WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-The federal reserve board issued a tement outlin- ing recommendations for amendments | 1o the federal reserve act made by the federal advisory council. In addition to the suggestions that the work of the office of the comproiler of the currency be absorbed and adminis- tered by the reserve board, the council recommended a reduction by two-thiras |~ of the present capitol stock of federal re- serve banks, the subscribed capital to remain as under existing law. It sug- Fested that the Clayton anti-trust act be amended in the section affecting inter- locking directorate, so it would be law- ful for an officer or director of one bank t6 hold ofuce or be a director in an- other bank. The councll expressed the view at the request of the board in respect to high interest rates by banks which are mem- bers of the system, that the demand for money is regulated by its accumulation or lack of accumulation In banking cen- ters. It adopted a resolution declaring uhalterable opposition to a plan that wWould make farm land bonds, such as have been proposed in connection with rural credit billa, security far loans, from fedoral reserve banks or to any measure that wopld make such bonds the basis for acceptance by member (Continued from Page One.) not been recelv reasons for clemency have by Hillstrom's advocates. reports received from the county and pre- the 6,000, DR.'VEEDER, CONQUEROR | Y oEF.

The Bulgarians are still carying on the movement intended to turn the Serblan positions at Babuna Pass, and reach Perlepe. If the move- ment succeeds the Berblans will be forced to abandon Babuna, but the operation s considered very hazardous for the Bulgarians, in consequence of the lack of practical roads. “Allled troops are leaving Saloniki daily for the Serblan front. “In the Cernia river region the French victoriously repelled all Bulgarian attacks and the Bulgarians lost heavily."

INCREASES THE COST WASHINGTON, Nov. 17, - Be cause of the apparent failure of pri- vate bidders to keep their proposals within the $7,800,000 limit of cost set by congress for the hulls and machinery of battleships Nos. 43 and 44, bids for which were oponed to- day at the Navy department, con- struction of both vessels may be un- dertaken at government navy yards, The New York and Philadelphia government plants submitted esti- mates of less than $7,000,000 each for ships propelled with the com- WAR the new superdread- naught now building at the New York yard. These were the lowest bids, and the same yards also sub- mitted the lowest figures for ships equipped with steam turbines, the be used in basis of all but one of the prlvnlo{ bids. The Mare Island navy yard with an estimate of $7,413,166 for the tubine ship was next lowest. The Lowest Bid. The lowest private bid was that of the Fore River S8hipbuilding company, which submitted four alternate proposals. Hach was made under stipulated modifications to the department’s specifications, which apparently would bring the total cost far above the $7,500000 maximum. The bids of the other two private bidders, the New York Shipbullding company and the New- port News Shipbullding company, also proposed modifications, and a careful study will be necessary before the exact cost of the ships can be determined under each bld. The result of the Buropean war's de- mands on American markets is shown by the fact that the hulls and machinery of the new battleships Mississippl and Idaho were contracted for at $7,115,000 and §7,20.- 000 respectively, a year ago, while today's private bids for virtually identical ships ranged from $7,229,000 to §7,775,000, with vi- rious qualifications, such as stipulations that the government must assume all in- surance charges, pay for test trials and supply much portable material required to be furnished by the contractors in the advertised specifications, and providing for the substitution of cheaper grades of steel and timber than specified. New hull construction, due to plans to leasen the danger from torpedo attack, occasioned some of the Increase. Severa; Reject Stipulation, Beveral bidg4, however, rejected the stipulation that changes in this bulkhead construction could be made by the gov- ernment at any time within three months after the contract award, should new in- formation on the subject be obtained. ‘While the department's specifications called for bids on turb! driven ships, navy officlals indicated tonight that there was no disposition to awalt trial of the California’s electric machinery before installing this radical departure in propelling plants In other new ships. Recent additional tests of the electric drive on the collier Jupiter has convinced the department's experts that it is not only cheaper to install, but cheaper in operation. No private bidder ever has presonted figures on this type of ship. Bids for the armor for the new ships, Also opened today, showed little increase In price since the last armor contracts were awarded. The Carnegle company Wwag low bidder for the first-class armor for both ships at $425 per ton. Rich Placer Strike In the Black Hills RAPID CITY, & D., Nov, 17.—(Special Telegram.)—Word was brought to town today, announcing a rich placer gold strike in the Black Hills, thirty miles west from here.
