attacked and captured several villages from the Germans and broken the heavily fortified Teuton line on a wide front
 In GaIicia the precipitate retreat of the Russians continues almost every where from the Carpathian foothills to the region around Tarnopoi, the gov ernment apparently not yet having had time to put in force it's strong re- pressive mea sures which M. Kerensky, the head of the government, has prom ised to apply in order to stay the debacle.
 Teutons Take Towns.
 Nadvorna, in the fringe of the foot hills, Stanislau and Tarnopol and nu merous small towns have been taken by the Teutons, who are now ap- preaching the important railroad june tiOn of Buczacz. which lies some 30 miles east of Halicz. The German emperor was an observer of the battle put down the only effort Of moment that was made to hold them back-an attack by the Russians between Tar nopol and Trembowla.
 The Command of Death.
 Since the penetration of the German lines on a wide front near Krevo, in which the Command of Death,'' com posed of women, took a notable part despite which large numbers of the
 
 tions without even the vestige of har- assment by the enemy-tf1e Russians have not stirred from their trenches again to face the foe.
 Germans Wasted Men.
 The hostilities on the Aisne front, where for weeks the Germans have wasted men by hundreds in ineffectuss attempts to break through General Petain's front, have ceased and only artillery duels are now in progress. Early Wednesday morning witnessed one of the last attempts of the crown prince to gain his objective. This was on the California plateau, where an attack was completely repulsed.
 The Germans have been successful in winning 200 yards of trenches from the British east of Monchy le Preux, which they had bombarded violently for several days past.
 In the capture of the position the enemy again resorted to the use of liquid fire. Along the front in north ern Belgium the heavy artillery duel continues, but as yet there has been no sign of either the British or the Germans starting an infantry attack.

Sydney, c. B.. July 25-Fifty to eighty miners at work in the Nu. colliery of the Dominion Coal com panY al New Waterford are believed to have been killed today as the re- suit of an explosion which wrecked the mine and released deadly gases. Two hundred and sixty men were at work in the pit at the time, many of whom became insane. A rescue party of 5 was reported among the miss ing
 The disaster, it is feared. will prove the worst in the history of mining in Cape Breton. The blast occurred at No. 6 landing soon after the forenoon shift went into the mine. It wrecked that section, in which fifty men were al work. with heavy loss of life and extended to No. section, where many others were injured and some. it was believed, killed. The gas fumes let loose by shattered walls swept through the mine and are thought to ha Q added largely to the death list, som ? estimates placing the number of df ad as high as so. Rescue parties, CT gauized immediately. brought out men so affected Inv the gases that they were temporarily insane. Rescuers found their work difficult because of the debris and the gas-charged at mosphere. Several were themselves overcome.
 At the surface arrangements were made to care for the bodies and to treat the men who were still alive. A school and q parish hall were fitted as temporary hospitals and physicians and nurses summoned from other places were soon at work over pres of injured.
 Some of those who tried to go down to No landing with rescue parties said that they feared nearly all the fifty men who were working there had been killed. either bv the explo- sion or the gas fumes.

NUMBER OF DEATHS REDUCED.
Among the Bodies Recovered Some
 Are Terribly MangIcd.

Sixty-two miners. according to lat est reports, were killed by an eXplo- No F coliery at New Waterford to- day. Thirty bodies. many of them terribly mangled, had beer recovered late tonight and it was believed that the gradual clearing away Of the gas fumes which hindered the early work of rescue would permit of the rcmov- al of wreckaGe so that other bodies could be reached before morning. Of the dead thirty were natives of Cape Breton twenty-two were from Nevv- foundlanG and the other ten were chased as foreigners.
 The cause of the disa ster. which was the worst iu the history of Cape Ere ton mining. had not been determined tonight and the mine officials were not prepared to make any statement re- garding it. There was report. Un- confirmed however that the misfir- ing of the first shot after the miners entered the pit was responsible:
 The explosion occurred at No. 6 landing where many of the 260 men in the mine were working. Most of the miners on that landing were killed At No. landing the rescue party found Nght more bodies and a large number of injured
 Rescue Shut Off.
 As the forca of the explosion blew out many of the supports of No. { section. it was difficult for the first aid parties to make much headway. Several of those who went to the sec tion when the first alarm was given were overcome by the cases generated bv the explosion so that their com rades had to carrv' them back to the service Among those affected by the gas was Angus R. Mcdonald. mahager of the colliery. who. with a sUDerin- tendent. Alex NTcEn chern. led in the early rescue work Mir Mcdonald was brought up from the pit unconscious but recovered after reaching the open, air.
 An Awful Scene.
 Many of the miners were rendered temporarily insane by the gas They ran about with tongues protruding and eyes bu'Ging. frequently attempt ing to attack their rescuers. It was not until these men had been con trolled and the miners from other lev els brought them safely to the surface. some unconscious. that the work of seeking for the dead and injured at inc actual scene of the explosion could he fairly organized.
 Volunteers Have Divided.
 Oxygen apparatus was brought in- 10 service but even with this available, the great volume of gas rushing from the mouth of the pit made the en- trance of rescuers haza rdous. Under tho direction of General Superintend- e1t Forge and his assistant. w. F. Maxwell the volunteers were divided into parties Of ten. Each party a S 1t came mp from the depths of the mine was greeted by groane and shrieks from the anxious crowd about the nit mouth as relatives recognized in the Iifeless burden brought 10 the sur face the bodies of loved ones. Not all the bodies were recognizable. The ex- plosion had literally heheaded some and torn limbs from others.
 Police Have Difficulties.
 The police found it difficult to drive the people from the mine mouth so that the rescue work would not be hampered. Mothers and wives strove heroicaT1y to keep back tears while they waited. Some of them receiv- ed the worst news with stoical com
