This wise policy has already made

the pound sterling as the common

These twelve Federal Reserve banks
have given to the people of each Of
7 the twelve Federal Reserve Districts
an independent financial organization
of their own, supervised by the Fed

eminent board at Washington, and as
sure to them control Of heir own af-
fairs and a sufficiency and stability
of credit at reasonable rates Of inter-
est throughout every month Of the
year. No longer are the people of
these twelve Federal Reserve Districts
the financial vassals of a small and
powerful group of Wall street men,
Now, what have Mr. Hughes and
the Republican party had to say about
the Federal Reserve System? Not a
word of praise; not a single intima-
ton of generous recognition of
splendid piece Of work well done; on
the contrary, only petty and carping
criticism. Mr.. Hughes has, by i'm
plication, condemned the Federal Re-
serve System. If elected, does he in
tend to repeal it? I believe he does.
1 believe that he and the Republican
party intend to destroy the twelve
Federal Reserve Banks move stablish-
ed and to substitute therefore one CEN
trail bank located in Wall street, and
to re-establish through that central
bank the control by Wall street of the

adequate credit facilities and efficient
credit machinery. The Federal Re-
serve Act has supplied both. For the
first time in our history business men
know that they can get> ample credit
whenever they need it for wholesome
and legitimate business; they know
that these credits are now elastic and
automatically responsive to the bust
ness needs Of the country; they know
that they can now engage in business
enterprises and undertakings with the
certainty that essential credit is avail
able at all times and at lower rates
of interest than ever before known;
they know that they can go forward
in the development of the business
and resources of this country with
confidence; they know that they no
longer have to fear the annual fall
stringency in money, the widely fluc-
tuating, and extortionate rates of in
terest and the deadly and paralyzing
uncertainty as to whether credit could
be had at any price and on any terms
which characterized our financial sys-

know that panics can no longer
threaten and that the credit resources
Of the country are no longer under
the control Of a small but powerful
group in Wall street who, prior to the
passage of the Federal Reserve Act,
controlled and dispensed credit as

Columbus, N. M.-The commanding
officers of the expeditionary force
gave orders Wednesday that the men
should take with them only such equip
ment as they could carry on their

These orders were intended to limit

for the guns.
Large quantities of ammunition for
the mountain howitzers and field guns

from Mexico Wednesday that the de

$4,000 a Day Is Cost Of
Pursuit Of Mexican Bandit Villa

Ell Paso, Textile United States
pursuit of Villa, under present ar
rangements, is costing the government
$40, 900 day, according to estimates
made here Saturday by army officers.
Carranza officials, it was learned,
have been discussing with some con-
Germ whether American troops during
the Villa pursuit would have to occupy
any Mexican cities and the effect of
such occupation on Mexican public SEN
timent. The Carranza officers have
frankly expressed the hope that the
garrisoning of the cities can be left to
their own troops.
The American army's choice of the
Chihuahua desert as its place of entry
precludes for the present such a prob
lem as city garrison duty.

Blame Denied by Berlin.

Berlin-No German submarine could
have been in the vicinity of the spot
where the Dutch liner Tubantia was
sunk, and no German mines had been
laid in this region, the German ad-
miralty announces. The official state
ment says: "a German submarine is
out of the question in connection with
the sinking of the Tubantia, as the
place where the accident took place is
less than 80 miles from the Dutch
coast, which means that this place is
within the territory declared to be not
dangerous for shipping by the mani
festo of February 4, 1915"

SStrid Council Order DIE Soon
to Relieve Shipping.
IMPORTS FROM U. S. TO BE CURTAlfD
All Space in Vessels Now Needed for
Necessities = Autos, Musical
instruments, Cutlery, Hit.

