Glovno Is lf miles northeast of

It Is ttcml-offlclally announced
that the Germans have received rein
forcements In the shape of two In
fantry divisions and one cavalry di

Tlio occupation of Glovno, liyolvay
and Hobota straightens and strength
ens the Russian right wing, which is
already zadl to have widely out
flanked the German left, bringing
tho Russian right from 20 to 25
miles1 In Its advance on Strykow,
where a battle now Is raging, and
puts the German center under an at
tack from Glovno and l.odz.
Military experts nrc of tho opinion
that tho German position around
Lodz today is far more critical than
it was during tho Initial reverses
around Warsaw a month ago. They
point out that the German army Is
100 miles from Thorn, Its base, and
tho fact that the occupation of its
present position was so precipitate
that the lino of ictreat was not well
organized.
Kaiser's Forces llamllcupped
Military observers also maintain
that Germans will bo greatly handi
capped by tho withdrawal even
should they oxecuto tho movement In

Tho extent ot the Russian advance

Rejection of Mediation hy Owners
Withdrawal of Troops Doubtful.
WASHINGTON, Nov. .10. Another
effort at itcttloment of the Colorado
coal Mrlko troubles moved forward
today with President Wilson's ap
pointment of a commtgfllon to attempt
to bring the operators and miners tc
gcther.
Tho contmlfislon Is composed ot
Soth Low of Now York, Charles W.
Mills, of Philadelphia, and Patrick
Cllday of Clear Field, Pa. All ot
them liavo been prominently Identi
fied with the settlement of labor
troubles.
Settle I'utun; Disputes
The commission will not deal with
tho present differences between tho
operators nnd minors, but will at
tempt to settlo similar disputes In
tho future. Efforts to bring about
a settlement of the present strike by
agreement between tho operators and
miners, it Is announced will bo con
tlnued by the federal mediators, who
have been endeavoring for some tlmo
to adjust the controversy. They aro
Hywol Davles and W. R. Falrloy.
Tho president. In a statement an
nouncing the appointment ot the
commission, reviews In detail the
various steps taken by tho federal
government to bring about a settle-'
ment of the present trouble. Ho
then expresses tho hope that the
parties to tho controversy will make
use of the commission as an Instru
ment of peace to prevent a repetition
ot similar troubles In the future.
Comment on Situation
President "Wilson's plan for a
temporal-' settlement ot the strike
which bo suggested some tlmo ago
contemplated appointment ot a com
mission similar to ono he has Just
named. The plan was accepted Cy
tho miners, but rejected by tho oper
ators, their principal objection being
to a commission. In referring to tho
rejection of tho plan, tho president In
his statement says:
"I think tho country regretted
their decision and was disappointed
that they should havo taken so un
compromising a position. I havo
waited and hoped tor a chango In
their attitude, but now fear that thoro
will be nono. And yet I do not feel
that I am at liberty to do nothing
in tho presence ot circumstances so
serious and distressing. Merely to
withdraw tho federal troops and
leave tho situation to clear Itself
would seem to mo to be doing some,
thing less than my duty after all that
has occurred."
