Spanish Coast.
London, Nov. 28. Lloyds reports
the sinking of the American steamer
Chemung.
The Chemung sailed from New
York on November 8th for Genoa and
Naples and stopped at Fayal, Azores,
November 20. She was owned by the
Darby Steamship company of New
York, was built in 1888 at Buffalo and
was 327 feet long, of 3,002 tons gross.
The crew of the Chemung has been
landed at Valencia by the Spanish
steamer Giner, says a Reuter Pdspatch
from Valencia today.
The Chemung was torpedoed near
Cabo de Gata, according to the dis
patch. The steamer foundered with the
American flag flying, it is added, the
captain having formally refused to
lower the flag.
The submarine towed the crew to
within five miles of the coast, the
Valencia advices state, and then aban
doned them. At the end of the day
they were picked up by the Giner.

of thirty-live men, the majority of
whom are believed to be Americans.

only ten of the men on hoard, includ

the others being Greeks, Russian-;.

He said all on board had. been landed
safely. As there was no loss of life,
nor apparent violations of Germany's

of no mean acquirements. He will be

The warning issued by the city
council to the auto speeders as to
driving fast on Washington avenue
should be .heeded as the police com
mittee have instructed the city police
to see that the offenders are compelled
to face the musicfor their violation of
the speed laws. The new paving is a
sore temptation to the auto driver
tired of riding over the bumpy roads
to strike a nice mile stretch of pav
ing, and very few can resist the de
sire to "open 'er up" a little and try
out their machine, but they must be
ware, as the police will be on the look
out and the costs of speeding will be
added to the high cost of living if
they are not careful. The avenue
runs through the ward of Councilman
Buttery, chairman of the police com
mittee and he is prepared to see that
the ordinance and state law is ob
served in every sense of the word by
those traveling over the paving with
their autos. Let the speeder beware.

RESERVE BOARD
. WARNS BANKS
i Important Admonition Does Not Re
flect on Financial Status
of Allies.
Washington, D. C, Nov. 27. Amer
ican bankers were warned by the fed
eral reserve bjard to avoid locking
up their funds by purchasing treas
ury bills of foreign governments in
volving long term obligations.
While specifically disclaiming "any
intention of reflecting upon the finan
cial stability of any-nation." the board
advises all investors to proceed with
cation and formally announced to
member, banks of the federal reserve
system that with the liquid funds
which should be available to American
merchants, manufacturers and farm
ers in danger of being absorbed for
other purposes it "does not regard it
in the interest of the country at this
time that they invest in foreign treas
ury bills of this character."
The statement is regarded in offi
cial circles as one of the most im
portant declarations by the board
since its creation.
Oaleials, would not discuss the ques
tion of publication, but some of them
informally interpreted the warning as
the reserve board's answer to the re
cent j'. r jposal i J. P. Morgan & Co.,
British fiscal agents' in this country,

ens
to have American bankers accept
British treasury bills of an indefinite
total issue, secured by gold reserves
held in Ottawa.
Such loans would be for ninety days
with the period of renewal for five
other ninety-day periods.
II. P. Davison, of the Morgan firm,
was in Washington recently and con
ferred with President Wilson and
some of the members of the reserve
board. It was said later that he
sought to have banks of the reserve
system authorized to buy British treas
ury bills as if they were bills of ex
change to cover commercial transac
tions. Danger from further importation of
large amounts of gold, the board says,
will arise only in case the gold is per
mitted to become the basis of unde
sirable loan expansions and of infla
tion. Emphasis is laid upon the ne
cesity for caution in putting money
into investments which are short term
in name, but which either by contract
or through force of circumstances may
in the aggregate have to be renewed
until normal conditions return.
