Some mines produce a very hard coal, others a soft fracture coal and then there are many varieties between the very hard and the very soft kind. We have eone into the coal business very thor oughly and we have scle -ted the kinds that we know will jive the best results in this vicinity.

Again Battling With Gallantry BRITISH FLEET TO THE RESCUE r Engages in Bnsk Cannouade Against the Massed German Columns Which Are Trying to Break Down the as sistance of the Allies From the Battle Front, via Pirns. I Oct. 19, 11.56 P. M.—'King Albert's iWpsn ariuv whose stamina seems un affected by the privations it has under gone again fought with the greater gallantry to-day alongside the British and French alties near thePeigian coast' V new element WHS introduced in the conflict when the British fieec made its P'ssfft known bv a brisk cannonade of massed German columns which are trying to breai down the allies' resist a nee. The lighting was very severe along the river Yser, where rtie Germans so ijjh t to gain control ot' the forts without success. Further south at I«<> Bassee. the struggle which has been In progress several days developed into a house-to house combat. (Both sides dis ,l»yei the greatest determination and in many cases bayonet duels progressed from one floor to another until the Ger maus were eventually overcome. Gentian Machine Guns Destroyed A'l along the I,a Bassee canal the two op-posing force# were stiffly engaged throughout the day. Good railroad con nections meet here leading to various centers and the series of coa' mines about Lille which the Germans in many instances damaged or destroy ed. In the vicinity of Gemelles, near I*l "Hassee. a Fren. J n " inch battery dp strovod fifteen German machine gun« with a ra in of shell. The allies made a slight aiivmace iu the neighborhood of Arras and Roy v. where for ten days a hard battle had gone on and is still unfinished. Very little has been seen of the German in fantry in this locality recently but their artillery is extremely active in trenches behind complicated barber wire entang'enients. Heavy Fighting Along the Meuse On the eastern wing, along the; Meuse, heavy fighting is incessant and j in this fhe F-ench artil'ery « playing j a most important part. The concentrat ed fire of several French b.-wteries at! St. Mihlel Monday destroyed a com- ; plete battery of (heavy German artil- j iery which had been causing great an- j nova nee. It was due to the clever work of a French ar;iliery man that this was ac eompli?ned. Carrying a portable field telephone he hid himself for two days near the German position and informed h s comrades in his rear of the positions of the German guns and the direction in ■ which they should fire. TSiis informs-1 tion rendered the German position un tenable and wiien his work was done the brave gunner returned safe!;, to the; French lines. Scenes Behind Battle Lines The scenes behind tiie battle bines j denote the characteristics of the vari ous nations engaged. The French sol diers se very gay. singing when they return from rne trenches and always seek to 'earn the news from any new arr val from the rear. They gather b-an 'aes bjahes to make fires on wa.eh they boil their soup and coffee. The Beljians are somewhat the ssnie : n character, but the recent damage to s-j many cities of Belgium has rendered :htm -athe- gloomy, though tbey are st• H t'ull of figh: arrd si-e of eventual victory. British Beady for Any Game The British appear to be ready to se. :e the slightest opportunity to play some game when oft actual duty. They are always -leanlv shaven and love to plunge into a ereek or river. Behind' their trenches are man- kneading troughs ca : tired from the German com nvs-iari.tt and now turned into tubes. The Indian troops maintain a calm riler.ee eicep: when in action. Then t%ev utter wi'.d ,-ries in their eastern ianettages as they enter the fiaht. The (Moroccan auxiliaries known as "goumiers'' maintain all their African habits. They apparently are always rendy to rest apywhere that the- may find themselves but sleep wyh the bridge ove- their arms aud spring into action at fhe sllg'btesrt movement or ncise.
