Insists-Upon Armenia Mandate

The Senate has been assured that
President Wilson will insist upon ac-
cep.a by the United States Of The
mandate for Armeni1. The Only sent
iment expressed by the Senate is con-
tanned in a resolution favorab!y r.
ported by the Committee on Foreign
Relations in which Armenia is con-
graduated upon the attainment Of her
independence. The resolution also re-
quests that the President send war
ship and a force Of marines to protect
American lives and property along the
railroads between the port Of Batum
and Baku. Opposition in the Senate
to President Wilson's demand that the
United States accept the mandate will
depend on the official repor. of the
Presidential mission to Armenia which
was headed by Nj jor General James
G. Harbord. The Harbord report
stated that the mandate would cost
the United States about S756 900. 900
and that the cost the first year would
be SS5 100000 General Harbord said
that at least two divisions of Ameri-
can troops, about $4,000 men. would
be required if the mandate is accept
ed. The mission spent several months
in Armenia gathering information as
to conditions.

WASHINGTON NOTES
Where WINS EuIfiIIment?

Washington, May Pa challenge
to the Democrats to itemize their
boastcd fulfillmelt Of promises. was
issued taoday by the Republican Pub
licity Association, in statement given
out by the president Of that organiza-
tion, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr. The
statement quotes a Democratic State
Chairman's assertion that Then Will
son came ard party promises became
fruitful" Commenting upon this
boast, the Republican challenge says:
Fruitful indeed, but fruitful Of
what? Certainly not fruitful Of full
fillment of promises, for that same
Democratic chairman cannot take the
promises of the 1912 platform on
which President Wilson came into
power and point out wherein they have
been fulfilled.
Here are the chief promises, in the
order they appear in the platform, and
the manner of their fulfillment:
81. Revision of the tariff without
injury to any legitimate induatry. Re

The Scarcity of Capital

The credit situation all over the
world shows signs Of the increasing
pressure for money. The Bank of
England discount rate was raised from
to per cent, the Bank of France
from 5 to 6, the Bank of Sweden rate
to 7, the Bank of Finland from 7
to8, the Bombay rate from to 8. The
Bank of Japan rate has been at 8 per
cent since last November.
With production limited, due to short
hours lowered labor efficiency, and
with the people trying to buy more
goods than there are in existence, and
seeking in desperation to make credit
take the place of capital in production,
there is great pressure on the banks
for accommodations. They have been
doing their best to stem the tide and
hold this nation on an even keel. The
rise in bank rates represents an effort
to check the further initiation Of credit
The age old law Of work or starve
will eventually bring the world up
with sharp jerk.

GREAT CROWDS AT,TABERNACLE
Yesterdays Meetings Break Records.


The union evangelistic campaign
continues to gain in influences. Yes
terday saw the largest attendance to
date in all the services of the day. The
cottage prayer meetings in the morn
ing showed marked increase as did the
business mems meeting at Marx and
Wheeler's grocery store. The great
est crowd of the campaign to date
heard Evangelist Rayburn last night.
The big tabernacle was crowded to the
doors. Every available seat was oc-
cupied and scores of people stood at
the back of the building and around
vacant spaces at the front. Boys oc-
cupicd the steps of the platform. 1t
was great service in every way. Mr..
Rayburn preached a great sermon 10
the packed house ard although it was
a long service the people stayed thru
out. About fifty confe essions of faith
were made at the close Of the meeting.
Tonight Mr.. Rayburn will speak on
Heaven" He said last night this
is subject that | delight to preach
on, enjoy it and ! hope you will"
Thursday afternoon he will speak TO
women on "Womanhood." Thursday
morning Mr. Rayburn will speak to
men and boys at the Fox Smoke House
and Pool Hall. This is the meeting at
which he will tell the famous story Of
Jack Savage. said to be by men who
have heard him tell it, the most thrill
ing story they have ever heard told.
1t is a story from Mr.. Rayburn's own
experience in the west.
The program for the rest of the
campaign is the very best that can be
given in any campaign Of this kind.
Friday morning Mr. Rayburn will give
his BLACK Board Talk" to men and
boys.
Sunday is to be the big day Of the
campaign. n tha morning the cub
ject will be THE Church" To this
service cordial invitation has been
extended to all the secret orders of
the city. Reservations will be made
for the lodges asking for IT, In the
evening the subject will he THE Sec
ond Coming of Christ" Mr.. Rayburn
says "it is pity that we have left
this doctrine to a lot of cranks to med
die with. The church ought to give
more attention to it."
The singing Of the big choir at the
tabernacle is much enjoyed Mr.. Tolle
who leads the singing and is soloist
is doing excellent work. He is much
appreciated and enjoyed by the folks
who have come to know him here. If
there is anyone in this city that has
not heard him they have missed hear
ing one Of the best soloists that has
ever visited this city
Delegations from surrounding towns
are coming every night TO the taber-
nacle. Last night there were some
from as far away as Las Animas.

