President Strong, Jr., pres r ident of the Bankers' Trust Company > left for Washington today to see thi i president concerning the plan. The gold was withdrawn from thi treasury department today and placet * in the vaults of the trust company. A1 i that is needed is the sanction of Pres i ident Wilson. Sponsors of the plar admitted that it was unprecedentec but said that the situation require( hepoic measures. To ship the gol< on a liner would be impracticable * No insurance company would write i ' policy, on such a shipment, whicl 1 would be liable to seizure by Euro peau waraiups. Wall street expressed the opinion that no other plan offered even a fail chance of sending the gold safely t( England. Should this proposal meei with rejection, Mr. Strong, it was un derstood, will suggest that the golc be placed on an American liner and that an American warship be sen! with it to insure its safe passage. ONE THOUSAND STRONG Americans Arrive in England Without Means of Getting B*ck Home.

Berlin, August 3.?A further official -communication regarding French acts of hostility against Germany was pub lished here tonight. It said: "The German troops hitherto have obeyed orders not to cross the French frontier. French troops, on the can trary, since yesterday, have made sev eral attacks on the frontier posts without any declaration of war having been made. "The French have crossed the fron tier at several places in spite of the faet that the French government a few days ago informed us that it would not infringe on the unocc?pied zone of six miles from the frontier and since last night companies of French troops have been in occupation of a number of German villages. "In this way, France has opened the attack upon us and has established a state of war which has compelled the German empire to take measures for the security of its territory." booze'goes up, not down Revenue Tax May Be Imposed on All Intoxicants. Washington, August 3.?Administra tion officials are hopeful that congress need not be asked to pass new im port duties on internal taxes to offset the falling off in customs expected from the European war. It was point ed out today that the treasury is in excellent condition and could run probably two months on the funds it now has, without collecting another cent. If a contingency arises the govern ment might augment its revenue in several ways. One would be through an issue or ranama canai Donas, 01 which about$240,000, remain authoriz ed but unissued. To increase internal revenue the ad ministration might extend the income tax to smaller incomes than are touch ed at present and possibly increase the normal and sure tax rates. Another expedient would b e to ask congress to pass a revenue tax measure such as provided funds for the Spanish American war through a stamp tax on commercial and other transactions and an increase on beer and liquor.
