Hawaii's Ex-Queen Dying
Liliuokalani Long Hated u. S.,
but Bought Liberty Bonds

HONOLULU, Nov. 9.-The condition
Of ex-Queen Liliuokalani is critical.
There is little hope of her recovery,
her physician said to-day.
The former queen has been in poor
health many months. Recently she
seemed to lose all Of the antipathy she
felt toward the United States for the
loss Of her kingdom, and when the first
Liberty Loan was offered she sub
scribed literally.
Some time ago her picturesque audi
ences. at which she received few except
old adherents, were suspended because
Of her illness but these were later re-
sumed. The ancient state was main
tanned to some extent and the shadow
of a human being never was allowed to
cross the royal presence.

found the head detectives had rowed
along the shore of the Passaic, inspect

Board Against 60
Day Note Renewals
Federal Reserve Officials Warn
Banks Such Transactions
Are Undesirable

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-ln a state
ment tonight the federal Reserve
Board said its attention had been di-
rected to plans to have banks hnance
corporations by series OF ninety day
notes. to be renewed over a period Of
two years, and that "the board deemed
it proper to make public its opinion
that renewal agreements of this nature
destroy the seif-liquidating character
of the notes and render them undesir-
able as investments in Federal Reserve
banks"
"This opinion" the statement said,
ais in harmony with the boards ruling
made about a Year ago in the case Of
certain acceptances credits, in connec-
ton with which the board stressed the
point that the discount market, which
Is intended to deal with short term
and commercial borrowings, should not
be made to exercise functions properly

Government Asks Large
Purchasers to Interest
Small Buyers
Continuous Campaign
Last Subscription Made With
out Straining Resources
of the Country

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-Plans for
continuing the Liberty Loan financing
between periods of intensive cam
paigns, through disposal of bonds by
banks and other large purchasers 70
individuals who have not already SUD
scribed 20 the extent Of their ability,
were formulated to-day by governors
of the twelve district Reserve banks
in conference with Secretary McAdoo
and the Federal Reserve Board.
As one detail OF comprehensive
scheme for preparing the nation TO alb
sorb other war loans, the Reserve banks
will urge that member banks dispose
of Liberty bonds now held by them, Try
ing particularly TO place them with
farmers. To assist in this movement,
the governors suggested that the gov
eminent maintain an active puonclty
system to emphasize the need OF pond
buying by persons OF small means.
The governors were virtually unanl-
nous in declaring that the S4,6i7 ,OOO,-
600 subscriptions to the second loan
were made without straining the finan-
cial resources of the country. They eX-
pressed the belief that another loan Of
big proportions could be absorbed
easily whenever Secretary NcAdoo
might decide to issue it, probably some
time after the first OF the new year.
The large number of subscribers for
bonds Of small denominations indicates
that the great reservoir Of small saw
ings has been opened freely TO the war
loan, and augurs well for the future,
the governors reported.
A strong influence contributing to
the present decline in the stock mar
ket, according to the governors, is the
recent sale Of private securities by
persons who felt it patriotic duty TO
raise money for Liberty bonds. Efforts
should be made in the next loan cam,
paign, it was suggested, to prevent
over-enthusiasm, which might cause
abnormal disturbances to commercial
financiering necessary to preserve the
pa+ion,g aconon,ic health in war time.
