PREPARED FOR WAR.
In the New York Times of July
19th is the following article, show
ing to whaf extent the military prep
arations by France and Germany have
reached and indicating that both
sides were carefully watching each
move made by the other. The article
in reference is as follows:
“The New York Times correspond
ent has just learned an amusing in
cident throwing characteristic light
on the unerring thoroughness of the
French intelligence service. A Ger
man frontier cavalry regiment, near
Metz was recently alarmed early in
the morning and was ordered to car
ry out a make-believe war manoeuvre
consisting in occupying a certain
strategic point on the adjacent fron
tier.
“The regiment executed the order
with brilliant dash and with the
greatest punctuality, but the officers
were astonished to find, as they ap
proached the spot, that a full regi
ment of French cavalry was. also rid
ing toward the same point from the
other side of the frontier. The two
regiments arrived at the border line
practically simultaneously. Both the
German and the French officers con
sidered it a huge joke, and, dismount
ing, mingled for agreeable conversa
tion and exchanged smokes for a
matter of fifteen minutes.
"The French had prompt knowl
edge of the manoeuvre, and met it.”

Accumulated $760,000,000 Only a Few
Months Ago So As to Be In
Readiness for Present War.
The following article in the New
York Evening Post, of a recent is
sue, telling of the accumulation of
gold by the Russian government in
dicates that the governments of Eu
.rope were preparing for war. The
article bears the date of June 15, al
■ most’ two months ago, and was sent
from Vienna to New York:
“The latest reports from Peters
burg show that the Russian govern
ment has all at once stopped purchas
ing gold. During the first three
months of this year, Russia had
bought up all the gold that was Of
fered in the market. The result was
that in the course of one year, gold
in the Imperial Bank of Russia had
increased by $100,000,000, so that it
now amounts to $795,000,000. This
is the biggest amount of gold ever
owned by any note-issuing bank in
Europe.
“It has been generally assumed on
this market that Russia is accumu
lating all this gold for an eventful
war, which perhaps it does not think
far off. But this is merely gratui
tous inference. Curiously enough, the
Russian money standard is suffering
severely in consequence. Ruble notes
are quoted at a lower figure than has
been the case for the last twenty
years, for the reason that all the
available gold is kept under lock and
key in the safes of the Imperial Bank,
instead of being at the disposition
of trade. But in the meantime, the
return of Russian securities from
foreign parts, and the extensive im
ports of foreign goods by Russia, nor
mally demand export of a large
amount of gold to make payment in
foreign currencies.
“The Russian financial administra
tion, therefore, finds it impossible to
maintain its attitude of persistent
hoarding and has had to change that
policy. The market, in other words,
has had to be provided with gold from
the Imperial Bank. Unless this new
plan is followed up in the future, a
serious crisis may be looked forward
■ to in the market.”
