 Future Uncertain
 "The board does not undertake to forecast the probabilities or to specify circumstances which may become i'm portant factors in determining future conditions. Its concern and respon- sibility lies primarily with the banks. If. however. our banking institutions have to intervene because the gener- al securities accumulate faster than they can be absorbed. an element would be introduced into the situa- tion which, if not kept under control would tend toward instability or ul- innate injury to the economic devei- opment of this country.
 "The natural absorption power of the investment market supplies an important regulator of the volume of our sales to foreign countries in eX- | cess of the goods they send us. The form which the most recent business is taking, apart from reference to its intrinsic merits. makes it appear par ! ticularly attractive as a banking in- | yestment. The board, as matter Of fact, understands that it is expected to place it primarily with banks. In fact it would appear so attractive that unless a broader and national point of view be adopted. individual banks might easily be tempted to invest In {. to such an extent that banking re- sources of this country employed in | this manner might run into many | hundreds of millions of dollars.
 'It would therefore seem as a cir constance, that liquid funds of our banks, which should be available for I short credit facilities to our merch- l ants. manufacturers and farmers, | would be exposed to the danger of be- | ing absorbed for other purposes to disproportionate degree, especially in | view of the fact that many of our banks and trust companies already are carrying substantial amounts of foreign obligations and of acceptances which they are under agreement to re new.
 "The board deems it therefore it's duty to inform banks that it does not regard it in the interest of the coun- try at this time that they invest in foreign treasury bills of this charac' | ter.
 "The board does not consider that it is called upon to advise private in vestors. but as the United States is fast becoming the banker of foreigr countries in all parts of the world, II | ra6es occasion to suggest that the in vestor should receive full and accur ate data, particularly in the case o' unsecured loans-in order that they nay judge of the future intelligently in the light of the present economic developments.

discuss the question.
 Morgan Plan Rejected
 H. P. Davison of the Morgan firm, was in Washington recently and con- ferred with President Wilson and some of the members of the reserve board. It was said later that he had sought to have banks of the reserve system authorized to buy their treas ury bills as if they were bills of ex- change to cover commercial transac- tions.
 U. s. Don't Fear Gold
 Danger from further importation or large amounts of gold, the board says, will arise only in case the gold is per mitted to become the basis of unde- sirable loan expansions and of infia- tion. Emphasis is laid on the neces- sity for caution in putting money into investments which are short-term m name but which either by contract or through force of circumstance may in the aggregate have to be renewed until normal conditions return"
 The boards warning. in the form Of a statement to be published later m the Editorial Reserve Bulletin, fol- lows:
 No Slap At Allies Aimed
 .In view of contradictory reports which have appeared in the press re- garding it's attitude toward the pur- chasing by banks in this country or treasury bills of foreign governments the board deems it duty to define it's position clearly. In making this statement the board desires to dis claim any intention of discussing the finances or of reflecting upon the H. nancial stability of any nation. but wishes it understood that 1t seeks 10 deal only with general principles which affect all alike
 Advice to Banks
 'The board does not share the view freouently expressed of late that fur ther importations of large amounts of gold must of necessity prove a source of danger or disturbance to this country. This would arise only in ease the inflow of gold is uncon- trolled and permitted to become the basis of undesirable loan expansions and of imitation There are means however. of controlling accessions of gold by proper and voluntary cooper ation of the banks or if need be by legislative enactment.

FL PASO, Nov. 27.-The message from General Trevino was sent in code by way of Ojinaga, opposite the Texas town of Presidio. where it was relayed. It said, according to Carran- ga officials that Villa was moving north. and ordered the detached gar risons along this section of the iron tier and on the Mexico Northwestern line to concentrate in JuareZ. The message, they added, spoke of this as the fifth day of Villas attacks.
 Juarez Excited
 The countenances of the civil and military men in the Juarez headquar- ters tonight showed clearly the seri- ousness of the news.
 No, I think not" was the answer given by a CarranZa representative of high rank when asked whether the Villa crisis was yet over.
 It is understood there are about 800 men. mostly infantry, in or near JuareZ.
 Photographic communication was still open tonight with Sauz, about 26 miles above Chihuahua, the military men said. They professed considera- ble anxiety about the Carranza garri- son there General Murguia with his large force is expected daily.

Unpleasant Surprise

Unpleasant Surprise
 In the absence of official advices On the subject officials of the state department were not in a position to- day to discuss it formally or 70 fore cast the course the government is likely to pursue. It was made evident however. that the unfavorable action of the British foreign office on the notice of the intention of the new am bassador to cross the Atlantic to his post came as an unpleasant surprise. It had not been doubted here that Great Britain would be the last power to deny the privileged character of a diplomatic officer on such a voyage.
 Custom of Centuries
 Aside from the belief that England would not desire to arouse adverse feeling in the United States by inter ference with the ancient and general ly unquestioned right of a neutral government to receive an ambassador or minister. officials had counted up-
  on and Slidell case to prevent such an action as reported in today's cable dispatches.
 The fact is recognized that in pro- testing against the removal of the Confederate commissioners from the steamship Trent. the British govern ment was mainly concerned with the violation of the protection afforded by the British flag under which the Trent sailed and il was said that on that account the United States repu- diated the action of it's naval com mander. It is held here that protest also based on the right of diplomatic officers to make their way to their posts in neutral boats without moles- tation. It will be probably on that basis that the matter will be brought to the attention of the British govern ment.
 May Be No Protest
 It was learned today that the state department so far has not made for request tOt q NOANdNt AOi Austrian ambassador but has confined itself to a transmission of the request of the Austrian government for such a courtesy Therefore it is probable that if the issue is to be made it will not be necessary for the United States to make such a request on its own ac- count.
 May Prove Boomerang
 Great Britain's attitude. if adhered to. would prevent a new Turkish am bassador and successors to Captains Boy-Ed and von Papen. former naval and military attache of the German embassy. from reaching the United States
 Negotiations regarding a new Turk ish ambassador are said to have been under way for some time. It is un- derstoOd. however. that the German government has no intention at this time of sending new naval and mili- tary attaches. because of the belief that upon their arrival in this country they would become subjects of suspi- cion and investigation.

