WHAT TOMMY
ATKINS EATS
Publication of British Sold
ier's Menu Follows Gen.
eral French S Praise
of the Commits
sary

London, Sept. 24.-When Gen.
French's report of the first weeks
lighting of the British army in
France was received last week it
was noted that in mentioning
the various branches of the SER
vice which had contributed to
the success of the movements, he
laid particplar stress upon the
wonderful work the commissary
department had done. The early
movements of the armygwere in
the form of alternate stands ard
retreats--a fight all day. and a
retreat at night. Yet the com.
missary was able to keep up with
and serve Tommy Atkins and
keep his belly full. And Tommy
fought like a lion although he
did rot relish the continuous
retrograde. Thus Lord Kitche-
ner's promise at the beginning
Of hostilities has been carried
|opt. e., y .
"Every man on the battle line
WILL fight on full stomach" he
SAID and the publication of Tom
my's menu shows plainly that
highlands war minister has made
good his word. Every soldier is
allowed a pound and a half of
bacon and beef per day; pound
and half of bread with cheese
or jam; two ounces of tobacco,
and much to the surprise of the
more radical section of the peo-
pie, generous allowance of rum.
Lord Kitchener, when command
ing operations in South Africa
learned that when hard fighting
or marches have to be undertake
en-, or when troops have to re-
main for long hours without pro-
lection in wet weather, theerum
stimulates the soldier. to his best
effort and minimizes the risk of
chill.

Colorado Coal Company is
Not Willing to Enter Into

CANNOT RELY
ON GOOD FAITH

(. Denver Col, Sept. 23.-Operators
claiming to produce seventy per
cent OF the coal mined In Colorado
today sent letter to President
Wilson on the strike situation.
They expressed willingness to
obey the mining statutes of Colora-
do and to re-employ such striking
coal miners as they think desirable
and for whom there is work at the
mines, but they refused to enter In
TO the three-year truce with the
United Mine Workers of America
or to re-employ all strikers not con-
.victed of crime or to submit to a
final arbItrament of all grievances
lby Federal commission.
| The letter was reply to the COM
Imunication in which the president
urged the perators to adopt the plan
submitted by Hywell Davis and
William E. Farley, Federal medi-
ators, for ending the coal strike. 1t

disregarded of their obligations, the
striking miners, under the direction
of these identical leaders, continued

properties and kill our workmen.

evidently heard him leave his room
as they made break for the front
door and escaped. Frank Giannini
shot at them as they were leaving
the house and as they passed under

Church. One Of the men wore a
stiff hat and dark coat. Presnm-
ably the same men entered the resi-
dence of w. w. Wright, ate every
thing in sight and left five empty
pocket books scattered on the floor
down stairs. Mrs. Wright was
awakened and heard some one In
her room and thinking 1t was Flor

went out the back way and then en-
tered the home>of A. H, Moorehead,
nothing was missed from this place
bat all the doors were left proped
open. One of the men was seized
with an uncomfortable desire to
change his shirt and left the old one

terprising burglars, so far.

NEW YORK, Oct 23.-(11 a. M
While progress measurable scarce
ly more than by inches is being report
ed by the allies in the west, Russia is
announcing stupendOus victories in
the east on a scale out-classing all
previous reports. The Germans have
been driven back west of the Vistula
according to news from Petrograd,
with losses which mention 100000
casualties as the apparent minimum,
and destruction Of half the entire in
vading armies as the maximum.
Previous experience has shown the
necessity for discounting the enthu-
siastic spirit that dominates the
Petrograd dispatch writer's when they
are informing the world of the
prowess of Russian arms. They
seem to measure all engagements on
the gigantic scale of Russian dis
tances and to magnify results in re-
verse ratio TO the far away view OBJ
tainable from Petrograd. That an
overwhelming disaster has happened
to the German forces in Poland and
that they have been routed toward
their own frontier indicates an in
credible number of increasing de-
velopments in the eastern war zone.
Overwhelming obstacles seem to have
been removed from military possi-
bilities by modern strategic methods.

Tho Germans have stubbornly resist
ed the advance ot the allies aud there
has been frequent handto-hand fight
ing. The Germans have mounted their
machine gums in the windows OF tho
houses along the roadside and also in
the various villages through which the
tide of battle has flowed. The losses
of both sides in this fighting have been
very large.
The numerous dykes to the south OF
the Lyds district necessitated the trans
port of planks and ladders to be util-
