CRISIS IN ANTHRACITE
 REGION OVER

Washington, Sept. 19-Normal con- ditions will prevail in the anthracite field by tomorrow. according to the Fuel Administration.
 '"The critical labor situation in the anthracite coal mining districts has passed" said a representative of the administration. The men have re- turned to work and will Loyalty await the decision of Fuel Administrator Garfield.
 "Of the 26 colleries that were af- fected, virtually all are operating again. Advices to the Fuel Admins tration indicate normal conditions throughout the anthracite fields will obtain by Friday morning"

Serbian troops operating with French and Greek detachments. took after a violent assault 45 villages, in- cluding Zovik and Stravina, and the heights of Polchichte and Bechichte. north of the river Gradeshnitza, and the village of Gradeschitza, which was stubbornly defended by the enemy who have orders to hold out at any cost. In the center they progressed on the hill which is situated near Ko- ziak, advanced northeast of Koziak and took a foothold on the hills of huchlov. To the east they crossed the Perez and occupied the massif of To- poles. The booty captured was con- siderable. More than 50 cannon, of which 20 were heavy pieces, fell into our hands. The number of prisoners is increasing increasingly. The Allied aviators dominated completely over the enemy and greatly aided in the battle by attacking enemy troops''
 American troops are engaged in consolidating their new lines across which was wiped out by them lasi week.
 The Germans are strengthening their lines in this sector.
 Now that the objectives of the Americans drive have been reached. the storm center in eastern France may be shifted suddenly This fact when taken into consideration with the successful attack made by thq British and French along the St. Quentin front, shows that Marshal Foch has pinned down large bodie1 of the enemy forces in widely separat, ed parts of the line. The Germanl are forced to heavily man their line, from before Metz clear down through the Lorraine and Vosges sectors while there always very real threat at his vital positions north of Loan. The line from Rheims to Verdun al, ways presents itself as an inviting field for an Allied offensive
 Reports from Moscow are to the effect that the Bolshevik forces are retreating on both the northern and southern fronts. On the north they are being forced back by the Ententt allied units, while the CzechoSiovah armies along the Volga also are ad, vancing. It also is reported that ths Czecho- Slovaks have taken the city of Perm, and seem to be on the verge of uniting the forces which have been fighting in western Siberia with those which have been. engaged in the valley of the Volga river in south eastern Russia. From Perm to Ka. san, where the Czecho-Slova are known to be. is less than 200 miles.
