been received here by an American

which was the birthplace Of Francisco

have no Information about the taking
of this town.

moving eastward from Torreon in the
direction of Monterey after capturing

Will Promote Better Feeling.

The first effect, it is thought, will be
noticeable in transactions which might
otherwise involve the expectation of
gold from this country. as the connec-
ton with the Bank of England will
afford channel through which Ameri-
can banks can readily purchase British
notes and securities to meet any tend
ency toward gold expectation 1t also
will tend officials believe to bring
about better feeling and understand
ing between the bankers of the two
countries Whether operations through
the connection will be extensive, officials
admit. Is difficult of forecast. They
might be on tremendous scale, it was
said, and on the other hand, might be
comparatively light in volume.
The effect of the relationship, prob
ably, will be studied carefully before
similar authorizations are made in the
case Of other government-controlled
banks abroad

BANK Of ENGLAND
TOBE j. S. AGENT
Appointment Authorized by
Federal Reserve Board Step
Toward New Financial Era.


York city has been authorized by tho
Bank of England as its foreign cor
respondent. Similar connection with
the Bank of France and other foreign
governmental financial institutions. In
tho view Of financiers, is foreshadowed
by this action.
This is the first formal step looking
to the establishment of financial con-
nections abroad. Through these agen-
cies 1t is hoped to strengthen the po-
sition of the United States as world
banker and to maintain the American
dollar as the standard Of exchange.
The announcement OF the federal re-
serve board authorizes the eleven other
federal reserve banks of the system
to participate in the benefits of the
agency relations.
Boards Official Statement.
In it's statement announcing the ac-
ton the board said:
"The federal reserve board has au-
thorized the federal reserve bank of
New York to appoint as one Of its for
eign correspondents and agents the
Bank of England, London, England.
under the terms OF the federal re-
serve act.
federal reserve bank. with the consent
of the federal reserve board. to open
and maintain banking accounts in for
eign countries, appoint correspondents
and establish agencies in such coun-
tries wheresoever II may deem best for
collecting bills Of exchange and to buy
and sell, with or without its indorse-
ment, through such correspondents or
agencies bills Of exchange arising out OF
actual commercial transactions. 80 that a
broad field of operations is possible
under It..
I'm granting the authority to estab-
lish this agency the board has author
ICED the federal reserve bank of New
York to maintain accounts either for
or with the Bank of England. so that
operations both in England and in the
United States are possible
Other Banks to Participate.
"Other federal reserve banks may
with the Bank of England upon the
same terms and conditions that will
govern the federal reserve bank of
New York. if they SO DESIRE"
In addition to being the first step by
the government toward going after
foreign business, 1t is understood that
authorization Of this appointment Is a
part Of general plans for establishing
financial connections that will strength
en- the United States as a creditor ma
ton in the commercial competition
which probably will result when the
war closes. and to provide a ready
means to effect any tendency on the
part of foreign bankers to withdraw
the huge supply Of gold accumulated
here during the war.
The action marks radical departure
from the previous financial policy of
the country, inasmuch as 1t places the
governments of the United States and
Great Britain. for the first time. in di-
rect, continual financial relationship.

they have resided, in Oskaloosa where

q company of about thirty of his
| friends, neighbors and associates for
Sunday dinner at his home, No sos
G avenue west. Sunday, and to OBJ
serve the occasion in an informal
way. And the, response was full
handed and hearty. Be it known
that Mrs. Stringfellow is cook of
ability and reputation and the repast
lshe spread before the guests was in
keeping with the renown of her table.
Such a menu as the placed upon her
board is not given to the experience
of mortal man every day in the week
and the company did full justice to
the spread. There was an abund-
ance of the incest chicken and dress
ing done to a turn, and with it, all of

the best thing of the kind to be had

were expressions of congratulatfon
from the numerous members of the
company. Mr.. and Mrs. Stringfel-
low were overcome with the surprise
attendant upon the coup of their
guests. They were wholly unpre-
: pared for anything of this kind. but
be it said to their credit that. under
the circumstances, they deported
themselves in becoming and seemly
fashion. Upon the spur of the mo-
ment they may not have been able to
say just the things they would have
said, had it not been so sudden; in
fact, afterwards they both thought of
things that would have sounded nice,
coming from them under the circum

white ribbons, rediating from point
in the center of the orchestra balcony
and terminating at all points about
the room to form the sunbuTst. The
entire north side of the room was
treated in the same effective way, IN
fact the whole effect carried out the
