'It might be added that exceDtional- ly powerful y artillery facing each other the heavy Germany artillery against the . French 7.6 centimeter cannons gives a particular value to the temporary fortifications which the two . adversaries hav drawn up. vine task is therefore to take whole rows of entrenchments,- each one protected by close defenses, particular ly rows of barbed wire, with miltrail leuses in concealed positions.

The military Gov ernor ox fans announced today, how ever, that anyone using a temporary pass for leaving Paris to penetrate the lighting zone would be subject without exception to severe penalty. This is a precaution against spies, who appear to be numerous and adroit. A resident of Meubeuse who lias just escaped from that town says that tnat city .during the siege was full of secret German agents.

Views Expressed, to President of Colorado Iron & Fuel Company, "Rockefeller Property" An swer Promised - Later. WASHINGTON. Sept. 23. President w nson today refused to change his at titude toward the Colorado strike situ ation and indicated that the mine op erators must accept the basis of set tlement already agreed to by the min ers or stand responsible before the country for the result. J. F. Wellborn, president of the Col orado Fuel & Iron Company, known as the "Rockefeller property," dis cussed the situation with the President and told him that some of the prln clpal points of the basis of agreement did not meet with the approval of his concern. He proposed another plan' of settle ment, but Mr. Wilson refused to take it up. It was said at the White House to night that the President would stand behind the original plan of settlement, which was drawn by a mine operator and a miner named by Secretary of Labor Wilson. Mr. Wellborn promised to lay the President's views before the other operators and then to send a final answer. President Wilson has expressed dis inclination to allow Federal trops to remain in the Colorado mine district much longer. OPERATORS NAME OBJECTIONS More Than 40 Colorado Companies Refuse Three-Year Truce. DENVER, Sept. 23. Willingness to obey the mining statutes of Colorado and to re-employ such striking coal miners as they think desirable and for whom there is work at the mines, but a refusal to enter into a three-year truce with the United Mineworkers of America, to. re-employ all strikers not convicted of crime or to submit to a final arbitrament of all grievances by a Federal commission were expressed in a letter sent to President Wilson tonight by the operators claiming to produce 70 per cent of the coal of Colo- The letter was a reply to the commu nication In which the President urged the operators to adopt the plan sug gested by Hywel Davies and William R. Falrley, Federal mediators, for end ing the coal miners' strike. It was signed by the Victor-American Fuel Company, the Rocky Mountain Fuel Company, two of the so-called "Big Three," and by 41 smaller concerns. The Colorado Fuel & Iron Company gave its views to tne President in a separate letter, made public last night. The operators expressed doubt -as to the Impartiality of the Federal medi ators. . , The operators objected both to griev ance committees and to the proposed Federal grievance committee. Of this latter proposal the letter said: "The unlimited authority of this pro posed commission of three persons to be appointed by the President of the United States practically puts the en tire control of the most important de partment of our business in its hands. Its power to control the conduct of our business far exceeds any of the de mands of the United Mineworkers of America." Octogenarian, Who Lived on 1Q Cents Daily, Dies.

There is no magic in piano making which enables any manufacturer to turn inferior material, by the help of unskilled workmen, into good instruments. And yet only by the sacrifice of qualtiy in both material and labor can pianos be produced to sell at the figures which are often quoted. The same common sense which governs your buying of other kinds of merchandise should rule in the.selection of a piano. There is a price limit below which you cannot go without paying too much for what you receive. There are pianos offered at lower figures than ours, but when we say that for every dollar you invest in one of our instruments you get a dollar's worth of piano value we state a fact which you can prove by a visit to our sales room.
