The state department received word that the convention hagd instructed a to comply with the American government’'s/request and a proclamation is to be issued by him covering the various points involved.

NEW BANKING SYSTEM OPERATIVE NOV. 30 Directors Turned Down McAdoo's Pro- posal to Start Nov. 16 ‘Washington, Oct. 21.—After a two- hour discussion here today, directors and governords of the twelve federal reserve banks refused by two votes to support the p roposal of Secretady McAdoo to open the new banking sys- tem for business November 16. By a vote of 37 to 35 they recommended that the opening be set for Novembber 30. This action has no binding effect up- on the federal reserve board or upon ‘Mr, McAdoo, for the currency act gives the secretary authority to open the bankks when he believes they are rea dy to do business. It was evident to- night that members of the board were not partioularly pleased with the rec- ommendation of the banks and it is possible that a meeting of the board within the next few days will develop sufficlent sentiment to bring a vote asking the secretary to name a date earlier than Novembber 30, It was sug- gested tonmight that the cioseness of the vote might have some weight in determining the position of the federal board, though arguments that all the bangs. must' work in Harmony on the eve of launching the system might pre- vail against the desire for -an earlier opening. TO MEET OBLIGATIONS WITHOUT GOLD SHIPMENT. To be Discussed by Secretary McAdoo, A British Representative and New York ‘Bankers. ‘Washington, Oct. 21—~How American barikers can meet their obligations in Eggland without actual shipments of gold across the Atlantic will be dis- cussed at a conference here Friday be- tween Sir George Paish and Basil Blackett, representatives of the English treasury and the federal reserve board, Secretary McAdoo and representative bankers from New York, who are par- ticularly concerned in foreign exchange condidtions. ‘This will be the firt important con- ference between the representatives of the-English government and the Eng- lish banks at which American bank- ers will appear. - Announcement was made today of the meeting, but in the absence of acceptances from New York bankers no list of those expected was made public. It is understood here tonight that the main hope of the American officials is that they be able to find some meth- od of postponing gold payments for several months until the twelve re- serve banks are in operation and the difficulties and burdens imposed upon the individual banks of the country have bene shifted and cared for. 18,000 MEN NEEDED FOR AMERICAN NAVY To Man Al! the Ships That Are Now Available. ‘Washington, Oct. 21.—How eighteen thousand additional men would be needed by the American navy to man all of its ships for war was explained in a statement issued tonight by Act- ing Secretary Roosevelt, supplement- ing Secretary Daniels’ recent reply to published criticisms of the navy’s pre- paredness. While admitting that 12 of the 33 battleships cannot be put In service on account of the shortage of men, Mr. Roosevelt declared that in regard to ships and equipment the navy is in excellent shape. Like Secretary Daniels, the acting secretary - maintained that battleships still are of paramount importance “in war in which the belligerents are sep- arated by great distances of water. The value of submarines in their pres ent state of development for coast d fense purposes and for offensive at- tacks within a short radius, was con- ceded. AGREEMENT REACHED ON WAR REVENUE BILL By Senate and House Conferees—Beer $1.75 Per Barrel ‘Washington, Oct. 21.—An agreement on the war revenue bill was reached late today by senate and hoilse con- ferees, at a sacrifice of from fifteen to twenty million dollags in revenue pro- posed amendments to the liquor taxes, rejecting the senate amendments to increase the tax on beer from $1.50 to $1.75 a barrel, and to impose a tax of five cents a gallon on rectified spirits. In sacrificing these amendments, the conferees made no subsbtitution, Rep- resentative Underwood’s proposal to restore the tax of two-cents a gallon on gasoleneas contained in the house bill having been rejected by the senate con- ferces.

S — Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 2L—Professor Hugo Munsterberg has withdrawn his ogy at Harvard university “at the re- quest of - the authorities,” according to an announcement made tonight. The resignation was submitted re- ceutly after Professor Munsterberg had learned that the university had receiv- ed a communication from Major Clar- ence Wiener of London, threatening to withhold a legacy of ten million dollars to Harvard unless the professor was dismissed. According to information given out regarding Major Wiener's communication, it sald that he had already provided in his will for such a legacy, and had added a cancelling clause to take effect if his wishes re- garding Professor Munsterberg were disregardded. His objection to the head of the university’s psychological department was based on the latter's pro-German utterances since the op- ening of the Europpean war.
