GOLD RESERVE OF
GERMANY SHRINKS
Report Shows Decrease of Sew
enty-Six Million Marks, De.
spite Appeals to Peo.
pie for Jewels.

Copenhagen, June 2o.-For tn,
first time during the war the week.,
report of the Imperial Bank of Ger.
many shows a decrease in its golc
reserve which this week is 76,00O,O0C
marks below the preceding week. In.
crements for a long time have been
STEADILY declining despite energetic
propaganda appeals to surrender
jewelry.
The bank, heretofore, however, has
been able, though often by the scan
tiest OF margins, to avoid the humil-
iating acknowledgements that the
growth paused entirely.
This weeks decrease is attributed
semi-offlcially to heavy purchases
abroad. The increase of the gold re-
serve has long since ceased to keep
pace with the increase in note circu-
lation.
No Longer on Specie Basis.
The bank several months ago was
compelled to abandon the old legal
basis of gold and silver covering for
paper circulation and supplement
metallic covering by reckoning COM
mercial paper to make up the pre-
scribed one-third cover.
With the gold supply failing despite
utmost efforts, federal authorities of
late devoted their chief energies to a
campaign to restrain an increase in
note circulation by promoting the
use of checks and bank transfers in
stead OF cash.
Large Payment to Holland.
London, June 29,--According to a
dispatch to the Times from Amster-
dam, German specie from the Impe-
rial Bank of Germany has been re-
ceived there. The German gold has
been consigned to several Dutch
banks.
The correspondent says it obviously
is a small part Of the German debt to
Holland, chiefly for foodstutf, and is
the only practicable method of pre-
venting further serious damage to the
reputation of the German mark.
The morning newspapers comment
on the significance OF the decrease in
the returns of the Imperial Bank Of
Germany, saying they have been ialsi-
fed throughout. They say thai al
though payments are never admitted,
the fact is that gold has been sent
out of the country from time to time.
The Times says the real difficulty
for Germany is whether the gold It
send abroad will ever come back.

ROOT VISITS RUSS
GENERAL STAFF
American Mission is Given a
Hearty Reception by Com.
mander of Army and
His Associates.

Petrograd, June 2o.--Elihu Root
head Of the American commission, and
Foreign Minister Tereschtenko re-
turned to Petrograd yesterday after
a brief visit to staff headquarters.
where they were welcomed by Gen.
eral Brussilof, in the name of the
Russian army, which, declared the
commander-in-chief, would continue
with all the powers at its, disposal not
only to fight for its own cause-that
OF fortifying liberty recently acquired
but at the same time hand-in-hand
with America to fight for the right
Of all nations to shape their destinies
in accordance with their own desires.
There was little in the small coun-
try town of Mohilev to correspond
with conventional view of general
staff headquarters. The atmosphere
of formality, secrecy and dignity
which distinguished it when it was
the home OF former Emperor Nicho-
las had departed since the revolution.
There is nothing left to arrest the
attention of the observer, except the
emperor's residence, which is now oc-
cupied by General Brussiloff and the
military hotel where members of the
staff are quartered. Otherwise it is
a peaceful village nesting on the bank
of the Dnieper 200 miles from the
firing line.
Only small groups of soldiers were
present to watch the imperial train
carrying the comission draw into the
station. Despite the fact that the
train, which was such common sight
in imperial days, has not been seen
in Mohilev since the abdication of the
emperor, it evoked little curiosity.
A few soldiers, thinking they might
find accommodations therein, crowded
on board, but when they were told
that it was being used by the Ameri-
can mission, they Immediately dis
persed.
Wednesday noon the commission
lunched with General Brussloff and
soon thereafter Major General Scott

commission, escorted BY Russian gen.
eral staff officers, departed for Kiev.

MUZZLE IS PUT ON
GERMAN PAPERS
Dutch Dispatches Say Some
thing Drastic Has Happened
or is About to Happen in
the Kaiser's Domain.

