Germans in Rush. Through

Suffer Severely From Fire Of
the French Gatlings.
EFFORT TO WIN LOST GROUND
Costs Them Dearly and Fails In
the End.
FAlsace Continues To Be Scene
of Daily Struggles.

Paris, Oct. 1.-THE steady ham
mering Of the allies on the German
left wing Of the French battle front
has brought them almost within can
non range Of the -orts at Metz. In
spite Of this menace the German
crown princes army hangs on dog
gedly to the positions it has taken on
the Meuse near St. Mihiel. The fight
ing on this end Of the long battle line
is said to have been desperate on the
part Of both sides during the last
week though overshadowed for the
time by the operations on the allies
left.
More important developments are
looked for between the Meuse and the
Moselle VIII the battle of the four
rivers goes on in the west. In the
early days of the war the Germans
seemed to have the advantage OF the
allies in the equipment and handling
of machine guns. In this billy,
wooded country the French have
shown that they can also use them
through the ArgOnEe forest, as we'll as
in the hills Of Movre, met with a tell
ing fire Of Gatlings from tree tops
where guns were SO cleverly concealed
that 1t was impossible to detect them
and every effort to regain lost ground
cost dearly and failed.
The French Alpine contingent dis
tinguished itself in this rough coun-
try. The French are now in possess
sion OF the route from Nancy to
Metz as far as Dagny on the Lorraine
border and menace the route from
Verdun to Metz in the neighbOrhood
OF Etain, endangering communication
Of the crown princes army with the
German fortified camp.
Besides the ChaSSeurS the 149th
French infantry has covered itself
with glory. After taking a village at
the point of the bayonet the infantry
men were obliged to abandon the
place owing to a murderous artillery
fire.
They went back to the attack on
the following day, retook the village
bombardment. An entire German
brigade was sent to dislodge them but
the 14Sth held the position, ,infiicting
singing defeat on their assailants
and taking $50 prisoners. At another
solid1y entrenched village the same
regiment swept determinedly forward,
digging in step by step until they got
right up to the trenches Of the enemy,
which they carried CALAMITY at the
point OF the bayonet, thus gaining q
point needed for the support of the
entire army. For this exploit the reg
iment has been named in orders.
Alsace continues also the scene Of
daily struggles. possessing points of
vantage, the result of which it is diff
ficult to ascertain as fortunes vary so
rapidly. Towns are taken and re-
in the southern end Of the battle line
indicates that the Germans have prof
tied by the weakened French forces
to regain ground they had lost.

ALASKA SET FREE.
Coal Land Leasing Bill Ready for
Presidents Signature.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-Given up as
dead legislation less than a week ago,
the Alaska coal land leasing bill, re-
vised at the instance Of President Will
son and Secretary Lane as part Of the
administrations program Of this ses-
sion, waits only its final ordeal in the
house virtually without opposition.
The bill is designed to throw open to
a system Of leases under competitive
Alaska, tied up the last eight years.
and pending claims will be adjudicated
within a year.
The Bering river. Matanuska and
Nenana coal fields will be the first
surveyed, the government retaining
in the Matanuslxa fields and half of
other coal areas. To prevent monopoly
or in other emergencies the govern
ment reserved the right to mine coal
for the benefit of the army and navy
or for the operation Of the government
railroads in Alaska.
Leases will be made in blocks of forty
acres or multlples of that amount not
exceeding 1850 acres altogether in any
one lease. and to run not more than
fifty years. Present coal land claim
ants may relinQuish rights to patent
under the old law. payments being re-
funded.
Royalties paid by leases must be at
least two cents a ton with a maximum
unrestricted. Proceeds from leases will
be disable only to reimburse the govern
ment for building the Alaskan railway.
This Is the end of an eight year
struggle said Secretary Lane. Eight
years ago.. the coal lands in Alaska
were locked up. During that time
Alaska has been declining. Now hef
coal is to be opened to the world under
conditions that will prevent monopoly.
and. trust, insure development.
The enactment of the bill is an
achievement of which congress may be
proud, for 1t was brought about with
out bitterness and without partisanship
1t is a real victory for q sensible and
anti-monopoly policy.
| "Three-fourthG OF a true conservation
program-a railroad for Alaska. q
new reclamation law, and the Alaska
coal leasing bill-have been crystallized
into law. The other two measures
