ENGLISH COAL MINERS
STRIKE In HOUR OF NEED
As Coal Supply is Threatened Ad-
miralty acquisitions All
Available Coal.

Except for two small collieries,
employing about eight Hundred mon,
all South Wales coal mines, from
which comes coal for tie English
navy, were idle Thursday, and min
ers, although the English govern
ment has brought the industry under
the munitions of war act, decided not
to accept recommendations to con-
tinue work day by day until an ar
rangement could be continued. This
action was taken despite entreaties
of labor leaders.
Delegates voting for the strike rep
resented $3.50 men, and those
against the strike 1880. General
business on the Cardiff Coal exchange
has ceased, owing to the government
requisition for the adn,il atty of all
available coal supplies, while ship
ping and the railways, which depend
on the mines, also had little to do.
There is general impression, how
ever, that the strike will not last
long. but that the men, after a short
holiday, perhaps over the weekend,
will return to work.
The strike has been forced by the
men Of the Aberdare Valley, who are
strong syndicatists end have declar-
ed that the present was a good time
to force the government to take over
the mines

RUSSIANS SINK SUBMARINE
Report From London Says Famous
U-51 Was DESTROYED.

London Friday reported that the
German submarine U-h1 has been
sunk in the Black Sea by Russian
warships, according to information
received from Varna, a Bulgarian
port on the Black Sea by the Athens
correspondent of the Exchange Tele-
graph company.
The U-51 gained me by eluding
the British blockade and passing
through Gibraltar on it's way from
Wilhelmshaven, the great German
base, to operate against the allied
fleet in the Dardanelles. 1t has been
credited with sinking several vessels
belonging to the allies, including the
British battleship Majestic.
Later the submersible passed
through the Sea of Marmora and re-
ported to the German commander at
Constantinople. If the report of her
destruction in the Black Sea Is true
she evidently was returning from the
Turkish cape through the Bosporus
probably to operate against the Rus
sian Black Sea fleet

OFFER LAND TO ROUMANIA
Makes Concessions in Effort
to Win Aid.

Germany and tria-Hungary, ac-
cording to dispatches from the Bal
Kan states, are using every diplo-
matte resource to induce RoumanIa
to join military forces with the CEN
trail powers or at least to preserve an
attitude OF permanent friendly neu-
trality. 1t is reported that the Aus
tro-Hungarian minister at Bucharest
has offered the Roumanian govern
ment liberal territorial compensation
for armed assistance, countering
Russia's offer of Pennsylvania with
that OF Bessarabia.
Her reward for friendly neutrality
is said to be Bukowina as far as the
River Pruth. From Austrian sources
comes report that Russia is giving
substantial proof of the possibility OF
Roumania accepting one of these
Teutonic offers by building trenches
and entanglements along her Rou-
manian frontier. Bulgaria and Tur-
key are said to have reached a dead
lock in their negotiations on account
of the refusal OF Sofia to do more
than preserve q. friendly neutrality in
return for territorial compensations
from Constantinople.

AUSTRIA OFFERS CONCESSIONS
FOR ROUMANIAN SUPPORT
TeutOnic Empires Forcing Balkan
States to Announce Def
mite Decision.

Berlin sends out :. dispatch We'd
nesday saying that in reply to the de-
mands made upon Roumania by Aus
trla the Rumanian go ,rnment has
demanded the cessation of certain
territory now forming part of the
Austro-HungGrian empire. Accord
ing to the indications in Germany,
the negotiations are expected to be
OF some length, but an effective COM
promise will probably be reached.
An earlier dispatch from the Ger
man capital said that the trouble
with America is temporarily over
shadowed and all isterer. Is centering
on the diplomatic battle in the Bal
kans. There is general satisfaction
that Germany and Austria Is calling
for showdown from the Balkan
powers, for which 1t is believed the
time Is particularly ripe. What will
Rumania do is the question Of the
hour.
Bucharest, the capital Of Rumania,
reports that the Austro- HUNGARIAN
misister on Wednesday, last, present
ed to the prime minister proposals Of
fering Rumania certain concessions in
exchange for definite neutrality and
facilities for supplying Turkey with
munitions or war
Austria offers TO cede to Rumania
a part of BukOwina as far south as
Sereth, and at the same time ameli-
crate the treatment of Rumanians i'm
the monarchy, granting a university
to Brashow, large admission If Rlma-
mans in Hungary into the public SER
vice. and greater liberty OF admins
tration to the Rumar ian churches.
An alternative proposal affects the
entry of Rumania into the field of
action on the side of the Fermanic
powers. In this event the ceded ter
ritory would be extended to Czerno-
WITT and the lise OF the Pruth, and
the frontier on the ID nube would be
extended beyond the Iron Gates and
include Mehadia. The undertaking
mentioned above with regard to the
situation OF Rumanianc is Hungary
would also apply, but allowing COM
plete autonomy to Pennsylvania
There Is also an undertaking that the
Austro-German armies will occupy
Bessarabia, and hand II over imme-
diately to Rumania. Germany guar
antees the executios of these pro-
posals.
A significant point is that there Is
fixed the term of one month within
which either alternative arrangement
must be agreed to. This Is the time
the Germans hope til, Turks will he
able to hold out In the Dardanelles.
