discovery of what is believed 10 be
the entire German gold reserve by
the Goth Division Of the Third
Army.
Yesterday afternoon two Ger
man women who were on their
way TO find a midwife for a friend
were stopped by two American
military policemen for crossing
out of bounds.
As the MPs and the women
walked past the mine, one OF the
women said:

What did you say?"
The woman repeated her state

investigated and found the trove

the gold bullion, the salt mine also
Seltered a priceless art collection

~The gold was brought from
Berlin by train, starting Feb.

treasures was brought In"
Vieche told a correspondent.
II was some time before the
American doughboyS got into the
gold vault because the Germans

ART BURIED DEEP
The storage vaults are so deep
that the trip down in an elevator
takes two or three minutes. The
statues and paintings were in

Pwed no inclination to run away

Rave is a small, slim man. He
asked the correspondent in what

EVERPRESENT at this time of
the year is the danger Of fiedg-
llngS dropping from nests and
being easy prey for cats and dogs.
Many letters have asked that
We give some indication in this
column as TO the care and treat
ment Of these young orphans"
The very best treatment" is TO
get the fledgling back into the nest
as quickly as possible.
However, some birds so far re-
sent the scent of human hand on
their young, that they will desert
them.
So in all cases IL is wisest 10
move the bird on cardboard, or a
sturdy. wide spatula rather than
touching him with your hands.
There is always the possibility
that the parent bird may have
met with an accident and that cold
or hunger has caused the f1edgling
to fHtteF from the nest, so il is
wise TO watch the nest 10 be sure
the mother reclaims her young.
