Coal Mine In Back Yard.

DIES MONIES Iowa Nov. 5.-While
the price of coal continues to soar
and its scarcity grows 1t was sug-
gested here today that If it comes to
the worst, citizens can start mining
for coal in their backyards.
There's all kinds of coal under
Des Moines" said one old timer. "Why
I wouldn't be surprised If You would
find coal under the heart of Des
Moines' downtown district. / know OF
several places in Des Moines where
coal can be mined-one in particular
being the state fair grounds. also
understand coal can be found under

At the last legislative session there
was some talk Of mining the coal on
the fair grounds.

fetal communicates from Berlin
Secretary Bakers announcement
on the engagement read:
1.-THE war department has received
dispatch from the commanding gen.
eral of the American expeditionary
forces, which states that before day
light on November 8, salient occu-
pied for instruction by company Of
American infantry was raided by Ger
mans.
THE enemy put down heavy fire,
cutting off the salient from the rest
OF the line. Our losses are three
killed. five wounded and twelve cap
tured or missing.
1.-The losses of the Germans are
unknown. One wounded German was
taken prisoner by the Americans"
Counting sailors taken from mer-
chant ships sunk, and others there
are now about 100 American prison
ers in Germany. The twelve taken
Saturday, however, are the first in
fantrymen from these shores to find
their way to the Teuton detention
camps.
War department officials believe
the German raid was made deliberate
ly, either to terrorize the sammies,
new to trench warfare, or to gain in
formation as to how strong the Amerl-
can forces are, etc.
Further raids of similar character
are looked for particularly as new
units of the American forces take
their places for the first time In the
trenches. The Germans knew, war de-
partment officials say, that they had
nothing much to gain by an attack on
the American trenches, inasmuch as
the Americans are backed up by vet
eran French troops. They are pursu.
ing their tactics of terror" merely. 1t
Is believed
Little. If any. comment is expected
from General Pershing as to the
manner in which the American troops
met and battled the attackers. But
the feeling is universal IN official cir
cles that the Germans did not have
IN easy time in taking captive the
twelve Americans.

First Casualty List.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-The first
American casualty list growing out
of an actual clash between American
and German soldiers came back to the
homes and hearts of this country to-
day.
The war department gave out the
honor roll of those who died, were
wounded and are missing as a sudden
thrust into an American training sail
ent by the Germans on November 8.
In the first casualties many states
are represented. No statement IS
made as to the fighting Of the Amerl-
can troops, but they were picked men
in training to train others for &C
tive service-and that they gave good
account of themselves before yield
ing is accepted as unquestionable-
The war department states that the
German attack was preceded by
heavy barrage which cut off the
American salient from the rest of the
line. The attack was apparently de-
signed for the positive purpose OF cap
turing some Americans. possibly in
the hope of ascertaining the strength
of Pershing's forces in France and
other information to guide future eff
forts of the enemy.
When the official announcement
came that three Americans are dead,
five wounded and twelve missing" in
the first actual brush with the Ger
mans, a thrill went through the whole
country.
Immediately the war department
was besieged with inquiries from anxi-
out homes as to the names Of those
lost. The news brought to America
its first distinct appreciation that her
part in the great struggle is not to be
a bloodless one-that the cables are
certain to bring more and more fire.
Quently the message that American
soldiers have died in bitter fighting.
With the word of captured armies
on the French front, the Red Cross
Immediately fastened plays for rush
ing food and other supplies to the
Americai prisoners, through a commit
tee just established in Berne, Switzer-
land.
