FOR JEWELS
Response in Germany No
Meeting With Success.
Say 500 to 400 Million Gold
Coins Are Being HOarded.

Amsterdam, July 27.-The daily
recurring. public notices printed in
conspicuous type in German news
papers entreating citizens to aid the
fatherland by giving it their gold,
evidently is insufficient of productive
results The weser Zeitung of Bre-
men publishes q renewed appeal,
complaining especially that the well
to do public still fails to realize the
situation and that all gold must be
handed in. The newspaper cites ex-
amples of members of the German
imperial and royal princely houses
sacrificing their gold and jewelry, and
says competent authorities calculate
that three to four hundred million
gold coins are being obstinately
huarded in Germany, while the value
of gold ornaments is estimated at a
billion marks.
The weser Zeitung says the public
often ask whether gold cannot be
loaned instead of given to the German
Imperial bank The answer is no,
because the law demands gold as a
cover for paper money and that ii
must be in bars or coin.
The public is again urged to yield
jewels of all kinds which realize good
| prices abroad and are most useful fol
/ credit purposes there.

would have got to Petrograd. Italy
would not have entered the war; the

Paris. July 27.-Withdrawal of al
lied forces "as soon as possible" from

the allied war conference.
The conferees were expected to I'M
dertake this withdrawal Immediately
on return home. French, British and
Italian troops are now in this terri
tory.
The conference decided however,
to continue provisional occupation of
a triangle between Santa Quaranta
road, Epirus and the frontier, this
strip of land to be under Italy's main
tenance with Greece to arrange a civil
administration under a Greek COM
missioner.
1t was agreed that France, England
and Italy should be able to retain thru
out the war the naval and military
base they established on the island OF
Corfu, in view of the fact that the
whole island is under Greek control

Ottawa. July 2T.-An- attack by
three Austrian cruisers ON line of
British drifters employed in guarding
anti-submarine nets in the Straits of

London dispatch to Reuters limited
Ottawa agency. The account of the
engagement follows:
THE drifters in eight divisions of
about six boats each were formed
along line running roughly east and
west. Each carried a crew of ten
men and one small gun. In one case
the enemy appears to have acted with
chivalry toward the little craft, sig
mailing by means of blasts of the siren
and by dipping the flag that the crews
must abandon their vessels.
Offered Chance to Surrender.
This cruiser approached to within
and ordered her crew to take to the
boats.
skipper J. Watt, replied by order
ing full speed ahead, and calling on
the crew for three cheers, commanded
them to fight to finish. They manned
the gun and fired with good effect
until a. shot from the cruiser disabled
the gun. They hung on under heavy
fire, endeavoring tn repair the dam
age. until the cruiser passed out, of
range.

Leondia which had four men killed
and three wounded and whose skip

manned at his post thruout the action.
Meanwhile the remaining cruisers had

ter of the line.
