lists. but 1t was officially admitted on
Dec % that 4S9. 1873 wounded men had
been treated up to Nov. 60 OF whom
70 per cent had returned to the ranks.
Since then 1t is estimated that France
must have lost 25OO00 more in killed
and wounded. Germany on Nov.
claimed to have as prisoners 312S Of
f1cers and 1SS.6lS men. In French
military circles Frances total casual

PLENTY OF HORSES
IN UNITED STATES
Been Sent to War. Authorities
Expect Increased Demand.

WASHINGTON. Feb. G.-Warring
European nations have bought and ex-
ported more than seventy-five thou
sand horses from the United States
but there is no immediate danger APP
parent that continued export will
cause an acute shortage of horses in
this country, according to G.. A Bell.
OF the bureau Of animal husbandry in
the Agricultural Lookout, published
today
1--WE could sell two or three times
the number already exported without
there being any appreciable shortage
OF work horses" the statement adds.
The kind purchased are for the most
pert very mediocre animals W ich
would ordinarily sell for less than a
hundred dollars per head, and are a
class Of which we can well afford to
be rid.
The big demand for horses will
probably occur after peace has beer
declared. At that time the countries
now at war, with the exception Of
Russia will no doubt be very short of
horses for their agricultural and other
work.
THE demands on the United States
which has one-fourth OF the worlds
horses. will. therefore, be large, and
will probably continue for number
Of years This country. however, will
DO In a position to meet this demand"

CENTRAL FUND FOR
ALL RESERVE BANKS
Plan for. Extension of Clear
ing House Operations
Result Of Meeting.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Confer
onces between members Of the federal
reserve board and governors Of sew
eral Of the reserve banks and some
reserve agents have developed defln-
ite plans for the extension OF clear
ing house operations by the twelve
regional reserve banks, one feature
of the plan, II was learned today, pro-
yides for the creation OF central
fund of possibly S25, 200, 900 to be held
In Washington to the credit of the
reserve banks to take care Of clear
ing operations between them. The
results Of the deliberations, which
lasted several days, will be laid before
the. entlre federal reserve board next
Monday. Since the plans have the
approval OF w. z. G. Harding and
Paul NJ Warburg, two members ex-
perlenced in practical banking, It was
believed tonight that they would be
indorsed.
Actual development OF the clearing
system through the reserve banks will
be gradual, but members of the re-
serve board believe these banks will
in time take the place contemplated
in the reserve act and do practically
all the clearing for member banks.
According to information tonight
the central fund in Washington is to
be a gold fund made up OF deposits
from zach Of the twelve reserve banks
As now contemplated, each bank
might put up about ten per cent Of Its
reserve funds I'm the central fund. 1t
was understood that the secretary OF
the treasury might place some Of the
government money now on deposit
with national banks IN the fund. TO
the credit of federal reserve banks.
such action would allow reserve
banks 10 make smaller deposits In
the central fund from their own re-
sources. This part OF the plan was
said not TO have met the approval Of
Mr.. McAdoO as yet and It Is possible
that IL will not be adopted, Its re-
lection Will not affect the general pro-
posal. however.
In connection with clearings within
a district, the conference laid plans
which will not force member banks
TO clear through their reserve banks,
but which, It Is hoped, will prove at
tractive TO bankers and show the ad
vantages Of general district
Clearings.
