Big Earnings of Miners Attract Men From All Occupations

HOPKINSVTLLE, Ky.. Nov.' 24. Mines in tie coal fields of Western Kentucky are more fully supplied with labor, are getting a better car supply and are producing more coal than ever before in the history of this district.' The first of these conditions is due to the fact that wages are now being paid that in normal times were unheard of; and which even at thi3 time loom large. ' So greatly have miners earnings grown, that men have been drawn from other occupation all over this section and from cities and towns in other states. The high wages, although bringing more men to the mine had not exerted their full effect until recently when the penalty clause which the Federal Fuel Administration insisted be incorporated in miners contracts, became effective. Previously men were able to earn, such large wages, that they were satisfied to work only three days each week and to remain idle the rest of the time. Now the miner must work not less than five days each week or pay a penalty for each day that he fails to work. An illustration of what wages men about the mines are now being paid

is given by the following rates of pay quoted in an advertisement recently published in several newspapers in

BRITISH ARMY HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, Thursday, Nov. 22. (By The Associated Press.) The Buccess of the British ,arms in the Cambral sector has continued to grow steadily and Field Marshal Haig's troops In a little more than two days' fighting have overrun an area equal In size to that won by the Germans during the first fifteen days of their spectacular drive on Verdun.

British cavalry, tanks and infantry today were battling their way forward

clong a line which at many points

west and southwest of Cambrai was

less than three miles from that im

portant town. The advance also was spreading northward in the region of Bullecourt, and the salient toward Cambrai was being widened. The total of prisoners captured must approach the 9,000 mark. Fiercest Hand Fighting. At last the British and Germans are at grips on comparatively open ground and some of the fiercest hand, fighting cf the war has been going on. The enemy troops were unprepared for the attack but they have been putting every ounce of their strength into an attempt to stem the rising tide. Troops have been pulled away from other points and rushed to the Cambrai sector by the desperate Germans, and so hard pressed were they for men that two companies of cripples and convalescents were recruited hastily at one camp and thrown into the line in the region of Matfherires. Some of these prisoners are in British hospitals and are receiving medical treatment. One prisoner is in the last stages of tuberculosis and he had to be moved to prevent the disease from spreading to the others, who were in a state of cruel exhaustion and virtually helpless from their valiant attempts to fight under the lash of their unrelenting officers. The great battle field has taken on the aspects of scenes in wars gone by.

It is no longer a conflict of trenches and shell holes, but of men struggling

Old men and women were bringing away all the household effects they could pack on pushcarts or carry on their backs. For three years they had been in captivity and some of them in slavery. They had been subsisting on the bounty of the American relief committee which furnished them virtually the only food they obtained. Had Hidden Three Years Among the most interesting of the refugees was a man of military age who had hidden in a cellar for three years to escape the Germans and had been fed by his wife with an extra ration of food allowed her because she had a baby. This man is 35 years old and In the ordinary course would have been arrested and sent to a prison camp as soon as the Germans entered the town. He did not want to leave his wife and baby so hid in a secret place in the cellar, thereby making himself liable to the death penalty if detected. German officers came to live In his house and daily he heard them tramping about above him. In accordance with the custom, this house and all others were searched every little while to see if any one was concealed, but the Germans never disepvered his hiding place. . Each day while the officers were away his wife smuggled his little store of food and water to him. When the British entered the town the wife after making sure that they were indeed British, went home and brought out her husband, who had bis first glimpse of the outside world since
