockholders, they elect two-thirds of the directors, by whom the offic- CTS of the reserve banks are in turn appointed. It is clearly the duty of the member banks to elect competent directors and see that efficient and reliable officers are appointed
 "They should feel free to make sug- gestion and criticisms regarding the management of the banks and equally free to make the greatest possible use of their facilities
 gro these banks the government in a sense has entrusted its credit. They are authorized to act as it's fiscal agents and through them are issued notes which tine government is obi gated to redeem in gold. The govern ment should, therefore assume a par tial responsibility for their manage ment and superyision Il appoints three of the directors and a board of seven men to supervise the whole system.
