A WARNING SOUNDED.

When the Federal Reserve Banking System was created by Congress the object was to have it's board of direc- tors, the Federal Reserve Board, keep in touch with all financial conditions and to advise the member banks. gree yesterday when the board sent notice to all member banks advising and warning them to refrain from the purchase of treasury bills of foreign governments involving long term obli cations There is no mention of any nation in the statement but it Is known that the hint is leveled against the purchase of British and French Trea sury bills which these two coun- tries have already planned to place upon the market. It is pointed out bv the board that while these notes may be short in form and severally may be collected at maturity, the ob- feet of the borrower must be to at tempt to renew them collectively, with the result that the aggregate amount placed here will remain until such time as it may be advantageously converted into a long term obliga- tion" Which means of course that there is a possibility of these notes dragging on until normal conditions return or until Europe again is set on
 it's feet Without refecting upon the financial stability of any nation at war the Federal Reserve Board simply issues a warning to the banks not to give European nations the Hquld funds which should be available to American business fnen,-to the farm CTS, the manufacturers, and the mer- chants The Federal Reserve Board
 justifies it's existence by pointing out such dangers as this.

MERELY ANOTHER BnUNDER.

Great Britain acts first and gives
 reasons afterward In the case of
 British refusal to grant safe con- duct to Count Tarnow-Tarnowski to l take the place of Dr. Dumba in Wash l ington as Ambassador from Austria Hungary there will probably be no reason given. The American people will be left to remember the activities of Dr. Dumba and his connection with certain plots against the Allies while acting in his official capacity. Then it will be concluded, according to British logic, that his successor has no right in this country because he, Count Tarnowski, might take up the work of destruction where the la mented Dr. Dumba left off.
 If that Is the manner in which the minds of the British authorities work the American government has no re-
 course, has nothing to say in the mat
 ter, although the people may label
 this latest action as another British
 blunder of which there are examples
 in the past. The United States govern
 ment has shown itself fit to take care
 of recalcitrant ambassadors, as in the
 case of pr. Dumba. When that esti1n-
 able gentleman was caught red-
 handed and proven to be outside the
 bounds of common courtesy, he was
 handed his walking papers and sent
 back to his native hearth. Jn view
 of what happened to Dr. Dumba it is unreasonable to suppose that Austria Hungary would send over another ran to take a hand in the nefarious work which has ostepsibly beer aban- doned. There have been no explo- sions, no blowing up of bridges or mu-- nition factories, since the ers+whileS 8 Iii bassador left the country. The re- sentiment of the American peopla may be aroused against Great Britain for it's stand in the case of Count Tarnow- ski, but the American government must pursue the even tenor of its way and try to get along with what dip 1omatic representatives there are in charge of the Austrian embassy. It Is no fault of Americas that Count 1 cannot represent l his country in Washington. It is | merely false assumption on the 1 part of Great Britain.

A GJe3tcr Holland.
(Denver Rocky Mountain News.

Denver Rocky Mountain NeWs.)
 Holland is considering proposal for the enlargement of her territory that will be vastly safer and less costly than the ambitious projects of her belligerent neighbors. It is a tribute to the sanity and self-reliance of the Dutch people that they should be planning a great reclamation under taking at the very time when all about them men are engaged in the work of destruction.
 A bill was recently passed in the Dutch parliament to provide for the draining of the zuyder Zee, the great inlet from the sea that Is almost com pletely landlocked by the coasts of the mainland and the F'risian islands. The Zuyder Zee is about eighty-ive miles long and from ten to forty five miles broad. Its area is more than 2,OOO square miles. It's average depth Is less than twelve feet. It's bottom would be exceedingly fertile, owing to the accumulation of silt from the Ysel and it's reclamation would add a con- siderable province to North Brabant of richly productive value.
 The big engineering feature of the plan requires the building of dam from the Island of Wieringen, lying close to the southwestern coast of the Zuyder Zee at it's upper, and the Friesland coast. The dam would be nineteen miles in length, exclusive of the island, which adds five miles to it.
 Holland has waged continuous war fare against the sea. So far some 1000 square acres have been won from it in peaceful conflict. If the zuyder Zee project Is carried out, after allowing for that portion of the water are excluded from the reclama- ton and the inclusion of a lake, and possibly channel to Amsterdam, there will be added over O,OO0 square acres to the arabic soil of the little kingdom. Under the intensive farming practised by the Dutch this means a great potential enrichment.

New York Papers Moving.

The Herald building, a sight of Broadway is about to give way to the upward trend. For fifteen years this building has been one of the sights of New York, enjoyed not alone by the stranger within her gates but the na- tive as we'll Now a big office build ing Is proposed for the site and the Herald is seeking new quarters.
 The Sun building, down town, is to be sold at auction and the Sun news paper may seek uptown quarters.
 The Evening Mail has removed from its quarters on Broadway and taken up a habitat at City Hall place where it has more room for expan- sion.
 The American and Evening Jour- nal will be located uptown within a year. They have principal offices up- town at present, but the editorial of- fires continue at the William street location.

