GOLD in THE WAR

Both the Bank of England and the
Imperial Bank OF Germany have con
llnuously increased their holdings o.
aold since the war began until in each
case their stocks of the metal have
become the largest ever known to
them. The German bank now holds
$f1l O0O.O 900 more gold than at the
outbreak Of the war; the British bank
holds $15S 100000 more.
1t is easier to explain the gain of
the British than that of the German
bank England's foreign trade is still
npbroken, though reduced by the war
The Bank of England is having the
benefit Of the large weekly shipments
OF gold from South Africa. It has
been gaining gold on debt account
from the United States in shipments
to ottawa, which are counted as in
its own vaults.
But Germany has practically been
cut off from the outside world. Its
bank cannot gain gold either from
Che foreign trade, which has virtually
heen destroyed, or from foreign Dor.
rowings. 1t has been presumed that
the gold carried by the government
in the famous and mysterious war
chest of Spandau has been transfer
red to the Reichsbank but as this
sum is not supposed to exceed $50,
100000, against tabled sum of bill
lion or SO, we have $5t 100000 still to
account for.
Where did the German bank get that
sum? Apparently from the pockets Of
the German people, who have yolun
tariIy turned over their circulating
gold coin to the bank and accepted
paper instead It is not an impossible
thing, but it would be the first in
stance on record Of people desper-
ately involved in war who sponta-
neously and unanimously refused to re-
spond to the boarding instinct and
emptied their pockets and stockings
and chimney inches of the money
which most seeks hiding at such a
time.

FRUITS OF REV. Mr.. cRIMM's
PREACHING ARE BEING HAR.
VESTED nv LAS VEGAS

The revival at the baptist church is
getting into the hearts of the people,
as was demonstrated by the number
OF people who attended the two serv-
ices on yesterday People are brav-
ing the weather day and night to
come to these services. AT the morn
ing service, Evangelist Grimm spoke
on Soul Winning, using for his
subject "The Messenger and the
Message" He pleaded with the Chris
tians to be soul winners in this cam
paign. He said:
Someone VIII need you to tell him
about Jesus during this campaign, and
if you fail to go you will be held re-
sponsible. You must answer for not
going. at the Judgment bar You need
not preach him a sermon when you
go. but just tell him what the Lord
has done for you Men are dying for
someone to tell them about Jesus.
Won't you tell someone today?"
At the eevning service the evangel-
ist spoke on Love-" He said in part:
'Do you wonder why God loves you?
Sometimes I wonder why He loves
me. He does not love our sins, but
He loves us because He can look be
ihind our sins and there He sees a
man made in His own image. There
are many ways God could have mani
tested His love toward us. He could
have caused the thunder as it rolls.
tc have said in thunder tones God
| is love- or He could have caused the
lightning to have written in beautiful
bright letters God is love- or He
might have caused the grass IS it
grows in the meadow to have grown
in green letters God is love But all
this might have been monotonous to
you and you would say: I don't be-
lieve God loves me anyway Go with
me to the cross and see Jesus, as He
hung there between heaven and
earth, or your redepmtion. What a
sacrifice for God to give His Son for
your sins. Is there a man here so
cold hearted as to say that God does
nor love him since He gave His Son
to die for you? Surely there is not a
heart so cold. Gods love will never
fail. Won't you be reconciled to
Hm?'
There were three professions last
night. Baptizing at the evening serv-
ice this evening.

oughly than the gentlemen of the bar
will like to have it done.
Senator Elihu Root speaks as the
intelligent Mr.. Root knows how to
speak when be reviews not only the
popular discomfort with lawyers and
courts, but also the many very sound
reasons for that discomfort.
such sentences as these from the
address OF Mr. Root are fine-the pub
lie likes them:
Our trial practice in the admission
and exclusion of evidence does not
agree with the common sense, the ex-
.perience Or the instincts of any intel
ligent layman in the country.
# think there is a broader defect in
our trial of cases in this, that we are
too apt to play the game instead Of
trying to get down as rapidly as pos
sible to the merits of the case. So
we make our law suits a game of
chess where they are not game of
chance"
Mr.. Root avoided all reference to
free justice. One would not expect a
lawyer of his training to see that there
cannot be full justice as long as the
outcome Of lawsuits depends upon pri-
vately employed and privately paid
trial advocates. To see that essential
limpediment to justice and to remove
it are a part Of the more thorough job
that public opinion will have to get
done. 4
But that Mr.. Root and the other
lawyers and jurists who substantially
agree with him are "on their way is
shown by this excellent conclusion to
his excellent address:
1--WE are in period of universal de-
velopment. All business, all science,
all thought are casting off old shackles
and impediments and improving their
methods, increasing their efficiency
lifting up their standards It should
not be that our noble profession is
alone to remain stationary and with.
out growth along the lines of better
Eservice and greater usefulness"
