HARVEST OF GOLD IN U. S.
America Has More Of Yellow Metal
Than Any Nation in His
tory OF World.

Washington, Aug ia rich har-
vest of gold has been the reward of
neutrality in the great war; without ex-
ception the trading countries which
have remained neutral have all great
ly increased their holding of gold. The
United States added to her gold stock
until she now has approximately So
000,000000 in gold, greater amount
than any single nation ever held in the
history Of the world Since this coun-
try's entrance into the war, gold has
still continued to come in because war
participation has not diminished the
ability of the United States TO sell
vast quantities of supplies.
