SEE PEACE AHEAD IN WELSH
COAL MINERS STRIKE

London, July 2O.-For first time
since great strike of Welsh coal min
ers was called, imperilling England's
supplies of war munitions, prospects
appeared bright today for peaceful
settlement,
Governments yelled threat to as
sumo control of mines for period of
the war if negotiations failed, has
caused mine owners to recede from
their previous position. They stood
ready today to concede practically all
the mems demands.
Lloyd George today resumed his
conference with miners council and
late this afternoon was scheduled to
meet committee of mine owners. It
is possible that a tentative peace pact
will be signed today.

MURDERED THREE WIVES.
In Each Case Victim Was Found Dead
ir BatE Tub.

LONDON, March 81. - Charged with
he murder of three women, George
Joseph Smith, in the Bow street court
yesterday, heard Public Prosecutor
Bodkin declare he had made away with
three of his wives, the crime in each
ease being committed shortly after he
had married them. Each Of these wo-
men was found dead in her bath; con
sequentlv the ease has come to be
known as the Brides in baths case
Smith has described himself as a man
of independent means. According to
the evidence of Scotland Yard, which
has been inquiring into the deaths of
these women, Smith made use Of vari-
Gus fictitious names in his matrimonial
ventures. The women he married were
found dead a few days after the cere-
mony. Nerdicts of accidental death
were returned. but now certain Of the
bodies have been exhumed with the re
suit that the charges of murder have
been preferred. The public prosecutor
gave the names of the three women and
the dates of the alleged murders as
Beatrice Mundy. July. 1912; Alice
Burnham. December, 1918; and Marga
ret Lofty, December, 1914.
Smith, according to the police, was
born in London, the son of an insurance
agent, and is 45 years of age.

AN ENORMOUS TASK
FOR THE RUSSIANS
Sending Prisoners to Rear, Feeding
Populace and Tending Sick and
Wounded at Przemysl

LONDON, March u, 1875 p. m.-The
magnitude Of the surrender OF Przemysl
and speculation as to how quickly the
Russians will be able to press the advan-
tage derived therefrom continued to be
the chief topic OF discussion III the war
news today.
The Russians are proceeding to put the
fortress in order, sending the prisoners to
the rear, feeding the starving p0pulace and
tending to the sick and wounded
The task is an enormous one and so 1t
is presumed that Russia for some time
viii not be able to divert elsewhere her
army OF six corps which for SO long had
been engaged in front of this stronghold.
Official reports disclose that nothing OF
Importance has occurred in the western
arena, but unofficial dispatches from Rot
terdam and Amsterdam say another Ger
man offensive on the western front is i'm.
pending.
Stubborn fighting in the Carpathans is
going on unabated. At the northern ex
tremity of the eastern line the Russians
admit they have been thrown back from
the East Prussian fort of Memel
Further TO the south the Russians claim
that the German attempts to take Osso
wetz are weakening.
The strength of the latest Turkish ad
vance on the Suez canal is so negligible
according to a despatch reaching here
that British observers find it hard to be
lieee a forcing of passage over this wat
crway has been seriously considered.
The British theory is that the Turks ar
being led on an expedition to keep tn
British troops on the alert and so proven

rass the British contingents as much a
possible, while never really contemplatin
