That the real estate sales of 1917

 Revolutions
MUST WATCH MONEY
Enemy Aliens Fomenting Trouble with Finances Secured Through
 U. s. Banks.

WASHINGTON, June 1S-At the request of the State Department the Federal Reserve Board has warned member banks of the reserve system hat German interests in Latin-Amer- ica are seeking to obtain American funds for fomenting trouble in this hemisphere, and that all transfers )f money to neutral companies on both sides of the Atlantic much be icrutinized carefully.
 "The board is advised" says, in part, circular letter sent out to he banks, that the State Depart ment is interested in banking trans actions between this country and Mexico or other Latin-American countries, as there is some evidence it's possession that alien enemies, operating either as individuals or through the instrumentality of an American corporation or otherwise, Ire desirious of fomenting trouble between this country and other re- publics of this hemisphere. and in order to further their plans they must rely on financial assistance through the form of credits opened in their behalf in this country"
 The board suggests that each banker scrutinize accounts held by his bank for any resident alien ene- my and to report to the board any suspicious transactions. The coop eration of trust companies, state banks and private bankers, as well as express companies and telegraph companies doing a banking business in transmitting currency or credits, is asked by the board.

Eight Dutch fishermen, whose daily haul had been bringing them an average of what is the equivalent of about $l.50 for each, put out in their little yawl on the morning of April 20, and the proceeds of what came to their nets that day amounted to nearly 5000, ,000-more than S200,000 for each of them. This is not the result of any miracu- lous haul of fish, but of the scarcely less miraculous salvag- ing of a Belgian relief steam ship, which had been torpedoed q few minutes before the fisher men had come upon the scene. The story of the torpedoing and the saving of the vessel sur passes in interest almost any thing of the kind in maritime annals since the German subma- rine warfare of atrocity was in- augurated. It was told by Mi- :hael F. Sweeney, of Lowell, and William F. Ford. of Wakefield, Mass, who had been respect ively oiler and seaman aboard the tOrpedOed vessel, the Nor wegian steamship kongsli.
