Michigan Miners and Operators No
Nearer Settlement.

Houghton, Mich.-With the end of
the first six months of the copper
miners strike, operators and union
miners appear to be no nearer an
agreement than they were when the
struggle began on July % last.
The continued mild weather has
confirmed labor leaders in the belief
that they will be able to hold the
striking forces intact throughout the
winter. They assert that the West
ern Federation of Miners is prepared
to support the local organization
through a long contest, if necessary.
The mine owners maintain that the
backbone Of the strike has been
broken and that if the strikers do not
return to work without further delay.
all their places will be flied.

RESUME OF IMPORTANT
NEWS EVENTS OF WEEK

The entrance OF Turkey into the Eu-
ropean conflict IS the outstanding fea-
ture OF the weeks developments. The
success OF the Russians against the
combined German and Austrian armies
In Poland and Prussia Is entitled to
second consideration, while the nayaE
victory Of the German fleet Off the
coast Of Chile. and b daring German,
naval raid IN the coast OF England, go
to make up the story OF q weeks
thrills.
Turkey Is now at war with England,
Russian n France. She has gone In
to II with a rush, attacking Russia
on the north, moving to invade Egypt
and playing havoc with Russian,
French m British commerce. Turkish
warships bombarded several Russian
towns and are reported to have sunk
a Russian battleship. An Anglo-French
fleet bombarded the forts OF the Oar
danelles. but did not reduce them. A
British warship Is said to have been
struck by a shell from the Turkish
forts.
The most serious menace of the
Turkish alliance with Germany lies In
Turkeys influence over the Mohamme-
dams. The Sheik-U l-Islam, chief ec-
clesiastical official OF the Moslem
church. is reported to have called all
Mohammedans to arms-in other words
a holy war against the Christians
has been proclaimed. There are mil

ADMIRAL CRADDOCk
IS BELIEVED LOST
Commander Of Defeated Brit
ish Fleet Supposed to Have
Perished With Fleet.

London. Special: It was the British
cruiser Good Hope, Rear Admiral Sir
Christopher C~raddock's flagship, which
foundered after being set on fire by
shells from German warships in the
naval battle that took place off the
Chilean coast last Sunday. The Brit
ish cruiser Monmouth, which the Ger
mans said they had sunk, was badly
damaged, and II Is possible that she In
u.s warship which was reported yes
terday to be ashore on the coast Of
Chile. So far as is known, none Of the
Good Hopes crew survived.
This vas the news given to the Brit
ish public by the admiralty just as the
people were beginning to think that
the German accounts of the result OF
the battle In the Pacific had been ex-
aggerated. The only bit of satisfac-
ton for the British is that their little
Pacific fleet had itself chosen to give
battle to q much stronger squadron
and had not been overwhelmed until
the last possible shot had been fred at
the nemy. ..
Rear Admiral Craddock lived up to
his reputation OF being one OF the fol-
lowers OF that naval school which be-
lieves that the enemy should be en-
gagged, no matter what his superiority.
According to the admiralty, II was he
who brought about the action, for the
German squadron at first was disin-
clined TO give battle. 1t vas only when
dusk came on and the light was in
their favor that the Germans engaged
the British, who were three to their
four, while superiority in number Of
long range guns was also In favor OF
the Germans. #

Women Who Arc Sea Captains.

America is the only country where
the full title OF captain" has been be-
slowed upon women, says a writer in
the Strand. This was srikingly Illus
trated a few years ago by a decision OF
the London board OF trade, which re-
fused to grant a yachtmaster's certifi-
cate to Lady Ernestine Brudenell
Bruce, a well known yachtswoman of
England, who had thoroughly prepared
herself for the examination in seaman
ship n navigation. She appeared be-
fore the board of trade and asked to
take the examination, pointing out that
she merely desired authority to COM
mand her own yacht, and had no in
.tention of serving on board other ships.
The board OF trade, nevertheless, re-
fused to grant her request, on the
ground that IL could not permit a wo-
man to be examined for a masters
certificate, as the word master" clearly
implied that only men were eligible, not
taking into consideration the broader
meaning Of the word.
