FROM WEDNESDAYS DAILY
London, Sopf. 9—'The new;
from the continent today is
very satisfactory. The A!liev
are gaining ground everywhere,
in several places having force 1
the German line back over ten
miles. The successes are the
most marked in the neighbor
hood of Rheinis from svhrcii
place the Germans were drive i
in disorder by the French and
English after a fight lasting
Several hours. In the retreat
following hundreds of men
were captured by the French
cavalry and dozens of machine
and field guns were taken. The
main body of the Germas has
been forced across the River
Marne, where they are now
throwing up hasty breastworks
in the attempt to stem the rush
of ehe Allies. Their situation is
most precarious, as the heavy
rains of the 1' -e week have
made the country east of the
Marne a veritable bog. and
they are unable to move their
artillery. The situation re
solves itself into a race be
tween a mixed force of about
a quarter of a million Russians
and British, and the reinforce
ments for the Germans under
General Von Buelow. The Brit
ish at Mons and the Belgians
from Antwerp have cut the Ger
man line of communication,
and it is believed that the right
wing of the German army is
threatened with starvation and
a shortage of ammunition. The
two French Generals. Joffre
and Pau are massing every avail
able man, and a decisive battle
will he fought within a day or
two. In the event of the arriv
al of the Allied troops frxm
Ostend ahead of the German re
serve, the right wing of the in
vaders will he completely out
numbered and probably forced
tc surrender or accept battle at
a decided disadvantage. They
are hemmed in now. and every
hour add- to the gravity of the
situation.

Paris. Sept. 9—The gloom
that has been omnipresent in
this city for the past couple of
weeks was dissipated last night

is not known how’ many men
were engaged in the fighting

of the hardest fought engage
ments of the war.

It is more than probable that
the government could recover
the expense of opening lha
Matanuska coal fields before
the close of the present war if
it opened them at once. Brit
ish ships and others that have
been engaged in the work of
hauling coal from various parts
of the earth cannot travel now
so freely. Thousands and thou
>ands of men who had been en
gaged in digging coal are now
engaged in war. American
-hips are free Vo enter any port
in the world and could make
markets for American coal as
they are going to make markets
fur other American commod
ities. The great navies of th?
powers will use tremendous
quantities of coal and the price
is sure to go very high should
the great war last a few months
and the chances are that it will
la-t for years as neither of the
nations engaged can quit with
out stepping out of the class of
ruling powers. Before the
coming winter the government
r mid have the nation secured
from the Jack of coal if it only
went to work. Is it possible to
bring this home to the minds
of the people of Washington. If
iT is it -urely should he done.

Discovery of a rich strike on
Canyon creek, a little stream
that empties in Ilealy lake, on
the Healy river, has caused a
wild stampede to that place,
and men in automobiles, on
foot, and in every way imagin
able are leaving for the new

cause for a stampede is ques

conservative members of the
city, but just the same the
s'tampeders started for the place
last night and many others
will be on the way this morn

What caused the rush for the
new place was ,a 'letter received
by Capt. John Morgan, of the
steamer White Seal, from his
mining partner, Herman Ham

tetter stales that the pay runs
as much as from 15 to 25 cents