Greece, the Fifteenth War Nation.
 (New York World

\ANS" l. VI h WOriQ.)
 If Venizelos is still the head of g. constitutional government which King Tino usurped, Greece is the fifteenth nation at war. not counting Albania, Persia, San Marine or any colony.
 In fact, the war declaration of the Salonica government means a divided Greece and a small addition to the entente forces for the present. Ven izelos can use conscripting powers onlp with delay and in part of the country. His volunteers can hardly as yet number an army corps, and as they enroll they must be reorgan- ized and rearmed
 If the entente accepts and is to re- ward such services it must be in the hope that gallant sons of Greece from near and far. even America, will gather to the war standard. British inactivity on the Struma may mean in part that the task of driving the Bulgar1ans from Kavala, treacherous- ly delivered to them with much war material by the kings party, is re- served for Greeks, as the recapture of Monastir was left mainly to Serbs.
 Politically, Venizelo's act aids the entente. It will be argued that the ablest man in the Balkans would not move now if he were not satisfied that Gen. Sarrail at Salonica is strong enough to do his work Yet how re- gently the world was saying this oi Rumania and of Bratianu! In any case there will be a Greece after the war. The kings German friends will see to it if the big plans of Venfzelos and the entente go wrong.

A Question of Neutrality. (New York Tribune


 MT. Bernard Ridder, that jealous and indefatigable upholder of the gospel of true Americanism, has been preaching another sermon on interna- tional law and neutrality, with par ticular reference to an American who has lately served in the French flying corps. MT. Ridder has nothing to say against this young officer personally, though he thinks he might we'll have stayed abroad, for "where the heart is the hand should be- It happens, however, that he is now on his native soil and what MT. Bidder fears is that he will be allowed to go abroad again. He accordingly demands that he "be interned forthwith and until France is again at peace with the world.'
 That the offender is American by birth is an irrelevant consideration. "The important fact is,' MT. Ridder argues, "that we are permitting 8 French officer, actively engaged In war against a people with which we are at peace. to enter this country without interning him. We must not let him go. "Only the United States appar- ently,'' says MT. Ridder, "gives the freedom Of it's territories to members of the fighting forces of Europe-and then only to those of the Allies"
 MT. Bidders memory is short: he has forgotten the U-53 and her gallant commander, whose heroic deeds a few hours after his visit to Newport were so glorifled and exalted in the "Staats- Zeitung." Did he cry out for the in- stant internnent of the licensed pirate Captain Rose?

Life Rfsked to Save Life.
(New York WOrld)


 The rescue of all aboard the Am erican steamship Sibiria was a feat worthy of the long record of the par ent life-boat institution of the world.
 In the ninetythree years of or ganized rescue work in England there have been few storms worse than that which in the past few days has strewn wide waters with wreckage and piled tidal waves on half the coast of Europe. On the evil Goodwin Sands a number of small craft were pounding before the Sfbiria struck. The lifeboat crews were already ex- hausted by their humane labors, but they strove to reach her and were overturned, with some injuries. They waited for the storm to subside, but, as the ship threatened to break up sooner, they tried again while the waves ran so high and the ship ploughed so deep that their boats tossed level with the bridge. And, women first, off came the whole com- pany.
 The younger life-boat men are off to the war. The rescue must have been made by volunteers and bv iudg- nautical old salts whose rheumatic bones are offset by the skill of years of toll and daring. In the midst of the vast slaughter of the war they showed once more that men need not lose manliness in peaceful pursuits. Soldiers in the trenches who risk life to take life have nothing of heroisrn to teach these unnamed boatmcn who risked life to save life on the Good win Sands. The people of the United States in particular owe them grati- tude with admiration.

Thank God and Help Europe.
(New York Evening Post.

Whether in response to a request or selfmoved, President Wilson has done a fine thing in making his Thanksgiv- ing proclamation mainly an appeal for tne war sufferers of Europe. He urges mericans to remember them i'll religious services and also by re- ncwed gifts. If ever our country had a Thanksgiving peculiarly calling up on 1t to be generous, it is down and running over, the misery of millions across the water would make us ap- pear exceptional niggards If we did not respond to it with open hearts and purses. The United States ought not to express it's gratitude for bless ings by thanking God that others are worse off than we are!

RADICALLY WRONG.

