Military movements on the other
war fronts are dwarfed in importance

theless, considerable activity on the
Aisne and Verdun fronts in northern
France, where the Germans are con
tinuing their persistent attacks. Gen
eral I'etain'a forces are holding firm,
however, and all the crown prince's
attempts of last night, including a

Celebrate the Fourth
. Havana, Cuba, July 3. Cuba's new
alliance with the United States in the
war against Germany will be cele
brated in notable fashion here tomor
row night when the American Inde
pendence day will be observed on a
scale which the island republic never
before has experienced. .
In previous years the Fourth of
July celebration in Cuba has been re
stricted in the main to members of
the American colony who have as
sembled usually in the afternoon in
the Tropical Garden in the outskirts
of the city, as they plan to do also to
morrow. . ; , 7
This year, owing to the entrance of
TTuba into the war on the side of the
United States and to, the wave of pop
ular patriotism which followed that
action, notables iir Cuban official and
commercial life will join with mem
bers of the American colony in a
patriotic celebration for the benefit
of the American Red Cross. ' The
ceremonies will be held in the large
Campoamor theater.
President Menocal and members of
his civil and military staff, William E.
Gonzales, the United States minister
and the attaches of the American le
gation, officers of the United States
navy and many Cubans and Ameri
cans of prominence probably will at
tend. The boxes of the theater have
been reserved for members of the
families of distinguished Cubans an4
for the diplomatic corps.

One Death Occurs.
Minneapolis, Minn., July 3. (Spe
cial Telegram.) There was another
battle outside of the Snelling camp
grounds today, when the Blue and
Red armies resumed their struggle
for possession of the reservation. It
was the first taste of fire for most
of the boys, too, as a new lot of stu
dents arc being put through the "bat
tle" practice each time.
Later, however, it is likely there
will be sham battles en masse.
Today's battle went yesterday s
one better, in that the signal and hos
pital corps were brought into action.
Messages of the progress of the bat
tle, orders, etc., were wig-wagged
across the field and the motor ambu
lances dashed into and out of the
lines, agthering up the wounded. '

trial Workers of the World were
charged in a statement issued last
night by Charles H. Moyer, president
of the International Union of Mill,

to shut down the copper mines of
the country.
Mr. Moyer said strikes would be
called by the Metal Mine Workers'
union, a branch of the Industrial
Workers of the World, in Utah coo

the recent succession of strikes ' in
other copper mining sections of the
west anil continued:
"The Industrial Workers of the
World has had no money in its treas
ury. It seems to have plenty of money
now Where it got this money I
cannot fcay. The public may specu
late as to the source of it
"There is no doubt the Industrial
Workers of the World are trying to
put us in a bad light with the Ari
zona operators. If there should be
any violence in Arizona I lay it at
the door of the Industrial Workers
of the World."

THE BEE:
New Machine to Make
Use of the City Dumps
The construction of a plant which
wilt separate refuse of the city into
its component parts is in distant pros
pect for Omaha. J. M. Gillen, indus
trial commissioner of the Commercial
club, is in touch with the inventor of
such a machine in the east He will
take the matter up with the city health
department
According to literature sent out by
the inventor, the city refuse from the
various dump heaps mav be scooped
into the main hopper of the machine
and be separated so that bottles will
come out in one pile, tin cans in an
other, rags and string in another, and
and common dirt in another. Mr. Gil
len has been led to believe there will
be a separate pile even for dead rats,
but he is not certain as to whether
there is a 'rat department or not.
However, he believes that if the ma
chine is anywhere near as efficient as
the description appears to represent
it, it would be of great value in
Omaha, since it would make it possi
ble to separate the refuse on the old
dumps, and make use of the tin solder,
bottles, and many other articles which
have in recent years been found to
have real value when isolated in suf
ficient quantity.

THORNE SAYS COAL
MAXIMUMTOO HIGH
Tentative Prices 50 to 100 Per
Cent Higher Than Prices
Now Prevailing at Many
Mines in Middle West.
Washington, July 3. Clifford
Thome, representing the Iowa
League of Municipalities, told the
senate interstate commerce commit
tee today tliat if tentative coal prices
arranged last week between the oper
ators and the Council of National De
fense became permanent they would
cost consumers $700,000,000 over last
year's soft coal bill.
Should the tentative prices be made
permanent, he said, prices which oper
ators in the Indiana field have been
receiving in the last six months would
be increased over 50 per cent,
Mr. Thome declared the tentative
coal prices are from 50 to 100 per
cent greater than voluntary contracts
entered into within the last three
months between operators and rail
roads for the ensuing year.
"We are protesting against even a
tentative price-fixing agreement," said
Mr. Thorne. He wanted prices fixed
by a government agency.
