AMSTERDAM. July 27. The dally recurring public notices printed in con spicuous type in . German newspapers entreating citizens to aid the father land by giving it their gold evidently is insufficient of productive results. The Weser Zeitung, of Bremen, publishes a renewed appeal complaining especial ly that the well-to-do public still fails to realize the situation. The newspaper cites examples of members of the German Imperial and princely houses sacrificing their gold and , jewelry and says competent au thorities calculate that three to four hundred million gold coins are being obstinately hoarded in Germany, while the value of gold ornaments is esti mated at a billion marks.

Wireless Outfits Disguised Found Vse ful la Detecting? Outfits Being; Used by Enemies. LONDON. July 12. (By mail.) The most effective method of combating the German espionage system in the United States is to be found in co operation between the public generally and the police, according to opinions expressed to the Associated Press by high officials of Scotland Tard. Since the entry of the United States Into the war English officials and offi cials of the United States Department of Justice have ben closely co-operating along these and other related lines, and the American agents have been furnished with such information, not only in regard to persons, but in regard to methods of catching those who are working for Berlin. The compact wireless apparatus, easily moved about and within con tainers that disguise its real nature, is to be especially guarded against. Scotland Tard feels. Considerable difficulty has been ex perienced here with the wireless, and the police now freely employ an instru ment through the use of which these enemy instruments are detected. Wholesale internment of Germans will not solve the problem. England has not interned all her German resi dents, but the police are absolutely sure of the connections of those allowed to remain at large. Al Palzer Shot by Father. FERGUS FALLS, Minn.. July 27.