Holland has been able to maintain its neutral
ity only by efforts that amount almost to par
Z ticipation in the war. Its army has been under
arms since August two years ago, constantly en-
ploycd in guarding the frontier, while at sea the
Dutch have been more or less involved with all
the beillgerent navies. Now it finds itself con-
.fronted with new phase Of the war, one that
has legal as well a. moral bearing involving a
strict construction Of neutrality. Some thousands
OF German children have been taken to Holland
where they are now domicied, temporarily at
least. Prof. Van Hamel, distinguished Dutch
jurist, raises the question as to the responsibility
assumed In caring for these little folks.
II is not that the Dutch are lacking in hos
pitality, but they have been required to assume
considerable burden in providing for refugees
from Belgium and France, and for the interned
soldiers who have crossed the frontier for safety
Now, the professor asks, is Holland to be used
as restaurant to feed German children and such
women as may come with themf II the answer
Is affirmative, it goes a long way toward relieving
the economic pressure on the central powers as
we'll as to increasing Hollands load As friendly
philanthropy, the professor argues, the practice
may continue; as an interference with the mill
tary policy Of the Entente Allies, It may subject
Holland to future annoyance. Z.

Belgian relief 10 appealing to the people of the
United States for q million dollars week for

It's 4 Great Little Game.

A senator in need is friend indeed, and
therefore it is no surprise that the first thing to
occur to him after the return OF our senator from
Washington is the sending forth through his
newspaper Of an appeal to his subscribers to chip
into Doodle pot to be used in the interest Of his
campaign. According to his own admission the
senator was too busy shaping all manner Of legis-
iation, from the eight-hour force bill to freedom
for the Filipino. to think Of his own affairs In
fact, he has paid no attention at all to what for
months was going on outside Of the senate cham

Uniform Dress for High School Girls.

Some renewal locally is noted Of agitation Of
the question of dress for the high schol girls of
the city. It is suggested by some that these
misses be clothed in uniform costume, which
viii be simple, durable and inexpensive to the
end that pride be diminished. modesty fostered
and democracy conserved. So long as the matter
doesn't 60 beyond discussion little harm will be
done, but should the School board undertake to
adopt and enforce rule on the subject 1t is likely
It will find itself the center Of quite lively rum
pus. Science may declare more sanitary mode
Of dressing Is advantageous; moralists may think
different lines are more modest but who is going
to convince the joyous miss Of high school age
she doesn't know what she wants to wearl
False pride should not determine, nor false mod
esty what is proper costume for school girl
That matter can be left with safety to the girl
and her mother, while the school authorities may
be able to find plenty Of occupation Of more vital
concern to the public schools and their manage
ment.

Condemned in the House Of Its Friends.

Is the achievement of President Wilson in
forcing congress to enact the railroad wage in
crease law under stop-watch threat Of strike
something for democrats to boast Of? While
bordering on this question it is interesting to
note that Mr.. Bryan is enumeratng in the forth
coming issue Of his Commoner what he calls
''ten splendid remedial measures" by which the
democratic administration has, in his opinion,
Justified public confidence" an advance copy
Of his article having been furnished to and
printed by Edgar Howard's Columbus Telegram
over the signature Of Mr.. Bryan and dated "Alli-
ance, Nebraska, September S." Please observe
the date, which is subsequent to the enactment
and presidential approval Of the force wage bill
And yet in this list of "ten democratic wonders"
no mention is made of that last GROWING per-
Torrance
Measured BY the space devoted to it, Mr..
Bryan dwells most upon the thirty peace treaties
in which he takes personal pride, with emphasis
on these three provisions new to treaty making:
az That they embrace all Questions Of every
kind and character" ~ that they stipulate for
"a years time for investigation and report dur
ing which there shall be no resort to force;" (3)
that the parties reserve the right to independent
action at the conclusion Of the investigation"
The procedure embodied in these peace treaties
Mr.. Bryan, 1t will be remembered, recommended
and urged upon President Wilson for the settle
ment Of the railroad wage controversy, but his
suggestions apparently received no consdera-
ton.
Plainly, if the peace treaties, based on arbitra-
fion, entitle the democratic administration to
credit, then the wage increase law, or rather, the
metod by which It was procured wholly by show
Of force and completely at conflict with the prin-
ciple, Of investigation and arbitration, calls for
condemnation
