Largest Amount on Deposit in Any Mint or Subtreasury, but Not Greatest Ever Btored in Denver. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver—The stock of gold now stored in the Denver mint by the United States government is the larg est on deposit in any government mint or subtreasury In the country. This condition has been brought about by the European war. Until re cently the subtreasury in New York and the mint in San Francisco had the largest amount of gold. This was due to foreign exchange and the re ceipt of gold from Europe and Asia at these ports. Little gold has come from foreign countries since the war began and as a result the stock in the Denver mint now is larger than in either the New York subtreaß«ry or the San Fran cisco mint. The gold on hand at the Denver mint is $465,000,000. It comprises about one-third of the government’s entire gold reserve. Deposits of bul lion at the local mint have been in creasing lately. The gold now stored in the Denver mint is not, however, the largest amount ever held there at one time. Several years ago it reached $28,000,- 000, the largest amount stored under any one roof iu the world.

PERSHING SHIFTS MEN ARMED FORCES PREPARED TO MEET EMERGENCY—BIG SUP PLY RATIONS PROVIDED. Western Newspaper Union New* Service. Washington, May 10.—With 8,000 additional troops under orders for the Mexican border, including 4,000 na tional guardsmen from Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, administration of ficials felt that necessary steps had been taken to prevent further raiding of American border towns by ban dits. President Wilson and his cab inet discussed the Mexican situation Tuesday, but the President had autho rized the new troops orders before his advisers got there. Gen. Scott and Gen. Funston recom mended that additional forces be sent to the border. After an exchange of telegrams, Gen. Funston suggested that the national guard from the three states be called out, in addition to the sending of all the remaining regular infantry to join his command. His suggestion was promptly approved and orders dispatched. Some members of the cabinet were frankly pessimistic, after the meeting, over the delay of Gen. Obregon in rat ifying the agreement he negotiated with Gen. Scott covering cooperative border operations, including those of Gen. Pershing’s expedition. Reports from Mexico City indicated that the agreement had been approved by Gen. Carranza, and officials were at a loss to understand Obregon’s action. The majority of the President’s ad visers believed the agreement finally would be ratified, and that the border situation would clear itself quickly thereafter. It was clearly intimated in all quar ters, however, that there would be no change in the policy of the Washing ton government; that the troops would stay in Mexico until the border was safe from incursions; that raiders would be pursued across the line every time they became active, and that the whole strength of the national guard would be used if necessary.
