TURKEY FOLLOWS AUSTRIA

In Protest Against Americas Ship

Washington. July l5.-It is probable
that within another fortnight the Tn
tied States will send reply to the
note recently received from the Aus
tro-Huugaran government, which con
tended that the extensive shipments
Of war supplies from this country to
the allies was mot in consonance
with the deination OF neutrality
Unofficial word came TO the capital
today that Turkey would follow Aus
tria in making representations on
this subject, and should note from
the Ottoman government arrive 1t IS
probable that the United States would
simultaneously inform the Germanic
allies of the unalterable view OF this
government with regard to the right
Of neutrals to trade in war materials.

ives In the Austrian note, extracts
of which have appeared in dispatches
from Amsterdam, this idea is deyel
oped almost entirely to the exclusion
of the legal question involved. 1t

ment would be entitled TO prohibit
the export of war material if the
trade in contraband takes the form
OF dimensions whereby the neutrality
of the country will be endangered"
Details of the American answer
have not been diyulged, but il is un-
derstood that the United States viii
not only cite its rights under intena
tonT law, but will recall precedents
in previous wars in which Germany
and Austria have been interested
where importation of arms were car
ricd on in extensive prportions.

Counter Attacks By French Have
Been Without Decisive Result
FRENCH HAVE LOST MANY MEN
Recent Operations Have Melted Ger
mans More Than $500
Prisoners.

London, July 15--While the day
along the western front is charater-
ized in tonight's Paris report as com
paratively calm and the fighting in
the Argonne has dropped OFF consider
able, the ground recently won there
by the Germans appears to still rest
in German hands, in spite of the
heavy counter-attacks by the French,
According to the Berlin account this
attempt to win back the lost trench
es was carried out by a large force
with an abundant use of ammunition,
and its failure is said to have cost
the French a large number of men.
The Argonne operation has netted
the Germans more than $500 prison
ers.
The Paris bulletin of this after
noon is contradictory in SO far as it
fails to mention the counter-attack,
but it comedies that the Germans
regained footing" in the Beaurain
woods to the west of the forest prop
e..
The struggle in the Argonne today
consisted of some close fighting and
two German attacks, which Paris
says were repulsed. The recent Ger
man success, Berlin remarks, is the
more striking, AS it was the intention
of the Franch to carry out an attack

100000 MINERS STRIKE
Welsh Coal Miners Tie Up Industry
Despite British Needs.

London, Friday, July 16-A tele-
gram from Cardiff to The Daily
Chronicle says:
rThe whole of the Welsh coal field
is idle today, and the special confer
ence of the miners representatives
has rejected by large majority the
proposal to work pending the resump-
ton of negotiations with the e.nploy-
ers through the Board of Trade.
"On a show of hands the Executive
Committees recommendation to re-
turn to work was rejected by $50 to
ll3, and a card vote which was then
demanded, also resulted in the rejec.
ton of the proposal to return to
work Those voting for the strike
represented S9.95O men, those voting
against it 1880 men
This means that the strike is to
continue indefinitely. and 100000
men and boys in the Welsh coal
fields will be standing idle at a time
when the country is at death grips
with a powerful and relentless foe
THE decision today was taken in
the teeth of advice from the Miners
Federation of Great Britain and from
the Executive of the South Wales
Miners Federation, in defiance of the
explicit undertaking given to the
Government in most solemn terms
that there should be no strike during
the period the war lasted. and in de-
fance of the proclamation of the
King on the advice of his Ministers.
Nothing more could be done to in
crease the absolutely criminal action
of the Welsh miners.

Stoppage Caused Considerable
Damage IN Nearby Cellars
WAS BUILT MANY YEARS AGO
Break Revives Controversy Relating
to Original Course of WaIIoom-
sac River.

The excavation on North street
made necessary by the collapse of
the stone archway under the highway
had reached stage this morning
that released the water in the cellar
under the Quinlan drug store.
The breaking of the arch and the
plugging Of the water way has reyiy-
ed the ancient controversy over the
real course of the Walioomsac river
through the village.
The archway was put in more than
so years ago by the late Enos Adams
who owned certain power rights on
the stream Ii was built of broken
limestone and at the time was con-
sidered a remarkable piece of work
in that no mortar was used and the
stone was laid in the form of an arch
1t is probable that the building of
the new highway on the street was
the finishing stroke in the break and
the constant backing of water into
adjoining cellars. The arch had prob
ably been disturbed for years to
considerable extent by the laying of
water mains, gas mains and the tel
ephone tube and the pressure exerted
by the steam roller may have been
just enough to finally displace the
stone.
When it was learned that the wat
erway was obstructed the village au-
thoTities concluded that the proper
course to take was to repair the dam
age as quickly as possible and take
up the matter OF responsibility after
the condition was remedied.
Street Commissioner Buss was in
structed to put on gang of men and
remedy things as quickly as possible.
He has made excellent progress with
the work and the concreting of the
corrugated tubes which will take the
place of the stone arch will begin to
day
Persons who are acquainted with
conditions claim that much of the
good sized stream that is flowing
across the street is seepage water
from underground springs. The ex-
cavation has revealed a condition
that would strongly Indicate that
good-sized river at one time crossed
the street in that locality.

Ernest Gusbey Loses Life While
Swimming Otter Creek
OMMITTEO FROM ST. ALBANS
Companion in Attempted Escape
Tries in Vain TO Save Life of
Comrade.

Vergennes, July 15-Ernest Bush
ey, ii years old, an inmate of the
state Industrial school, was drowned
in Otter Creek this morning while at

tion in company with Robert Donald,
also an inmate of the school. Bushey

cause a girl of his own age refused
to marry him. Donald, several years
Busheys senior has made several at
tempts to escape from the institution.
Both boys were inmates of the In
gals cottage, and it was while they
were supposed to be preparing their
summer school lesson at the cottage
that they made their escape through
back door. Each carried a coal hod
obviously to make any witness think
they were performing merely routine
duties. When they reached the
wharf, they left their hods and pro
ceded some distance down the river.
According to Donald, the boys en-.
tered the water at the same time, and
started to swim across Donald sue,
ceeded in reaching the opposite
shore When he turned to look for
his companion he saw the latter
struggling in the water near the mid
die of The stream. Donald swan back
TO Btshey and tried to help
him to shore. The young lad
became confused and threw
his arms around Donald, with
the result that the would-be rescuer
had to leave him. After Bushey sank
for the last time Donald dived unsuc-
cessmlly several times in an effort
to locate him.
