AT THE sURTIS.

In THE Whip the Drury Lane
melodrama. which will be seen at the
Burtis, Friday and Saturday, Feb. 10
and 20. theatre-goers of the tri-cities
will have an opportunity to see the
greatest dramatic sensation of the past
decade. running for two seasons in
London and one in New York at the
Manhattan opera house.
This great sensation scored so heav-
lily for many reasons. First the splen-
did array of interesting situations in
the great melodrama, then again for
the magnificent spectacular effects in
staging Imagine big pack of hounds
coming down the stage entering their
kennels, then think of stable OF fine
race horses that are ridden in full view
of the audience in another scene. The
act in Nine. Tussaud's Waxworks is
another thing worth witnessing. but
the climax in stagecraft is reached in
the great railroad wreck. which is
masterpiece of realism. The story of
1.-The Whip" is as absorbing as any
detective or love story ever written
and is usually depicted by an immense
company of talented players.

$4,000 MINERS ARE
IN WELSH WALK0uT

London, Aug. 2S.-Nearly $4,000
miners have struck in the South
Wales coal fields, according to a dis
patch from Newport, Wales, to the
Exchange Telegraph company.
The recurrence of labor troubles is
due to growing dissatisfaction with
the award of Walter Runciman, presi-
dent of the board of trade, who acted
as arbitrator in the recent strike. The
situation was strained further when
the GOLFERS learned that Mr.. Runci-
man had declined to see deputati0n
representing them.
The miners charge Mr.. Runciman
with going behind the arrangement
made by David Lloyd-George and de-
mand that Mr. Lloyd-George make
good his promises to them.
Mr.. Runcimans award contained
wage concessions but rejected num-
Der of demands relating to working
conditions. hours of labor and arbi-
tration arrangements.

REPORT DENOuNCES
THE ROCKeFELLERS

Chicago, Aug 2S.-Responsibility
for the strike of coal miners in Colo
RADIO in 1913 and 1914, and for the dis
order and suffering that followed, is
placed squarely Oh the shoulders OF
operators in a report by George p.
West, made public by the commission
on industrial relations.
The Colorado Fuel and Iron COM
pany, controlled by John D. Rookie
Teller is declared to have been the
leader in formulating and carrying
out strike policies. Mr.. Rockefeller
and his son, John D. Rockefeller, Jr.,
are charged, first, with the selection
of incompetent and reactionary agents
to serve as executive officials in this
company, and, second, with giving
their heartiest endorsement and sup
port to those officials after they had
taken action that precipitated the
worst of the troubles.

ADVANCE INTO OLD RUSSIA
German invaders Continue to Make
Rapid Progress.

London, Aug. 2S.-The Austro-Ger-
man invaders have not only pressed
their opponent into old Russia, be-
yond the political borders of ancient
Poland, but have penetrated well be-
yond the district of Russia proper in
habited by the Poles.
This enormous advance has reach
ed state in which the troops of En-
peror Nicholas are fighting for exist
ence on the soil of White Russia,
which for the first time during this
war is feeling the effects of invasion.
The main object of the German at
tack around Brest-Litovsk for days
has been the railroad running east
ward from the fortress toward Mos
COW. This line, with branch run
ming in southeasterly direction, pro-
vided the means for Russian evacua-
ton of the fortress. The Austro-Ger-
man advance against this railroad has
been so slow that it is believed here
the evacuation was accomplished
successfully before the fortress sur
rendered.
Servia's reply to the note of the
quadruple entente, which has not
been made public, although reported
to have been delivered. evidently is
awaited by the other Balkan states
before they take further action.
Doubts are being cast on the accuracy
of the report that Turco-Bulgarian
agreement had been signed.

Berlin, Aug. 2S.-The Russian for
tress of Olita, on the Niemen river
thirty miles south of Kovno, has been
evacuated. Official announcement to
this effect was made here.
In all the wide sweep of Russian
territory south of the Baltic provinces
which has been covered during the
great Austro-German offensive move
ment the fortress of Grodno is the
only strongly defended position re-
naming in the hands of the Russians.
Olita was on the principal Russian
line of defense, midway between Kov-
no, already in the hands of the Ger
mans, and Grodno. 1t is about fifty
miles southwest Of the important rail-
road center of Wilma, which is on the
direct trunk line to Petrograd.
Olita is the ninth important for
tress to fall before the invaders in
the past three weeks.
