- 'V-(Hearst News by Longest Leaed Wire.)
. .,' " Paris, Nov. 7. -Never for 20 years has France been nearer to war, 'with
Germany than today. What military orders of defense have been given is
tntirely guesswork, but it is known that Minister Clemenceau has taken all
his, precautions in the east. More significant is the fact communicated to
the Hearst Newt Service correspondent by the American bank in' Paris
that within the last few weeks France has increased . its gold reserve by a
$100,000,000 in actual metal. Germany, battling in the open market, ha
secured nearly -?751UU0I000 in gold; -
" Italy has been equally diligent and has added $50,000,000 to her war
fund, while Austria-Hungary has purchased $20,000,000 in gold. The Rus
sian State bank has augmented its reserve by $50,000,000. More signifi
cant still is the fact that the Bank of France has arranged to buy every
ounce of gold that-comes, from the Cape.v The tension is so great that no
French statesman will speak freely, but ,the possibility of a great Euro
pean war is in the mind of everyone.

says It will not be a difficult matter to

evidence of a surprising nature. "
. Lamphere himself is confident that
lie will be acquitted. Today he ordered
new clothing and told his relatives that
he would. eat Thanksgiving dinner with
- them. It is believed the trial will not
last more than two weeks and Lamphere
Is confident that he will be. freed at
the end of that time.
The attorneys for the defense Monday
morning will move the dismissal of the
Indictment against Lamphere and have
prepared an elaborate argument. , It Is
not believed the motion will be granted.
As soon as It has been disposed of the
