Reserve Board Makes Annual

Report Showing Great Value

10 congTess today tne members of

the federal reserve board class the re

serve act as one of the most bene

ficial pieces of legislation ever en

suggestions for further legislation on

the subject

In part the report Is as follows:

A condition of remarkable ease has:

been the outstanding feature of thel

I money inaiset oi ine country during:

the first year of operation under the1

federal reserve act. Whatever other

causes may have contributed to this

result, much of it Is aue to the sta-!

billty established and-tn feeling of

security inspired, by the new bunking1

system; so much of It, indeed, as to

afford s striking vindication of the)

wisdom of the law and tne efflcienct :

of the agencies of Its administration!

even in advance of the ruller devel-l

opment of their activities even In ad-1

vance of the fuller development of

their activities. The test ol B bank-i

ing and financial system is its oper-

ation. and Its administration should1

constantly he subjected to this test. I

Mole than a year will, of curse, be

needed for this purpose.

The following are some of the pro-i

visions of the law affecting the col

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14. Wilson

and Lansing are In perfect accord

over the policy in the Teutonic plans

to make unwarned attacks on armed

government toward the tierman and

Austrian announcements has not yet

been determined The administra

tion learned that Berlin Is sending

America .takes the eGrman view, the

American ports. A simple warnln

that American citizens xeep off such

vessels would not relieve government

administration would refuse pass

ports to passengers sailing on armed

ships.
