WILL ACQUISITION
 BRASS DOOR KNOBS
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands. July 2S. All pleas of German landlords and sighs of German housewives notwith- standing, the war ministry in Berlin declares that the requisitioning of brass and bronze door and window handles and fittings, in dwelling houses and other buildings, is inevit- able. The measure will be carried out in three to four months time.
 The Association of Berlin House. owners societies had sent a deputation to wait on the chief of the particular secitno of the war office concerned, but all in vain. In place of the brightly shining brass and bronze articles in which she takes so much pride, the German housewife will have to content herself as best she can with black "ersatz" (substitute) door and window handles and fittings. At least, the state proposes to supply such uniform sub- stituteS, and even to see to the affiX- ing of same directly after the removal of the original articles. If this be not to the taste of those concerned, they must bear the expense of replacement thmselves.
 Under yet another official decree eX- pected very shortly, all brass and bronze ornaments, grates, lenders, etc. are to be seized for the metal devour- ing war, while the provisional exemp- tion of requisitioned copper, brass and
 nickel objects, particularly domestic articles, has been already withdrawn.

eral returned to camp today from brief but interesting visit to the French front. He plans to go again soon and with him probably will go many other officers.
 Wearing a French shrapnel helmet, and with a gas mask slung about his neck, he inspected the trenches. in cluding bits of the front line. As very little can be seen of the fighting from the trenches. however, the general later climbed into an observation post high in a stalwart old tree, where he spent an hour or so, with the shells swishing around him in all directions One shell broke within about 200 feet of where the party was located but it caused no undue commotion.
 The general was much impressed with all he saw, especially the details of the organization behind the lines features to which the Americans will have to devote an immense amount of attention.
 Three German airplanes attempted to cross the French lines during the generals visit yesterday, but all were turned back by French aircraft and ar tillery One of the members of the generals staff, former aviator, was Y d trip over the German lines.
 The general, in full fighting regalia, was an imposing figure and attracted the admiration of the poilus in the trenches.
 Two American base hopistal units, organized under the direction of the Red Cross but taken over by the United States army, have just arrived in the American army zone in France and are established some 20 miles apart. Both units have taken over French hospi- tals, where, however, there are very few patients. The work soon will be organized of caring for the American sick and wounded sent back from the advance field hospitals and the casual ty clearing stations.
 The first of the units to reach France was base hospital No. IS, organized at Johns Hopkins university, Baltimore. This was quickly followed by base hos pital No. f5, from Roosevelt hospital New York. the latter being organized and equipped largely through the in- terest of Clarence Mackay Each of these organizations is cap able of caring for 1000 to 1500 patients. They have brought over large SUD- plies, but one of the great problems they will have to meet is that Of keep ing warm this winter. for a serious coal shortage is threatened.
 The Roosevelt hospital unit now is established in number of summer hotels, which are not provided with heating facilities for winter, but plans are already under way to install stoves or if possible set up steam heating apparatus. The Johns Hopkins unit is temporarily housed in French base hospital but may later take up it's quarters in a barracks, which is really easier to heat than the barn like hotels.
 The two American units include some well known American surgeons and physicians who while awaiting ' American patients, probably will visit most of the French hospitals in this zone.
 l Americas medical aid now is very great at the battle front, considering 1 that six great British hospitals were taken over in June.

