WASHINGTON, D. C„ Aug. 14.—
Trie wildest scenes resulted today
when a mob of men and women at
tacked the Suffragette Headquarters
.and after roughly handling the lead
ers, smashed up the offices throwing
furniture and tiles out of the wind
ows and wrecking them completely.
This afternoon a steady stream
of militant suffragettes, some of
whom are said to have already
served jail sentences for charges re
sulting from their picketting the
White House, passed before the
White House and carried banners
which contained among some advo
fating the suffrage, demanding the
right of representation in a demo
cracy, others which are said to be
responsible for the out breast, con
taining th ■ words Kaiser Wilson.
The mob after breaking the line
of pickets moved then to the Suff
ragette headquarters, more than a
block away from tlie Whitt House
and took possession of the situation
there. Some of the women who are
leaders were very severely handled
and are in a bad condition as a re
sult. while the offices are a complete
wreckage, furniture, letters, papers,
files, record hooks, and other sun
dries being thrown out by the mob
bent on venting its fury upon the
women.
The police made little effort to in
terfere until the work of destruction
was completed when the nob was
dispersed.

WAR REPORTS FROM

LONDON, Aug. 14.—Haig reports
that the German artillery is rather
more attive near the Lombart Zyte
sector east of Ppres. Beyond this
there were no activities reported
against the British lines. A further
German offensive is any time ex
pected in this particular sector.

One of the best plays ever sceeu

PARIS, Aug. 14.—The activities

evening, were not repeated this
morning, instead the German ar
tillery has been active in this re

vigor on the Verdun sector.
BERLIN, Aug. 14.—On the east
front the British artillery lias been
active in the Lons sector. On 'lie
Aisne the French were bombarding
the German positions.
German attacks in Champagne
were raids successfully carried out
and the artillery activities in the
Verdun sector on both sides of the
Aleusa indicate a probable renewal
of the infantry attacks in that re

MILITIA FIRE UPON
COAL MINERS STRIKING
LEXINGTON, Ky., Aug. 14.—
While some io the leading opera
tors have conceded the demands ot
the Union men, there are many
small operators who are holding out
and feeling is bitter in the coal
fields.
Efforts upon the part of the fed
eral mediators to bring about a
settlement failed and the situation
today shows almost no hope of an
early settlement, miners holding out
firmly and the operators refusing
to concede any demands.
Today while trouble started fol
lowing an interruption in the efforts
of the strikers to prevent scabs
being employed by picketting the
mine, the militia which has been
hurried to the scene charged the
strikers and killed three of them,
wounding many more.
The action of the militia has great
ly inflamed the situation.
Operators affect to believe that
the militia’s action will result in the
men being cowed into submission
and that they will return to work.
There Is very little sign of this
view materializing this evening and
the general opinion now is that they
are in for a long and protracted
fight in these fields.
