SITUATION IS VERY GRAVE
Relationship between United States
and Germany Reach Straining
Point Because Of Attack.

Washington-The relations between
the United States and Germany have
now reached so acute a stage that it
is extremely doubtful that the Ameri-
can people will stand for any further
parleying with the German govern
ment over PREPARATION for the loss Of
more than 100 American lives on the
Lusitania and the demands of this
government for the safety of Ameri-
can lives on the sea. This is the feel
ing here.
Some of the more apprehensive of
ficials here are hoping that Germany
will disavow the attack ON the Or
duna. Coming at a time when the
relations between the two countries
were so delicate, it was pointed out,
it could have only one effect on the
American people.
In view of his previous notes to Ger
many, President Wilson would have
had no alternative but to recall Am.
bassador Gerard at once, officials be-
lieve, if the attack on the Orduna had
been successful. 1t would have con
stituted an u~nmistakable answer tc
our demands in the Lusitania case,
they say, and would have brought dip
lomatic negotiations TO an abrupt con.
clusion.
The attack on the Orduna is even
| graver than that on the L~usitania, in
the opinion Of officials, as it leaves
the German government no excuse of
military necessity, such as was offered
in the former case. The Orduna was
bound for an American port

OWNERS AND MINERS IN SOUTH
WALES HAVE REACHED AN
AGREEMENT.
NAvY'S FUEL THREATENED
Terms Agreed on Practically concede
Everything Claimed by Workers.
British Public and Press
Are Relieved.

Cardiff. - Government representa-
tfves, mine owners and miners reached
An agreement here July 20 which. it
= believed, will end the great South
Wales coal strike, which has men
aced the navy's fuel supply. The
agreement is subject to ratification
by the miners through delegates.
The terms arrived at grant a sub
stantial wage increase and involve
concessions which strike leaders CON
slider as tantamount to an admission
OF nearly all the miners claims.
The chief cause of the miners un-
rest was what they considered the ex-
cessiye profits mine owners were max
ing in the sale of their coal at war
p~rices-profits in which they were not
sharing. They also deeply resented
enforced arbitration as authorized by
the application of the munitions act
TO coal miners. Though 1t is now a
law, this measure was not actually in
soked against the miners and no men
tion is made Of its future scope in the
proposed settlement.
The hopeful urn OF affairs has been
received with a sigh of relief all over
Great Britain, for the humiliation of
the public that a strike should have
taken place at such a time was keen.
This humiliation was reflected in the
press and there was growing talk OF
the government taking over the mines.

AMERICANS WERE ABOARD
Twenty.One United States Citizens
Were on Cunarder Orduna, At
tackled by German Submarine.

New York.-The Cunard liner Or
duna, from Liverpool to New York.
with 227 passengers, including twen-
tyrone Americans. was attacked with
out warning. 1t was learned on her ar
rival here on July II, by a German
submarine on the morning Of July 9.
Twenty miles from the graveyard OF
the Lusitania off Old Head Of Kinsale
the Orduna escaped the Lusitanias
fate by one-half a second OF time o.
ten feet of space. the German torpedo
churning the water that distance be-
hind the liners rudder. Then the Or
duna sped away. She was followed by
the submarine, which rose to the sur
face. manned a gun and shelled the
fleeing steamer.
The attack was planned at ten min
utes to 6 o'clock in the morning. when
all but a few of her passengers were
asleep. Aroused by stewards, the pas
sengers dressed hurriedly and went to
the upper deck, where they donned
life belts and took their places at the
life boats. They heard the scream OF
the shells and saw the ocean spit up
columns of water where the shells
struck. When the fire grew hot they
were ordered, for their own protection,
to the next deck below.
For half an hour the Orduna showed
her heels to the ~assailant. Through
marine glasses the passengers watch
ed the low-lying German warship COM
ing on with a bone in her teeth, but
the Orduna's flight was faster than the
pursuit. and after seven shots had
been fired, without effect, the subma-
rine gave up the chase.
Protest will be made to the Ameri-
can government by at least one citi'
zen of the United States, and possibly
others, who were aboard. William o.
Thompson. of Chicago, counsel to the
Federal Industrial Relations Commits
sion, who went aboard in his official
capacity last March and was return
ing to make his report, is the passen-
ger who said that he would make Wig
orous protest to his government.
