REDS IN PURSUIT
 OF GEN. DENIK|NE
Red Attack on North Rus sian Front Is Expected.
 Let's Cease Fighting
By Assoeiatsd Press

London, February 12.-The pursuit by the bolsheviki of the remnants of General Denikine's forces into the Crimea; the launching of an expected rcd attack on the North Russian front in the Dvina sector and the conclu- sion of the Lettish operations against the reds are pointed to by the military observers as the most salient develop ments of the past weeks operations in Russia as reported to the war office here.
 On the western sector of the south Russian front the resistance of the volunteers against the bolsheviki ap- pears entirely to have collapsed with the red occupation of odessa. The reds now are pushing toward the Dniester along a front of 120 miles.
 The reports show that the bolsheviki suffered disaster in their attempts to force the lines of the Don and Manitch
 rivers, having lost heavily in men killed or made prisoner The reds, however, are making rapid progress In the Steppes region, probably attracted by the possibility of occupying Sebas- l in the Crimea, and seizing the Petrovsk railroad.
 The taking of this line would con- stitute a serious threat to the anti ibolshevik communications with the volunteer fleet in the Caspian sea, which has it's base at Petrovsk.
 The British detachment is withdraw ing from Baum to Constantinople. The advises do not state whether the situation at Baum, which recently had been regarded as threatening, had i'm proved, warranting the withdrawal of the British, or if it had grown worse and the British were compelled to with 1 draw.
 There have been no operations of great moment on the Polish front. l Following the virtual dissolution | of Admiral Kolchaks armies in Siberia 1 Vladivistox did not resist occupation 1 by the rebels.
 l Authority there has been taken over I by the Provincial Zemstvo.
 The city is reported quiet.

attention of operators of industrial plants. In recent years safety devices have been employed and safety instructions given with very satisfactory results by large number of industrial concerns.
 In the coal mines of the Birmingham district accidents have been materially reduced in the last few years through the efforts of the Alabama Safety Assocla- ton. officered and conducted principally bv men in the coal mining industry ln the district The reports of the chief state mine inspector bear witness to the benetl- cial effects of the work of this assocla- ton.
 The percentage of accidents at the coal mines in the district, admittedly hazard ous occupation, has largely decreased Tn the last decade and is decreasing each year. Many of the accidents, the greater per cent, according to statistics, are pre- ventable by the use of reasonable care. Statistics prepared by one of the larg- est corporations in the United tates, en- ploying tens of thousands of men, show that about 45 per cent of the accidents oc- curing within certain year at the va rious plants of that company were deslg- mated as hand labor accidents; that IS, the injuries were sustained by persons per- forming hand work, and in no way con-
 nected with machinery and of the q
 third were due to falling timber.
 In the report of this investigation 1t was
 stated that the conditions under which
 these accidents occurred were wholly
 within the control of the Workmen and
 due to- carelessness or thoughtlessness.
 This investigation was not confined to
 mining operations, but covered almost
 every line of industry, mining. n1anufac-
 turing and railroading.
 Of approximately 26,000 men em-
 ployed in and about the coal mines in the
 Birmingham district last year less than
 100 were fatally injured, and about
 twenty-five of these resulted from a cloudburst that flooded mine while the men were at work.
 What has been accomplished ln safety first instructions at the coal mines can be accomplished at mills, factories foun- N dries. furnaces and other industrial estab- Il lshments Under the direction of the Ala. N bama Safety Association safety first and
 first aid instructions are given at the Il plants of all members Teams are organ Il ized at the various plants, made up of men II who have been carefully taught in this Il work and who are competent to pass upon Il conditions of employment and devices. | Every employer of labor in this district Il would find it to his interest and his finan- I cial profit to associate himself with the as II sociation and thereby extend it's useful Il ness.
