1t is impossible for the outside world
to know the exact amount. but it is
v%ariously stated at from 100000, 900 to
500, O0O, 900 and is said to be in coins
of 10 and 20 mark pieces, besides
money in gold from France, England
and Russia mainly. 1t is kept in iron
chests on which are written the names
and addresses Of the generals and adj
mirals of the nation. Certain sums are
set aside for the commanders on GER
tain frontiers. and also some are de-
signed for secret spy service. In case
Of war, as at present, these packages
can be Immediately sent by military
force to each commander, who knows
at once just the amount to be eXpend-
ed in a certain time by his troops.
At specified periods during the year
all this treasure is counted and weigh,
ed as we'll. This performance is under
taken with great ceremony in the pres
ence of several army officers, each one
being from a different part Of the
country and each being required to
take an oath that he does not know
his brother officers. These huge chests
are also in the charge of a special Of
ficer, who is called upon to check uE
the accounts Of the examining men,
but this officer is not informed in adj
vance of the coming Of the counters
ed time.
The chests are in an immense stone
chamber below the level Of the river
so that in case Of any danger of loot
ing the place could be flooded. En-.
trance to the treasure room is by
means Of tunnels which open into 6

on duty. Before each tunnel is a guard
Other sentinels walk up and down the

Behind the entrance is q seconC
guardroom, and there is a third on thu
roof, which keeps an outlook over thu
country. At different times during thu
night unexpected inspections are made
of every part Of the building. Nothing

GERMAN HOARD
STORED IN TOWER
Here the Kaiser Keeps a Great
War Fund.

TATHERE all the money IS to
!" come from with which the
great wal in Europe is being
conducted is q mystery to
many. Yet for just such a conflict as
the present Germany has been prepar-
ing financially for years. And this
hoard, which was known as the war
chest, or war fund, was watched oyer
carefully, but never spent. 1t is report
ed that the fund has been literally
drawn upon Of late.
The beginning Of the fund was in
1871, when Bismarck, having conquer
ed the French, compelled them to pay
a sum Of many millions in gold to
Germany. Thirty million dollars Of this
was laid aside for q nest egg, not to
be touched until the next war came.
In the meantime Germany went on &C.
cumulating money rs well as training
her army and building big guns.
In the Julius tower in the citadel Of
Spandau, in the province of Brandon
burg, Prussia, this treasure is stored.
Spandau is a town Of several thou
sand people not far from Berlin, on the
banks of the river Spree. 1t is full
of powder factories, military schools,
artillery bureaus and many other en-
terprises connected with the army and
was once the home Of n of the an
cestors Of the present kaiser.
In Spandau and about twelve miles
from the Palace of Potsdam-the kai-
ser's residences the great fortress or
citadel Of which the most conspicuous
part is the huge and massively built
tower Of Julius. 1t Is made Of solid
blocks Of basalt stone and it's founda'

river. Grim and frowning, it it

 he made the journey to the outside
 owing to a strike and that the expense of his journey was borne by himself and did not cost the city one cent in
 accordance with an agreement with the council. He said that il was sad day for him when he had to leave with out it. He declared that he had not been bribed as had been suggested and all reports to that effect were lies Hr indorsed in general the matters advo- cated by the previous speakers and opined that the city would face trying times during the next twelve months and it might be necessary to leVy a tax on property in June as there was not over one months supply of funds on hand at present In the event of the saloons being closed he advocated that taxation be levied in November on such scale as would produce a revenue equal to that of the present time
 The band then played cheerful air after which the chairman introduc- ed Councilman Orland Mr Orland stated that the previous speakers had stolen all hs thunder as he was un- fortunately far along on the program. He said that many have said that tho city could be run without the saloons, hut personally he could not see where the money was to come from and the others did not explain The saloon, he said had no more interest for him than any other business but he could not see where We could dc without them and bridge tile gap in revenues which would result if they were ahol- ished Taxation would have to be les sened as it was at least four times as high as it ought to be On the gam bling question he said that it was a matter of duty for every citizen who knew of the cXistance of gambling to report it and that it was matter for the police to look into as they were sworn to that duty rather than the council.

 In the treasury. on the temperance
 guestlon he stated that he had repu
 tation for being dry He believed that follow the closing of the saloons would he more than made mp if the taxee were assessed after the close of navi eation The need for an adequate school system was also endorsed. the speaker stating that he had had somr difficulty In that regard and had taught nlnSeI dll lutt He Htu tf'ii u'u NHi'' 'lt the United States In the event of his election he would act for the best in terest of the taxpayers and stated that if the people did not think he would make an efficient councilman he did not want them to vote for him
 The band then played and the audi cnce commenced to file ont and many missed the primary event of the even ing which the chairman was withhold ing Mir James stated that it was in tended that the matter of making tho offices of City Clerk, City Treasurer. and City Attorney elective was to be discussed and if such procedure should receive the endorsement of tho mass meeting the fact would be tele- to the legislature in Juneau with fl request that they act on thu same. but as the greater part of the audience had left it would not be voted on.
