What has become OF the huge store of
gold Russia IL known to have Ind locked
In the vaults OF the state bank when
the war In Europe broke out In 1914?
That question has been asked many
times and In many quarters since the
czar's government collapsed. Numerous

the disposition OF the $500. 100000 re-

up soon after the Russo Japanese war.
According TO different writer's the Bank
of England was getting the bulk OF the
fund by way of Canada; II was being
handed over TO Germany under the

were .rerlng to exchange II for neces-

movement captured some at, Kazan; the
Siberian ~ ~ernment at Omsk and later
the KoichnA regime were using II for
credit transact IONS abroad, and so on.
