eoMeARD vERDUN.

BERLIN, Sept. 25.-OhIcial an.
ouncement was made today that siege
guns have been taken for the bonn
bardment of Verdun and the strong
French forts in the vicinity of that
stronghold.
THE French are striving to prevent
the arrival of these guns" says the
official statement, but they are stead
lily approaching nearer. The reduction
of Verdun can not be averted when
they reach a position where they can
be operated with full effect.
Our smaller guns continue their
bombardment of the Vedun-Toul line
with good effect.
THE field engagements in France
during the twenty-four hours ended at
might, have been minor affairs with
out any important developments. We
hold our positions. there being no ap-
preciable change in the lines.
"The situation in Belgium and the
eastern war theatre is unchanged"

Final Good From War
REFLECTIONS AT NAUHEIM

But if from all this ruin some new form
Of World existence may be reared Alright,
Some federation strong to breast the storm
Of hatred, intrigue, envy and despite; -
As in great republic of the West;
One parliament the common will to speak;
One central power to shelter states appeased
One court to render justice to the weak; I
One army only to maintain the peace,
Then might the world. begin better life
The dreadful noise of battle then might cease
And nations see the end of war and strife.
If that shall follow from these hosts of slain
Then all their blood will not have flowed in vain.

Evictions to Come.

1t is freely predicted that as soon as
the committee goes away then the com.
panies will begin the wholesale evie-
tion OF families from company grounds
and from the homes many have erected
and furnished and lived in for years.
When this begins then will come the
real trouble and test OF endurance of
the men out.
At the hearings the room is crowded
by strikers and their families, and they
all act as if they looked upon the com.
mittee as their protector and the only
agency that can afford them haven
of refuge. They are orderly and well
behaved, and look into their faces
arouses all latent pity for them. but
impresses one with the thought OF the
steadfastness of purpose to win.

OPTIMISM P PREVAILS AMONG
MAKERS OF MINE SCHEDULE
SUBCOMMITTEE NOW HAS WAGES
UNDER CONSIDERATION.
Good Feeling Exhibited by Operators at
Philadelphia Causes Thoughts of
Coal Strike to Vanish.

Demands of the United Mine Work
ers for wage increase and other con-
cessions considered in conference with
operators at Philadelphia has been
placed in the hands of subcommittee
consisting of eight miners and eight
operators. The general conference COM
mittee consists of 80 miners and 32 op-
orators, representing the bituminous
coal mines of western Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
Before submitting the wage question
to the subcommittee the conference
unanimously adopted resolution pro-
viding that should new interstate
agreement not be effected prior to April
l the men should continue to work
pending negotiations of state and dis
trict contracts. The subcommittee will
report in two or three weeks.
Il believe we are closer together right
now than we ever We're at the same
period at any other joint conference.
said William Green, secretary of the
United Mine Workers. "And | do not
believe there is much fear OF strike in
any direction. At least l do not hear
of anyone piling up stocks of reserve
coal, and if there was fear of strike
they would be protecting themselves
This is the first time in my recollection
that the operators did not demand q
reduction in the mining rate. Always
heretofore the miners have asked a large
increase in wages and the operators
have asked for a correspondingly large
reduction. This time the miners arc
asking only Scent increase and the
operators ask that the present price be
continued. So we are not far apart
on that proposition"

COPPER COUNTRY IMPRESSIONS.
What the Situation Discoses to the Casual Visitor

general way one is reminded OF our
Colorado gold and silver camps. though
the population is older tsome 60 to 10
years settlement) and less shifting.
This latter fact accounts to some eX-
tent for the allying of the business in
terest so largely with the copper crowd,
and everybody deals in copper and owns

Glad to Get Away.

I was glad when the end of my ef-
forts allowed me to get away. There
was so much that appealed to the tender
side Of my nature. What heart / have

though / would like to have for but n
few minutes the power to make one
wish and have it granted. Wealth,
power, place, joy and all the things
dear to the average human would be
given to have the man at the head
awaken to the fact that all mankind is
human and deserving of the best in
life possible, and that he would meet
and treat with these patient people who
have been of his community 30 long
to the end that honorable peace and
prosperity, contentment and happiness
prevail throughout the Michigan penin-
sula. May the good God touch his heart
with the finger Of fairness.

ever had been alleged was lie and
that the kings could do no wrong. This
has been brought about by the organ
izing of the business men by the copper
bosses into citizens alliance with &
membership of many thousands. The
usual bunk about the strikers injuring
and destroying their business was used,
and most of them believe it. They are
the lemons that will be squeezed dry
by the big fellows and thrown aside as
soon as their purpose is accomplished,
a la Cripple Creek and other sections.
But they must pay for their lesson.
Some Don't Like 1t.
Many of the business men secretly
sympathize with the men out, but
owing to the peculiar situation dare not
say so. The copper companies own
practically every foot of ground in the
district and it is but leased to those
who build upon it. Upon the cancella
ton of lease the improvements revert
to the land owners, and one don't need
to have palmist read his hand to find
out what would happen to him if he ran
counter to the wishes OF the owners.
These copper companies have erected
school houses, libraries, armories, pub
lie halls, etc, on their lands and leased
or donated the same to the public use.
1t is beautiful system-for the big
boys who own the mines,
Kindell Butts In.
By the way, our own congressman
from Denver, George J. Kindel, is quite
a big man in this section. He made
speech in Congress when the resolution
providing for the investigation was up,
opposing it of course. and proceeded to
hand the Western Federation and the
United Mine Workers a number of hard
ones. This speech was circulated freely
in the copper country, but 1 don't be-
lieve was very largely put into hands
of his own constituents.
What Is Up There.
The three principal towns are Hough-
ton, the county seat of Houghton coun-
ty, where the trouble zone is located
Hancock, Calumet, Lake Linden, Lauri-
en-, Ahmeek and several lesser places
There are probably 10000 people living
in the section, nearly all connected with
the copper industry and businesses of
various kinds. There is some farming
in a small way on cleared timber land
all OF which is owned by the companies
and rented for the paying OF taxes.
There is very little timber left.
Houghton has about 6,O00 inhabitants,
Hancock probably 10000, Calumet up
wards of 10000, with the remaining
population scattered in the other towns
All are connected by trolleys and the
towns practically run into each other
They all have all the modern improve
ments and are up to date, with neat
residences and business blocks. In a

'RANCE-The French claim decided
advantages in the great battle north |
east of Paris. They claim to have
forced the German right wing into
the Marine valley for about ten miles
and to have advanced slightly in
the region Of Nitry-le Francois, near
the French center. They report also
advantages along the right wing to
the east of Nancy. According to re-
ports from Paris the plan of fight
ing in this battle has been thorough
" in accordance with the French
general scheme of war against the
Germans.
Although there appears to be no