Third lnvestioator

DENVER, July 2S.-A third investi- gator, to be named by President Will son, to work with Platt Rogers and Harvey Riddell. appointed by Governor Gunter to adjust the Leadville strike controversy was requested in a state
 ment sent to the governor by a com mittee representing the Cloud City local
 of the International Union of Mine,
 Mill and Shelter Workers.
 While both union and company off
 cials held out slight hope for further negotiations to avert a strike in Colo
 rado Fuel & Iron company coal mines, James F. Moran, district president of the United Mine Workers of America said today that instead of a formal strike. union workers might simply quit their jobs and seek work with
 other companies.
 Secretary Warren Pippin of the union expressed the same view He said he believed President Welborn and other officials of the company wished to be fair, but that it had been "wrongfully represented to them that
 the so-called Rockefeller plan for handling disputes was a success. The statement. which is signed by Tom Owen, Luke Mourat, Albert Car penter and c. E. Francis, follows: we, the unQeTSlSneO committee representing the miners of the Lead
 vile district, after carefully consider 1 ing the proposition made by the mine i operators of Leadville to you as gov ernor. hereby submit the following, the acceptance of which we agree to rec l ommend to the miners of Leadville, providing the same is accepted by the | operators.
 First. believing that it is the wish | of your eXcellency that the inveStigat-
 DTS appointed by you shall determine 1 whether the miners of Leadville are
 entitled to an increase in wages and that their findings and conclusions
 shall be complied with by both the op-
 orators and the miners thereby insur-
 ing an early resumption of operations
 in the Leadville district, without ques-

SMALL PAY IN THE
 ARMY OF SWEDEN
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

STOCKHOLM, July 2S.-To one who desires to make a financial success of his life. the career of officer in the Swedish army offers little indcement. The discussion attending a movement to increase the pay of officers has been pointed by the following instance, which is declared to be average and typical
 The officer in question served three years as a second lieutenant without pay and five years more in the same grade at s144 a year. He was then for five years first lieutenant at S2S0 a year, then for seven years regimental adiutant at S367 yearly, and five years regimental quartermaster at s56S yearly.
 At the age of 45, after 25 years service, he became captain and re- ceived $906 a year for IF years For the next four years he received as major the yearly pay of s1.405 and then became lieutenant colonel at s1.75O, His retirement pension was $960 a year.
 The officers cannot, of course, sup port themselves and buy their uni forms on their pay. They must either have independent incomes, make a rich marriage or else devote their little spare time to profit bringing outside work

word about your own sacrifice. The place to which you have been called is one which no man would seek save in the performance of one of the highest of patriotism.
 There is not in any real sense, any remuneration. Because thousands of citizens urged members of local boards should be not placed in a position of performing their grave duties for pay. the regulations provide that ordinar- ily, the service shall be uncompensated- Because if was not desired that any man be prevented from rendering the service by the necessity for earning his daily bread, a small remuneration was provided.
 The nation needs men and needs them quickly. The hours will then be long and the work absorbing. The du- ty is always to take and never to give. and human nature is such there will be little praise and some blame. The sacrifice of many of those whose cases are to be decided is no greater than that Of the men who are to decide and your only reward must be the know ledge that at great personal sacrifice. you are rendering your country an in dispensable service in a matter of the .,-,17oc+ rDOrnant v

may try to do so, it may be impossible for them to agree on the important question that they shall have to de- termine, and should they fail, the sit uation in the Leadvile district would be practically the same as it is at the present time.
 Therefore in order to avoid these complications and insure an adjustment of the dispute We believe it advisable that another member shall be added to the board; and as evidence that our purpose is only to insure a final award and that we have confidence in Messrs. Rogers and Riddell, we agree to recom- mend to the miners of Leadville that as investigators, and in order that the board may be complete in point of number, as is the custom in the selec- tion of all boards whatsoever, we pro- pose that the third member shall be appointed by the president of the United States.
 Second, we must also ask, that it shall be agreed upon by the employers that all employees who quit work on or before the twenty-first day of July 1917, shall be reintsated upon the resumption of work in the same positions that they occupied immediately preceding that date, and that they shall not now or hereafter be discriminated against for having quit work as aforesaid"

ANOTHER GROUP OF LEADV|LLE'S MINES
 IN STRIKES GRASP
Republican 4. p. Leased WireJ

