comment on the fact that the Brit
ish are tagging behind and have nc
complished but little along their sec
ton of the battle front between the
Ancrc and the Somme. To refute this
reproach the English mysterously
hint that their main blow would be
struck at another point. This may
be- true, but we await further devel-
opments calmly. The result of the
battles fought since the first Of July
has convinced us that the numerically
enormous British army is not able to
drive us back to the Rhine.
IN the meantime our offensive
against Verdun continues unimpaired
We are well able to beat back the
desperate counter-attacks Of the
French before the fortress and TO adj
vance nearer our goal, step by step.
"The neutral press discusses the
possible consequences of the fall of
Verdun. We cannot join this debate,
but we know that the German gen
eral staff, trained in the spirit OF
Moltke, does not make large sacrifices
, to gain temporary success of doubt
full value, but always looks far ahead.
THE Russian offensive proves more
durable than anybody expected. Aft
err a pause on the southeastern front
it has started anew and at the same
time General Kuropatkin began ire
mendOus attacks against the lines Of
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg and
Prince Leopold of Bavaria in the
North. Bitter battles were fought be-
tween Riga and Dvnsk along the
Shtchara, on both sides Of the Barano-
witchi railroad and along the Oginski
canal, but everywhere our troops vic
toriously repealed the onslaught OF the
enemy.
Further south, in Volhynia, Gen
eral Won Linsingen has been compelled
to fall back across the Stokhod river;
west of Lutsk the Russians have
crossed the Galican border Mt Brody
the army of General Won Bothmer
had to retire from the Strypa to the
korOpiec, the Russians have advanced
Il little west of kolomea and south Of
the Pruth the Austro-Hungarian front
has been pushed back TO the Carpa-
thianS
The successes Of the Russians are
of little practical value, because our
front has nowhere been broken. In
the Bukowina General Won Pflanzer-
Baltin faced Russian forces which
were numerically six times stronger
than his. For a time his army was in
u dangerous position and threatened
with humiliation, but he slillfully
Withdrew toward the Carpathians, in
fllcting heavy losses upon the Rus
slams in regular actions. His lines
remained intact and he was able TO
start counter-attack as soon as he
received e-enforcements.
How long the Russians will be able
to continue their offensive cannot be
estimated. Grand Duke Nicholas
again dominates the Russian general
staff and has given orders that the
AuStro-German lines must be broken
regardless of the cost. The present
Russian strategical methods are ex-
actly the same as during the first year
of the war. The Russians will con
tinue their Onslaughts until eXhaus-
ton stops them. They may reach the
wall of the Carpathians, but there
they will surely dash themselves to
pieces"

WAR RAISES COST
OF COAL, |SCLA|M|
Explosives Used In Blasting
Higher, and Other PRODUCE
ton Factors Soar.

An increase In cost OF cents per
ton. amounting to an aggregate or
100000 in the production OF coal in
the United states Ia directly traceable
to the European war. according to a
Calculation Just made by coal mine
owners.
The Increase comes about through
the use OF explosives by the miners in
blasting. The general public In aware
that blasting Is one of the principal
means for dislodging coal from the
mother veins In the mines. IL trans
pires that because OF the great demand
risen to such an extent that It costs
an average OF cents to blast out every
ton OF anthracite coal used In this
country.
While much has been written regard
ing the Increase In the cost OF raw
materials that come from Europe. there
has been very little placed before the
public Of the effect OF the increase In
prices Of articles used In the production
OF products or this country that really
do not become a part OF the finished
article the consumer buys.
Dynamite manufacturers are reported
to have announced that before long II
will be impossible to get enough glycerin
in this country to make dynamite. None
Is being imported from France and
England because all Is being used in
the munitions factories in those coun-
tries. The demand for nitrate Of soda
is so great in Europe that this princi-
pal ingredient OF black powder Is be-
coming scarce. Sulphuric acid. nitric
acid. and nitrate OF ammonia have also
advanced In price.
The Increase in the cost OF the ex-
plosives made from these ingredients
runs all the way from 40 to 200 per cent
Under their agreement with the miners
the mine operators are required to fur
nish explosives at n certain price. The
new agreement. which makes no In
crease In the price of explosives, has
four years to run. The cost will, there
fore. fall on the operators as an in
crease In the cost per ton OF coal.
