prohibited from printing news of the
movement of troops or of. existing
conditions at the trout.
C-iily troop trains are being oper

and Servian borders.

PARIS, July 29.—The French war
department has not stopped Its prep
arations for war. Troop trains are

borders so that at a moment’s notice
the troops may be sent toward Ger

general European conflict which
seems so imminent.
Heavy Drain On Banks.
The runs upon savings banks in
all sections of Germany continues

and but few takers can be secured.
Gold is at a premium.
Germany I* Ready.
The first reserves of the German
army were called to the colors when
the announcement of war between
Austria and Servia was made. The
border guards on the French and
Russian borders have been increased
and the military cantonments1 fit Metz'
and at Posen have been crowded with
troops of the regular army, which has
all been moved towards the border.
The reserves wilt' be' sent southward
as soon as needed. The- second line
of reserves were notified today to

Million*-In Gold Leaves New York.
NEW YORK, July 29.—Because of
the demand for gold in London, Par
is and Berlin, $28,000,000 in bullion
and coin Whs sent from here in the
past five days, every steamer taking
from one to five million.
In the past few months a total of
$125,000,000 In gold has been sent
from here to Europe and the treas
ury department was forced to ship
gold from every sub-treasury and
mint to New York. As far west as
Denver the order was sent te send
gold to the New York sub-treasury.
As the demand for gold continues
Secretary McAdoo has ordered more
shipments to be made, as he fears
to allow the gold • reserves in New
York to drop below their present
level. ' At no"tlme since the Cleve
land administration has the reserve
been as low as at the present time.