Reserve Position
OF Federal Bank
Is Strengthened
Strategic Bookkeeping Op-
erations Help at the Time
Crop Moving Makes "a
Heavy Strain ON Credits

BY strategic bookkeeping operations
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
was yesterday able to report an i'm
provement in its reserve position. The
ratio of reserves TO deposit and note
liabilities combined rose from 1856 per
cent to 80. 5pcr cent, and the ratio
against deposits, after deducting 40
per cent reserve against notes, crept
up from 36.S per cent to 38.9 per cent
This Improvement, at a time when
the movement of products of the soil
is placing heavy strain on the bank
ing system, was accomplished mainly
by three accounting devices, one Of
which was commented on by the bank
in an explanation of the statement is
sued for the guidance Of the press
The main job Of the bank was to aug
ment its credits at the gold settlement
fund at Washington, which has been
we'll depleted by the seasonal move
ment of funds.
Besides repeating last weeks meth
DDS of rediscounting commercial paper
with other Federal Reserve banks and
transferring gold ultimately from the
"gold and gold certificates" item to the
credit Of the bank in the gold settle
ment fund, a third method was en-
ployed. Anticipating the readjustment
of funds which is expected on Septem-
ber Is in connection with tax pay
ments and the redemption throughout
the country of $780, 100000 of certif-
Gates of indebtedness, the Federal Re-
serve Bank Of New York purchased for
the account of certain other Federal
Reserve banks a substantial amount of
New-York tribune., 1920-09-12

certihcatcs due on that date which were
held by member banks in New York
Nearly $400,000,0O0, an unusually large
proportion. of this issue was held in
TINS district, and the transactions were
made to correct this dsproportionatc
dlstrbution. With the proceeds banks
IN New York were enabled to reduce
their loans at the FEDERAL Reserve
Bank here, and the latter received
credit, 1T was explained, from other
Federal Reserve banks throughout the
gold settlement fund for the amount
sold. The operation, according to the
bank, affected favorably the reserve
position of the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York.
AS result the borrowings of mem
Der banks showed sharp reduction
and rediscounts were smaller than
thosc Of a week ago. Against these
declines there were no offsettinp in
eereases among the earning assets of
the bank, with the exception of gain
of $8,0o0.o0o of bills bought in the
open market.
The Clearing House banks reported a.
decrease in loans and discounts of s1e,-
1000 and an increase of s24,26O 900
of net demand deposits. The banks.
however, reduced their borrowings at
the Reserve Bank, and their aggregate
rcseve revealed a decline of s1,863 .62O,

The Dollar i'm Foreign EXCHANGE

The actions Of the French Treasury
will perhaps be the main influences in
the foreign exchange markbet during
the next month. Until it has com
pleted its purchase of dollar exchange
to bring its credits in this country up
to $250,00O,000 to meet it's half of the
Anglo-French loan which natures on
October Is, the European exchanges
may be expected to, be easy in ten
dency. Toward the close of the week
sterling reached new low for the
movement, and the decline was at
tributed by dealers purchases of dol
lars through the sale of sterling by
the French government
On the other hand, by shipping large
quantities of gold to this country,
France is likely to import strength to
the European exchanges. A shipment
OF $4,O00,000 of gold is already on the
water. another $16,000,0OO is ready
waiting for ships, and the entire flow
IS expected to reach at least S5O,OOO.-
