His victim had no chance to save
himself. Before losing consciousness
he stated that the glare of the fash

Ths shskinsss Of the Wirth-Rosen gov
eminent has brought about a state of
pneasiness in the minds Of members of
the Presidents family which will not
be act at rest until ratihcahons of the
treaty have been exchanged. II is known
this Government was extremely desi-
fous during the negotiations between
Loring Dresel and the German authorl-
ties that nothing should happen to up
set the political equilibrium in Berlin.
Satisfactory progress was assured through

many and the State Department wanted
this state Of things TO continue.
The same desire is evident now on the
part OF American officials. They are
eager to put the final seal upon the
American German agreement News, or
rather lack Of news, from Germany
within the past forty eight hours, has
had diseoura Nng aspects. The fall of
the With Rosen cabinet holds all sorts
OF possibilities which the American Gov
eminent would rather avoid than face.
Above all new government could very
promptly disavow all the cast Of it's pred
scessor, including the treaty with the
United States and might in addition PRE-
sent complications which would make an
understanding between the two countries
virtually impossible.
What might occur IN the event a new
government obtained power already has
been considered, however, and generally
the viewpoint is optimistic. Officials Of
this Government think if the Wirth-
Rosen cabinet is displaced It viii be by
a group of more radical thinkers than
the incumbents. Among this element
there has been only mild opposition to
the resumption of relations with the
United States on any terms. The NUT
terings against the terms made by this
Government have come from thu junker
class and cid conservatives whose chances
Of obtaining power are negligible.
It Is the feeling in Washington, never
theless. that the completion Of the Ger
man treaty situation is s thing much to
be desired ard one in which the Senate
can render invaluable assistance through
speedy action.-COpyright 1921, by Pub

Sheriff Chain verified reports that an

make public the reports received by him.
1t is understood unofficially they were
disquietng and that it was partly upon
the basis OF such reports that another
urgent call was sent to Washington for
Federal troops.
1t was learned that copies Of the
Presidents proclams ton calling upon
the miners to dispense have been posted
throughout the sections occupied BY
them. Definite news in regard to thu

dents command IS lacking. except for
that concerning the mission Of Colonel

when news was received here Of the

miners were killed and many were
wounded.
Firing in the Crooked Creek section was
intermittent all day with scouts and
snipers blazing at each other in the

Mil Creek or Beech Greek sections. 1t is
said large forces Of miners are gathered
at both those points. The defending
forces are not over strong at either of
those points. American Legion men are
in the line in all sectors and according
to adyiceS received at headquarters have
had the effect of heartening the volun-

the following statement tonight summin g
up tho days Developments and the gen.
eral situation;
"There has been more or less con-
tinuous firing on + ur points of the
line today. Those points are Beech
Greek, Blair, Crooked Creek, and
Mil Creek.
Logan County's defenders lost
three men, according to our, reports.
One Of the dead is John Gore, a
deputy sheriff and a resident OF
Logan for twelve years. We have re-
ceived no information as to the num-
Der killed in the Reds forces; we
know one miner was shot while snip
ing at our men.
1.-THE most serious fighting was re-
ported from Blair. At all points our
forces were successful in regaIning
lost territory. The Reds advanced
one mile in the Blair sector, but we're
driven back. They were driven back
one mile in the Beech Greek sector
and one mile along the Hewitts Creek.
They made an advance Of two miles
In the Pecks Hill Sector, but we re-
gained that territory.
1--WE have twelve hundred men IN
the field and expect achievements
from Bluefield, Welch, Williamson
and other points. l have heard
nothing Of the fate Of the deputies
held as prisoners but fear for them
That is all l can report Mt this
time"
