GOLD HOLDINGS OF GERMANY

One of the financial surprises the five months has been the enormous and steady increase in the gold holdings of the German Imperial bank The amount thereof July 30, 1914 1356S40000 marks. which figure compared with 1lj62 2S0000 marks at the corresponding date in 1915. On De- cember 31, 1914, the Pechsbank, however. reported gold being 2,092, ,8l1 900 marks the sum held the beginning of the of less than 755971 900 marks. about $1S4,O0000O. How the German government and the bank able to accomplish such results, the face of the country's isolation and the practical inability draw gold from abroad, has heen matter Of cOnsid- erable discussion. IL nay be noted that such resentative German financier Mir Von Gwinner of the Deutsche bank categorcay denies sugges- tiOns that the Reichsbank's gold includes notes of the so-called loan fund anything but the actual metal. Under date of January II. 19l5 the German bank. however reported decrease of 19056000 marks, S4 0o0 in it's gold, this being the first loss of specie its weekly returns have exhibited. Not little comment has been casoned and in the absence definite expanat tons the idea has been suggested that Germany has pos sibly transferred of it's gold accumulations to a neutral country in order establish credit for purchases of supplies and munitions. The recent renewal of cotton shipments from this country to Germany may also play part in the matter BradstreetS.

SWEEPING THE SEA FOR MINES

Most of the of the sweepers hardy seamen from these coasts. Yesterday fishing brought ten ashore four Of whom in jured who had been part of the Of the former Grimsby trawler the Sweeper. Four of her lost when she went down, after bump ing into mne and another one died of his nur- ies after landing The sinking of this vessel witnessed by three fishermen from distance of 100 yards. Immediately after a terrific explosion the vessel started to go down by the bow and in ten minutes she at the bottom Two boats were launched and all the crew who were not killed by the explosion got off. Various other trawlers have been reported to have struck mines and been destroyed.
 Floating mines can be from the deck of boat and frequently destroyed by rifle fire. Sub merged mines are different proposition. They are from eight to twenty feet below the surface and attached to anchor by cable They have to be located by trawling swoeping-that is dragging cables through the water at the proper depth to engage the fastenings that connect the mines with the anchors. After mine is located in this way it has to be handled with care it may explode prematurely.
 Sweeping for mines IS cold, hard work at this season of the year. It calls for good seamanship and plenty of endurance, in addition to the to face annhilation any moment The fish ermen of the east coast the who respond to this call from their country.-Leslies

JUPITER

SOFiI
 Jupiter large piebald star which inhabits the southern sky, is the elephant of the solar system.
 It is bigger and more powerful than all the rest of the planets put to- gether. It is S7,000 miles thick at the waist line. and contains 1890 times as much surface area as the earth.
 This fact should intensity the gen. eral regret over the fact that passen ger service between the earth and the other planets is even less satisfactory than it is on a Jim Hill branch line If only an earth nation with an itch for world power could be transported to Jupiter, peace would enfold us like a blanket while the happy con- querors could roam for a hundred years over their new residence, lick ing everything in sight, and not get ting out of the fifth ward, so to speak
 When international peace is per fected, warning nations should be re- moved to Jupiter and settled. one on each side. Think of the satisfaction of seeing two belligerent armies rush ing savagely forward to demOlish each other, and dying of old age be- fore they go within 10000 miles of the battle-line.
 Jupiter is 380,000,0O0 miles away even when it is most companionable, yet is very interesting through the telescope. Viewed at close range. it ;c lar ha1 iSh ashes around it and huge red spot which may be either a strawberry mark or a hot box. Jupiter is sus- pected of having his own heating system This is indicated by the highly disturbed atmosphere. On the other hand, this may be accounted for by the possibility that elections are held continuously there.
 The year is IA months long or Jupiter. which means it is no place of residence for the overworked clerk who gets one week off in July. On ! the other hand. the day is only ten so live that when they die. they may go to Jupiter and reap the benefits of a three hour labor law. Jupiter is most famous for its sa telltes. It has eight, all revolving around the planet like patronage hunting senators around the president and the smallest of these satellites is as large as is our earth. Those who have tried to keep three common oranges in the air at the same time | will view Jupiters feat of juggling | eight overgrOwn moons, with the ! deepest respect.

BENEFIT PLANS
 ARE COMPLETE
Many Prominent Artists W i'll Take Part in Vaude- vile Performance for As soc;ated Charities Next Wednesday Night

All arrangements for the Associated Charities Benefit Vaudeville have been completed It will be held at the Elks theater on Wednesday night and all in dications point to it's being a great sue cess. The program will unquestionably be one of the best ever offered in Phoenix, varied, interesting and enlist ing the services of many prominent artists.
 The very large advance sale indicates that there is even more interest being taken in this performance than in the rcord breaking benefit of last spring. surely there has never been time when charitable aid has been more needed and equally sure, there is no better medium for distributing and eX
 tending such aid than the Associated Charities It reaches all sorts and con- ditions, creeds and sects.
 One of the most notable things about this benefit is the fact that there are no expenses attached to it. Every art ist taking part donates his services, the theater IS donated the light, advertis-
 ing and printing, music and trucking are donated and the stage hands give their services freely. Everybody that Duys ticket will not only receive his moneys worth at the theater but he will know that every cent in the dollar he pays for the ticket will be turned over to the association to be used by it. There will be no deductions for any cause whatever the entire gross pro- ! ceeds will be used for charity. The full program of the benefit will be announced toElorrow

Why the Delay?

We can hardly believe that it is the intention of a majority of the members of the city commission. suspect hold up the Parish decision until after the municipal election That decision may be needed in the campaign and earlier it is presented the better. It would have bearing upon many things. especially upon the amendment proposed by the revision committee to rob the man. ager of the power which the charter wisely gives him, and would reduce him a errand- boy for the commission. It might make of manager a mere tool for a bad commission
 Is the majority of the commission, known to favor the amendment and suspected of hostility to Manager Parish afraid that decision will imperi the amendment? Is it the purpose of the majority hold up the decision until after the election, when. if the amendment carry there will be need of decision and when. if the amendment fail, the majority may it's decision.
 There is no need for delay for a single day If the evidence at the long, funny hearing charges against the city manager has shown for his removal, the commission know it by this time The delay is injustice to the manager it is injustice to the people of Phoenix If has been shown for his removal, he should be vindicated quickly possible; if cause has been shown, he should be relieved quickly possible.
 If the commission is playing politics with this decision, it is playing with a dangerous thing, it will later discover.
 And whatever action the commission may take and whenever it may take it, let it act courageousy and openly. It will not be sufficient for the mem bers to come into open session. such as the chaI ter must be held and make announce ment of an agreement reached in secret confer ence or star chamber session for which the charter does not provide. Let the decision be made before the people, each member voceing his own conclusion and establishing his own record.
