WASHINGTON. Jan. 4.-The in

Austro- Hungary since the beginning
of the war is s.455,OOO,OOO. the
federal reserve board estimates. The
entente share is twenty-nine billions.
and twenty billions that of the cen
trail powers. The estimate is approx
mate and does not cover the actual
cost, which was much larger through
revenues raised by internal taxation.
The federal reserve monthly bulle-
tin discloses that amendments to
banking law governing reserves, re-
Gently transmitted to congress, are
intended to aid in controlling the
great flow of gold into this country
and connected with the boards re-
cent warning against bank invest
ments in foreign war obligations. The
order points out that the inflow of
gold cannot be considered menace
provided satisfactory provision is
made for control of the movement
and accumulation. This can be
accomplished by wiping out fictitious
reserves carried in the form of re-
serve balances and rearranging the
reserve requirements of the country
to place all reserve funds in the
hands of the reserve banks them
selves.
