Vigorously Exposed
German Agents

:.
The furry caused by their work has
passed. The resentment, always
smculdering. against the lynching of
negroes has been quieted by the Presi-
dents proclamation and the way in
which it has been received throughout
the. country Negro leaders every
where have been constantly active in
waning their people that now, of ali
times, was not the time TO let race
feeling get the better of them, and
they have carefully and vigorously ex-
posed the German agents and their
claims
Perhaps the most pestiferous OF all
the German propagandists was a man
named Freudenhelmer, who worked
among the negroes in Harlem. He was
reported to the government by negroes,
and twenty Of them aided by their
testimony IN the conviction which
brought him a twenty-year sentence.
The result Of the negro leaders work
shows in the fact that though thery
haee been some $500 persons charged
With dislo7al u-terances not one is a
negro. Nor was there a negro among
he twenty-chree who have been
;harged with writing threatening let

The sacrifices the negroes are making
to-day are more pronounced than at
any TINE IN his history. and if some Of
the figures do not look large, let it be
remembered that the race is barely half
century from slavery and that his
means are slender. The negro believes
that ne is an integral part Of thi. coun-

America ne should be the last to fall

Business Prospect Is
Theme at Convention

Detroit, April 25-Business pros
poets, both present and future, but
more particularly the outlook for
after the war, was the dominant
theme of addresses delivered today
at the opening session OF the third
annual worlds salesmanship con-
greSS here.
Some of the things Canada has
accomplished during the war times
were told OF by W. J. Steedman, in
surance man of Montreal. After
describing the business effect OF the
sudden declaration OF war, he told
how Canada in 1917 produced its
first field crops that exceeded bill
lion dollars in value
Her total trade tor the year,
he said, was two and a quarter
billions; her exports OF maEutactur-
ed goods SAT- 100000 and bank clear
ingS for the year were Sl2,552,800-
J0O.'
Besides making rapid strides in
business, Canada for long time
has been spending for war purposes
about a million dollars a day; has
enlisted more than a million men
for military service subscribed
three-quarters of billion dollars for
Canadian war loans and millions to
loans of allied countries. And
Canada's business is still carrying
on as he expressed it, He urged
preparation now ior the trade riy-
airy that will spring up when the
seas are again open to Germany.
The one positive remedy for pres
ent industrial ills, in the opinion Of
". {. Mclaughlin, of Cincinnati,
is intelligent cooperation OF all in
dustries with the government
There must be economy of the in
diyidual in all nonessentials ii Am
erica is to win the war he added.

The bill embodies penal sections re-
lating to the over-certihcation OF
checks. embezzlement, abstraction
or wilful misappication Of moneys,
funds or credits OF federal reserve
banks by their officers, agents or
employees and to false entries by
them. While this penalization now
exists as to national banks, there
are no present laws covering the
subject in federal reserve banks.

VITAL CHANGES IN u. S.
BANK LAWS IMPENDING
Deal With Election of Directors
and Other Changes.

Washington, April 2S.--lmportant
changes in the federal reserve bank
laws are pending in the house. They
deal with the election Of directors,
permission for national banks to act
as in hduciary capacities, authority
to issue new denomination OF fed
cral bank notes, reserve require
ments and other matters yitally at
fecting banking operations.
All these changes are proposed
III a bill based on administration
recommendations and have been ia
vorably reported from the banking
and currency committee by Repre-
sentative Phelan of Massachusetts,
Under the provisions Of the bill the
present law is to be modified 50 as
to leave to the discretion OF the
Federal Reserve board the grouping
Of the member banks of each dis
trict into three general groups or
divisions without the present re-
quirement that each group shall
contain as nearly as may be one
third Of the aggregate number of
the banks Of the district. The pur-
pose of this modification is to make
as secure as possible a fair and equal
representation on the directorate OF
the federal reserve banks for each
group of banks, the large, medium
sized and small banks.
1t also proposed to replace the
present ballot method OF electing a
district reserve elector, by a pro-
vision permitting each member
bank to authorize its president or
other officer to cast its vote in such
elections. The aim is to obtain
wider participation by the banks in
the election OF federal reserve bank
directors.
National banks now act in hduci-
ary capacities when not in contra
vention of state or local laws. The
bill extends these fiduciary capaci-
ties so as to include guardian Of
estates, assignee, receiver, committee
OF estates OF lunatics," and other fl
duciary capacities permitted to state
banks, trust companies or other cor
porations which compete with ma
tional banks under the laws OF the
states in which the particular ma
tional bank making application is
located.
Issue OF federal reserve notes in
denominations OF $500, $1,000, S.
600 and $4,000 in addition to the
denominations under present law,
the largest of which is only $l00, is
proposed by the bill. Banks are
constantly seeking notes Of larger
denominations and there are daily
Withdrawals OF gold certificates from
the federal reserve banks. 1t is
asserted that federal reserve notes
of large denominations were issued,
according to the currency committee
the federal reserve banks can pay
out such federal reserve notes and
by holding their gold certificates
conserve their all-important gold
supply.
a practice whereby any officer,
director, employe or attorney of a
bank stipulates for, or receives, a
commission or some other thing OF
value for procuring for someone
else loan or the purchase or dis
count of paper or similar obligation
is to be prohibited under the bill.
The payment of a greater rate of
interest to any director, officer, at
torney or other employe than to

Detroit. Micha April 24.-The in

tunity should be extended to the

Oden, sales expert OF one OF the
couatry's large typewriter manuiac-
turing companies, who spoke here
tonight at the third annual session
Of the worlds salesmanship con-
gress.
"A nation is only an aggregation

it is the small investor by his in

iorded Il chance to buy war securi-
ties and become an active factor in
winning the war.
Mr.. Oden's topic was: Must the
War be Waged Entirely on Present
Earnings, Not Sayings?" lie urged
judicious economy by the individual
as we'll as industry. Continuing he
said:
I'VE must keep our industries and
commercial interests alive; to neg
Iect this would be to jeopardize our
future prosperity He appealed for
whoIe-hearted support of the Amer
leans called to war, and added:
Every demand made upon us by
our president for service, for time,
or for money must be met; and he
must be assured that his hands are
upheld at all times by every loyal
American."
