The French and Ger man reports from the Argonne district are conflicting, the Germans claiming important gains embracing some two miles of trenches, while the French assert that the ground in front of the position occupied by the army of the crown prince has been regained. Both sides are in agreement as to the nature of the fighting being of the most se- were order and the losses in killed and wounded especially heavy.

 BERLIN, July 15.-The war office has announced that the latest Ger man thrust at the city of Verdun has resulted in important gains and the enemy have been compelled to fall back on the inner forts of the city. The renewal of the German offensive has been marked by a gradual spreading of the attack along the greater part of the western line and the extent of the fighting is much greater than at any time since the earlier days of the war. Continuous fighting is going on from the vicinity of Nieuport to a point beyond Verdun with the German at-

CARDIFF, July 15.-Alleging that they are entitled to an increase of wages because the owners of the coal mines in this section are making vast profits out of the war, one hundred and fifty thousand coal miners walked out on strike yesterday afternoon and the entire coal producing district is now completely tied up and threaten ing a serious coal famine throughout the British Isles.
 The strike is looked upon as a disas- ter of tremendous proportions as un- less the operators immediately accede to the demands of the strikers a seri- ous shortage is bound to result owing to the available reserve supply of coal being very small. The shortage is said to have resulted from inability of the owners to obtain men owing to the great number of miners who have en- listed for the war. The labor leaders
