Hamlin said he would leave to othefs a ‘detalled explanation of how the financial resources of the United States have been strengthened by the, fedéral reserve aet, but he véntured | 'the prediction that the banking system | of the nation through that act will become “one of the strongest systems in the world.” Bevlowln: the hlnory of finaneial legislation which followed the panic of 1907 and sketching the operations of the reserve act, he added: Time to Develop Trade.’ owing out of this new banking act the time has. conu for a marvelous develo] it fn our foreign trade, especially with Séuth America, and that an opportunity is given to finance that tmd:r:uch as prm ‘Hamilin pointed out law: “authorizes that national banks to accept bills of ex-: change growing out of the import and export trade and their discount at federal reserve banks.” He referred also to’ the establish, ‘| mient of branch banks, aidding that such branches have been authorized “Argentina, Brasil, Panama and the world. Thousands upon thousands of soldiers are dying on the field of battle, and millions of peaceful human beings are m cold and hunger, Two countries have been more specially the victims of these sanguinary conflicts. Two countries, but yesterday are now wastes of desolation. These are Poland and Belgium. The assistance given to Belgium has honored humanity. Poland, my country, now appeals for aid. An area, seven times as vast as that of the realm of King Albert, has in Poland been crushed and devastated by the iron heel war. The blood of our unhappy country cries out for divine justice. Her sons, compelled to fight in hostile armies, slay another in fratricidal combat. From the banks of the Niemen to the summits of the Carpathians fire has destroyed the towns villages and o’er the whole of this huge, desolated country the spectre of famine has spread out its wings, All labor and industry have been swept away. The ploughs are rusted—the peasant has nether grain nor cattle. The artisan | idle; all works and factories have been destroyed. The tradesman cannot sell his ware; there is no one to buy. The hearth is’ tinguished, and disease and misery prevail. The aged and infirm have no shelter from the cold and hardships of the weather. Little children, stretching out their arms to their mothers for bread, receive in answer—but tears. Of such starving people, crying out for aid, listen to me, Christian nations and there are millions! Has Poland no right to your assistance? Each ‘unfortunate has such right in the name of Mlumanity, but the Polish has also other claims to plead her csuse befare ~Universe. Conquered and torn asunder, she ever struggled against brutal force, remembering always her glorious pust and ever firming the sacred rights of Liberty. For centuries she was the rampart of Covilization, the barrier of Christendom in its struggle with the Crescent. She ever fought side by side with all defenders of freedom. The names of Sobieski and Kosciuszko will be ever graven on your memory. Where was any generous cause, in which Poland did not freely shed her blood? E suffering, which by her mezns she did not attempt to alleviate?. Our genius, our labor and our creative powers have left their im- print upon many pages of the World’s history. Our voice ever rose in unison with the great call of civilized Humanity. 4 Therefore, in the name of universal fraternity, in the name of a country ever faitt.ful to that sacred principle, in the name of fio teachings of Christ, and of vur past and present sufferinzs, to You civilized Nations I appeal! 4 Help us to savé my country from her terrible distress. Vet us give the labarer bread to restore his strength, and seed wheres with to reap his future harvest. May Polish mothers be enabled to give their famished childrer somthing more than tears. May the Polish* Nation survive this hour of supreme trial and with renewed hope and strength await the dawn of her near Resurrection.

Need for greater reliance on their own résources s one lesson which the Buropesn war has brought home | to the nations not invelved, in the opinion of Paul M. Warburg, member of the federal reserve board, Mr. Warburg pointed out that when the war began Fngland, then acting as banker for the world, felt férced to ask for sorne of the vast sums due her and that tkis request was re- flected in varying degrees in coun- tries that were in her debt. He spoke of the acute situation which re- sulted in the United Stat¢s and else- ‘where on this hemisphere, and added: Lesson for Americans. *The lesson which all American na- tions will have to learn from last year's experience is that {s unwise for the world to place it financial de- pendence upon any single nation, and that those who can afford to do 86, as for instance the should from this time on adopt policy of greater rellanes upon their own resources Those countries which cannot rely exclusively upen own resources should adept a policy of dividing their risks of financial dependence as evenly and as widely as they possibly can. “Europeé has done much in develop- ing both the northern and southern parts of this hemisphere.

MUCH TIMBER RUINED BY LASSEN ERUPTION Mnud Stream in Hat Oreek Still Moving But it Has Cooled and Flows. * Sluggtshly, Redding, Cal, BMay 25—Greater ruin was wrought by Saturday’'s erup- tion of Lassen Peak than first be- lleved, according to stories brought i here today by returning investigating parties wha traveled over almost im- passable roads and through a raging storm to reach the edge of the danger zone, Widespread damage to standing timber was the most evident destruc- tion done by the mountain's eruption. The mud torrents and the showers of super-heated rocks and bouldefs are reported to have ruined a miliion feet of timber, Trees were snapped oft at their trunks and the hail of heavy stones swept through large areas of forest like a gigantic scythe, Tangles of timber eaught fire from the hot lava, but rain =oon quenched the flames, The mud stream in Hat Creek was #till moving today, but it has cooled and flows sluggishly. SUPERVISION. | WOMAN MURDERED IN BOAT IN L. 1. SOUND Body of Scnnm; Found on Shore of Yellow Mill Pond. Bridgeport, May 25.—The police to- day continued their efforts to unravel the mystery surrounding the finding here yesterday, on the shore of Yel- low Mill Pond, of the dlsmembered torso of a woman, The body was un- |earthed by laborers who were at work ‘mdmg, and had only the right arm and hand attached, the head and other members being missing. The body was clad in a white chemise and white night gown, and wrapped in a sheet | which had been sewed up with heavy cord. There-were no marks of iden- j tification on the garments and the {only clew so far discovered by the po- {lice is the mark “B 25" found on a ! man’s garments dug up not far frem the spot where the body was buried. i The medical examiner, who made ian{autopsy, said there was no ques- 'tmn but what the womsn was mur. dered. She could not have been more than 30 years old, he said, and the condition of the hand and its { well-kept nails indicated that she had not been accustomed to hard wark. The autopsy showed normal conditions death, he said. It was recalled today that about seventeen Years ago the dismembered | body of Miss Emma Gill was found | in Yellow Mill Pond not far from where the body was dug up yester- day. On that occasion articles of clothing found about the body bore the mark “G 51.” This turned out |to be a laundry mark and led to the | identity of the woman and the ul- timate clearing up the case. In the opinion of the police, the woman, whose body was found yes- terday, was a stranger to Bridgeport, |and they have advanced the theory | | that she may have been murdered on a boat in Long Island Sound and the body cut up and brought ashore for burial, REPORT ON SEMINARY.

Washington, May 25.—President lWflloI told callers today he did not { know the causes for the delay of the German reply to the American note on the Lusitania, but he presumed the German government was, for the mo- ment, absorbed in the new circum- stances arising from Italy’s entrance into the war. While Ambassador Gerard has sent several messages bearing on what the German reply may be no direct inti- mation had been received concern- ing its contents, and the American government is really uninformed. The German embassy here, how- ever, has ‘made suggestions to the German foreign office for the reply, and in German quarters it is said the note will be of a character to satisfy American public opinion. ‘While declining to throw any light on the shipping situation as between Great Britain and the United States, the president alluded to it as = chronic case. It was learned that he believed any formal note at this time to Great Britain might be con- strued as a weakening of the Amer- fican government's position in its deli- cate relations with Germany, but as soon as the Berlin reply is received some action may be expected.
