WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES
IN THE FIELD, Aug. II. = Hill
20 ran red today with the blood of
erman divisions, sacrificed in re-
peated efforts to recapture this
important dominating height from
the sturdy Canadians.
Along the entire new Lens bat
tlefront, the most desperate fight
ing has been in progress for the
last IL hours.
The Canadians have repulsed
all attacks. At the time this dis
patch is filed they have retaken
positions west of Cite st. Au,guste,
from which they were forced by
sheer weight of numbers during
the night.
Miracles i'm Air
Prisoners continue to arrive be-
hind the British lines. In addi-
ton the Germans left considera-
BILE number of guns in the mud.
Over the flaming, bloody field
British airplanes have been ac-
complishing miracles.
They are acting as dispatch
riders between the advancing in
fantry and headquarters. Battle
planes guard them as they fly thru
a shell-filled sky carrying orders
and reports from the front lines
to commanding officers in the
rear.
Last night was one of death.
Bavarians Routed
The Canadians, in whose ranks
are many Americans who enlisted
with the Maple Leaf forces in the
Dominion, fought valiantly,
hanging onto every position with
bulldog-like tenacity.
The Bavarians opened the coun-
ter attacks on the outskirts of
Lens. They charged and coun-
ter charged headlong against the
Canadians in their mad endeavor
to re-take Hill 20. The attack
opened about dusk.
After the Bavarians came the
Frussian guards. They threw
themselves forward in close for
nation. Canadian artillery and
machine guns blazed forth.
The attack was headed straight

OH, LISTEN TO
THIS REASON!

The reason for present coal
prices is lack of demand for coal,
according to John Hewitt, official
of several local coal mines and
secretary-treasurer Of the Hewitt
Land Co., who testified before the
board of equalization Friday
morning during the hearing of the
Milwaukee Land Co.'s protest
against the raise in assessed valu-
alton on its coal lands.

TACOMA

The price of coal i'm Taco
ma has advanced 81 a ton on
the average since spring.
Not since 1901 have prices
been so high.
There is no immediate hope
of prices coming down.
Rather they will continue
to climb during the winter.
Before the winter is over IL
may be hard work to get coal
at all.
This is what dealers and oper-
ators have to say today about the
coal situation here.
Where you could have had a
ton of Renton nut, for instance,
put in your cellar for SIS year
ago, it now costs 81. King nut
has jumped from IS to Sc; btu
minous lump from $3.50 to So;
bituminous steam from IS to Sc,
and so on down the line.
Here are some of the reasons
given by Tacoma dealers ques-
toned by The Times:
Operators at the mines
have raised the price 81 to 81
ton since the first of the
year.
The cost of carriage and de-
livery for a truck, driver and
team has advanced from SO
to 50 a day.
The price of oats has gone
up from $40 to $50.
Wages have advanced ev-
erywhere. The lowest price
for labor at Tacoma yards is
$3 day.
From the operators comes this
The general cost of prod 0ction
has been tremendously increased.
Rails, iron, steel, timber and
at the mines have al
most doubled in price over year
ago
Wages of miners have advanced
and will continue to advance to
keep pace with the cost of living.
The lowest wage of the common
laborer at the mines is $3.50 a
day for eight hours. Coal miners
have had two wage increases since
the first of the year, some of them
so per cent.
A number of mines have been
compelled to close down because
Of the cost of operating and be-
cause men are not available.
Operators are making less
than they did III normal
lines. None is making more than
3 per cent on the investment.
Freight rates increased Is cents
1 ton the first of the month.
Tax assessments on coal prop
erty in Pierce county have been
400 per cent.

against serious coal short

cific Coast Coal Co.

year are being mined in the state
of Washington" asserted Hewitt,
"and there isn't a demand for
more than 100000 tons. If
there was a demand for more,
more would be mined"
1.-The coal companies may be
making a little money now. but
they need it to get out of hook. :
Hewitt also declared there IS
coal enough in the state of WASH
ington for 100 years, but that
most of it can never be mined.
A legal opinion has been asked
by the board on the question
brought up by one tract of the
of the land company's holdings,
whether the company, which
bought only the timber and sur
face rights, should be taxed on
mineral rights, which were re-
served to another party.

COMES TO
MARRIED
MEMS AID

WASHINGTON, Aug. IL. :
President Wilson today wrote
Senator Weeks, Massachusetts,,
that he will take up again with
the war department the question
of exempting married men with
families from the selective draft.
The presidents letter was In
reply to one from Weeks calling
attention to great dissatisfaction
turnout the country on this point.
Drafting married men with
families, except in the case where
marriage has been entered into
for the purpose of escaping the
draft, is economically an unsound
policy" Weeks wrote, "and II Is
unwise from the standpoint of
successful prosecution of the war
to take married men as long az
there are sufficient numbers OF
single men to meet the govern
ment's requirements.
1T will also mean very mate
rally added burdens to the gov
eminent in caring for departments
and 1t increases the distress Of
mind of at least one person for
every one drafted"
To this the president replied:
Your point of view with regard
to the drafting Of men with faml-
lies. is undoubtedly well taken,
and l have reason to believe 1t II
much in the mind at least OF most
of the drafting boards. shall
take pleasure in calling the atten-
ton of the war department again
to It,"
Weeks also asked the president
to include aliens In the draft.
