: tween Complegne and Solss0ns } Further west, the German detach- ments that held Amiens have moved northeastward to try to rejoin the German army of the right at St. Quen- tin. It is possible all the Germans in northwest France have done likewise, otherwise they would be in danger of being cut off in the center.
 ANOTHER DEFENSIVE
 POSITION GIVEN UP
 Another defensive position, behind 5 Fhcs7ns, has teen given up and io the Argonne region general retreat is taking place toward the forests of Bel noue and Triancourt.
 The allies are pushing their advan- tage and doing their utmost to turn the retreat into disaster by a stern pursuit on perhaps the broadest scale yet known in war On the right they are in good position to continue the offensive, if the men and horses are not too tired for further effort. They are based on strong line running |, from the Marine to the fortresses through the hilly country south of Argonne.
 While the allied left composed largely of fresh troops with a. heavy force of cavalry, under General Pau, is wheeling around so as to drive Generals von Kluch and Von Buelow towards .ardennes anj Luxemburg, General Pau's army, by n few more marches by Lafere and Laon might cut communications between the retreating Germans and Belgium
 The British. who yesterday took nearly all the crossings on tho River Aisne and captured many prisoners. are north or that river and are pushing the attack that would assist in forcing the Ger mans to evaeuate Rheims. The center somewhere between Chalons and Rheims is making an effort to recapture the latter city, which would be one of the most popular victories that could be ;ln- nounced to Frenchmen.
 Should these movements be crowned with success and Laon and Rheims again X fall into the hands of the allies, the ' Germans would have only one linr of communication with Germany. through Rethel, and even that might be cut. EnN KUuTCE nnKc EnD

TON KLUCK LOOKS FOR
 ASSISTANCE FROM BELGIUM

General von Kluck, however, is look ing for endorsements from Belgium, if they have not already reached him, and with these he might make another stand against his pursuers
 The British war office issued a long dispatch today from Field Marshal Sir John French. covering more completely than the previous summaries the seven days fighting from September 4 to Sep tember 10. inclusive. Acct rdng to this report. the German swerve to the south east Of Paris is accounted for by General yon Klucks decision that the British, who had been so heavily engaged in the retreat from the Belgian frontier, could be ignored and that he could pro- ceed with his plan of enveloping the main French army.
 The new army which came out from Paris, however upset this calculation, and. with his flank threatened the Ger man general had to withdraw-a move ment which has been continued up to the present
 General French paid high compliment to. the latest addition to the British army, the presidents s corps, and he also quotes d letter from the French commander, General Joffre, who congratulated him on the accuracy of the information supplied by the aviators. These men have done little or no bomb throwing. but have confined themselves to gathering infor- nation about the enemy fol the general staff.
 AVIATION CORPS IS
 USED FOR SCOUT WORK
 This Is the work that military men always .have said would prove of the greatest service in connection with the use of the aeroplane. In what conflicts they have had with German aviators. the British flying men, according to Field Marshal French. have established individual ascendency." and. he adds, ssomething in the direction of mastery of the air already has been established
 This is particularly gratifying to Brit ons. az England was one of the last pow ers to go seriously into the development of aviation. and the government has been aevsreIy criticized for not stvtng t more

RICH SILVER ORE

The Cromer-Hampton lease, which
shipped car of $1,000 ore April 1st,
is working in three separate ore
shoots and has several tons of ore
broken and sorted. Underhand stop
ing, below the floor of the open cut
where the big vein was first opened,
has carried the workings down to a
depth of ten feet on a continuous
shoot of very rich ore. Some of the
ore from this pit runs as high as
l 900 ounces silver to the ton and the
sorted ore will average about 10000.
This development proves the contin-
uation of the high grade shoots to
depth. Beyond the face of the cut
drift shows stringers of much high
er grade and the lessees, who are
familiar with the conditions under
which the high grade occurs expect
to develop another bonanza deposit
in this drift.
The Cromer-Hampton ore shoot has
now been opened on it's length for
about 100 feet and the vein has been
proven for width of so feet.
Throughout the vein are seams of
high grade and a number of samples
taken across 80 feet and to a height
of feet where the vein was opened
in the cut, show the entire mass to
be OF milling grade. These samples
were taken after tie lessees had re-
moved all the rich ore in sight, so
that 1t is reasonable to assume that
the mass of ore will break of a high
er grade than is indicated in the
samples.
The CromerHappt pton lease has ais
opened up a favorable looking ore
shoot down the hill a few feet below
the cut and further toward the hang
ing wall. This ore shoot has not yet
been explored to an extent that its
size and Importance may be consid
for the occurrence of a deposit of
rich ore.-Nevada Mining News.

WASHINGTON NEWS
By Edward Heating.