LEADVILI.E, Colo, July 2S.-The Leadvile mines, was added to The list of those which already have announced would be closed and the pumps, trans and other underground tools drawn. This increased the list of mines which will be closed down for the present, at least, to five, the Robert Emmett. the Mccormick. the Old Mover and fourth big mine. the name of which has not yet been announced will be shut down until there is a readjustment of the labor situation in this distiict.
 It was announced tonight hat the pumps, track and other unleI ground equipment of the Diamond are now be- ing withdrawn and the water permitted to raise in this group of gold mines. These mines are worked through the Yak tunnel which extends for d dis tance of three miles under Iron and Greece hills. penetrating the heart of the mineralized Leadville district. The reason given for the withdrawal of this group from the list of operating mines in this field was given as the great eX- penSe incident to operating the two large shafts. But it was known that the present labor problem affected the decision to close. As this group is classed as wet the water level is eX- pected to raise rapidly in these shafts after pumping operations have ceased.
 The striking members of the local miners union insist that the announced closing down of the five large mines is merely a bluff and that, when the present strike blows over, these mines will be re-opened and operated.
 Eli Follett, secretary of the Cloud City Union said tonight he did not consider the action of the operators as having any vital bearing upon the strike situation.
 The mines belong to the operators and 1 do not know their business" he said. But I do know that the strikers will not allow themselves to be infIu- enced by any action in arriving at a settlement of the present labor differ enceS."
 In answer to this position which has been generally assumed by the strik ing miners. especially of the miners union officials, the operators call at tention to the fact that the work of pulling the pumps, withdrawing the underground equipment and the Clos ing of all opera tions at these mines is now actually under way They insist that, as practical mining men, they would not permit their mines to fill with water if they were simply bluff ing as the strikers claim and they declare their intention of diseontinuing all operations at these five properties until ''the union no longer interferes with the labor situation here," as one operator said tonight.
 Only a brief message was received by the miners union from it's commit. tee in Denver and the local striker. were in ignorance tonight what actioi had been taken there looking to tn, settlement of the strike. Secretar,

of foodstuffs would still have been too little for the demand upon us during the cming year if our people had not responded to the call for wise use, economy and elimination of waste.
 Our American canners will this year produce about 1,700o0O,00 coo cans of fruit and vegetables. Our government and the allies will require about 200 900, 900 of these cans. The returns we have from various state organizations indicate, from the results obtained for the first half of the season that the American women will preserve 2O0.- 000.000 jars and cans this year of fruit and vegetables, and will thus sup ply any deficiency called for by the armies.
 "The elimination of waste in the country has been most gratifying. The best index of this saving Is in garbage returns from our large cities We have the returns from the month of June from cities with an aggregate popula- tion of 15,000 showing a reduction of their garbage by S2 per cent under the month of June last year"

WOULD DEVELOP
 BR|TA|N'S MINES
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

LONDON, July 2S.-The develop ment of the mineral resources of Great Britain and Ireland, now being under taken by the department of the min istry of munitions under ,ne direction of Sir Lionel Phillips, is expected to lead to far-reaching results. Sir Lionel Phillips is we'll known for his work in developing the mineral resources of South Africa. Steps are being taken to control and expand mines from which it is expected to produce a home sup ply of tungsten powder, an essential ingredient in the manufacture of some grades of steel.
 A complete survey of the lead re sources of the country also is being carried out; new sources of supply are being investigated and old workings re opened. Similar action is being talk en with regard to the production of zinc sulphur, and low grade copper deposits.
 The department is gaining valuable information which will allow it to offer future suggestions as to the prospect of the normal base metal industry of the United Kingdom. It will also be en- abled to report on the relative cost of home production against importation and to advise as to the placing of the industry in the best position to meet emergencies.

common good to cali them. This calm determination could not exist were 1t not for the confidence of the nation in it's institutions.

Follett said the committee had received proposal from the representatives of the government but said he did not know the exact nature of it. The com mittee is not expected to return to Leadville until early in the week.
 In the meantime this camp continues as quiet as a deserted village.
 Fishing is good on Tennessee creek and many strikers spend their days there Merchants complain of falling If in business and there is a general tone of unrest in the camp because of the prolongation of the labor dispute and the resulting tie-up of the mines upon which the life and business of the camp depends. No arrests have heen made as a result of the strike. there have been no labor disputes on the streets. none but union hall meet ings and the Leadville strikers claim
 to be conducting the most orderly and peaceable strike in the history of the state. The only evidence that the strike is in progress is the presence of few i pickets on the mine trails, and the un- ! usually large number of miners to be seen on the streets and around union | headQuarterS.
