NEW CZECH TROOP
MOVES REPORTED
Germans Charge Neighbors
MobiIizing Along g.
Mile Front.
BY the Associated Press.

BERLIN, July 16.-DN.B. German
News Agency reported from Walden
burg, in Silesia, today that new Czecho-
slovak troop mobilization movements
were observed across the border along
65-mile front from Troppau to Trau-
tenau.
The agency said artillery and ma
chine guns could be seen in position
by observers with the aid of field
glasses.
The roads again were occupied by
military barricades erected at the
frontiers.
The agency's report said the mass
ing of Czech troops was reported
from many points and that a new
German regiment had been sent to
Braunau, in German Austria, near the
southwestern border of CzechoSlo-
vakia.
D. NJ B. said the Sudeten German
population in Czechoslovakia had
been placed in state Of unrest by
CneSe military measures, which came
in the midst of the harvest season,
especially because previous mobiliza-
ton of Czechoslovak reserves in May
greatly interfered with agriculture
work.
At many points in Czechoslovakia
horses and wagons were requisitioned
and roads blocked, German reports
said.
In London the Czechoslovak lega-
ton categorically denied German re-
ports that the Czechoslovak Army
was mobilizing.
A spokesman at the legation said
Jan Masaryk, the Minister to Lon
don, was informed there was nothing
unusual to report"
Troppau and Trautenau are located
near the northern boundary of Czecho-
slovakia, facing German Silesia where
natural defenses Of the republic are
weakest.

TOXIC. July 16-A resolution urg-
ing the Japanese government to use
gold and specie reserves to purchase
raw materials was adopted today by
the Central Price Policy Commission.
Foreign observers called it probably
the most ominous sign Of financial
distress since the conflict In China
started year ago.
If the government commanders the

money will be used largely to import
raw cotton.
Cotton Purchases Licensed.
Finance Minister Seihin Ikeda, who
with other cabinet members issued a
drastic retrenchment program includ-
ing curtailment Of imports except war
materials on June 23, recently licensed
three large purchases of raw cotton
designed to carry textile manufactur-
ers through 1898.
That was part of desperate ef-
fort to regain export markets lost last
year when various government regu-
lations cut both imports and exports
to the bone in an effort to save money
for munitions.
The reserves of the Bank of Japan
total 800,000,000 yen (s232 900, ,0O0)
Normally this Is sufficient to guaran-

All functions Of internal and exter-

tightly controlled that the value Of
the yen is arbitrarily pegged and a
