confined to any particular locality
but reach from Maine TO California
It is a fact however that the most

where the class of young men who
compose the membership OF the
western clubs are not that class to
whom golf and tennis appeals. a
great aid also to success in these

great many OF these clubs have been
organized in fraternal and patriotic
societies. at the present time there
are organized and affiliated with the
National Rifle Association clubs with
a membership of 1888.
One feature of this movement has
been the organization of numerous

GOLD IMPORTS IN TEN MONTHS WILL REACH $|OO,OOO,OOO Greatest Movement of Yel- low Metal Since Admins tratiOn of Mckinley PANIC OF 1907 ALSO
 SET NEW RECORDS England Was Especially Glad to Send Gold Here Because She
 Wanted to See Panic
 Stopped
By HOLLAND

New York, June 16-(Special) Very likely by the end of the present fiscal year, certainly by August 1, unless there comes an unexpected change in the move ment of gold, there will have been im- ported approximately $10oo00,00o of gold since January l. Practically all of this gold was or will be delivered in New York. There are still nearly three weeks before the close of the present fiscal year, and in the second week of June it was possible to report that. a little over s9s,000.oO0 of gold had come into New York, almost all of it from Canada.
 These transactions will hereafter be re- corded in the history of the American financing compassed in ten months of the fiscal year which ends on June 30, 1915, and will be spoken of as without any precedent and as containing some extra ordinary features. Furthermore, there will be comparison with other imports of gold of like amount due to emergency conditions within about 15 years. com parison of this kind will serve to show how momentous, even stupendous. have been the changes in the financial strength of the United States within 15 years.
 In the latter part of President McI<in- ley's first administration, gold imports the movement of which lasted about three months, were received in New York ag gregating about $1oo,oOo,0Oo, or substan- tiaily an amount equal to that which has been received in New York city since Jan uary 1 of this year. That movement in McKinley's time was phenomenal It told the story of the unexpected and remark able change which had taken place in the United States since his inaugura tion. It also, indirectly at least, emphasized the opinion of Europe respecting the wis dom of the establishment of the gold standard by Congress in McKinley's first administration.
 There were some curious features of .his
