MONEY IS READY
IN CASE Of WAR
$500, 100000 in Cash on
Deposit in Reserve Banks.
100000, in Reserve.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-THE ma
tons finances are modified TO meet
any situation likely 10 be presented
in the near future. in the opinion
OF the federal reserve board, whose
precautionary measures, undertaken
upon the severance of diplomatic
relations with Germany have as
sUmed concrete form and are be
lieved TO cover every contingency
that may arise.
There are at present on deposit
with federal reserve agents in the
various reserve districts approx
mately S3OO,OOO,OOO in cash and the
huge reserve of 100000, 600 is avail
able at Washington for use wherever
il may be needed. As a precaution-
airy measure, the board has request
ed the bureau of engraving and
printing To engrave large addition
al sum of reserve notes which Will
be ready for use in case the occa-
sion may arise.
Can Stand Big Strain.
An estimate by George NJ. Rey-
nolds of Chicago. that the banks
of the country are at present able
TO withstand a financial strain in
volving eight times the sum involv-
ed in the panic of 1907, is believed
by officials 10 be a correct appraisal
of the strength Of the federal reserve
system.
The heavy demands made upon
the bureau of engraving and print
ing in connection with the issuance
of new notes for the board and the
issuance Of the large volume of one
and two dollar treasury notes.-the
so-called Enthusiastically au-
thorized by Sec'y McAdoo have re
suited in the addition of approx
mately IS men 10 the bureaus staff.
Ii is possible that a force will soon
be working night and day making
the new money.
The first concern Of the board to
protect member banks against runs
by depositors of foreign birth, and
non member banks so far as posi-
BILE, virtually has passed. There have
been but few runs, il was said,
these apparently being due to the
unfounded belief Of foreign born
depositors that the government
would confiscate their bank accounts
in case of var. The issuance OF
Sec'y LansIngs recent statement
correcting this idea is said to have
dispelled the fear Of such depositors
and conditions are reported to be
virtually normal.