London, June 29.-Special dis,
patches from Rotterdam say it is in.
ferred there, in view Of the gaggine
of the German press, that something
drastic has happened or is about to
happen in Germany.
They quote the Frankfurter Zeitung
complaining that it was compelled to
issue its political section until further
notice without an independent express
sion or opinion and say the censor
ship now far exceeds anything pre-
vious. The press is declared to be
completely muzzled. 1t is said the
real secret Of the paper shortage is
government move to compel news
papers to print such bare news al
lowed, excluding commentary matter.
The belief is expressed in Holland that
next weeks meeting of the Reich
stag may produce startling develop
ments.
News Falsihed by Officials.
Copenhagen, June 2S.--The manipu-
lation OF the German press by the
authorities, the employment of the
vast apparatus of the war press Of
fee for filling the newspapers with
special dispatches and semi-official ac-
counts and comments on military
events, the plain and fancy distor-
tions OF truth by the admiralty press
bureau, working in the spirit instilled
by Won Tirpitz, and the glaringly in
accurate announcements OF brilliant
crop prospects put forth regularly be-
fore and at harvest time, have repeat
edly been referred to in dispatches,
together with descriptions OF the
working OF the censorship to prevent
any free discussion of public prob
lens in Germany.
Editorial Comment Suppressed.
It now, is possible to cite the testi-
mony of German newspapers, which,
writhing under the government cuts
in. their paper supply, speak their
minds freely on the conditions in the
profession, The Deutsche Volks Zei-
tung Of Hanover, for example, writ
ing OF the government efforts to con-
troll and direct sentiment, says that
the contents OF the German papers
are almost word for word, the same
in all the papers, as these are fed
from the same source and are not
permitted BY reason of the censorship
restrictions'to take any independent
line in news or views.
Parenthetically, it may be re-
marked that it is an offense punish
able by martial law for an editor to
omit comma or a word from a COM
munieation issued by news agency
and designated as official.

CANADIAN LABOR
THREATENS STRIKE
Leader Says General Walkout
Will Follow Draft Unless
it is First Approved
by People.

Ottawa, Ont, June 29.-The dec
laration that a general strike OF or
ganized labor in Canada will be called
if the government attempts to apply
conscription without first obtaining a
majority by the people was made in
Parliament last night by Alphonse
Verville, who represents the district
OF Malsonneuve, part of the city Of
Nc ntreal. He is the only labor men,
Der of the Canadian house and for
many years was president of the Ca
madam Trades and Labor congress.
Mr.. Verville declared that in strik-
ing Canadian labor would have the
support of organized labor in the
United States, although there would
be no strike there. The announce
inent was made in speech on the
government compulsory service bill.
Il want this parliament to under
stand" said Mr.. Verville, that pas
sage and application of this measure
means general strike and it means
national calamity. Even if there is
exemption, there will be no change
in labor's determination. 1t is mat
ter of principle.
1T is not too late yet to avoid
this calamity. If the people of Can
ada by direct verdict support con-
scription, then organized labor will
submit loyalty to the decision; but
organized labor, which must bear the
brunt of conscription, has been ig-
nored and never consulted by the
Canadian government"
Organized labor in the United
States would be loyal to President
Wilson, but would cooperate, Mr..
Vervile said in the protest of labor
in Canada against the decision of the
Canadian government, which has been
made without consulting labor:>
Mr.. Verville said last February he
visited Detroit, Chicago, Indianapo-
lis, Cleveland and Buffalo and con-
ferred with labor men relative to the
prospective participation of the
United States ip the war.

