GERMANS PREPARE
FOR VIE RETREAT
London, Sept. S.AIHed aviators
have reported tha Oermans as pre
paring for another "strategic
treat." They are clearing western
Pleader east of Ypres and Dtxi
mund a far aa the line between
Courtraia and Thourout.
The retreat ia expected to release
125 mile of Belgian territory. Mill
tary experts believe that the Ger
mans are preparing to open dykea
and canals flooding the entire ter
rllory with water. Many of the
trenches along the battle lines of
thlt area are below tea level and
would be flooded.
It will be remembered that Just
before the first German "strategic
retreat," they devastated the terrl
ory which they were vacating so
that it would contain nothing of
military value to the allied army
when they moved forward to occupy
the tame. " ""
A dispatch to the Haves agency
from Haxebrotick says:
"Western Flandor I being evac
uated a far at ths line of Courtrai
Thourout (this line running to the
east respectively of Ypres and Dlx
mtide.) It 1 learned today that
many refugees are being cared for
at Ghent, large numbers of them ar
riving from Rouler (northeast of
Yprea) whloh the Britten are bom

unable to agree on a way to settle
here, and the building trades conn
ell, with, which the painters are af
filiated, are preparing to call a gen
eral strike.
Butte's labor troubles have no
promise of an early settlement. The
. striking , Metal (Mine Workers'
! union's officials believe that the com-
nanles will keep the mines shut
down for at least two months, un
less the government takes a -hand In
the situation, Others say that the
mines will not open for two months
Horses, mules and machinery have
been brought up from the mines.
The fact that the government la
planning to fix the price of copper
at 20 to 22 cents has complicated
the situation. With copper at 20
cents the men would get $4.50
day under the wage schedule re-
wntly -by the Anaconda com
pany. With copper at 81 to 23
centa, the men would get $4.74

before tha shutdown. The striking
