GOLD REESE RYE IS LARGEST IN
 THE WORLD
Nearly Billion In
 State Bank Vaults
BUSINESS OF NATION ISI HOWEVER TRANSACTED THROUGH THE MEDIUM OF CURRENCY.

PETROGRAD, August 9-The largest hoard Of gold in the world is that held in the vaults of the Russian state bank, amounting now to about $S50,- 100000. Yet a visitor may travel from one end of the Russian empire to the other and not see enough gold coin to buy a pair of shoes. Paper currency is used universally.
 The check system, as it pre- vails in the United States and England, is practically unknown in Russia. Although the larger cities have many fine banks, the ordinary provincial business man distrusts banks, and there are hundreds of thousands of pros porous Russians who have never had banking account in their lives. Their working capital is represented by paper currency of big denomination which they carry in leather bag suspended by thong around the neck. In Russia the visitor may meet shag- gy men whose dress and appear ance suggest the artisan class, who are carrying with them con stantly from $5,000 to $10,0O0 in currency.

rioting renewed in East London.
Crowds of men and women paraded
streets, breaking windows of several
butcher shops conducted by men with
German names and throwing furni-
ture and supplies into the streets.
The crowd also threatened Germans
with physical violence. The police
were temporarily powerless.
The rioting and anti-German de-

Germans are unable to appear on the
streets and many have voluntarily
sought interment in the prison camps
to protect themselves from violence.
