SOUTH WALES COAL.
 STRIKE ID BE ENDED ! UNDER AGREEMENT
Government Representatives and Miners Adopt Tenta- tive Plan for Adjust
 ing Difficulty

Cardiff, July 20.-U0:10 D. m.)-Gov- erpment representatives. mine owners and miners reached an agreement here today which it Is believed will end the great South Wales coal strike. which since last Thursday has menaced the navy's fuel supply. The agreement Is subject to ratification by the miners through delegates which will assemble tomorrow
 The terms arrived at grant sub stantial wage increase and involve concessions which strike leaders con slider as tantamount to an admission oi tonight were visiting their districts canvassing the sentiments there pre- paratory to tomorrow vote. If tomorrow's meeting should brire a settlement the thanks of the country will go chiefly to David Lloyd-George the munitions minister. for his arrival here Monday night paved the way for breaking the deadlock
 The chief cause of the miners un- rest was what they considered the ex- cessive profits mine owners were mak- ing in the sale of their coal at war prices--profits in which they were not sharing. They also deeply resented en- forced arbitration as authorized by the application of the munitions act to coal miners Though 1t Is now law, this measure was not actually invoked against the miners and no mention ia made of It's future scope in the proposed settlement
 If the vote tomorrow is favorable to ending the strike 200, 900 men will return to work immediately and agree to abide by the terms of the settlement until six months after the wars termi- nation.
 The hopeful turn of affairs has been received with a sigh of relief all over Great Britain. for the humiliation oi the public that a strike should have taken place at such a time was keen

In Character and Purposes of Latest Effort to Secure Safety for Americans Agreement Is Reached
MEMBERS CABINET
 SILENT REGARDING
 PROBABLE CONTENTS
Make It Clear, However, That Note Will Not Be in Nature of Ultimatum to the Kaiser

Washington, July 2O.-Prcsident
 Wilson and his cabinet decided to-
 day on the general principles of
 the note to he sent to Germany
 renewing efforts to secure for
 American citizens protection on the
 high seas.
 The President read to the cab-
 inet assembled for the first time in
 . month a tentative draft of the
 note. On It's character and pur-
 poses there was unanimous agree
 ment and Secretary Lansing was nt
 work tonight putting in more pre-
 else language the Ideas set forth.
 Members of the cabinet generally pre- served secrecy regarding the probable contents of the communication and such information as was obtainable chiefly was of a negative character. Cabinet offi- cers made it clear that 1t would not be an ultimatum or make threats as 10 the fu- ture purposes of the United States. At the same time they pointed out that II probably would have an air of finality, curtailing the field of discussion and ne- gotiation. and placing sauarely on Ger many the responsibility for any actions that might subsequently endangcr friendly relations of the two countries.
 Friendly Terms
 The communics tlrn win be couched in friendly terms.
 Today's conferen,e was devoted some what to a discussion of what tho Amer ican people want said and done. So faI as cabinet officers could judge by theiI ton has voiced an insistent desire thai the honor and dignity of the United States be upheld nthe correspondence with Ger many, but that a course be followed which will maintain peace.
 On Germany's next reply and the crys- utilization of public opinion thereafter will depend to a large extent, officials inti- mated the action of the United States concerning future violations of American rights.
 Secretary Lansing said today that no complete report of the encounter between the British liner Orduna and German submarine had reached the state depart ment. An investigation has been insti- tuted through the treasury department and report is expected within few days. but the dispatch of the note to Ger many will not be delayed, 1t was stated officially.
 Statement From Thompson
 A statement from William o. Thompson, counsel of the industrial relations com mission, who was on board the Orduna. was referred to by Secretary Lansing as giving only part of the Information nec- essary to form Judgment of the legality or illegalty of the attack. MT Thomp- son was aroused only after several shells had been fired and after a torpedo was alleged to have been seen. No testimony is available to show whether the attack was made without warming
 Count Won Bernstorff, the German ann bassador. was at the state department to- day on what he referred to as routine business. He had no information on the Orduna ease and did not see Secretary Lansing.
