WILL EXTEND BANKING
CONNECTIONS ABROAD
Reserve Board Awaits Naming of Cor
respondents by Member Banks.

The Federal Reserve Board is in q re-
ceptive attitude awaiting applications OF
Federal Reserve Banks for approval OF
designation Of foreign banks as corre-
spondents, 1t was stated at the boards
offices here yesterday. Following the ap-
proval OF the board Of the designation
by the New York Federal Reserve Bank
of the Bank Of England as its corre-
spondent, the board Is considering fur
ther extension IN the foreign field.
In all probability, the Bank Of France
will be selected as the best correspond
ent for the reserve system in that coun-
try and one or more Federal Reserve
Banks shortly are expected to apply to
the Reserve Board for approval Of such
a source.
The board made It plain, however. that
the present activity Of looking toward
establishment of foreign connections In
not to be followed by brisk international
business during the tendency Of the war.
Rather the move Is in anticipation of
the return of peace.
The Reserve Board next will look to
the Far East for banking connections.
Present business in substantial volume
Is more likely with the Orient than with
Europe the board believes.

REFUSE TO ORGANIZE:
TILL SENATE CONFIRMS
Members of Shipping Board Await the
Approval of Appointments.

The newly-appointed Shipping Board
VIII not make any move toward organic
Ing until the members have been con-
nrmed by the Senate, II was learned here
yesterday. The men named do not wish
to leave their business to cool their heels
In the Hobbies Of Congress until their
commissions are in their hands. No
enort viii be made to provide Offices
or paraphenalia pending the Senate's
action.
The new Shipping Board is given
powers over American shipping as drastic
as those Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission over railroad transportation.
At present it appears unlikely that
the Shipping Board will go into the
actual shipping business on behalf of the
government, but S5o.0oo.ooo has been
authorized for the purchase or construc-
ton Of ships. With bottoms at present
prices this fund will not buy a large
heet.
The board will be busy, however, ex-
ercising Its regulatory powers which, II
is stated, will be a surprise to the
country. Shipping men point out that
the board Is invested with the power to
build and operate ships and also to
regulate the operation of privately
owned vessels competing with the gov
ernment owned ships.

Fifteen PELLAGRA \
CASES in DISTRICT
No Cure Found So Far for Odd Dis.
ease Caused by Poor Diet.

At present in the District there are If
teen cases Of pellegra, according to fig
ures OF the Health Department
1t Is the opinion of DIR. Joseph Colds
berger, of the United States Public
Health Service. that this disease comes
from faulty diet. AS yet there has been
no cure found. The only present remedy
Is a diet that contains plenty of eggs,
cheese, milk, and like matter, and sani-
tary living conditions
Pellegra first came to the attention OF
the Health Department in the last six
months OF the year 1913, when four cases
were reported. One OF the characteris-
tics Of the disease is that women are
more susceptible than men. In 1914 p
cases were reported, Is of which were fe-
males, and males. Total deaths were
"A In 1915 % cases came to the attention
of the Health Department-1S female and
1 males; IS deaths resulting.
Negroes appear to be more susceptible
than white persons, as the ratio for the
past four years is negroes to 1 white
The Health Department does not quar-
antine the victims or placard their homes
my any way, as It has not been proved
that pellegra Is contagious.

interested in the matter and is an en-
thusiast on military training. Represen-
tatives OF the National Guard will also
be heard and offer their opinions on the
present military situation. Many of the
Guardsmen believe that the Mexican trou-
BILE has demonstrated conclusively that
the National Guard as a well-moulded
instrument Of war Is a failure and that
universal training is the most effective
substitute.
