UNION CALLS OFF
STRIKE IN MINES

jacksonville, Ky, Aug. 4.-Declar-
ing that the coal operators organiza-
ton is too strong to be defeated the
United Mine Workers today called off
the strike in the five counties of Hop
kins, Webster, Christian, Union and
Henderson.
National Organizer George Har-
grove, who is here, received instruc-
tions tonight from the International
Executive Council to notify the men
now out on strike to find work where
ever they can get it either in the
local fields or in other fields. Their
transportation will be paid by the
union if they are forced to leave the
State.
In the statement calling off the
strike, the council declares only
twenty per cent of the men employed
in the five counties responded to the
walk-out order, and that to continue
the fight is too costly and will only
mean defeat for the union in the end
At present the operators in the five
counties affected are producing more
coal today than July 3 when the
strike was called.

GERMANY Is FACED
BY COAL SHORTAGE

Berlin, Aug. 4.-The fed, crisis IN
Germany is practically ended, at least
for eight OF ten months, but many
other serious economic difficulties re-
main The worst one of them is the
lack Of coal. Thousands of war pris-
oners formerly employed in the mines
had to be sent to the rural districts
for the summer as farm labortrs to
secure The much needed harves,, and
the result is that all of the mines
have to be worked with greatly re-
duced crews.
The transportation problem also
grows more and more difficult. Every
ear ana locomotive is needed for mill
tary purposes, and even the limited
quantities of coal mined can not be
shipped. Many cities, especially in
the southern states, have not fuel
enough for their gas works and cleo
trio power plants, which have been
rarity closed in many instances.
In Strassburg, Stuttgart, Mann
helm and many other cities the use of
gas for cooking has been prohibited
and between the hours of a. m. and
I p. m. nobody is permitted 10 use
gas for any purpose

sion of 739 kilometers. Twenty-seven
kilometers are held by the Belgians,
1873 by the English 574 by the French
The French army holds accordingly
more than two-thirds of the Western
front, that is to say, of the front
where the enemy has always direct
ed its chief exertion. The German
divisions in line on the Western front,
were moreover in June, 1917, dis
tributed as follows:
"Forty-two opposite the English,
eighty-one opposite the French. A
German division holds an average
front of four kilometers, 700 meters !;
a French division an average front of
five kilometers, 500 meters, that is
to say, one-sixth more.
We are amply furnished with '75s.
Since the beginning of the war the
number of these guns were constant
ly increased. AS for heavy artillery
we had in August, 1914, 300 guns
grouped in regiments. In June, 1917,
we had 5000 of them, mostly mod
ern. Our output of munitions was
arranged in August, 1914, for $4,000
shots of '75s' a day. II is now ar
ranged for $4,000 shots of '75s' and
100, 900 shots Of heavy guns.
ITO be equal to this enormous pro-
duction, invaded France did not hest
tate in the midst of war, to create
new industries and to bestow on
military industries the best of its
productive strength"
NJ. Tardieu says there we're fired on
German trenches in one of the last
offensives, for one lineal meter.
Field artillery 407 kilogrammes;
trench artillery, 203 kilogrammes: ;
heavy artillery 704 kilogrammes, and
high power, 1913 kilogrammes.
Monthly expenditure of ammuni-
ton for the 75s were:
July, 1916, 100000 shells; Sep
TENDER, 1916, 100000 shells; Oc-
tober, 1916, 100000 shells.
During the last offensive the ex-
penditure was 100000 shots in all
calibre. ] might also add that we
completely re-equipped and re-armed
the Belgian, Serbian and Greek arm

en- by us to the Allies exceeds 500"

NEW PLANES SHOOT THRU
BLADES OF PROPELLERS

Washington. Aug. 4.-War De-
partment officials just learned that
the latest Allies, battleplane carries
six machine guns.
Three are stationary, at the front,
their time of fire so synchronized
that the shots go between the rapidly
revolving propeller instead of hit
ting them.
These three guns make cone OF
fire, and are set in action by lever
controlled by the aeroplane driver.
There are two other machine guns
pointed upwards, and which can be
swung from side to side. These are
handled by the machine gun operator,
carried for that purpose.
He also handles the sixth gun
pointed downwards, covering the
space below the plans, hitherto with
out protection.

French Republic and made public to-
day.
Text Of Letter.
NJ. Tardien's letter to Secretary
Baker reads.
July 80, 1917.
Dear Mr. Baker.
81 brought to your knowledge in
recent talk the surprise I felt in
re2ding so often in American news
PAPERS some utterly inaccurate infor-
nation regarding the military con-
ditions prevailing in Europe and es-
pecially in the French Army. In
connection with our conversation, |
bgreve it would be of interest to pre-
seft to you some figures which, better
than any comments will expose to you
the reality. These figures will show
you France as she really is, vigorous
and powerful in spite of three years
OF suffering without precedent in his
tory.
"The strength in men, now pres
ent in the zone OF the armies alone,
shows the maximum figure reached
during the war. This figure which
amounts to little less than three
millions OF men, exceeds by over a
million the number of men actually
in the zone at the beginning, and one
must add to that figure the men in
the zone of the interior and in the
colonies.
1--WE are certain with the resources
of our metropolitan and colonial de-
pots to be able TO maintain that num-
Der up to its present level for long
time TO come. Our strength in men
by reason of n better command, and
of better methods of instruction, has
shown since the beginning of the war,
constantly decreasing defnitive casu-
alties chilling, missing and those
taken prisoners
1.-The following figures substantiate
this:
BATTLES of Charleroi and of the
Marine, Sal per cent casualties in
proportion TO the total modified
strength.
First six months of 1915, 2.S9 per
cent casualties.
Second six months of 1915, les
per cent casualties.
First six months of 1916, 1.47
per cent casualties.
Second six months of 1916, LES
casualties.
For measuring the offensive and
Offensive quality of the troops whose
numerical strength | have indicated
above, | can do nothing better than
TO quote some more figures.
