S1,S5O,OO0,0OO Gold
Believed, Left in
Paris Vaults
Entire Treasure May
Be Under Water,
New York Hears
BY the Associate Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 25.-Authori-
tative sources estimated today that
Germany may have captured as
much as $3.50 100000 in gold in
the conquest of France-and the
whole treasure may be under water.
This on the assumption that
France did not have Poland's sue
cess in spiriting its gold out of the
country.
The most recent reports available
to banking circles were that France
held $3.50, 100000 in gold in the
rocky labyrinths under the Bank of
France in Paris
To that store was said to have
been added 100000 900 in gold
hastily moved from Belgium when
Germany invaded that country.
The storage vaults are some 80
feet below the surface of Paris
rock foundation and we'll below the
waters of an underground stream
which, Bank of France officials said
years ago, could be diverted into the
vaults at the touch of a button
Vaults Could Be Flooded.
The builders of the vault planned
that, in case Paris ever were cap
tured, the vaults would be flooded
Then, they said, it would require
months at least to locate the source
OF the river, drain it, and re-entel
the underground storehouse.
OF course, no one has announced
how much, If any, of the French
gold stock was removed before Paris
was captured. Nor are there exac,
figures on how much of she tota,
French gold reserve was stored
under "earmark," in United States
Federal Reserve Bank vaults. Un.
disclosed millions of French golo
also have been used ia bGyine
munitions in America.
The Bank of France, in its state.
ment of May 81. reported a gold re.
serve of 84,616,00O, 900 francs-ther
about 1888, 100000. The difference

Iron Mines Valuable.
One of the most valuable acqui.

view, is the iron mines of France
which annually produce 19 per cen,
OF the worlds ore supply compared
with the 4 per cent produced ir
Germany and the 8 per cent pro.
duced in Great Britain.
Since France is primarily an agri.
cultural country, Germany's chic.
booty will be in the form of farm
expansion. France, for example
produces 6 per cent of the worlds
wheat, compared with Germany's 4
per cent. This figure does not take
into account the farming area
taken from Poland.
