GOLD SHIPMENT.
Londoner Tells Today Why
They Are Made to the U. S. /.

Lond2n. Sept. n-Regsrding the reports
Of probable gold shipments to the United
States, the head Of one OF the largest ar
bitrage houses in London said to a repre-
sentative of The Associated Press today:
There is considerable American inquiry
and a fair amount available for export,
while there is about H.5oo.oOo afioat from
the cape and other sources which will
soon be available. l do not think the sit
uation in America is pressing enough to
warrant any great export movement. The
nominal pricee in the open market is now
about a cent above the bank price.
But In the event OF American competi-
ton for the amount available the price
In sure TO advance.
Americas Indebtedness TO Europe is
considerable. The only object OF sending
gold 10 New York Is TO get advantage OF
the higher interest there. But, personally,
do not think the stringency will con-
tinue very long"

German ARMY Methods.

At Oldenburg the -corporals recently
were ordered by their officer to throw
themselves upon the ground and to eat
grass like cattle. Moreover, the men
obeyed. This extraordinary fact was
disclosed in the German reichstag, to-
gether with others equally remarkable,
which show the methods adopted by
our German friends who are so horri.
fed at ''our methods of barbarism."
Another officer, at Breslau this time,
tore the buttons off a private's coat on
a Sunday morning not long ago. Next
the officer made the man stand nearly
naked while he was beaten over the
head with his trousers. His clothes
were then ripped into pieces SO that be
could have the opportunity of resewing
them. When this latter was done, the
clothes were again cut, and the man
had to sew them up second time.
A private in one of the rife battalions
who appeared unshaven was taught a
courteous lesson by his officer. This
gentleman exclaimed, you pig, I'll
shave you," and proceeded to tear out
the hair with a penknife. Another of.
ficer who came up at the time thought
the lesson too mild, so he lighted a
match and held it flaming under the
mans chin and cheeks. Pearson's
