SEATTLE, June 18. Vessels arriv

amount of shipbuilding there. The
three largest shipbuilding yards in
Japan have received enough orders to
keep them busy for three years at
least.
The .10,300-ton freighter Dalfuku

yards in Kobe May 23, having been
built in Just four months. She has

Anarchy Thought Temporary.
"As regards our internal condition,
I advise you not to believe the talk
about anarchy too readily. Undoubted
ly anarchy exists temporarily, but its
seed existed long before the revolu

ditions of the old regime of despotism,
arbitrariness, cruelty and falsehood,
Russians could not develop a sense of
order and Justice.

protests that have come to him about
the demoralisation of the railway mall
service In the Northwest, threatens to
lay the conditions before Congress and
demand a Congressional Inquiry unless
the Postoffice Department can promise
material Improvement In the service.
Mr. McArthur has had many com
plaints, both as regards delay in han
dling the mails addressed to Portland,
and as regards the reorganization and
disorganization of the railway mail
service. He particularly protests
against the espionage methods which
Postmaster-General Burleson has em
ployed, and against the arbitrary lay
ing off of mail clerks, when the mail
service is so badly crippled.
In order that the Postoifice Depart
ment may have full opportunity to de
fend Itself, Mr. McArthur has written
the Second Assistant Postmaster-General,
detailing his complaints, and in
viting an explanation. If this explana
tion is not satisfactory, Mr. McArthur
will lay bare before the House the
methods which the department has re
sorted to to make a showing of econo

WASHINGTON, June 18. Amend
ments to the Federal reserve act, de
signed to strengthen the financial sys
tem of the country by the concentra
tion of gold reserves in Federal re
serve banks and to open wide the doors
of the Federal reserve system to the
state banks and trust companies, were
sent to the President for his signature
today. The Senate finally accepted a
conference report prtviously approved
by the House.
The first effect of the changes, lt is
believed, will be the shifting of more
than $300,000,000 In reserves from the
banks of the country to the r ederal
reserve banks, where the great store
of gold will be In a position to achieve
its maximum efficiency. The effect of
this shift, officials believe, will be of
incalculable benefit to the financial
system of the country at this time
when the strain of heavy withdrawals
from the money markets to meet In
stallments on the liberty loan impends.
Hundreds of large trust companies
and state banks which heretofore re
malned outside the fold are expected
to come In under the amendments.
These Institutions will bring Into the
reserve system many hundreds of mil
lions of additional reserves.
Addeel Strength Is Purpose,
With their addition, officials believe
that the financial system of the coun
try will be as nearly Impregnable as
human Ingenuity can make It.
Accession of trust companies ' and
state banks will be brought about in
two ways; the Institutions may Join
the system outright with the privilege
of withdrawing at any time upon
year's notice a privilege not granted
them by the unamended la or they
may, by depositing a portion of their
reserves with a Federal Reserve Bank,
become members of the Federal Re
serve clearance system, the most ef
fective In the country.
The proportion of the reserves to be
deposited. In the latter ease, has yet
to be determined upon by the Board.
It Is likely that the minimum will be
60 per cent. Officials anticipate a
landslide of state banks and trust com-'
panieta to the system within the next
few weeks. Many of the largest finan
cial Institutions at present outside the

message as you have been gracious and
kind enough to send me, and I shall
treasure lt In my heart as a typi
