100000 IN GOLD.
STORED BY UNCLE SAM IN DEN-
YER TREASURE HOUSE.
Largest Amount on Deposit In Any
Mint or Subtreasury, but Not
Greatest Ever Stored in
Denver.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver-The stock of gold now
stored in the Denver mint by the
United States government is the larg'
est on deposit in any government
mint or subtreasury in the country.
This condition has been brought
about by the European war. Until re-
Gently the subtreasury in New York
and the mint in San Francisco had
the largest amount of gold. This was
due to foreign exchange and the re-
ceipt of gold from Europe and Asia
at these ports.
Little gold has come from foreign
countries since the war began and as
a result the stock in the Denver mint
now is larger than in either the New
York subtreasury or the San Fran
cisco mint.
The gold on hand at the Denver
mint is S465.000,OO0. 1t comprises
about one-third of the governments
entire gold reserve. Deposits of bull
lion at the local mint have been in
creasing lately.
The gold now stored in the Denver
mint is not, however, the largest
amount ever held there at one time.
Several years ago it reached $2S,OOO.-
900, the largest amount stored under
any one roof in the world. The gov
ernment removed large stocks of gold
to Denver from San Francisco at
that time on account of danger of
trouble between this country and
Japan.

Washington. May 10.-With 5000
additional troops under orders for the
Mexican border, including 1000 ma
tional guardsmen from Arizona, New
Mexico and Texas, administration Of
ficials felt that necessary steps had
been taken to prevent further raiding
of American border towns by ban
dts. President Wilson and his cab
met discussed the Mexican situation
Tuesday, but the President had autho
rized the new troops orders before his
advisers got there.
Gen. Scott and Gen. Funston recon-
mended that additional forces be sent
to the border. After an exchange OF
kilograms, Gen. Funston suggested
that the national guard from the three
states be called out, in addition to the
sending of all the remaining regular
Infantry to Join his command. His
suggestion was promptly approved and
orders dispatched.
Some members of the cabinet were
frankly pessimistic, after the meeting,
over the delay of Gen. Obregon in rat.
flying the agreement he negotiated
with Gen. Scott covering cooperative
border operations. including those of
Gen. Pershing's expedition. Reports
from Mexico City indicated that the
agreement had been approved by Gen.
Carxanza. and officials were at loss
to understand Obregons action.
The majority of the Presidents ad-
visers believed the agreement finally
would be ratified, and that the border
situation would clear itself quickly
thereafter.
1t was clearly intimated In all quar-.
ters. however. that there would be no
change in the policy of the Washing
ton government; that the troops would
stay in Mexico until the border was
safe from incursions; that raiders
would be pursued across the line
every time they became active. and
that the whole strength of the national
guard would be used II necessary.

UP FOR CANADA
And No Notwithstanding His

Per Acre.

So many Americans now have per
sonal knowledge of Canada that false
reports concerning this country are
being continually corrected by Amer.
leans themselves who know the facts.
and who are too fair-minded to let q
false statement go unchallenged. A
case in point arises out of a statement
supposed to be made by a resident Of
Alberta, and published recently in the
Spokesman-Review, of Spokane, in
which the condition of settlers in this
country was painted in a very bad
way indeed. The writer of this at
tack on Canada refused to let his
name be known, so it can be taken
for what it is worth, but Mr.. S. L.
Wallace, of N 4723 Crestline, Spokane,
who lived for some years in Western
Canada, came to the defense of the
country in the following letter which
was published in the Spokesman-Re-
view of February II, 1876
ITO the Editor of the Spokesman-Re-
view:
I'm Sundays Spokesman-Review was
a letter from a man in Alberta to the
chamber of commerce, asking that
something be done to keep Americans
from going to Canada, and saying that
that government was run by the rail-
roads, banks and manufacturers; that
once a man got there he never could
get away. Had this man published
that letter owe his own signature
there is no doubt but he could get out
of Canada.
No country will do as much to help
a mar to get on his feet, if he tries to
help himself, as Canada. | know of

visions, feed, seed grain and fuel, and

CAPTAIN FOULOIS, FLYER

1t is no new experience for Capt.
Benjamin D. Foulois, dean of the
United States army aerial corps, to
fly e Mexican troops or Mexican
soil. Back in the spring of 1911 he
did both-and more; he took a high
dive into the Rio Grande, plunging
deep into the mud on the Mexican
side, whence he had to be pulled out
by a Mexican lasso and a Mexican
mustang.
Aviators who have instructed Fou-
lois and followed his career say that
no more competent officer could have
been selected to command the First
Aero squadron now with Gen. John J..
Pershing's expeditionary column.
Captain Foulois is thirty-five years
old, a native of Connecticut and rose
in the army from the ranks. AS a
private he saw service in the Philip
pines with the Nineteenth infantry.
After getting his commission he was
assigned to the Seventeenth infantry.

GARDNER is NO COWARD

No one ever accused Representa-

chusetts of not being a brave man.
Gardner has moral courage, else he
would not have undertaken to start a
fight for better national defense at a
time when public opinion was not
with him-there being no war in sight
then to help him out. Here is an ex-
cellent example of his courage in an
other direction:
A few years ago Gardner began to
take on weight. To be frank, he grew
fat. Having in mind the days when
he was athletic and supple, he set
about reducing by means of systematic
exercise. He played golf-the game
that, as somebody was saying, has
