London, Oct. 26.-It appears from

along the coast toward Dunkirk, owing
to the fire from the British and French
warships, took a route a little more in
land and have succeeded in crossing

have been defending s~tubbornly for a

No Decisive Battle Yet.

London, Oct. 26.-The Germans
have undertaken a general offensive
movement along the line extending
from the mouth of the River User on
the North Sea to the River Mouse, and
while they have compelled the allies
to give ground in some places, they
themselves have lost positions in 9TH
ers. This. In a few words. is what is
gathered from official reports from the
French and the German headquarters.
Although it is now just two months
since the allies concentrated on the
France-Belgian frontier to oppose the
German advance and the invaders
have been almost to Paris and back in
the interval. no decisive battle has
been fought. Neither side has destroy
ed or even partly destroyed an army.
Even the Belgian army escaped almost
intact after the country was overrun

STRIKE MOST EXPENSIVE IN
THE HISTORY OF STATE

The state departments seem to be
carefully avoiding the giving out of
figures covering the cost of the pres
ent labor strike in Colorado.
AS the militia has now been in the
field three months or more, and as
the first and lowest estimate on this
item alone was $4,000 a day, it. would
appear that the cost to the state of
this one source has exceeded perhaps
half million dollars. Other sources
of expenses have been many, and the
end is not yet in sight. 1t is not i'm
probable that the expense to the state
has already reached as high as three
quarters of a million dollars. 1t is
equally possible that the sum may
reach or go above million dollars be-
fore the strike is finally settled Ex-
pense to the state means debt which
the taxpayers of the state will have
to pay, and a million, or even a half
million dollars in added expense, is
very large sum.
Only few years ago, when little
more than a quarter of a million
dollars of debt accrued to the
state in the same manner, a terrible
howl went up and an attempt to re-
pudiate its payment was made by
Democratic leaders. But it was all
taken care of and nearly double the
amount left in the treasury in cash.

Radium promises to become the
main factor in creating worldwide
interest in general metal mining. For
a number of years something has been
needed to arouse new interest. The
opening up of big new camp like
Cripple Creek in Colorado, would have
served the purpose, but the new camp
of unusual merit failed to materialize.
Now if Colorado will remove some
of her graft hardships from her prin-
cipal industry, mining, she will have
a chance to reap the benefits.

Rear Admiral Blue Explains Law
Governing Paymasters' Clerks,

According to Rear Admiral Victor
Blue, chief of the bureau of navigation,
the situation of paymasters' clerks in
the navy "is unfortunate He ex-
plains that the present law requires the
appointment of a clerk to expire upon
the detachment of his pay officer, which
requirement, he says, is often an injus-
tice to the clerk, who finds himself
without employment through no fault
of his own. and usually entails con-
siderable expense to the government
in paying mileage to his home and
also mileage of a new clerk for the
same pay officer to duty. and. in adj
dition, makes work that should be un
necessary in the Navy Department.
A bill proposing to put the clerks in
the same status as warrant officers is
now pending before Congress and has
the approval of the department. That
bill would limit all future appointments
of paymasters' clerks to the enlisted
personnel of the navy. and. according
to Admiral Blue. would afford a field
