lBy The Associated PresS)
Amsterdam, Sept. l0.-An eX-
change of views between the Cen
tral Powers and the entente was
tentatively suggested by Baron Bu-
rian, the Austro-Hungarian foreign
minister in an address to visiting
German newspaper men, according
to a Vienna dispatch today.
Baron Burian declared that the
adversaries of the central powers
needed only to provide the oppor,
tunity 'in calm exchange of views
Some sort of direct, informative
discussion is thinkable which would
be far from being peace negotiation;
of discussing and weighing every
thing which today separates the bel
ligerent parties, and no further
fighting will perhaps be needed tc
bring them closer together"
Continuing, the foreign minister
said
II am certain that this war must
cost this tormented earth Il terrible
amount OF bloodShcd and an i'm
measurable destruction OF preciou,
possessions before the end can be
reached by the military overthrow
OF the enemy il indeed, this at al

Fenway Park, Boston, Sept. To-
After a strike of two hours by the
Red Sox and the Chicago Cubs, for
re-adiustment OF the players
share OF the worlds series receipts,
that met a flat refusal by the ma
tonal baseball commission, the
players OF the two contendng teams
agreed that they would contest the
remaining games ii it was publicly
announced that they are playing
"ior the sake OF the public; the good
name OF baseball and the soldiers
and >oilors present
The decision to play was not made
until ) o'clock. when after a stormy
session with the players and the
members OF the commission in the
club house, Harry Hooper, the
Red Sox right fielder, who headed
the committee OF players said:
I'VE will play the game TOR the
sake Of baseball. We know we have
not been given square deal
There were probably over twenty
thousand persons present when the
players finally came upon the ileld
for practice. The national com
mission indicated clearly that it
could not change the rule, having
no authority to do so.
Red Sox Needs One.
The Red Sox needed but one more
game to capture the world series,
while the hapless Cubs were fighting
in their last line OF trencheo.
The day was fair with an uucloud-
ed sky and weather conditions were
ideal for a game.
The band played The Spangled
Banner" while the players and spec
tators stood with barred heads. Hen
dirk and Vaughn warmed up for the
Cubs, while sam Jones, Boston 5
right handler, worked out ior the
Red Sox.
1t was announced that O'Day
would give the decisions behind the
plate; Hildebrand at first; Klein at
second and Owens at third.

Washington. Sept lO.-New ev;-

Washington from an authoritative
source. it was learned today, show
ing that seven enemy divisions on
the western front had been DIS
banded entirely Tor lack OF men.
There are now only l95 German

cording to these reports, and OF
these there are only 10 that hay c

eight divisions. the battalion forma-
tien has been reduced to three com
panies from four. which means re-
duction OF onc-fourth in the fighting
strength OF these divisions
The report adds that TIE trench
strength OF Germany is now entirely
inadequate.
These reports throw light on the
underlying reasons for the great
German Withdrawal and complete
abandonment Of the drive which was
started last March. 1t was vitally

tain TakeShima said that the word is
the survival of Japanese CUSTOM
centuries old. He explained the or
igin as follows: "There are two Opin-
ions as to how the custom originated.
One of the stories is that in ancient
times the Japanese attached 'maru'
to the name af anything highly priced.
1t was first applied to ships name
about 1000 years ago, when the EN-
press lingo sent an expedition to
Korea. She added the word to the

During the year 1917 the Iron Silver
Company and it's lessees produced
from all it's properties 40,075 tons OF
ore having net value of $36S,739. A
total of 1926 feet of development work
was completed.
At Leadville the leasers now Operat-

The Royal Tiger Mining and Milling
Company, operating the property for

Day and night shifts are taking ore
out of Cocomongo mine at Bonanza
faster than three four-horse teams can
take it to the railroad. The old White

there being good sale for lead-zinc ore
That this summer is to witness the
renewal of operations at a number of
the old mines is evidenced by the re-

that are being made by property own
ers, formerly Leadville men, who are
now located in other cities.
A company of lessees, headed by
Harry McKeen, has just discovered a
