President Henry Truelson and Man

Ignite mining industries of the west

ence in Bismarck with the state rail-
road commissioners regarding the
schedule Of coal rates to become eff

The new rate schedule gives one

in a conciliatory way and seemed
anxious to adjust matters satisfac-
torily and correct any injustice, if
such has been done, without having
the matter taken into the courts by
the mine owners of the western part

miles off Queenstown Saturday even
ing, were ~unaccounted for, according
20 the revised official figures issued by

able death list, including Miss Car
berry OF st. Johns, N. F., whose body
is here, up to twenty-six.
The captain of the stricken liner re-
NAMED by his ship until it sank. He
declined to comment on the disaster
for publication, since the official state
ment as to whether he believes his
ship was the victim of q torpedo or a
mine must come from the admiralty,
although the captain is quoted as hav-
ing told an Allan line official that the
Hesperian was t%orpedoed.

tion the good faith Of recent @unquali-
lied assurances from the German gov
eminent that her submarine COM
manders had been ordered to attack

Reports from Ambassador Page at
London added few details to the story
told in the brief cablegram in which
Consul Frost at Queenstown announc-
ed that the vessel had been t%orpedoed
with a loss of about eight lives, none
Of them American.
The consul's statement that the
sup Sdll lcu vi us stern d f.i-lnCn

Ian line officials have declared that
it had no gun when it left Montreal.
No Chance for Examination.
News that the crippled Hesperian
had ~foundered while being conveyed
toward Queenstown dissipated the
hope tina an examination of it's hr1I
might prove beyond a doubt the ma
ture of the wrecking explosion.
The fact that the vessel was struck
forward when we'll outside the zone
in which the German submarines US
ually operate has caused some vet
eran naval officers here to advance
the theory that it struck a drifting
mine.
1t is pointed out that Consul Frost
reported that. while the British adj
miralty believed the ship was torpe-
doed without warning, there had been
no official announcement to that eff
feet and that none of the accounts OF
the disaster speak of a submarine be-

Russian Baltic Seaport in Dan
ger Of Capture.
GERMAN ARMIES ADVANCING
Indications Point to Concerted Attack
by Land and Sea to Complete
isolation of Stronghold.

London, Sept. THE menace to
Riga, an important Russian seaport
in the Baltic, is becoming more Sc
rious. The Germans still hold the
b~ridgehead at Friedrichstadt, the oc-
%cupation of which effectively cuts off
Riga's railway communication to the
south, while German aircraft are ac-
tive in the gulf, perhaps ~presaging
another naval clash as part of a con
certed German movement from land
and sea to complete the isolation of
the city and force its abandonment
by the Russians.
According to an unofficial Berlin
dispatch, received by way of Copen-
hagen, the Germans claim possession
Of the gulf, the Russians having
abandoned Dago, the no~rthernmost
of the three islands just outside the
gulf.
The Berlin official communication
lays no claim to further progress by
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg from
the Baltic to Grodno, but thence
southwark the armies of Prince Leo
pold and Field Marshal Won Macken
sen are said to be moving forward,
while the Austrian official statement
covering the battle line farther south
and east records nothing but Teutonic
gains.
Saturday and Sunday along the
Western front brought a continuation
OF the vigorous bambordment by
French artillery at Arras, in the
Champagne, the Argonne, along the
Lorraine frontier and in the Vosges.
This heavy artillery firing has CON
tinued for almost a fortnight. The
motive is no more obvious now than
at the beginning.
No news has been received of a re-
sumption of the battle at the Oar
danelles except the French report that
the Australians %repulsed a Turkish at
tack.
