How Many Kinds
Of Coal Are There?
That is a very hard question to answer.
We have a list in our office of more than >OO
mines and eollieries in Pennsylvania.
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.
In order to keep a big variety of kinds we have
two large yards in this city.

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.
