War Summary

Almost coincident with the report
that the Russians are sending trans
ports with troops through the Black
sea for the purpose of making a land
inc on the Bulgarian coast, comes the
unofficial statement that a naval en-
eagement between Turkish and RuS-
sian warships has taken place in these
waters.
A message received in Berlin from
Bucharest reports that the Turkish
warships MiduIiu, Saltan Selim (form-
erly the German cruisers Bresfau and
Goeben) and Hamidjeh attacked a
Russian squadron of three battleships
and several cruisers and destrOyerS in
the Black sea.
No further details are given.
1t is possible that the Russian
squadron was acting as convoy for
the transports and that the Turks in
tercepted the Russian vessels.
The concentration of entente troops
with the object of relieving the pres
sure being exerted on the Serbians by
the Teutonic and Bulgarian forces
from three sides is proceeding, ac-
cording to a news dispatch from
SalOniki. Additional transports are
expected to reach Saloniki soon.
The Bulgarians are said to be pre-
pairing special trains to transport Ger
man troops over the Bulgarian rail
way to COnstantinople through
Thrace. Already war munitions have
been despatched to the Turkish capi-
tai.
The execution by the German mill
tary authorities in Belgium of nine
persons convicted of espionage is re-
ported officially from Berlin, accord
ing to an Amsterdam dispatch to Lon
don. Ten other persons, including
three women, were sentenced to penal
servitude.

GUARDSMEN BACK
DEFENSE PROGRAM
Support of Plans Virtually Is
Assured, Says Secretary
Garrison
By the Associated Pressl.

Washington, oct. 30-Support of
the national guardsmen of the country
for the Administrations defense plans,
including the formation of . continen-
tai army, was virtually assured today
at the conclusion Of two day con-
ference between Secretary Garrison
and members of the executive COM
mittee of the national guard associa-
ton and the national militia board.
Some opposition to the continental
army scheme developed yesterday
when the conference began, but Sec
retary Garrison was successful in con-
vincing the guardsmen of the wisdom
Of the plan and also that no steps
would be spared to promote the in
terests of the national guard because
Of the new plan.
General Foster of the Florida Ma
tional Guard. chairman of the execu-
tive committee issued a statement
saying that, while the national guard
officers felt they could not, in their
representative capacity, give express
sion with regard to all of the pro-
posals embraced in the plan until it
had been fully considered by the orga-
nization which they represent, indi-
yidual expressions indicate that the
sentiment of the national guard would
be favorable to the Secretary of Wars

FREAK NAMES FOR PEOPLE.

I niverSity MiSSourian.
North East Jones was graduated
from the School of Law in 1892 and
had the distinction Of being loudly
cheered by all departments when his
name W@s read. To avoid an invidi-
Gus distinction in favor of North East
his parents named his brother South
East. North East Jones is now prac-
ucing law in Kansas City.
Equal ingenuity should be credited
the parents of Miss Xemenia Y. Zyx
Harper. The initials of her given
name. X. Y. H., spell her third name
backward. Was Xemenia in her
childhood days called X Y. H., or
perhaps Zyx? There is a possibility
that her playmates in desperation
dubbed her A. r. c. She received a
3. S. in 1910. She is now Mrs. L. B.
Burk, and lives at Bueler, Mo. Some
advantages of matrimony are obvious.
for while North East Jones will re-
main North East always, Xemenia
Z. Xyz became Mrs. l.. B. Burk and is
ineonspicuous in name at least.

TO obtaining news by espionage and
sending it 10 France by way of 1Ol-
land they became bolder in Septem-
Der, planning to dynamite railways
and buildings, besides assisting per-
sons of military age TO escape from
Belgium to France. Among those ar
rested are four women, the principal
charge against them being that they
were endangering the safety of the
German army.
The espionage system reported to
have been discovered in France is al
legged to have been managed by the
wife of a French officer 1t is charged
that she received her instructions di-
rect from the French military au-
thorities. Two other women are also
under arrest, and, according to Ber-
lin, the extent to which the system of
espionage is organized is indicated by
the fact that the arrested persons fig
ure prominently in the French secret
service list"
The guilt of the accused. it is stated,
already has been established.
Nine persons the message adds,
were tried for espionage in Belgium
on October %. All were found guilty
and were sentenced to death. The
sentence was executed yesterday. Ten
others including three women. were
sentenced TO penal SerVltudc.
Washington, Oct. 0.-AmbassadoI
Gerard at Berlin has transmitted tC
the State Department report from
the German foreign office which states
that no Belgians have been condemn

instance of the Belgian Minister here
and he was instructed to use his gooG

COLORADO MINES BUSY

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Leadville, Colo.-The output OF Colo
rado mines during the first six months
Of 1915. according to Charles W. Hen
dersOn, of the United States GeOlogi-
cal Survey. will show no increase in
actual metal contents. except for gold.
The increase in average prices for
lead, copper. and zinc, based ON the
normal production, will, however, add
greatly to the total value of the out
put. and the undoubted activity in
mining promises at least the normal
production Of metals for the year 1915.
which at the exceedingly high aver
promises q greatly enhanced total pro-
iuction.
Colorado. in the last five years
l910-1915-has averaged $19,225, 500 in
output of gold dropping from $780,
507O5S in 1908 to S1S.146.9l6 in 1911.
but increasing in 1914 to $19,SS3, 1861; ;
silver has averaged s.4OO. 900 ounces;
copper, 100000 pounds; lead, 76.6O0,-
900 pounds. and zinc. 100000. 900
pounds. reaching its height in 1912.
with 132.222,S12 pounds. but dropping
to 96,774.96O pounds in 1914. The TO-
tai value for the five metals has aver
aged $34,4sO.0OO, when silver ranged
from $O.53 to $O.6l5. copper from
$0.125 to $0O.165. lead from $O.O39 to
$0.045, and zinc (spelter) from $0.05l
to $O.O69.
Cripple Creek annually produces 60
per cent. Of the State yield of gold.
and in the first six months Of 1915 has
proportionately exceeded the produc-
tion of Sl1.S96.116 for the twelve
months Of 1914. The San Juan region
has produced normally on q basis of
100000 per year. and Leadville
probably has exceeded its normal gold
production because of shipments of
siliceous gold ores from Breeze Hill
mines. while the Clear Creek-Gilpin
region has produced slightly in ex-
cess of the normal production. The
Summit County dredges have main
tanned production of about 100000
for the half year
Little change has been made in the
yield of silver. Copper is mainly a
by-product in Colorado, but heavily in.
creased shipments of copper ore from
Rico for the six months show an in
crease of about 100000 pounds of cop.
per during that time.
Lead production will increase some.
what, due to an increase in yield Of
zinc concentrates from the concen.
tration of lead-zinc ores at Red Cliff
and Breckenridge.
Zinc ores rom Colorado. during the
first six months of 1915 have shown a
small increase in tonnage. but a de.
crease Of 2 or per cent in grade.
