RESERVE AMENDMENTS
SENT THE PRESIDENT
Changes in Banking Law Agreed to
by Senate and Now Await Action
at White House.

The Senate agreed yesterday afternoon
to the conference report on the bill amend
ing the federal reserve act and the meas
ure now goes to the President for his sig
nature. The amendments are designed to
strengthen the financial system of the
country by the concentration of gold re-
serves in federal reserve banks and to
open the doors Of the federal reserve sys-
TEN to state banks and trust companies
The first effect Of the changes, it is
believed. will be the shifting of more than
300,000,000 in reserves from the banks
of the country to the federal reserve
banks, where the great store of gold will
be in Il position to achieve it's maximum
efficiency. The effect of this shift. officials
believe, will be of incalculable benefit to
the financial system of the country at
this time. when the strain of heavy with
drawals from the money ma rkets to meet
installments on the liberty loan impends
Under the existing law the banks
portion of their reserves with other
banks to the federal reserve banks The
amendments advance the date. and the
diversion of this gold to the reserve
banks is ordered at once
Hundreds of large trust companies
and state banks which heretofore have
remained outside the fold are expected
to come in under the amendments
These institutions will bring into the
reserve system many hundreds of mil
lions of additional reserve. With their
addition officials believe that the fnan-
cial system of the country will be as
nearly impregnable as human ingenu-
ityc can make it.
The so-called Hardwick amendment,
which provided for the legalization,
under certain conditions, of collec-
ton charge on checks cashed by mem
Der banks on out-of-town banks was
modified SO that such charge cannot
be collected except with the approval
of the board.

BOARD TO TEST UTILITY
OF ARMY FIELD KITCHEN
Designed for Cooking Food While

Moving.

board of officers consisting of Capt.
w. H. Point. Quarternaster Corps;
capt. William NJ. Hughes. jr.. general
staff and Capt Campbell g. Hodges has
convened in this city to consider and
report upon the suitability of rolling
kitchens for the army. These kitchens
are manufactured at jefferson, Ind.
and are shipped to Washington bar
racks for the test. In the respect of
field kitchens the United States Army
is far behind the European armies for
years there has been agitation for field
kitchens of some kind. in which food

set up before the cooking of a meal
can be done.
AS most of the field operations of the
army has been in a climate where
warm food is not essential to the
health of the men, there has been no
great demand for a travelling kitchen
such as is now proposed With the
probability of hard service in the cold

however. the need of such travelling
kitchens has become of the first i'm

Russian Situation Improved.

STOCKHOLM, June 19-The situation
In Russia has improved -noticeably in
the last two months, In the opinion of
Albert Thomas, French minister of
munitions. who, with other entente rep
fesentat1ves of labor interests, has been
on mission to Petrograd The coun-
trys leadership Is no longer dual in
such great measure, and the govern
ments power and influence have in
creased. Mr. Thomas reported.
Ihe situation. according to the French
minister's view, is still precarious in
many respects. but it is far from des-
perate. The influence of the agitator
I.enlne and his followers has passed
the hlgh-water mark. and is now de-
Ginning.
MI. Thomas expressed the belief that
the resumption of the Russian military
offensive was quite possible, unless un-
expected things should happen. The
greatest danger to the government, he
sald. lay in the German propaganda
Whlch was conducted actively and in
the most extensive proportions.
Inc French minister characterized as
nienly absurd the recent report that
bfitlsh diplomatic and consular officers
had le1t Russian cities.

coupled this expression with sharp re-
pudiation of any idea of a separate
peace for Russia.
I'VE desire to hasten the conclusion
of a new treaty. in which the principles
proclaimed by the Russian democracy
will be recognized as the basis of the
international policy of the allies" said
NJ. Tseretelli in his address. Let US
employ all possible means to the end
that our program may agree with that
of all the allied governments SO as to
avoid a rupture with our allies.
Let us reflect that the worst result of
our struggle for universal peace would
be a separate peace with Germany, which
would destroy the results of the Russian
revolution and prove disastrous to the
cause of international democracy. y sep
arate peace is, in fact. impossible. Such
peace would bring Russia into a new
war on the side of the German coalition
and would mean leaving one coalition only
to enter into another"

the civil war. died in the Baptist
Hospital. at Jackson. on August
%, 1917. He was 81 years old
on August /.
He had received the very best
surgical attention and was ap-
parently doing well. His son
was giving him a little recreation
in a rolling chair, when he sud-
denly expired.
He was a member of Co. |,
9th Mississippi Regiment, and
was a splendid soldier; and was
always in ranks when a battle
was on. He lived an honest, up
right, conscientious life, even in
camp; was a good citizen and a
devoted husband. He and his
good wife reared a family of
children of whom any father and
mother might we'll be proud. He
was a consistent christian, a
member of the Shiloh Methodist
church. at which place his body
was laid to rest, August Oath,
until Jesus shall come again.
"For if we believe that Jesus
died and rose again, even so
them also which sleep in Jesus
will God bring with Him. "-1

"Sixty-eight per cent Of the

like it, but the truest, the purest,
the finest men and women in
America are south of the Mason
and Dixon line. That's the rea-
son it took thirty millions to lick
six millions. There's more pure
blooded Americans south of the
Mason and Dixon line than any
where else in this country.
That's why SO many of them are
christians. | say that even if
my old daddy was one of the
boys in blue and fought against
them. They were hard to lick
because they were real Ameri-
cans. South of the Mason and
Dixon line they have got the
North licked to a frazzle in re-
ligion and morals"