London--A far-reaching order ir
council, which will totally prohibit i'm.
portation into the United Kingdom OF
large number Of articles which come
under the general heading of Injuries,
will be issued by the British govern.
ment at an early date.
Among the things which will be
placed under the ban will be automo-
biles for private use, musical instru-
ments, cutlery Of all kinds, hardware,
yarns, chinaware, fancy goods and
soaps. The order will apply equally to
all countries, including the British
dominions and colonies.
This forecast of the coming order in
council was given to the Associated
Press Saturday by Walter Runciman,
president of the board of trade. Mr..
Runciman admitted that articles in ad-
dition to those named would be placed
on the list of prohibited imports. He
declared it was absolutely necessary to
limit the shipment of bulky luxuries
to provide room on ships for necessar-
les.
"But please remember" said Mr..
Runciman, "that the issuance of this
order is forced on the country-not as
a matter Of policy, but entirely be-
cause of shortage in tonnage. We
want exports from the United States
we want your wheat, cotton and meat,
and we need other things which we
cannot get if the space aboard vessels
is taken up with luxuries.
Everything possible is being done
to relieve the shortage in ships. Every
ship flying the British flag is now con-
trolled by the government. Immense
numbers of them have been requisi-
toned. Others are subject to direc-
tion by way of license. Whether it
will be necessary to requisition more
vessels I cannot say, but for my part /
hope that this will not be DONE"
Mr.. Runciman said the importation
Of some fresh fruits probably would be
prohibited later, but he pointed out
that this would affect the United
States only slightly. Turning from
the matter of imports to the general
industrial situation in the British
Isles, Mr.. Runciman said there never
had been greater activity in the larger
industries, that wages were higher
than ever before, and that the percent
age of unemployment never had been
80 small in the history of the country.

Portland-Lumber mills have beei
asked to bid on an order for 5000, 00'
feet Of trench posts and pickets fol
use by the allied powers In the wal
zone.
The posts are to be 2x4 inches ant
four feet long, sharpened at one end,
and will be used for stringing barbet
wire along the trenches. They are tt
be used on the fighting front ir
France, and delivery will have to bt
made from Portland within 80 days.
This will insure them reaching Europe,
barring marine accidents, by Septem.
ber. The order may be for all part
Of the 8, 900, 900 feet.
A large domestic order for lumber
for railroad cars has been placed with
the Douglas Fir Lumber company, OF
Portland. The order calls for 2,000,.
900 feet of fir.
The European governments are also
in the Portland market for as much
high-grade spruce as can be obtained,
it was learned on good authority here.
This spruce brings $50 to 500 thou
sand, and is for building areoplanes.
The allies agents for trench posts
have been authorized to ask for bids In
Portland and British Columbia. II is
presumed by local lumbermen, ship
owners and agents in Portland that
about 1000, 900 feet will be taken
from Portland. The posts would be
cut from Douglas FIR and tied in bum
dies of 10 to 20. The cost would be
around SIS to SIC a thousand feet,
bringing to Portland, If the order is
placed here, between $50. 900 and $75,-
900 for the 4, 200, 900 feet.
The local river mills could turn out
the order within less time than the
specifications now in Portland hands
require. The lumber posts could be
handled easily by two of the large
steamers, and the canal route could be
taken.
The domestic order which has been
placed with the Douglas Fir Lumber
company of Portland calls for 2, 000.-
900 feet of Douglas fir to be used in
the construction of 1000 automobile
cars and 500 stock car for the Chicago
& Northwestern railroad. The order
was placed by the Western Steel
Car & Foundry company, of Chicago.
1t will take 80 cars to carry it East.
E. B. Hazen, vice president of the
Douglas Fir Lumber company, said that
the order has been put in the hands
Of local and Bridal Veil mills and
would be finished in about week.
The order represents about $50, 900.
The European powers, it was estab-
lished beyond reasonable doubt, are ac-
tually seeking large spruce orders in
the Pacific Northwest, principally Ore
gon. Local lumbermen admit that
they were unable to fill the orders as
fast as they were being received. The
spruce required is of fine grade and
brings from $50 to 800 a thousand
feet. In the last two years about TO-
300, 900 feet has been taken out of the
Northwest for the construction of
aeroplanes for the European powers.
This confirmation lends considerable
,redence to the report from Marshfiled
that the Russian government was seek
ng 1000, 900 of spruce in the Coos
Bay country.

