The circular shows that each of the twelve reserve banks must forward to 1th Treasury or a sub-Treasury 81,- 1000,000 in gold or gold certificates as fits part of the clearing fund, and in lto its net indebtendness to all Feder- al Reserte banks.’ Each bank must there after maintain a balance in the ‘fund of at least $1, 000, 000 wrich will be kept in a separate vault in the Treasury Department. A settling agent to keep the necessary records will'be appointed by the Board. At the close of business each Wed- nesday night each Federal Reserve \bank is required to telegraph to the board the amounts due to each other Federal Reserve bank, and on each Thursday the settling agent will tele- graph each bank the condition of its balance as a result of that week's ad- justment. When a debit balance against a federal reserve bank exceeds its credit balance the difference must be immediately made good and where there is any delay in covering such such charges as the federal Reserve may impose! Funds standing to the credit of Federal reserve banks in this gold fund will be counted'as part of their legal reserves. w._,_._._ CHARGED WITH ARSON. DANBU'RY, May ll.—John Manon, brother bf Mrs. J.

May ll, 5:35 a. n1.—-Tl1e body of Albert Thompson. of Toronto, brought in by. an Ad— mirnlty truwlcr last night, was found drifting with wreckage near the coast not far front the scene of the. Lusitania. which leads to the hope that additional bodies . may be found in that vicinity. Seven unidentificd'bodics also were landed at Baltimore, 47 miles southwest of Cork. but the weather conrlnions are such that it is not considcrcd probable many more will be found in that im- 111cdiatc vicinity, and all hope of finding further surviv- oors 11nw has been abandoned. A currcnt of from two and one~balf to three knots races around Old Head Kitsalc and this has been aug- mented by a still cast wind which at the end of eight or nine days may carry bodies ashore around Cape Clear, on the West Irish coast. The Cunard tcamsbip Company has spat a tug to the scene of the disaster with instructions to: run into the nearest covc and inform Cunard officials here even if a single body is found. There are indications that the heavy death roll among the Amcril‘an m‘cn in the first cabin was due to a scarcity of life belts, many of them having given the life-preservcrs they had obtained to helpless \vo111c11.Thcrc is a preponderance of testimony that 110 American man got into a boat until after be had been thrown into the water. \\ ebb \\ adc, secretary of Alfred G. Vanderbilt, has not yet been able to arrange with the authoritcs to comply with his request that all necessary tugs be charts crcd at the expense of the Vanderbilt family to search for other bodies as well as that of Mr. Vanderbilt. Until he heard the story of Dr. Owen Kenan,'of New York,be believed his employer had entered one of the boats smashed against the side of the ship, but Dr. Kcnan’s story is so definite that it is accepted generally as the correct version of Mr. Vanderbilt's last moments aboard the ship. ‘Wben theLusitania was in (Kr death throes there was no cooler group aboard than at composed of Mme.

L THE MODERN WAY. Sheridan's Ride Today Would Prob- ably Be on a Motorcycle. Especialy significant of the titanic war is the total disappearance of the galloping orderly; his place has been taken by the motorcyclist. Among British officers, particularly, the mo- tor bicycle has long been popular. and, in addition to what the many could supply in the first instance on its own accpunt, largepnumbers" of riders, many of them from the uni. versities, and specially chosen as dis: patch bearers for their skill and lin- guistic abilities. have been recruited from the volunteer element and sent out as required, the first. contin ngen being a thousand strong, th a_ 0nd thousand in reserve. e is has been the most active, daring and dan- gerous work of any units of the for- ces, formthey have had to carry in- structions frompoint to point, often under fire and generally under condi- tions of great risk.’ As the speed of their machines. however, is five times as great as that of a horse. and their distance, capacities virtually without limit, it follows that; their sphere of, usefulness has been as vast as their services have been‘priceless. Again and again have officers paid testimony to the extreme military value of the work of these plucky riders, who have enabled the allied commanders to :maintafn constant communication along the vast front from Belgium to Alsace-Lorraine. In- dividutil acts of the highest bravery have been countless, but ,I may men- tion two as typical.

In another case, an intrench- ed British company observed in the distance a French regiment marching right up to a spot which concealed German artillery. The Frenchman’s fate was sealed unless they could be warned. Out jumped a cyclist, but he was promptly shot dorm. Another followed and he, too, fell immediate ly. Then a third dashed out, bending low over his machine, and managed to pass through a hail of bullets un- harmed and reach the approaching regiment just in time. The command- ing officer immediately detached a decoration from its own breast and pinned it to that of the intrepid rider.-I<‘rom “The Motor in Warfare —-Power and 811096.? by Charles L.
