KENTUCKY These six states, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Illinois, Ohio, Ken- tucky and Indiana, are the big soft coal states of the union, producing about 75 per¢ceut of all bituminous coal mined in the United States. It is expected that they will mine this year between 275 and 400 millions of tons, as against from 550 to 575 mil- lions of tons in the whole country. Pennsylvania leads with a normal production of about 16,000,000 tons; West Virginia, 80,000,000; Illinois, 60,- 000,000; Ohio 24,000,009; Kentucky, 22,000,000, and Indiana, 18,000,000.

Brennan Presides. Daniel V. Erennan, assistant attor- ney general, was toastmaster and pre- sided over that honored position with splendid diplomacy. Mr. Brennan first introduced George V. Cunningham, past state deputy, who spoke on “Our Council.” He explained interestingly the work of the council in the great war and urged upon the members to contribute to the Knights of Colum- bus fund of $3,000,000 which will go to carry on the work of the Catholic church at the various cantonments and at the front, where already 400,- 000 Catholics, 40 per cent of all the fighting men, have enlisted. Coyle Proves Witty. J. J. Coyle of ‘Minot toasted “The Visiting Knight,” punctuating it with many witticisms on Ireland and the Irish. C. F.

AAG STARTS FRESH DRIVE FAST OF YPRES Allied Infantry Moves Forward on Extreme Northern end of Active Line GERMAN REACTIONS ARE EXTREMELY PERSISTENT Entente Operation Aimed at Bring- ing Left Flank into Better Position NO PEACE IN SIGHT. London, Oct.. 22. — “I have scanned the horizon intensely,” said Premier Lloyd George today, “and can see no terms in sight which will lead to enduring peace. The only terms now possible would mean an armed truce end- ing in an evén more frightful struggle.” Mr. Lloyd George said Germany would make peace now only on terms which would enable her to benefit by the war. He asserted that would be an encouragement. to every buccaneering empire in the future to repeat the experi- ments. More than twice as many Ger- | man submarines were lost in the first 10 month of this year as in all of last year, the premier as- serted, and the British tonnage lost monthly now is not much more than one-third of the ton- nage destroyed last April.

The Brit- ish attack was on a wider front, ex- tending to Poelcappele and possibly taking in the area of that town, which has been the scene of some desperate fighting within the last few weeks. The German reactions were ex- tremely persistent;here.

The night of the fire, which completely destroyed Beauchamp’s store with all of its con- tents, he had through an oversight, he claimed, left outside the safe a ledger containing a record of his pur- chases, and this record was destroyed. The insurance adjuster discovered this fact, but nevertheless attempted to adjust Beauchamp’s loss on a basis of $4,204.62. Beauchamp claimed a total loss of $12,000, and filed suit to recover the full amount of both of , his policies, $6,000 in all.