Joseph w. Folk has tackled the big
gest job of his career. He achieved
national fame when as prosecuting
attorney he sent some st. Louis graf
ters to the penitentiary, but that
was child's play compared to the task
on which he is now engaged as chief
counsel for the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
He has induced Charles S. Mellen,
former president of the New Haven
railroad system. to turn states evil
dence. and tell the sordid story of
how the Captain Kidds of high fl
nance looted that tremendously val
liable property. At this writing, Mel
lens testimony has not been given
In public, but he should be In the
witness chair when this letter is
printed, and l want every one of my
readers to follow his evidence. The
daily press will undoubtedly carry
full reports, and a little later the
hearings will probably be printed
and you can secure copies from your
congressman.
The New Haven deal" was en-
gineered by ]. Pierpont Morgan. ''tEe
emperor of American Finance, now
dead. He wanted a monopoly Of
the railroad. trolly. and steamship
lines of New England. He carried
his point, but at fearful cost. He
made Mellen president of the New
Haven and supplied him with unlim-
tied cash. How Mellen executed
the orders of his chief will be told
by himself and will be supported by
documentary evidence, which can not
be questioned.
IL will be the most amazing story
Of high finance ever related In the
United States.
| We have heard a good deal about
the money trust and how 1t uses the
peoples money to impoverish the
many and enrich the few. Muckrak-
ers have written about "the system
economists have suggested methods
to curb its operations. and politici-
ans have promised to destroy it. but
1t still continues to flourish. Now
We are to get the inside story"from
the lips of the man VINO knows ev-
cry cog in the machine.
When Attorney General McReynolds
cautioned Folk that by giving Mellen
an opportunity to testify he might
be rendering him immune to crimi.
nal prosecution, the terror of the
grafters replied:
1T is more important that the peo-
pie of this country should know the
truth than that any individual should
go to jail"
Folk was right. Perhaps Mellen
could be sent to the penitentiary for
his offenses. but the people are much
more interested in destroying the
system which produced Mellen than
they are in Furnishing Mellen.

Gilpin observer., 1914-05-21

was placed on the statute books for
the sole purpose of deceiving the
farmers of this country and thus win
ming their support for the high pro-
tective system. Time and again we
pointed out that wool was command
er price in free trade England than
in protected America, and we argued
that the wooden trust controlled the
market in this country and could fix
for their clips.
When we placed wool on the free
list, the wool buyers throughout the
country made a concerted effort to
stampede the wool men. They offer
ed low prices for the various grades
and insisted that a still further drop
was probable.
The Republican orators and news

hard times which always marked

The combination was too much for
most sheep men, and they sold at
bottom prices. OF course, the decep-
ton could not be maintained for
ever and the prices Of wool have
now returned to normal, and in many
instances far above the average.
1t would be interesting to know
just how much the wooden trust
profited from this team work be-
tween the Republican politicians and
the wool buyers.
1t is probable that the total would
be represented by at least seven fl

SAFETY FIRST"
FOR THE SCHOOLS
GIVEN APPROVAL
Supt. Chadsey Told by Board to
Go Ahead With Elaborate
Program
"CAP." STEWARDS WINGS g
ARE STILL UNCLIPPED
Proposal to Lessen Supervisors
Authority Laid Over For
Two Weeks

Supt. Charles E. Chadsey was au-
thorized by the Board Of Education, In
Its regular meeting, Tuesday night. to
begin on Jan. / an elaborate safety
first" campaign among Detroit school
children. In accordance with the plans
made by the Safety First society Of
Greater Detroit, DR.. Chadsey, as a
member OF the society. was largely In
strumeItal in originating several new
ideas in safety first" education.
which were embraced In the outline
of the campaign for Detroit schools.
A complete system of school patrols.
which will give to the older boys of
a school sort OF guardianship over
their younger mates, is one OF the
features Of the plan. Men and women
interested In the movement for the
protection OF human life will be asked
to give lectures to the youngsters.
Where II Is possible, these lectures
will be illustrated with stereopticon
slides or moving pictures, showing
how traffic accidents occur and how
they may be avoided. AS many as
three weekly bulletins, each for chill
dren of q certain age. will be publish
cd by the school board, telling OF the
safety first" work Another idea OF
DIR. Chadsey Is the adoption OF a new
safety first" slogan each week This
slogan will be printed across the
black boards that the pupils look
upon each school day. Essay contests
on safety first" will also be conduct
ed.
That Detroit schools are still great
ly overcrowded was shown In the cen
sus report OF Dr. Chadsey. which was
to the board. He reported
that there are 3.15S extra seats in 81
extra looms IN Easements, halls. etc..
now In use In the schools. This brings
the total enrolment up to 69.173.
Nearly 5000 pupils are accommodated
with only halliday sessions.
II was decided that the new gram
mar school at Thirty-ffth and Rich

school. In honor OF a former school
inspector Of that name. now dead.
