artillery. Russian cavalry secuted far
to the west and south, but otherwise
the army undertook no offensive op-
erations in the days following the bat
tie of Tannenberg.
The enemy's forces, according to
the German official account, were
composed of the Second, Third Fourth
and Twentieth Corps, two reserve di-
visions and five cavalry divisions.
General Hindenburg, the German
commander, meanwhile was assem-
bling every available man, depriving
the fortresses of their garrisons and
calling in all but bare remnant of
the force protecting the southern
frontier in the vicinity of Soldau, add
ing them to reinforcements received
from the west.
Flanling Force South
General Hindenburg again resorted
movement and since the Russian right,
protected by the forest and marshes,
seemed so strong, he adopted the dar-
ing strategy of sending the fanking
force from the lake region to the
south, the same character of move
ment by which the Russian Narew
army was trapped and captured q
short time before, and which, in case
of failure, might have been equally
as disastrous for the Germans.
The strategy, however, succeeded,
although General Rennekampf offered
desperate resistance to the frontal
attacks. After three days fighting
the Russians were forced back slightly
in the center. When the flank move
ment of the Germans was discovered
already threatening the flank, a coun-
ter movement was launched against
1t with a new army collected at Lyck.
including the Twenty-second Corps
and parts of the Third Siberian Corps.
Just arriving from Irkutsk, and the
balance of the defeated Narew army.
but the counter attacks failed, and
on September 10 the Russians began
to fall back on their main position.
The Russian artillery on the right
wing appears to have made a good
general retreat owing to a timely start.
while the left wing was hard pressed
by the enveloping German infantry.
From this wing the Russians retreated
across the border in two columns,
while the main body went northward
and the others in an easterly direc-
ton, pursued by the Germans, who
advanced far from the border.
The German government has ap-
pointed Count Won Merveldt as gov
ernor of the Russian province of Su-
walki and other points occupied by
them.

ADMINISTRATION SETTLES COAL
 STRIKE

A settlement of the labor war that has ragged in the Kanawaha coal fields of West Virginia has been virtually brought about by the government con- ciliation commission, acting under the authority of Secretary Wilson, of the Department of Labor.
 By the agreement that has been made the employers practically recog- nize the labor union to which the men belong, and this was the principal point at issue. Only a few unimport- ant and trival differences now re- main to be adjusted, which will be the duty of another commission.
 This labor struggle was marked by many deaths and destruction of a large amount of property. Armed guards and militia, equipped with ma chine guns, drove the striking miners to the mountains, where many are said to have starved The situation became so bad that the United States Senate conducted a special investigation.
 Under the arrangement reached the operators agree to recognize the "check-off" system. This makes the employers responsible for the dues of their men to the union.
 The question of wages, which is not regarded as serious, is to be taken up by special commission to be named within ten days. One of the commits sioners is to be named by the mine owners, the second by the miners and the third is to be chosen by the two. If the two commissioners fail to agree on the third, he is to be selected by the Secretary of Labor from list of five names submitted to him.
 Secretary Wilson and the admin istration in Washington are to be highly commended for their successful efforts in bringing about industrial peace in the West Virginia coal fields.

The vets and the graybeards of our
national diversion are fiocking back
to the big shop. In the season that
approaches there will be found in the
line-ups of organized baseball many an
old familiar figure. Erstwhile stars
and minor leaguers will appear on
many big league scorecards and
youngsters of Indifferent ability will
have a lookin. The reason being that
our broad land OF liberty is suffering
a ball players famine.
The argument was offered when the
Feds first started their campaign that
there were not enough good ball play
ers and it begins to appear that the
same held a modicum of truth. IL was
said that there was nothing like
enough players to supply sixteen big

City team of the Western league.
Rumors of lawsuits to prevent both
these men from playing do not seem
to bother the Brooklyn manager. He
says the former Philadelphia pitcher
will be on the mound in the Pittsburg
series. and he will be backed up by
Land. With the addition of these two
players the team from New York
state looms up as a pennant contend
er, and the members have a right to

the cold, unpleasant facts and as the
Feds have managed to grab a number
of real major league players the
dearth of good men in organized base
