Washington, Nov. 10.?Although the 11! federal reserve Lanks began busi? ness only today tin: federal reserve : board already has before it plans for aliening their held of operations and increasing their store of cash. No deli nlte data on tho business done Was available tonight, but Secretary Willis telegraphed each bank for an account of its rediscount business and expect? ed to lay a report before the board tomorrow. , The board tuny not be willing to draw definite plans from one day's j business, but the first week may have a material effect and may result in augmenting the cash of the banks by ?more than $150,000,000. The board has under consideration the deposit of a large part of the loose cash now deposited in national banks. I If the first week's rediscount busi? ness shows that the reserve hanks can use more cash, the board pro) ably will suggest the adoption of this plan. It jhas been reported to the board that there is about $110,000,000 in the treasury available for this purpose and that about $04,000,000 of the $79,000,000 now in banks on deposit for the government could be trans ; ferred.

Members of the federal reserve board felt today that they had estab? lished the system just when condi? tions presented excellent opportunity Ito test its reserve. I Ability of the federal banks to dis dount commercial paper has been looked to as a means of providing financial machinery for the movement of crops and meeting general business needs. Asserting that the opening of the banks marked a new era in the his tory of business and finance in the United States, Secretary McAdoo add< d: "It is believed that they Will pUt tin end to the annual anxl -\y from Which the country has suffered for the past generation in sulllcicnt money and credit to move the crops each, year and will give such stability to the business that the extreme liuctuatlons in interest rat. s and available credits which have characterised bunking In the past will be destroyed perma? nently."

Kays Waning Nation* Have Ignored TcaclUlIgs of Sailor and Are Seek? ing Mal? r ial Cain. Home, Nov. ?The pope todey caused t<? I??? published bis announced cncyclicul urging peace among tho waning nations of Burope. Jn this document the pontiff at? tributes the war to four causes, namely, lack of mutual and sincere love among men; contempt of author? ity; injustice on the part of one class of the people against another, and the i onsi leration of material welfare as the Bole object of human activity. Th ? encyclical begins by tracing a horrible picture of the present wir and by calling upon the rulers and the peoples to end the fratricidal tight In order that the draw a of the new pon? tificate be bh used by a voice an? nouncing peace throughout the world. The present bloody war Is terrible, because, the encyclical declares, it is b Struggle of souls as well as a strug? gle of bodies, the soul being the origin Of the body. After making reference to the doc - trines of Christ, the pope in his com? munication says: 'The spirit of Christ dues not reign today. The peo? ple talk of brotherhood more than they ever have before, yet brother? hood is ignored today to a greater de? gree than ever before. Nations, races, cities and Individuals are divided to* day by rancor and selfishness more than they ale by political frontiers. Tho lack of reciprocal charity is causing a lack of respect for author? ity." The pope's appeal urging peace in Burope follows a pastoral letter from the pontiff Issued early in Se ptember, in which he exhorted the heads of the nations engaged in hostilities to end the present reign of ruin, disaster and bloodshed. The pope than said tne spec tacle of the conflict fdled him with horror and sadness and thai he hoped not only for the end of this war but of all wars. GOOD TIME FOlt BUILDING. Material and Work Can be Had now at Cheaper Plioos Than Csual. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 17.?' If you contemplate building a home, build it now," says The Atlanta Journal. Don't put it off for business to get better. Times will get better hut not neces? sarily for building." The Journal then epiotes as. follows from "Keith's," a building authority: "1 light now every contractor you meet is in position to give you a $1.25 return for your money for every dol? lar invested and for two reasons. He can buy material comparatively cheap? ly and put good workmen on your job for the same money that in rush times goes to the incapable man, furnishing fifty per cent, efficiency. Good live times are right ahead and so a word to the wise that they be forehanded and build now, for a $5,000 house to? day in less than a year will cost $6, 000. Bven If higher rates of interest have to be paid for money now, ? Keith's-' comments, "A $5,000 house on 7 per cent, money for a time is much better than the same house cost? ing $1.000 more next year at a lower interest rate." "It is now In the matter of building inch ed a case of come early and avoid the rush." concludes The Journal, "For tho rush is certainly on the way and will be here as soon as the war depression has lifted and it is already clearing rapidly." Tho man who builds now will not only make money for himself but will help the general situation by putting money in circulation and providing work for men who are now Idle. over 65 years experience 'ATENTS Trade Marks Designs Copyrights etc. Aurorf POndli R R ?-Urtcli hiu! description quit qnlrkly luwertnin ei.r opinion five whether aii liireim >n isprobnl ly put ent ante.
