The general belief is that the

that he may bring with him from
Cornish, n. H., a memorandum or
rough draft Of note to be sent to

first with Secretary Lansing, who it
is believed, also has mapped out a
draft Of a note. Decision on the pol
icy to be followed probably will be
reached at the cabinet meeting and
the new note may be completed by
the end of next week.

South Wales
Miners Defy
the War Act
Men Prepare to Lay Down Tools
Despite Application Of NUM-
tons Act to Mining Industry
MAY UTILIZE MINERS
WHO ENTERED ARMY

London, July 14.-10.05 P. M.-De-
spite the action Of the government in
applying the munitions OF war act to
the coal mining industry, which will
make the miners subject to severe
fines il they strike, 1t is practically
certain that a large number of men
will stop work in South Wales to-
morrow, thus curtailing the supply OF
coal for the naval vessels.
The Federation Of Miners of the
United Kingdom, the labor leaders
and the general public, upon whose
support the miners would depend to
ing them to continue work until an
agreement can be reached. but the
executive council Of the South Wales
Union, by a majority vote refused to
support this recommendation and a
large proportion Of the men are pre-
pairing to lay down their tools.
1t is not believed, however, that the
strike will last long, as the men
themselves are divided and the South
Wales Union has not the funds to
finance long struggle, the Miners
Federation of the United Kingdom
after its recommendation is not likely
to assist them from its exchequer
There is also a possibility that the
government will utilize the miners
who enlisted in the army and who
have not vet left the country to work
the mines.
This dispute. which jeopardizes the
work of the navy. occupies the public
mind in England above all other mat
tiers.

Allied Air Raid

At other points on the Western line,
there is a continuance Of the artillery
action, and an Allied air raid on Lib
ercourt between Douai and Lille was
successfully carried out by a squad
ron of 20 aeroplanes.
South of LubIin
To the south Of Lublin which has
been one Of the objective points Of
the Austro- Germans in Russian Po-
land. where they hoped to establish
themselves on a strong basis for a
further advance toward Warsaw, there
has been serious fighting in which the
Russians claim to have captured dur
ing the week ending July II, officers
and men to the number Of 22,761.
The Russian war Office also reports that
trenches extending over a territory Of
about l 1-3 miles on the right bank of
the PISA river in Poland, which were
captured by the Germans on July q,
were retaken by the Russians.
The Argonne Fighting
incidentally Paris declares that the
German gain in the Argonne Tuesday
did not exceed at any point depth over
quarter of a mile.
This is the second success claimed for
the crown prince in the Argonne during
the last few weeks, but, as in the pre-
vious case. there is a complete conflict
of testimony between the two headquar-
tiers. The Germans stated that they took
nearly 5000 prisoners, while the French,
although admitting that their line mo-
mentarily gave way, declare that their
counter-attacks arrested the progress Of
the Germans and drove them back.
There is no change reported on
either the Eastern or Italian fronts.
while reports that Turkey is seeking
a separate peace: that some change in
the Balkan situation is imminent, and
that the Allies have made further
progress on the Gallipoli peninsula,
still lack official confirmation.
Although many thousands Of coal
miners in South Wales have decided
to continue work. many more thou
sands have determined to stop work,
despite the governments application
Of the munitions Of war act to the
coal mining industry, making the
minors liable to heavy fines II they
quit the djggipgs.
The president Of the British Board
Of Trade, however, Is to resume nego-
tiations with the miners.