Because one of the big gamblers of he West, the man who attempted to prner the egg market, knew he was Immune from arrest so long as he did lot sell his product to retail or whole fa1e trade outside of his state, he lew brazen. This man who held p R.000,000 eggs in storage and re- hsed to let them out until prices pared asked the question of Federal ] #vestigators, What are you going to b about it? which was the same ling as asking the American people hat they were going to do about it. he Federal investigators were at a ken no violation of the interstate bmmerce laws. The American peo- *e in the city of Chicago through the Twice of their civic authorities pro- ,ded to place a boycott on eggs and l they adhere to the threat the spec $ators may see what the American Rople are going to do about the high 3.ices. ..-........-
 Speculators in food-stuffs, whether Re product they deal in be. potatoes, &heat, rye, eggs, or meat, operate so
 to control the law of supply and smand, a time proven theory of &onomics. By gathering in the early @rDpIv of staple articles and hording away they increase the demand and &th the increase in demand and the Rortening of supplies there are estab- Bhed the high prices. Then, when &e prices are just about right for a &ry enormous profit, the speculators #t loose their goods upon the mar &t in quantities sufficient to prevent h over-supply. This has ever been bne in the wheat market, presum- BIy upon the theory that the Ameri- #n people know nothing of such 8erations. The dealers float stories
 maged by storms, that not enough #as planted, that the demand ex- Busted the supply.
 T Because of present day prosperity %eculators have become bolder than &ual The European war, which has # date borne the weight of more sins kainst humanity than any other
 ency in a hundred years, is always L3good excuse for the high cost of liv-
 E as it is for everything else. It is
 sy to explain that the food-stuffs
 ginally intended for American con-
 mers must be shipped abroad to
 sd starving women and children,
 aereas the same food-stuffs may be #fely locked up in great storage
 uIts in Chicago awaiting the arti-
 ial advance in prices. With the pub
 ity now attending the high cost of Hing there is very likely a change
 ming. The Federal investigators
 len if they are unable to prosecute
 specified cases may point out what
 beihg done and the American peo-
 a can call for a reckoning in some Xaer Smanner. There is something g
 dically wrong with a system that all

(By James Shepard). Tell me not in mournful numbers Life is but an empty dream, Who is there that now remembers
 What those 'mournful numbers
 mean?
 Aged people know the story
 That the church bells used to tell; When some one had gone to glory,
 Then the sexton tolled the bell. Hark! while strokes of solemn ring
 ing
 From the bell uncounted fall, News of death those strokes are
 bringing,
 News that reaches one and all Silent then, while all make ready
 For the numbers yet to come; Mournful numbers, slow and steady, Pausing when to ten they run. Other tens may then be sounded
 With pause for every ten, Till the full tens all are sounded, Less than ten is counted then. Every hamlet had it's church bell, Few there were with more than one, Then they knew their difference we'll By each bells peculiar tone. All the people knew each other, Knew if they were sick or well, Knew which bell, when life was over, Would their well known ages tell How they thought of every person Who was likely to depart, Guessed that it was this or that one As those mournful sounds did start. If perchance the numbers sounded On beyond the age so guessed, Other guesses then abounded
 On some higher age to rest. When at last the final number
 Gave the years of life thus flown Then the name of one in slumber All were ready to make known. Now no tolling bells remind us Of the end of lines sublime, May there finger yet behind us Memories of. olden time.

The result is a gradual weakening of the blood forces; the liver becomes sluggish; biliousness asserts itself; we become heavy, dull and develop Q more or less nervous fear of anything we undertake. The more this waste accumulates the more we are affected until at last we BECOME REALLY ILL and incapacitated.
 Now the Internal Bath by means of the "J B. l.. Cascade Is the one process with the assistance of simple warm water proper ly introduced in & new and natural way that will keep the colon as clean and sweet and pure as Nature demands 1t to be for perfect health.
 Enlightened physicians by thousands are prescribing this new method, which is fully explained in little book called why Man of Today Is Only 50% Efficient" by Dr. Chas. A. Tyrrell of New York, who is a spe- cialist this subject
 You can obtain one of these free upon re- quest at Liggetts Riker-Hegeman's where the y. B. L. Cascade" will also be shown and explained. It explains just why this method has proven superior to any other for removing this troublesome waste; how the 'J. B. l.. Cascade" gives the bath in the most natural and effective way, also many other interesting facts and statistics which cannot be touched on here.
 So If you are nearly we'll and want to get really up to concert pitch," if you want to feel consistently bright, confident, ambitious and enthusiastic--in fact, no matter what your condition sick, or well, the experience of other hundreds of thousands would prove it worth your while to at least call at one of our stores and get free copy of this val uable book, and look further into this method and it's history.

What Is
 an Internal Bath !?

NHU HI has been said and written about lWb the present generation living
 natural lives and being, for that son, only half energetic, enthusiastic, ambitious healthy it should be. And this is so
 The confined lives that live, the lack of constant exercise (for it must be constant to be effective) and the strenuous requirements bring condition to which little attention has been paid in the past, though 1t does more to rob us of power spirit and ambition than other thing known to medicine But Nature has provided as in so many other cases, an irnm ediate and perfectly tural relief for this condition, and over five hundred thousand Americans are already taking advantage of it.
 When you are i'll and physician is called, the first step that he takes, NO MATTER to clean out the colon (large intestne.).
 There two for this:
 One Is that medicine will take little or no effect while there Is waste matter in the colon. The other and MOST SIGNIFICANT REASON IS that if the colon did not contain this waste, 1t Is safe to say that you WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ILL AT ALL.
 The penalty for the lives we live is agreed by all physicians to be the elogging up of our coons with waste matter which the sys- tenn does not voluntarily carry off. This waste Is extremely poisonous; the blood circulation comes in sufficiently close contact with this waste to take up these poi :" by absorption and distribute them throughout the body
