That the strike In Colorado is now
over, in so far as it affects the abil-
ity of The Colorado Fuel and Iron
company to supply the market re-
uuirements of coal, is set forth in
the annual report Of the stockhold-
ers OF that company by President J.
F. Welborn, which states:
"Our former employees have been
very anxious to secure work again at
our mines, and we have quite will
ingly taken back such as we had rea-
son to believe were not connected
with violence. The result is now a
working force that is producing suf-
ticient coal to more than supply the
somewhat reduced market require

Trajectory as today. In Belgium, in
France, in Galicia and in Russian
Poland, and in the Caucasian re-
gions, fighting is proceeding with
varying degrees of intensity, but
there was little in the way Of au-
thenticated news to indicate note
worthy changes in the fortunes Of
any of the contending nations.
Rumors of the sinking of the Brit
ish superdreadnought Audacions
more than fortnight ago, were con.
frmed by mail advices.
The French war office, in today's
official statement again asserted that
minor successes had been won in
Belgium, but in the main the great
battle for possession Of the North
sea COAST Of France apparently is
proceeding about the same as here
tofore. Near Nieuport on the North
sea in the region of Ypres and be-
tween LaBassee and Arras across
the French border, successes by the
allies are reported, either in the way
of repulsing German attacks or max
ing slow advances.

along the line, with especially sharp
fighting in the Argonne, the scene
Of bitter contests for weeks past. In
this locality, the French war office
says, a German attemp attempt to re-
capture two towns met with failure.
German military authorities made
no modification of their previous as
sertions that their forces were slowly
pushing onward at various points in
Belgium. Unofficial advices from
Berlin showed that the German peo-
pie were increasingly optimistic on
account Of the latest reports from the
front. Turkey renewed her claims
to victory over the Russian forces,
stating that the invaders are being
pushed back to Russian soil. A sur
prise attack by the Turks, CONSTANT

success that the Russians were
driven back toward Batoum, losing
several towns. n abttle near Err

lost $500 men. Petrograd. how.
ever, reports steady progress in the
campaign against Turkey.
OF what is happening in the great
struggle further north between the
Russians and the Teutonic allies
there was no further word.

The slackening of the Teutonic Of

as due to the fact that Germany is

counter anything in the nature of a

carried forward today, hope grew in

ported to have entered into until

Gonzales. the leading general upon
whom he depends, to come to Mexico