year canned 1898 quarts of vegetables.
The average cost was IA cents a quart
The experts of the Department of Agri-
culture fixed a market value for the
product, which left theoretical profit
of S2420. The club included 90 mother
daughter" teams, each consisting of
mother and daughter either genuine or
adopted for the occasion. In some
cases the daughter was a son. Of
course, the performance of this club is
record rather than typical, for il is the
prize organization of a farming state,
where the women are experienced in
canning and preserving, but none the
less it shows that club canning can be
carried on very prof ably and has its
attractions even without the stimulus
of patriotic duty.
For the rural district, the canning
club has a high value as social factor,
in addition to its practical side. 1t is
the successor to the Old-time "quiltin'
bee" in spirit. although the members
buy their quilts by mail and come to
the canning club centre in automobiles.
The good cheer and sociabiity of the
quilting bee survive in the canning club.
Not long ago Kansas man went to buy
a farm that was advertised for sale,
and found that the owner had changed
his mind. I'VE didn't think much of
the neighborhood at first and we want
ed to move, " he said. "Butnow they We
started a canning club, and we've de-
cided to stay"
The canning club idea has been work
ed out in considerable detail, and shown
itself capable of numerous happy ap-
olications. Various forms of the CON-
munity club are thriving; buying of raw
materials IN bulk has been found a
great economy; the exchange of veg
etables between different clubs has dis
posed of some of the problems of sur
plus and lack, from the point of view
of the bill of fare.
Meanwhile the agents of the States
Relations Service continue to demons
trate, and the canning movement con-
tinues to grow. 1t is too early yet to
Judge exactly what results the cam
paign has yielded. There has been so
much canning by amateurs and begin
ners that only time can tell the per-
centage of success. But we know that
immense quantities of food have been
canned, and priceless experience gain
ed for the hard winters that may well
lie ahead.

That is not to be thought of. There

The German people could get better
terms now by forcing their government
to an unconditional surrender than they
can hope for in defeat, and they would
save more than they would have at the
conclusion of drawn war. A compre-
hensive statement for their benefit
rather than further defiances of the
Prussian Government capable of various
interpretations might accomplish much.

NEW MOTOR LAW.
Commission Issues Instructions
On How To Comply.

Clear Lens-If the motorist does not
wish to go to the expense of purchasing
a non-glsring lens, he can. readily COM
ply with the law by having his head
light brackets tilted forward from / to
inch, as may be necessary, so that the
reflected beams of light will not rise
more than AZ inches from the level sur
face on which the automobile is stand
ing at distance of rs feet in front of
the car.
A clear glass lens may be used when
law.
Non Glaring Lens-If, on the other
hand, the motorist does not care to
bend his lamp brackets he must proceed
as follows, in order to comply with the
law:
1st. Brackets-See that the head
light lamp brackets are not bent, so
that the axis of the front of the head
lamp, when mounted on the brackets
and measured up and down and from
side to side, will be perpendicular and
horizontal respectively to the level sur
face upon which the car stands.
End. Bulbs-See that the electric
bulbs in the head, lamps are both of the
same candle power, and preferably of
the same manufacture.
Bird. Focus-See that the electric
bulbs in the head-lamps are properly
focused.
To do this turn the current into your
headlamps, cover one of them up, take off
the door of the remaining headlamp and
by means of the focusing device move
the bulb either backward or toward
until the reflected beam of light ahead
of the car is parallel with the road.
Then remove the door of the other
headlamp and follow the same instruc-
tions. Then while the doors are still
removed see whether the reflected
beams from both lamps are parallel
with each other and parallel to the level
surface upon which the car stands.
If so, both lamps are properly TO.
cused.
Next put on the doors of the lamps
containing the non glazing lens you have
decided to use, and your equipment then
should comply with the law.
Up to the present time non glarinp
lenses such as More Lite, Warner, Os-
good, Lancaster, Corning (clear glass, J
Corning (novial glass; Legalite, ETC.,
have been inspected by the State Board
of Headlight Inspection and duly ap
proved.
The maximum candle power that NAV

A Ford car whose headlight equip.
ment is operated by a magnetic con.
nected with the fly wheel, and contains
Warner or More-Lite lens, will not
comply with the law.
Dash Lamps or DINNERS containing
reflectors must not be used with bulbs
over four candlepower.
The Rear Lamp must be so mounted
that the light will shine on the rear H.
cense tag making all of the numerals
discernlble not less than twenty-five
feet in the direction from which the
vehicle is proceeding.
If the lamps Inspected meet the re.
quirements of the law the officers will
place seal on the right head lamp,
which will hold the user of that vehicle
immune from arrest so long as his
equipment has not been changed O,
altered.
There will be no charge for this ser.
vice.
Motel is not compulsory to have
