Read to Cabinet

The President read to his official
family. assembled for the first time
in a month, a draft of a communica-
ton answering the German govern
ment's note of July s, which failed TO
grant the demands of the United
States growing out of the sinking of
the Lusitania. The draft was incom-
plete in form. On its character and
purpose, however, there was unani-
nous agreement. and Secretary Lans-
ing was at work tonight putting in
more precise language the ideas set
forth.
Members of the cabinet generally
preserved secrecy regarding the prob
able contents Of the communication
and the President cautioned against
detailed speculation in advance Of the
publication of the document lest mis-
taken impressions be cabled abroad
before the actual text is received in
Berlin.
Carries No Threats
Such information as was obtainable
concerning the nature of the new note
was chiefly Of a negative character
Cabinet officers made it clear that i,
would not be an ultimatum or make any
threats as to the future purposes of the
United States At the same time they
pointed out that it would probably have
an air Of finality. curtailing the field OF
discussion and negotiation and placing
squarely on Germany the responsibility
for any actions that mught subsequently
endanger the friendly relations of the
two countries. The communication would
be couched in friendly terms although II
will follow the spirit Of firmness that has
characterized prs~ious notes.
Today's conference was partly devoted
to a discussion Of what the American
people really wanted the Washington
government to say and do in the present
crisis. So far as the cabinet officers
could judge by their examination Of pub
lie expressions, the nation had voiced an
insistent desire that the honoS and digni-
ty Of the United States be upheld in the
correspondence with Germany. but that

Expecting Battle

No word has been received Of the
whereabouts Of Gen. Gonzales since IE
quit the capital. News of battle neal
Pachuca is hourly expected.
Other reports to the state depart
ment during the day said that railroad
communication between Vera Cruz and
Mexico City was suspended on account
of the present military operations. Sus-
pension Of railroad communication is
viewed here with alarm for the suffer
ing people in Mexico City, as this &C
ton completely cuts off the sending of
much needed food supplies. A private
message from a responsible source re-
ceived today pictured the situation as
desperate.
At the cabinet meeting today. the
uncertain Mexican situation was brief
ly discussed. Some move on the part of
the United States in pursuance Of
President Wilson's message to the Mex
lean factions two months ago urging
peace, is expected in the near future.
American Consul General Franklin,
who is now at Vera Cruz, returning to
Washington from Mexico City. is ex-
pected to give the administration con-
siderable light on the exact status of
affairs in the republic when he arrives
next week

a course should be followed which would
maintain peace
On Germanys next reply and the crys-
utilization Of public opinion thereafter
will depend to a large extent, according
to intimations from officials, what the
action of the United States will be con-
corning future violations of American
rights.
Secretary Lansing stated today that no
complete report of what had occurred in
the encounter between the British liner
Orduna and German submarine had
reached the state department.. An inves-
tigation has been instituted through the
treasury department. and a report is ex-
pected within a few days, but the dis.
patch of the note to Germany will not
be delayed. it was officially stated, on
account Of the Orduna case.
A statement received from William O..
Thompson, counsel Of the industrial rela-
lions commission, who was on board the
Orduna, was referred to by Secretary
Lansing as giving only a part Of the In
formation necessary to form a judgment
of the legality or illegality of the at
tack. No testimony is as yet available
to show whether the attack was made
without warning.

Increase Granted

The terms arrived at grant a sub.
stantial increase in wages and in
volve concessions to the strikers
tive committee a.. tantamount to an
admission of the miners claims on
nearly all the outstanding points. To-.
night the delegates were visiting their
districts canvassing the sentiments
there, preparatory to tomorrow's vote.
If tomorrow's meeting should bring
settlement Of the strike the thanks
Of the country will go chiefly to la
vid. Lloyd George, the munitions min
lister, for 1t was his arrival here Mon.
day night that paved the way for
breaking the deadlock between the
miners and the mine owners.
II the vote tomorrow Is favorable to
ending the. strike. 100000 men will re-
turn to work Immediately and agree
to abide by the terms of the settle
ment until six months after the ter
mination of the war.
The hopeful turn Of affairs has
been received with a sigh Of relief all
over Great Britain, for the humilia-
ton Of the public that q strike should
have taken place at such a time was
keen. This humiliation was reflected
in all sections Of the press and there
was growing talk Of the government
taking over the mines.
The agreement reached today pro-
vides that neither side shall be penal
lied for the present dispute.
Mr.. Lloyd George will remain in
Cardiff tomorrow. but will not address
the miners unless they request him
to do so.

General Manager of Red Cross
Says Relief Work Is Imp0ssi-

Effects Further Development
OF Its Mexican Policy

Washington, July 2o.-Dispatches to
the state department from Mexico City
late today announced that Zapata
forces re-oceupied the capital Sunday
following the evacuation by the Car
rama army under Gen. Gonzales. Ia
pata officials were said to have re-
sumed control Of the city from which
they were driven 10 days ago by Gen
Gonzales, who now has gone north
ward with his troops to meet IN ad.
vancing Villa force.
This unexpected development came
as surprise, not only to officials Of
the Washington government, but te
both the Mexican agencies. 1t had
been supposed that the Zapata army
defeated and harrassed on retreat, was
oreratins along the railroad to Vera
Cruz, waiting an opportunity to form
a junction with the Villa column ap
preaching from the north.

The acute peril of Warsaw is ac-
centuated by the Russian official COM
munication which says that German
columns are within range Of the fort

the capital from the northwest and

of Lublin has either been captured or

Of the Austro- Germans, the Russian
commander-in-chief having issued
through the civil governor. an order
that in case Of retreat the male pop
ulation is to attach itself to the re-
treating troops.
There has been a flash Of British
activity in Flanders, without any i'm
portant change in the situation and
the British public is far more inter-
ested in the South Wales strike,
which, by virtue Of David Lloyd
Georges flying visit to Cardiff. seems
to have been settled. It is understood
that virtually all Of the strikers de-
uands have been granted.
The Serbian armies are being re-
equipped and recognized according
to semi official advices reaching Lon
