Some of the early risers declared
they saw ice this morning, but if they
did the freeze did no damage, as
leaves and flowers looked ais fresh as
before. What little frost has oc-
CURED this fall has been so light as
to do little damage. Up in the noun
tains the frost has been heavier and
the mountain resort proprietors de-
clare the country has never looked
prettier, due to the changing color of

fell in Las Vegas considerably earlier

Denver, Colo, Sept. 30.-J. f. Wei
bern, president of the Colorado Fuel
ana Iron company, upon his return
from a conference with President VIII
son regarding the proposed truce in
the Colorado coal miners strike, is
sued a statement today in which he
reiterated that the proposal contained
conditions which the company could
NOT accept.
Mr. Welborn's statement follows
"The president received me very
ccurteously and manifested an inter-
est in what | had to say about the
strike, as well as general conditions
connected with the coal industry in
Colorado He said that much | told
him was new and he offered no crit
icism on our conduct of the strike, yet
stated that at this time he preferred
to consider the proposal presented by
him rather than anything that the
coal operators might have to offer.
There are many insuperable con-
ditions in the truce proposed which
appeal to fair-minded men when made
clear. The requirement that the oper-
ators re-employ all striking miners
who have been found guilty of viola
ton of the law, when to do so would
make necessary the discharge of some
faithful employees, would involve plac.
ing at work alongside of those who
have been loyal and peaceably in
clined, others who have repeatedly
threatened and abused them. At prac-
tically every camp our employees are
protesting in large numbers against
the unemployment of strikers, except
stch as are known not to have parti
cipated in abuse or violence.
"The frequency and character of
these protests convince us that the
active carrying out of the proposal in
good faith would cause more men to
leave our service than could be EN-
ployed from among those on strike
and the result therefore would be a
reduction rather than an increase in
coal output"

trenches is unbearable and that the
bodies in these graves are often cut
up by the heavy wheels of passing

by Rev. Warren V H. Filkins, rector

ton, who, with his wife. has just re-
turned from the continent.
I'VE heard plenty of war talk IN
Cambridge, England. where We were
stopping, but we never realized the
seriousness of it," said the clergy
man, until we saw machine guns
placed on the housetops to stay any
assault of the aeroplanes."
Mr. Filkins said gold is very scarce
in Europe and the rate of exchange
of currency is high. He said more
than thousand American school
teachers who had crossed the Allan
tic as first-class passengers were glad
to return third-class
The clergyman told of how Ameri-
cans had hired a suite of rooms at
one of the large English hotels and
made it a practice to meet there
daily. News of boat bookings was re-
ceived there, and every time boat
was due to sail for America there
would be wild scrambling to secure
berths. English merchants, Mr.. Fill
kins said, were turning over certain
percentage of their profit to the Red
Cross fund. During his stay In Cam
