MINERS ARE SHOT DOWN.
Kentuckians on Strike in Coal Fields
Battle With Posse.

DdIIlG WIN TpSSGs
Louisville, Ky.-A number of men
were killed Sunday in a battle between
indicted union miners and a posse
sent out by the authorities to arrest
them.
The condition existing amounts prac-
tically to state of civil war in the
coal fields.
The governor is expected to order
troops TO maintain order.
Certain union factions, backed, it is
said by the none too subtle hand of
the Teuton, have practically declared
civil war on the authorities in Harlan
county In the past three weeks more
than twenty men have been killed as
a result of the mine strike troubles
and many have been injured.

POPE MAY SEND NEW NOTE.
Will Ask Warning Nations to Outline
Their Peace Terms.

Rome-It was stated by a source
close to the Vatican on September 80
that the pope proposes to send a new
note to the governments of Germany
and Austria requesting them, since
they have accepted the basic princi-
pies of his original peace proposals, to
outline their definite peace terms. At
the same time it is reported the pontiff
will ask the allies to give their condi-
lions.

"You will not hosl to your oath?"

Lydia stopped quickly and lifted Da-
vid's hand TO her lips.
She went hastily from the room. The
two men stood facing each other and
for a while there was silence. Then
David spoke slowly:
Are you going TO remain here?"
Scull Strengthened himself up.
"No! we shall go back to England

you have given me everything. You

David nodded wearily and went out
A cold and dreary rain was still fall
ing, but a ray of light shone from the
tavern door on the upturned face of the
dead Indian. David stopped and
looked down upon the sightless visage
for moment and then laughed. The
dreadful features were twisted into Il
smile as to ultimate victory, and a
little rivulet of rain trickled unceas-
ingly from the corner of the mouth.
No more of wretched life; no more OF
firewater!
David's hand stole unconsciously to
the pistol that hung heavily within the
folds Of his own blouse. His fingers
tightened on it and his lips drew to-
gether in harder line. Why
not? The thing so easily, so
quickly done. Why not?
Was there anything remaining to
make him hold to life any longer2
What though Blackford did believe in
him? What though hundred friends
believed in him? What mattcred all
their friendships, their stupid greet
ings, the little kindnesses of daily in

great things to be done in this new
land amount to? Petty dreams, petty
tasks, buying and selling, squabblings
over pennies, wranglings over little
gains-a sordid prospect, the heritage
of fools!

N\ bic position. who has Just re-
u q turned TO Switzerland from his
Mace of business in a city of France,
occupied for two and half years by
the German authorities gives the fol-
lowing account of life under the tempo
rary masters:
"In invaded France all men without
exception are obliged 10 salute respect
fully the German officers. Orders to TINS
effect are posted up permanently IN
places most in sight. In nearly all the
cities the order, is also called out twice

AT first those who neglected to obey
the order were punished by four days IN
prison. Then the penalty was raised 70
fourteen days. and when lei, SUI,
prisoners were sent at once to work at
the front and the city was made TO pay
$50 marks fine ts37.5o) for each case.
THE commanding officers were not
satisfied with posting up ana crying
publicly this order to salute. From the
start they appointed officers TO teach
civilians how they wished the salute TO
be made. Once Mai Won c.. found the

1T is not at all unusual to see them
stop men in the street and oblige them
to do the salute over again and TO pass
back and forth again and again before
them making the salute going and
coming Why? Because the hat was not
taken off low enough. or because the
left hand was not kept on the trouser
seam while saluting. or because the one
salutng did not look the ofhcer IN the
face when Saluting.
From such orders no one is exempt,
neither halt nor lame. They have to
put aside their clutches and back UP

But the most revolving sight I had
occasion to witness was given by an
officer in command. Rittmeister Gloss.
He was seated comfortably in his auto
when he saw man digging his garden
with his back to the road. AS the man
did not turn to salute, the officer stopped
his auto. called the man forward, gave
him a thorough beating. and then made
the poor fellow get into the auto with
him and took him off to prison himself.
