GERMANY HAS.
Pile OF GOLD IN
JULIUS TOWER
Thirty Million Dollars worth of
Twenty Franc Pieces Part of
Frances War Indemnity.

The German government has 120,-
100000 marks (about 30,000,0 00)
stored away in its war chest" in the
famous Julius Tower at Spandau. an
island at the confluence of the Spree
and Havel rivers. 1t is secret
horde, known In Baedeker as 1.-The
imperial military reserve fund Of six
million sterling" Early last year II
was reported from Berlin, which is
only eight miles from Spandau, that

plated TRIPPING the treasure. but If
announced.
The julius Tower has been shroud-
ed in mystery. 1t was first used by
Frederick the Great as the Prussian
war chest" and then turned over to
the empire for the storage of the
$50. 100000 which was part of the
billion dollar indemnity paid by
France after the Franco-German war.
Although 1t has been estimated that
the money would be exhausted in q
day and half in case of actual war,
the fund has been reserved for the
expenses of a quick mobilization OF
the German army, to pay for horses
and supplies already contracted for
an emergency.
Massive Masonry.
The tower of Spandau stands in the
midst of a citadel surrounded by bar
racks and officers quarters, not far
from the great German arsenals and
manufactures of war implements. 1t
is cylindrical, built of heavy, massive
masonry, about forty feet high and
almost as thick. The tower is guard
ed by three steel doors at its only en-
trance, each opened by system of
simultaneous keys held by different
persons. The Chancellor of the EN-
pire holds one set and the president
of the committee for debts of the en-
pire another. The treasure is pro-
tected by constantly changing SEN
tries, under guardian who was
made curator by decree in 1874.
The treasure itself, made up OF
twenty franc gold pieces, the same
that was paid by the French, is stored
in bags in a dozen small cabinets
built in the walls in various levels
reached by spiral stairway. The
guard is usually made up of twenty
four men, eight of them on duty con-
stantly. changing every two hours. A
patrol is made about the base of the
tower. inside and on top. Once a
year the gold is weighed in bulk for
an official account.
Cobbler Tried to Rob It.
There was one attempt at robbery
on the part of drunken cobbler, who
got into the tower in some myster-
ious fashion, but fell when he was
half way up the staircase and broke
his neck. Only one American has
been known to have a glimpse of the
interior of the julius Tower. He
was Robert w. Poindexter OF Los
Angeles. Poindexter, according to
the story. asked the sentinel to see
the commander and then slipped into
the tower when the sentry turned his
back. He got into serious trouble
with the Spahdau authorities for GO
ing too near the treasure, but finally
convinced them of the innocence of
his purpose. The tower has excited
