EMBARGO ON
GOLD EXPORTS
Efforts Made To Prevent
Flow of Bullion From
America
fBy AssocIated Prasa.l )


Washington, Sept. 8. So President
Wilson last night placed an embargo
effective Sept. 10, on the expectation
of coin, bullion and currency. At the
same time he authorized the secre-
tary of the treasury to license such
Expectations where, in the opinion of
the federal reserve board they are
not harmful to the public inter-
est.
The effect of the embargo which
applies to all nations will be to place
absolute control over gold exports
in the hands Of Secretary McAdoo
and the federal reserve board. Off
eials believe that the measure will
go far toward conserving the huge
store of gold accumulated in this
country since the beginning of the
war a store which recently has been
drawn. upon rather heavily by Japan,
Mexico and Spain.
Treasury officials, carrying out the
provisions of the Presidents
proclamation, will place no general
restrictions 1t was said today, upon
the export of gold in settlement OF
legitimate trade balances against the
United States.
Every transaction, however, will be
based upon its own merits. Prac-
tically the only trade balance run
ming against the United States and
being paid in gold. Is Japan's.
Prospective shippers will be re-
quired to show that none 6f the ex-
ported gold will find its way direct-
Is into enemy hands.
The desirability OF maintaining a
high standard of credit abroad for
American business Is regarded as
necessary and no steps viii be taken
under the proclamation TO impair
such credits even should II b'cOme
pecessa ~ TO ship gold IN larger
volumes than the export oe recent
months.

Copenhagen, Sept. s.-Difficulties

Germany already are being felt. The
era of voluntary or compulsory Sc
lection of the fittest establishments
for survival In various branches OF
trade and industries already has
opened, and business will be concen-
trated in these, while others will shut
down. Butchers favor keeping their
places open later two afternoons a

light is unnecessary which during the
north German winter are very few.
Stettin already has suspended street

Mr.. Frost obtained first-hand ac-

the accident.
The explosion occurred in one of
three small buildings known as
detonating dry rooms, where premier
caps are dried. The building in
question has its walls packed with
cinders and every precaution was
taken to prevent accidents.
Fire followed the explosion and
spread TO several other small build

unit. In these there were three and
six inch shells, but prompt work OF
arsenal employees and city fremen
saved the buildings and their con-
tents from destruction.
The force of the explosion was so
great that 1t threw those living in
the vicinity from their. beds. Sol

in keeping the crowd that gathered
from entering the grounds.
tNineteen of the injured were treat
ed at a nearby hospital. One is ex-

Maryland troops are guarding the
arsenal and no one was permitted
to enter the government reserva-

On Mystery
TESTIMONY
SUPPRESSED
Michaelis Claimed 1t Prov
ed That Russia Start
ed The War
(By Associated press.l


Copenhagen, Sept. S.-With the ar
rival here of Russian newspapers.
some light is thrown on the cam
paign which the German government
has been conducting on the strength
OF testimony brought out at the trial
OF General Soukhomlinoff in Petro-
grad for high treason.
Accounts of the trial published in
The Novoe Vremya OF Petrograd
show that in the attempt to prove
that Russia was responsible for be-
ginning the war, the Germans sup
pressed. important parts of the tesr
timony given by General Janusch-
kevitch, former chief of the Russian
general staff.
In its report the semi-official Ger
man news agency omitted a passage
regarding an interview between Gem
eral Januschkevitch and the German
military attache in Petrograd. 1t
appears from The NoYoe Vremya that
General JaHuschkevitcfI, testified that
reports had been received that Ger
man mobilization already was secret
ly in progress. The Russian staff
knew this could be done under the
German law, without formal proc
lamation. whereas in Russia a public
manifesto from the emperor was nec-
essary.
On the following day a dispatch
was received from the Russian am
bassador at Berlin confirming the
previous information that the Ger
man mobilization was in progress.
The emperor then expressed his
thanks to General Januschkevitch,
for not having revoked the mobili-
cation order.
The foregoing dispatch gives the
first intimation from Russian source
in regard to the testimony which the
German chancellor, DR.. Michaelis,
said earlier in the week established
''irrefutably'' that the military party
around the Russian emperor, not Ger
many chose the time for the war.
The chancellor said that IL the Amer
ican government had knowledge OF
this testimony, it's judgment as to
the responsibility for the war as ex-
pressed in the Presidents reply to
the pope, would have been quite diff
ferent,
