BRITISH GOLD ON
WAY TO AMERICA
More Than Eight Million Dollars or
Steamship For American
Banks
tRy The Associated Preas.)

NEW YORK, July S.-There was a
golden opportunity at sea today for
buccaneers that some people believe
have been stealing ships right out in
the ocean. Five steamers ploughing
through the Atlantic to New York now
have more than eight million dollars
in British gold to be delivered to
American banking houses. All are
passenger carriers heavily manned and
bankers express no fear of pirates
looking for pieces of eight.
The Mauretinia has more than five
million dollars in gold aboard while
other shipments are on the Olympic,
Carmania, Lapland and Oropesa.
Already this week nearly eleven mill
lion dollars in gold has been unload
ed from steamers here. BY mid-July
almost four hundred million dollars in
gold will have been imported since
the first of the year.
Banking house figures show that
there is now more than three billion,
two hundred million dollars in gold
stored IN the United States, the larg-
est amount ever accumulated in this
country, and about one-third of all the
gold in the world.

The last election influenced the re-

LAS soon as we hear Mr.. Devalera
is prepared to enter into conference

control to cease all acts of violence,
we should give instructions to the
troops and police to suspend active
operations against those who are en-
gagged in this unfortunate conflict"
General MacCready's presence at the
conference has additional Significance
because it has been stated that the
"militarist party" in Ireland has been
strongly opposing peace negotiations
and any idea of a truce.

Another matter that has been widely
discussed today, arising out Of the

that the military evacuation of ireland
