MAY ASK GOLD
Continued from Page One)

was quoted as saying in response to a
question as to how America could help
best leather, iron and" with empha-
sis, money"
The sending of actual money out of
the country to any of the Allies would
establish a precedent here and would
be diametrcally opposed to the Am
erlcan governments present policy
which aims at the conservation of the
huge store of gold piled up since the
war started. AS a means of making
such conservation effective gold was
placed, by presidential proclamation,
on the list of commodities which must
be licensed for export and the Federal
Reserve Board, under Secretary Nc
Adoo's supervision, announced a pol
icy of holding gold exports to the mini
mum.
Do Russia More Good Hero
American gold, officials asserted to-
day, can do Russia more good if it
remains in this country, There is
unanimity of opinion among officials
that Russia S need would have to be
supreme to warrant the actual trans
portatlon across the ocean Of a ship
ment of American gold of any appre-
ciable amount.
The American government apparent
~ is entirely willing to grant further
requests for credits. 1t has granted
Russia's requests with alacrity in the
past and Secretary McAdoo has an
nounced repeatedly that the treasury
would place money wherever it would
be most effective in fighting Germany.
Has Not Expended All Credits
SO expeditiously has the treasury
acted in establishing Russian credits
that until today, Russia had not ex-
pended the first three credits estab-
lished for her benefit in this country
totalling S325.000,000.
The formal transfer today to Rus
sian account of s3l,70o00o from the
treasury to the Federal Reserve bank
of New York brought the total she has
withdrawn up to $3.50 600. 900 or s15. 900, =

On the Italian front the Austro- Ger

Tagliamento river with the Teutonic
forces on the east and Gen Cadorna's
army on the western side of the stream
as far as is known the enemy has not
yet been able to cross the river, which
is in freshet. but it seems apparent
that from the Carnic Alps south along
the battle line to the head of tho
Adriatic the Italians now are holding
their new line of defense securely.
Italians Eager for Battle
Meantime, with the Italians waiting
for eventualities on the eastern Friuli
plains, the sentiment in Italy among
all classes is seething with patriotic
fervor with even the older Garibaldi
veterans and men invaded home from
injuries in the present war desiring to
rush to the scene of hostilities and
lend their aid in repelling a further
invasion of the enemy.
On the other fronts. there have been

Mr.. Powell said that the machinists
walked out without comforting with the
officers of the company and without MAX
ing any attempt to adjust any grievances.
1.-The last raise was the biggest single
raise ever made at this yard. 1t has been
