Aim nmeunivc I niiii uuLuiiLt mo HOLD VAST RESERVE OF "RED" RUBLES NEW YORK, Oct. 24. How the vast Russian gold reserve, said to total over 600,000,000 gold rubles, was lost by the Bolshevikl, captured by the anti-Bolshevik forces under Admiral Kolchak, and carried to Omsk, where it is now held, was related today by A. J. Sack, director of the Russian information bureau in the United States. Mr. S&ck s&id "In March, 1918, the Kazan branch cf the R.U3sian State bank was chosen by the Bolshevlki as a depository for their reserves taken from' the Russian treasury, after the coup d'etat of November, 1917. By order of Lenine the vaults of the Kazan bank were hastily fitted out as depositories, and in May, 1918, began the evacuation of the metal reserves from Petrograd, Moscow and other cities of Bolshevist Russia to Kazan. Altogether there were transferred to Kazan within the stated period gold in coins and bullion to the extent of more than 650,000,000 rubles, 531 cases of gold, platinum and various articles such as medals and crosses; 8,000,000 in silver coin and 133.000,000 rubles of state bonds. Loses Vast Reserve. "After the capture of Simbirsk by the Czecho-Slov.iks and the people's army, Lenine and the Bolshevist commissary of the state bank, Popoff, hastened to look for new depositories for the metal reserve. A special fleet of several steamers and barges was fitted out at Nizhni-Novgorod which was to take aboard the reserves at Kazan and transport them to the new depository. "Beginning of the loading operations was scheduled for Aug. 5. But on this very day the Czecho-Slovaks and the people's army began their offensive against Kazan, and the Bolshevlki were able to remove only 100 cases of gold, valued approximately at 6,000.000 rubles. The rest fell into the hands of the anti-Bolshevik forces.
