 An investigation conducted by the federal district attorney was followed by the arrest of three members of tile ships crew, charged with violating President Wilson's proclamation of September 10, prohibitine the exporta tion of gold save under license.
 Officials at first were inclined to the belief, they said, that the gold bears some relation to reports that Germany has received gold through communica- tion of her submarines with neutral ships

TELLS IF ATTACK O|V AN AMERICAN
 BASE HOSPITAL
TRepublican A. p. Leased WireI

WASHINGTON, Sept 15.-The first
 complete detailed account of the Ger
 man air attack on American Base Hos
 pital No. ,, in France, on the night of
 Tuesday, September A. has reached
 this country in report from Major
 Grayson M. P Murphy, head of the
 Red Cross in France.
 It was in this attack that Lieuten- ant William T. FitZsimmons of Kansas
 City, the first American officer to give
 his life in the war, was killed; three
 other officers, six privates, a woman
 nurse and P patients from the Brit
 ish lines were wounded. An American
 Red Cross inspector returning to
 Paris from the scene, told the story as follows:
 ''The airplane attack occurred at II o'clock at night. Just at that time.
 fortunately, no convoy of wounded was
 being received or the list of casualties
 would have been far greater as one of
 the bombs fell into the center of the
 large reception tent to which the
 wounded are first borne for examina-
 tion. Ten seconds sufficed for the
 dropping of the bombs from the fast flying plane and within less than a
 minute the surgeons of the hospital were at the task of collecting and at tending those who had been struck dowr. And for "A hours they were at i work in the operating room, one sur geon relieving another when the lat ter, from simple exhaustion, could work no longer.
 And the very next day, just as if
 nothing had happened, these same sur ! geons were called upon to receive and care for 200 wounded sent in from the ; trenches of the British expeditionary force
 "The hospital, which is on the French coast, has 1900 beds under can vas in a quadrangle 800 feet square, is in district where there is many sim liar institutions and is unmistakable : as hospital. At the time the German aviator flew over it most of the surgical staff was engaged in making rounds of the wards. Lieutenant Fitzsimmons how ever, was standing at the door of his tent. There had been a brief warning of the presence of bombing airplane 1 in the neighborhood, because quarter of minute before the sound of explod- , ing bombs was heard from a point perhaps two hundred yards from the i hospital. This warning sufficed to ] cause all lights in the tents to be eX- 1 tinguished immediately and those who ] had been under fire before threw
 themselves face down upon the ground | Then came five explosions in rapid {COntinued on Page Two)
