RESERVE BOARD WARNS AGAINST
 FOREIGN NOTES
Suggests Banks Refrain from Tying Up Funds in
 Treasury Bills.

Washington, Nov. 27-American bankers were warned by the federal reserve board today to avoid locking up their funds by the purchase of tcrasury bills of foreign governments, involving long time bligations. While specifically disclaiming any "inten- tion of reflecting upon the financial stability of any nation" the board ad- vised all inevstors to proceed with caution, and formally announced to member banks of the federal reserve system that with liquid funds which should be available to American mer- chants, manufacturers and farmers in- danger of being absorbed for other purposes that it does not regard it to be in the interest of the coutry at this time that they inevst in foreign treasury bills of this character"
 The statement is regarded in official circles as the most important declara- ton by the board since it was creat- cd. Officials would not discuss the matter for publication but some of them informally interpreted the re- sreve boards answe rto the recent proposal of J. F. Morgan & company, British fiscal agents in this country, to have American bankers accept Brit ish trasury bills of an indefinite total issue to be secured by gold reserves held in Ottawa

DEFINITE STEP TAKEN TOWARD
 LIBRARY HOME
Active Campaign Will Be Started Soon After
 Christmas Holidays.

Preliminary steps were taken last night, at conference of library work CTS and Mayor Simon Bloom, as re- suit of which it is confidently believ- ed an active campaign for a public library building will be put under way soon after the Christmas holi- days.
 Mayor Bloom was enthusiastic over the prospects, after the conference.
 "We reached no decision on any thing, except that we are going to get that library building" he said. "We talked over many matters in connec- tion with the movement, and will like ly have other conferences, so that the active campaign can be started im- mediately after the holidays, when the business men will not be so rush. ed as they are now"
 The tentative plan, it is understood, is to open correspondence at once with the Carnegie library fund commission, and at the same time prepare for the action necessary to obtain a lot on which to erect the building, large lot being desired, that an annex may be erected to the main building, when the necessity requires. The discus sion centered about building that would cost, with lot, fixtures and oth- CT equipment, about $35,O00.

LAKESIDE WILL
 BE OUT OF DEBT
 BY YEARS END
Fourth Quarterly Meeting Finds Organization In
 Excellent Condition.

That the Lakeside Methodist Epis- copal church, which two years ago had an indebtedness of $14,000, will be cleared of debt by the close of the year, was the outstanding feature of the reports and disclssion last night, at the fourth quarterly conference of the church, conducted by the presid- ing elder of the district, Rev. J. A. Sage.
 The church presented Dr. Sage with a handsome gold headed cane, as a token of the love and esteem in which he is held, and voted unanimously for the return of it's present pastor, Rev. Marion Nelson Waldrip.
 The reports showed that the church has enjoyed a good gain in member ship, the roll now containing 525 raised the sum of $13,209, for all pur- poses.
 The church two years ago had an indebtedness of $14,O00, incurred in the erection of the handsome new house of wroship. This had been re- duced to S10,000, and then arrange ments were made to obtain a gift of $3,000 from the church extension board, leaving a balance still due of $7,000. At the services Sunday, when ~Dr. Waldrip preached two spec ial sermons, pledges were received in sufficient amount to retire that in- debtedness, and by the end of the year the debt will have been actual wiped out, it was said.
 Stewards eletced last night were as follows:
 Walter Alden, A. Brewster, Edgar Brewster, Garland Brewster, Edgar Blackwell, w. L. Carr, R. M. Fletcher. o. M. Gatlin, w. M. Galloway, Dr. J. w. John, Fred LeLaurin, Dr. H. B. Martin, M. J.

 SHIPS AVOID LANE

Boston, Nov. 27-The translation tic lane southeast of Nantucket shoals lightship in the vicinity in which five ships were sunk by the German sub marine U-53 on October 8. was virtu- ally clear of foreign shipping today, according to reports received here.
 This apparent abandonment of the regular route of shipping is believed to be due to wireless warnings sent out yesterday by the British cruiser Lancaster, notifying steamship cap- teins that German submarine prob- ably was present in those and closely odiocent waters.

Associated Press Summary
 The entire line of the Alt river in Rumania. running north and south though the country from the Tran sylvanian Alps to the Danube is now in the hands of the Teutonic allies.
 In all directions. the invaders are continuing to make progress, with Bucharest, their main objective, daily coming nearer.
 The southern and eastern drives in the Alt region have brought the Teu- tons across the Topolog river. while to the south, between Rochi, Devede and Valeni. their line has been drawn considerably closer to the capital
 Alexandria, AZ miles southeast of Bucharest has been taken by Field Marshal von Mackensen's troops. Con- sidering the swiftness of the advance of the Teutonic allies through Wal lachia, comparatively few prisoners have been taken, although semi-of- ficial reports credit them with having captured considerable supplies of needed stores Near Orsova, 2S of ficers and 1,200 men were made pris oners. while in the Alt region, near Tignevia, ten additional officers and 400 men fell into the hands of the TeutOns.
 Allies Meet Defeat.
 Tn battle extending over a front 17 miles long. northwest and north Mokovo, the entente allies, according to Berlin, have met with severe de- feat, through the failure of an attack launched against the line of the allies of the central powers.
 Aside from reports of the repulse of Bulgarians by the Serbians, and of the continued progress of tho Italians west of Monastir, the entente allies war offices record no import ant engagements on the Macedonian fronts. T"l
 In the Carnia sector of the Austro- Italian theatre, east of Gorizia, the Austrians are vigorously shelling the Italian positions. :
 On the Russian front, there has been considerable activity by both the Russians and the Germans at various points.
 Comparative calm still prevails all along the front in France, so far as infantry is concerneda A German seni-official dispatch says there are indications that the entente allies con- template fresh offensive, probably near Armentierres. East of Arras, heavy artillery bombardments are being carried on, and also on the St. Mihiel salient, southeast of Verdun.
 Another semi-official dispatch from Berlin quotes Constantinople advices to the effect that Arabs on the Tri- poli-Tunis frontier in northern Africa have defeated the Italians and car ried the fight across the border into Tunis, across the French line. The losses of the Italians are stated at 10000, not including the prisoners taken by the Arabs.
 Great Britain has definitely de- clined to grant safe conduct to the United States of the newly appointed ambassador from Austro-Hungary.
