BRITAIN AND FRANCE

Continued from First Page.

Itself In the matter at any time since,
II was stated.
News Of the withdrawal Of the notes
occasioned some surprise to members Of
the reserve board this afternoon mas
much as recent advices from New York
seemed to indicate the bankers planned
TO go ahead with the issue. They had no
intimation that this plan had been
changed until the official announcement
was made In New York. The board has
been extremely interested in obser ving
whether or not their advice would be
taken by the banks. as no precedent ex-
listed for their action. Now that the
notes have been withdrawn II will be
impossible to tell row much the banks
would have been guided by the boards
advice.
A member Of the board said to-day
that he believed the British Government
might have felt that the boards action
had been In the nature of an attack
upon the credit Of the British nation.
whereas this vas disciaimed. There has
been no desire. II was stated. to question
British credit or to attack the merit Of
these particular notes.

be followed by further issues, and not

Of this nature might be let loose here,

Explains Americas Caution.
For this reason It was said II had un.
dertaken to warn not only banks b u
investors who might lack experience "a
look carefully into the securities they
| were asxcd to take.
Another reason. II was stated. WA
that should the banks become over
loaded with such securities they would
necessarily have TO come to the Federal
Reserve bank with their other assets
for rediscount in case they needed
money. The board believed that II.
action was justified for this reason II for
no other. According to this member OF
the board these Treasury notes were no,
regarded as OF a class Of securities
easily liquidated.
The warning issued by the Federal
board was approved by the ten member
Of the advisory council Of the board
present at a recent meeting. 1t was
stated to-day that many letters OF ap.
proval had been received since the action
was taken. though few OF these. II was
admitted. had come from bankers. There
have been n few protests, but these have
not been made by bankers. but by per.
! sons who feared the effect Of the action
on this country's foreign trade.
While there has been some criticism
that the board SHOULD undertake TO war;
investors in such a matter. members ot
the board Justify their action in this
respect by pointing out that should In

WASHINGTON Dec. 1.-President Will

British horse ship Marina with the loss
OF six American lives. The Berlin For
eign Office seeks to Justify the act OF the

that he Understood the vessel was In the
service Of the British Admiralty.
President Wilson and Secretary

Germany Attitude.
Germany does not deny the fact tkat
the ship was torpedoes without warning.
But she seeks to Justify the act. and
takes the position that the United States
Government must produce evidence TO
show that the submarine commander had
no right under international law to pur-
sue the course he followed. II such evil
dence is forthcoming the German Gov
eminent nnounce it's readiness to make
reparation and punish the submarine
commander. Germany. however, does
not yet admit any blame in the matter.
According TO Germany's contention
the Marina was formerly in the service
OF the British Admiralty. and her gun
ners were under direct orders from the
Admiralty. which placed the vessel In
the status OF an auxiliary warship
which could be attacked without warn
ing under international law. The fact
that the ship had become an auxiliary
in the British naval service was made
known. according to the German view.
and German submarine commander
were duly apprised Of II.
1t II understood by the German Gov
rnmen that beliigerent governments
are bound under International law to
announce whenever a merchant vessel
is transformed into an auxiliary war,
ship and conversely whenever an auxil-
larry warship resumes Its status as an