The step was suggested by the army
general staff. 1t is urgently desired
now, because of the weakening of the
border force by the expedition after
Villa, but ever since the patrol of the
border began the army has been great
ly handicapped by the skeleton organ
ization of regiments, companies,

culties, some of the companies there

Gen. Pershing and Army Start
South After Bandits.
CAUUANzA MEN JOIN AMERICAN FORCE
Orders Are to wipe Out Villa and
His Organization" Other En-
gagements Are Expected.

San Antonio, Tex.-General John J.
Pershing, with more than 1000 troops,
began the pursuit into Mexico Thurs
day of Francisco Villa. General
Pershing's report that he and his COM
mand had crossed the international
boundary line just south of Columbus
reached General Funston here. Re-
ports Of progress in the country where
the search has been begun will be
made by General Pershing to General
Funston, but it is not expected these
will be frequent or deal with any but
the more important developments.
Colonel George A. Dodd, heading
smaller column that entered Mexico
some distance west Of Columbus, also
is moving in southerly direction and
these two forces should be within
touch of each other before many days.
By that time it is expected an infantry
support will hold the line of commun-
cation along which motor trucks for
the transportation of ammunition and
supplies will be operated.
General Pershing's report Of his en-
trance into Mexico served to dispel to
a great extent fears that had been en-
tertained in some quarters that resist
ance would be offered by the troops Of
the de facto government. Colonel Ber-
tani, the commanding officer of the
Carranza garrison at Palomas, on the
gouth side Of the line, joined General
Persihng.
His force was only some 400 men,
but they were reported to have dis
played willingness and even eagerness
to join in the chase.
As body the Mexican troops will
remain under their own commander,
but several Of them are being employ
ed as scouts by General Pershing.
General Pershing has gone into Mex
leo with orders to wipe out Villa and
his organization. Unless orders to the
contrary are received from those high
er in authority than General Funston,
the campaign that has now begun will
continue until Villa is captured or
killed. No limits have been placed on
the field of operations.

Mile Limit Awaiting The

AGAIN, 1T MAY BE GONE
Despite Report Captain Koenig
May Have "Put One Over" on
The Patrol Ships-Deutsch-
land Said to Have Submerged
at Cape and Returned in Bay.

NORFOLK, Va, Aug 9.-Is the
Deutschland lying in hiding some
where in Chesapeake bay, awaiting
an opportunity to dash out to sea
after the hostile warships prowling
around in the waters outside the
three-mile limit shall have tired of
their fruitless hunt and taken their
departure?
There is current in marine circles
here persistent report that the
Deutschland has not really sailed.
and that she, after iassing through
the capes on her purported home.
ward voyage, submerged and made
her way back into the Chesapeake
bay. This report emanated from
British official circles here, and is
given strong credence by number
of men connected with marine enter
prises.
1t is argued by the supporters of
the theory that the Deutschland is
still in neutral waters that the un-
dersea craft could not possibly evade
the British and French cruisers out
side the capes. since they have on
board microphones and other equip
ment which register sound for a dis.
tance of more than ten miles, and the
throbbing of the submarines en-
gines would have been detected in
stantly. The only way for the
Deutschland to evade the hostile
cruisers, it is said would be for her
to float out to sea with her engines
silent.
The fact that the tug Thomas F..
Timmins which conveyed the Deutsch-
land from Baltimore to the capes last
Wednesday, yesterday took on large
quantity of ships stores at Baltimore
for some unrevealed purpose, adds
strength to the theory that the
Deutschland has not really sailed, but
is playing the "watchful waiting poll.
cy in some secluded spot in the
Chesapeake bay.
That the cruisers of the allies out
side the three-mile limit have not
given up hope Of running down their
quarry is evident, as they are still
doing patrol duty ten miles off the
capes. One of the cruisers was sight
ed from Cape Henry yesterday.
