Colorado Miners Cases.

BOULDER, Colo, Aug. 23.-When
the cases of five coal strike leaders
charged with murder in the Hecla
battle more than a year ago were
called for trial today further post
ponement was expected. There were
rumors that on account of popular
disapproval of expense for old strike
cases the indictments might even
tually be quashed.
Although the famous Colorado labor
war was settled by nearly a year ago.
the prosecution of union members
who took part In the numerous riots
continues. A strong popular move
ment is under way in the state to
clean the slate of these thousand or
more strike cases. The unions charge
that the prosecution Is one-sided and
demand the indictment of operators
and mine guards responsible for the
loss of life on the strikers side, es-
pecially at Ludlow.
The men on trial here today were:
w. T. Hickey, secretary of the State
Federation Of Labor; John O'Connor.
president OF the Louisville local; f. j.
Potestio, secretary of the Louisville
local; Jack Cassidy, president OF the
Lafayette local, and Edward T. Doyle.
secretary-treasurer OF the strikers
union for the district. Forty-seven
other union men were indicted in
connection with riots in Boulder
county. OF four tried, two, including
John L. Lawson, were convicted OF
assault to murder and two acquitted.

MISCHIEF MAKER. Now Strong and Robust.

An adults food that can save a baby proves itself to be nourishing and easily digested and good for big and little folks. A Brooklyn man says:
 When our baby was about eleven months old he began to grow thin and pale. This was attributed to the heat and the fact that his teeth were com ing, but, in reality, the poor little thing was starving, his mothers milk not being sufficient nourishment
 "One day after he had cried bitterly for an hour, I suggested that my wife try him on Grape-Nuts. She soaked two teaspoonfuls in half a cup of warm water for 5 or minutes. Then poured off the liquid and to it added a like amount of rich milk and a little sugar. This baby ate ravenously.
 Tt was not many days before he forgot all about being nursed, and has since lived almost exclusively on Grape-Nuts. Today the boy is strong and robust, and as cute mischief maker as a thirteen months old baby is expected to be.
 "Use this letter any way you wish, for my wife and I can never praise Gre Nuts enough after the bright neS A "2s brought to our household.
 Gr,@A Nuts is not made for a baby food. NLt experience with thousands of babies SHOWS it to be among the best, If not entirely the best in use. Being a scientific preparation of Natures grains, it is equally effective as a body and brain builder for grOwn-ups. "There's a Reason"

 Opinions Conflict
 Some officials were inclined to the view that this treaty stipulation might be construed to permit the officials of German steamship lines to depart with their vessels or at least would operate to prevent the United States from seizing them within nine months. Others contend that this treaty provision would not apply
 In any event Washington officials expect to see the millions of dollars worth of German steamships tied up in this country figure prominently in the course of events if the trouble with Germany assumed serious pro- portions.

Eugene Gilbert, French Aviator Who
 Escaped From Switzerland.

Paris, Aug. "A, 2:40 a. m.-Eugene Gilbert, the French aviator, brought down five German aeroplanes before he was compelled by an accident to his motor to land on Swiss territory last June. Since his escape from Switzerland and his arrival in Paris on Sunday night he has been treated as a popular hero.
 When first informed in Switzerland, Gilbert gave his word not to attempt to escape. The enforced idleness preyed on his mind, however, and he took back his promise and seized the first opportunity to get away. With the assistance of a friend who pro- vided a disguise, he made his way to Lucerne and Geneva, and thence to Annemasse in France.

BRITISH WARSHIPS
 BEFORE ZEEBRUGGE
King Georges Fleet Attacks Coast Shells Burst Over Factory Out
 side City.

London, Aug. 24.-A fleet of Brit ish warships approached Knocke, on the Belgian coast yesterday and threw a great number of shells on various points near by. A despatch from Flushing, Holland, says that shells burst over a factory between Zee brugge and Lisseweghe. Heavy clouds of smoke were seen to appear over Zeebrugge, but no fires were visible.
 The German official statement yes terday, telegraphed from Berlin, says that a hostile fleet of about forty ships appeared before Zeebrugge, but quickly steamed away toward the northwest after being fired at by the coast batteries.
 The despatches from Holland re- specting the bonn bardment near Zee brugge says that the German coast guns sought to drive the attacking fleet off, but were unable to score any hits
