it cannot be long postponed,

Jaroslau, an important fortress
taken by Russia' several weeks

A dispatch from Nish says
that acting on instructions
from the German general staff,
Austria has concentrated on

greatest army yet sent against
Servia, in a final and supreme

Fierce outpost skirmishes al

- Extraordinary Power Is
Given to One Man.
Richmond, Oct. 14. Discussion of
the nation's new currency system to
day marked the first general session of
the American Bankers association,
"Only the wisdom of management by
the directors and officers of the vari
ous reserve banks and of the federal
reserve board can insure the success
of the experiment," declared Arthur
Reynolds, president of the association,
in his annual address.
"It has been popularly supposed,
Mr. Reynolds continued, "that with
the opening of the federal reserve
banks government . funds would be
deposited in those banks and the in
dependent! treasury system and Its
consequent expense both to the gov
ernment and the business of the coun
try would bo a thing of the past
"A careful reading of the law, how

If government funds are deposited In
those banks or if they are appointed
fiscal agent are deposited in these
banks or if they are appointed fiscal
agents for the government. It will be
at the discretion of the secretary of
the treasury alone, and that the bill
docs not provide for the abolition of
the present system.
"It Is a Just criticism of the meas
ure to say that It does not take the
government out of the banking busi
ness, and that it confers on one your
government officials an extraordolnary
power and discretion unwarranted by
the spirit of our institutions and re
pugnant to republican principles."

the outcome of argument today bo-

The specific case presented to the

The Oklahoma court are divided as

Mexico City, Oct. 12. By Courier
to Vera Cruz, Oct. 14.) The Mexico
tramways company lines were seized
by the Carranza government today at
the point of the bayonet.. T
Washington, Oct. 14. Secretary
Garrison today telegraphed Governor
Hunt of Arizona that the dispatch of
state militia to Naco or Douglas, as
proposed by Arizona officials, was
unnecessary and would greatly com
plicate the border situation.
Mr. Garrison said the United
States border forces were capable of
doing everything possible short of ac
tual entry into Mexico to protect the
American lives and property from the
danger to which they are exposed by
the fighting of the Mexican factions
across the line.
We have at the present time at
Naco fourteen troops of cavalry and
two machine gun companies," the sec
retary's message said. "General Bliss
reports to me that If the local influ
ential men of Naco will help allay the
excitement It will greatly aid in
handling a delicate situation. One of
the greatest embarrassments arises
from the activity of the inhabitants
of Naco, Ariz., and o surrounding
places who attempt to get near the
boundary line to observe the fight
ing. "We are doing everything short ot
invading Mexico and driving the com
batantB away by, force that we possi
bly can do. Additional troops would
not be of any use to us In doing what
is proper for u to do under the cir
cumstances. Were you to send state
troops to Naco it could only have
the effect of further complicating the
situation and adding a new element of
risk. It would also introduce the
great peril which arises out of divid
ed responsibility. An HI considered
move on our sde may precipitate an
armed conflict between the American
forces and the Mexicans with ultimate
consequences that no one can fore
see.
"The president Is advised of the
contents of this meesaKe and concurs
with what is said herein."
