Wholesale Arrests in Colorado on
Charges Growing Out Of Strike.
Denver.-With $50 secret indict-
ments returned at Walsenburg, whole
sale arrests of labor leaders have been
renewed by Sheriff Jen Far, as the re-
suit of a special Grand Jury investi-
cation into riots n pitched battles
during the coal strike.
Among the men arrested are Eli NJ.
Gross, vice-president of the State la
Dor organization; william T. Hickey.
secretary-treasurer; Charles Haines,
secretary Of the United Mine Workers
at Walsenburg, and nine others. Ten
of the men are in the Walsenburg
Jail, declared by investigators to be
M of the worst prisons in the coun-
try.
This sudden activity. coming two
months after the strike was called on
and nearly a year since the riots, is
branded by John McLennan. presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers, as
a raid on organized labor.
The indictments cover charges OF
murder, arson, assault and ~rioting and
are based on occurrences in the three
days battle at the McNally mine last
April, when a coal company employee
and Major P. P. Lester of the Color
ado National Guard were killed.

STRIKES TERROR TIC ENGLAND.

London.-England Is suffering from
a case OF nerves as a result of the re-
cent submarine and Zeppelin raids.
Dover has had its turn. The sudden
roar of a gun in one of the harbor bat
teries and the simultaneous flashes
of searchlights drew a crowd to the
seafront, all convinced that a Ger
man submarine raid was at hand.
The facts are that a steamship tried
to enter harbor without complying
with the harbor regulations, drawing
the attention of the gunners. The
vessel was not damaged.
The recent destructive raids by Ger
nan submarines in the Irish Sea, fol
lowing bold and extensive operations
in the North Sea, the Channel and off
the north coast Of Ireland, has con-
WINGED the British that no waters, no
port even, is quite safe from Ger
many's submersible ~destroyers. Lloyd's
insurance on coastwise traffic jumped
at a bound from 5 to Is per cent. 1t
is reported that a German submarine
was OOool 'ou III lne Irish OSd eiSnIeen
miles from Liverpool.
The present campaign against Brit
ish merchant vessels appears to be
centred at two points, in the vicin-
ity of Liverpool, to which a great part
of the shipping of ports on the Chan
mel and North Sea has been trans
ferred to make room for the transpor-
tation of troops to the Continent, and
one off Havre.

wounded and prisoners. Ignorant of
the actual numbers of the Russians
defending Tarnow, the Austrian COM
mander decided to launch a general
attack. Employing an old form of
strategy the Russians quickly with
drew their skirmish lines until the
Austrian infantry divisions were with
in range of batteries posted and con
cealed. Suddenly the Austrians' col
umns were devastated by shrapnel
which came from three directions. AS
they fed from a field covered with
their dead and wounded, they were
ridden down by Cossacks. A general
movement of the Russian infantry
completed the rout.

London.-The exploit of a German
submarine in sinking British steamers
IN the Irish Sea was duplicated in the
English Channel when two steamers
nying the British flag, the Tokomaru
and the Icaria, were torpedoes.
"Of Havre," are the only words in
the statement announcing the disas-
ter that give any indication as to
where the ships were sunk.
The Tokomaru was bound from New
Zealand to England, and her crew was
rescued by the trawler Semper. The
cargo consisted in part of clothing and
a contribution of $500, New zealand's
gift to Belgian refugees.
The news was told first in the
following statement sen here by the
French Ministry of Marine:
"The Tokomaru was sunk by a tor
pedo from a German submarine. The
English vessel Icaria also was tor
pedoed in the same locality.
in the Irish Sea the English steam
ers Linda Blanche and Ben Cruachen
were torpedoed.
Hitherto the Germans, before at
lacking a merchant vessel, always al
lowed the crew sufficient time to en-
bark in the ships boats. That Gus
tom has now been abandoned, as was
shown by the bombardment of the
Admiral ~Ganteaume, which was filed
with Belgian women and children re-
fugees."
The Tokomaru was a vessel Of 1912
tons. She sailed from New South
Wales on October 29.
The French steamer Admiral Gan
teaume, to. which reference is made
in the statement Of the Minister of
Marine, was sunk while on her way
from Calais to Havre with a throng
Of Belgian refugees, of whom forty lost
their lives. The British Admiralty lat
er announced that the ship was sunk
by a German submarine.
The toll taken by the German sub
marine U-21 in it's raid in the Irish
Sea, in the vicinity Of Liverpool stands
at three ships-the steamer Ben
Cruachen, Linda Blanche and Kilcoan,
the latter a small steamer of 456 tons.
The crew of the Kilcoan was landed
on the Isle OF Man by the coasting
steamer Gladys.
The Irish Sea raider easily made
her escape, and shipping interests,
confident that she has returned to
her base, ordered a resumption of
normal traffic.
Great Britain is keenly alarmed as
to the safety of her shipping in waters
supposed to be safe.

tempt to blow up the international
railroad bridge over the st. Crolx
River at this point, thus Gripping
Canada's principal rail outlet to her
winter seaports in the East, was made
early in the morning by a man who
SAYS that he is a German army officer,
giving his name as Werner Van Horn.
He is now a prisoner here, held un-
der orders of the Acknowledgement OF
the State of Maine, who is awaiting
orders from the Federal authorities
before he takes another move Mean
time the Canadian Government, acting
through the Canadian Pacific Railway,
has begun proceedings in the hope of
securing the %extradition of the pris-
oner.
The prisoner, a powerfully built
man, 6 feet 2 inches tall, weigh
ing about 100 pounds, is undeniably
German and gives every appearance
of having had military training. Ac-
cording to the authorities he makes
no attempt to conceal the fact that at
midnight he placed a large charge of
ni~troglycerine near the Canadian end
of the bridge, therefore in British ter
ritory, and exploded it in the hope of
cutting off the long procession of grain
trains, general food trains, troop trains
and horse trains forwarded from north
ern and eastern Canada to st. John, N.
B., for shipment to the British armies
abroad. He proudly exhibits a Ger
his left arm when he was captured.
Van Horn came from New York city
arriving here and putting up at a no.
tel. The same night, by appointment,
ne met a man unknown to him per-
sonally at the east end of the bridge.
This man gave him a satchel contain
ing dynamite. Van Horn suspended
the satchel from the inside of a
post of the bridge, and about 1870
o'clock a. m. discharged the explosive.
This done, Van Horn planned to go
to Lambert Lake, whence he intended
to drive about thirty miles to Prince
ton. The night was intensely cold and
he suffered so much that he was I'M
able to carry put this purpose and
SO he returned to the hotel.
A few hours later in his room at
the hotel Van Horn quietly submitted
to arrest, but Immediately proclaimed
himself an officer of the German army,
and set up the claim that he had COM
mitted an act of war and, having ned
to a neutral country, could not be
legally surrendered to an enemy of the
Fatherland.
The Canadian authorities took a
different view of the matter and at
once started proceedings to obtain the
extradition of the prisoner on a
charge of destruction of railroad prop
erty.
The bridge which Van Horn sought
to destroy was not greatly damaged.
Within a few hours cars were shunted
across one at a time, the passengers
walking over on the ice.
