 DELIBERATIONS

 Upon Government to Af-
 ford Relief in Gold Situa- ton at Once

RENO, New. Aug. 1.-The Amer. ican Gold Conference concluded q three-day session here today After declaring that many mines have been forced to cease operations because of increased cost of operating in the last six months; that many others are now running at a loss and are about to be closed down or abandoned and that a large portion of the gold mining in- dustry is now threatened with extinc- tiOn, the conference adopted resOlu- ton requesting:
 Relief by the United States to the gold producers of this country to cor respond with the increased cost of pro ducticn. the extent of such relief to be fixed from time to time to meet changing conditions.
 That nothing contained in these res olutions is to be construed as mean ing an intention to alter the amount of gold in the dollar or to place a pre- mium on gold.

GENERAL MARCH POINTS OUT IN CONFERENCE HOW GREATLY ALLIES HAVE BENEFITED BY REGENT DRIVES; WOULD DRIVE BACK OF HINDENeERe LINE

WASHINGTON, Aug. IA new drive against the German positions either in Flanders or between the Disc and SoissOns is expected by many army officers here as a result O. the slowing up of the advance in the Pic ardy theater
 Outlining the situation at his mid week conference today. General March, chief of staff, confined his statements to pointing out that the Germans have now been pushed back until they are not within fifty miles O. Paris at any point. The head of the army has pre- viOusly laid stress on the fact, how ever. that the great advantage won by Marshal FOch in a military way is in having wrested the initiative from the enemy. The opinion prevail ins among other officers is that the present struggle around Rove and Las signy would soon terminate in the cap ture of those points. to be followed by the taking of NoyOn.
 General March said that General Pershing now has 1,250,0O0 American troops organized into the first army corps. Presumably the Americans on the British left flank in Picardy, idn- tified by the chief of staff as the 131st infantry of the 33rd Qllinois) national guard division, are among those still brigaded for training.
 It appears possible to some officers that the organization of the first Amer ican almy might be followed by an all-Amsrican attack at some point on the line which it holds beyond Yer dun. where there has been no recent fighting
 The primary purpose oT the two blows Marshal Foch has struck has been realized. Both in the Aisne- Marne battle and again in Picardy the attacks were defensive measures 10 free Paris from the menace of the two wedges the enemy had driven in that direction. The value of the drives in this respect was pointed out Dy General March today.
 Officers here, therefore, anticipate a complete change in the character of the fighting in the next phase of the battle with FOch's army assuming the offensive in the fullest sense Of the word and striking to force the enemy back in such manner that he cannot avail himself O. his old Hindenblrs line defenses-
 It appears very probable to some ob- servers that the Flanders front might see the next blaze kindled with a double drive by British forces to pinch out the salient there as it has been pinched out at the Marne and again in Picardy.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-OHicial dispatches today from American Con sul General Poole in Moscow lifted the curtain for a moment and revealed an amazing train of events in that city.
 Consul General Poole, after witness ing the violation of the French and British oonsulates and the arrests of the consuls general and their staffs, destroyed his code book and pap CTS and turned the affairs of the American consulate over to the Swedish consul. at the same time demanding safe con duct from the country for himself and his associates.
 French and British citizens have been arrested and the bolsheViki have announced they would hold them as hostages because Of the attack on the soviet government by British and French troops at Archangel.
 Members of the French and Brit ish military mission stationed in Mos COW were refused permission to leave the country. in spite of a previous promise of safe conduct.
 It is possible that since the sending of consul General Poole's telegrams. which began on July 29 and continued until August 6, the situation may have changed, because it is reported that Lenine and Trotzky. the Bolsheviki leaders. have fled and the soviet gov ernment in Moscow may have been overthrown
 Should the situation be unchanged, the American consul generals action in turning his office over to Sweden will not affect the status of other American consuls in Russia, as they have been working with the local gov ernments throughout Russia where pTO-ally feeling is strong.
 The story is told in sequence in the state departments official announce ment Of its advices from Mir. Poole. It follows:

The remainder of the day was confined to a sluggish recip rocal artillery duel
 On the Hanks of the position, which are held by the French, light attacks were repulsed during Tuesday night The French also were subjected to bomb attacks. At no point has there been any alteration in the line
 Not since the German retreat halted has there been aerial raids of the mag nitude of the one today. The Amer jeans stood up well under the lombard ment
 The front line was pounded and al most every village and the roads be- tween were subjected to the bombard- ment, but the great number Of bombs fell on unoccupied ground. This was taken to indicate that the German air men were striking more or less blind ly. Allied anti aircraft guns hampered the enemy somewhat.
 The present German line. which is still regarded as only a temporary one, depends on a defense of machine guns and airplanes. The enemy has concen- trated machie guns at about one every fifty yards. a density rarely ehected. Their aerial defense relatively is far superior to any established hitherto on this front.
