Reached New York This
Morning with Treasure
Valued at $50, 1000, 900
GREAT PRECAUTIONS
TO SECURE SAFETY
Cost of the Transfer from London to
New York Estimated to Have Been
$3.50, ,O0O-News of Arrival in Hall
fax Held Up by Censor.

NEW YORK, August IL. = A spe-
cial train carrying $52 100000 worth of
gold and securities which had been
shipped from the Bank of England in
London via Halifax, Nova Scotia, ar
rived soday. The train was composed
of seven steel ears and was guarded by
40 armed men.
1t was brought over in a British bat
tleship which was conveyed through
the war zone and across the ocean by
a cruiser and fiotilla of torpedo boat
destroyers to guard against an attack
of German submarines
| The cost of transferring it from
London to New York was estimated to-
day to have been $25U,O0O.
From the beginning, the greatest Sc
erecy surrounded the shipment, but
nevertheless, the greatest precautions
were taken against the possibility that
the activity of the German secret SER
vice in this country and in England
might cause the discovery of the plan
and result in a submarine attack or in
an attempt to cause trouble on the rail
road journey. When the armored train
left Halifax it was preceded by pilot
engine, for the purpose of testing
bridges and trestles and of being
wrecked in place of the treasure train,
should an attempt be made to wreck
it by dynamite.
This precaution was suggested by the
Iexploit of Werner Horn, the German
Ireservist, who attempted to blow uI
the st. Croix river international bridge
on Feb. of this year to stop shipment
of munitions to the allies from this
countrv to Canada over the Canadian
Pacific railroad.
The news of the arrival of Sir Da
vid Beatty's fleet with the greatest car
tgo of treasure ever carried by a single
ship did not get out of Halifax, becaus,
of the rigor of the British censorship
It was learned, however, that after i
had been landed, a delay of one day
was caused by the fact that the Amcri
can Express company did not have tn,
) privilege of doing business in Halifax
, and Admiral Beatty had orders to de
liver the shipment directly to tn,
: American Express company, which hat
! no Office of its own in Halifax, and wa
2 represented there by the Dominion Ex
/ press company. Admiral Beatty cable,
{ back for instructions and was ordere,
to make the delivery to the Dominion
Express company.

Desired Result
PRESIDENT WILSON
ASKED TO GIVE HELP
And Executive Heads of Other Neutral
Countries Have Been Approached =
convocation of Universal Council of
Church Considered.

ROME, August II. - Pope Benedict
has determined to make a new appeal
for peace, according to the newspaper
Roma, which declares the pontiff is re-
solved to use every means within his
power to bring about the desired re-
suit.
He will ask help of the episcopate
and the newspaper asserts is even
considering the convocation of a uni
versal council of the church at Rome.
The Roma which does not give its au-
thority, asserts it has been informed
that the Pope will forbid all repre-
sentatives of the church in belligerent
countries under pain of excommunica-
ton from offering prayers for victory,
for asking blessing for combatants or
even administering sacrament to those
responsible for a continuation of the
war.
The same newspaper claims to have
information to the effect that the Pope
has made a personal appeal to the
President of the United States, the
President of Switzerland and the Cen
trail and South American republics as
well as to the kings of Spain ana the
Scandinavian countries, asking them
| to Join with him in an effort to obtain
at least truce preparatory to the

SLOW PROGRESS IN SERvIA
Bulgars Have Been Able to Advance
Only One Mile From Frontier.
Serbs Resist Sternly.

acknowledgements questions are
not delaying military operations. The
Austro-G German and Bulgarian attacks
on Servia are proceeding. They are,
however, meeting with stern resist
ance, and the Servians are giving
ground foot by foot. The extent of
the Bulgarian invasion, according to
Nish dispatch, consists of an adj
vance over the frontier at one point
OF mile. With this exception, says
the report, the fighting line remains
intact and the railways have not been
reached.
1t is reported also that the allies
have begun a new offensive in the
Dardanelles. The Russians are con-
tinuing their attacks in Galicia in an
effort to clear the Austrians from the
Roumanian frontier and prevent them
from sending further achievements
against Servia.
In fact, there appears to be gen,
eral attack on all the German fronts,

British submarines in the Baltic have
sunk ten German ore carrying steam

have been sinking only German steam
