STRIKERS TO BALLOT

London, July 31 LP) -. The peace proposals offered by the church. men of the Anglican and free churches with view to bringing an end to the coal strike, are to be submitted to district ballot of the men themselves, returnable August z. Should there be a considerable majority either for or against the proposals, the vote will be taken as final, but if the voting is close an- other conference of delegates may be held.
 This was decided upon today by the conference of miners delegates. but, as the government and mine owners have already rejected the bishops plan, the decision Is look ed upon as giving no hope for peace, and its only importance lies in its acceptance of the principle of compulsory arbitration on the wages question. "
 The bishops plan recommends that the men agree to resume work on the status quo, with continu- ance of the coal subsidy by the government for period not exceed ing four months, during which time a settlement would be evolved in line with the report of the royal coal commission.

EUROPEANS KNOW LITTLE
 OF AMERICAN POLITICS
Papers Abroad Pay Scant Attention to |. S. Affairs, PolitiCan h.
 stitute Hears

WilliamstoWn, Mass. July 31. R) We know ten times more about Europe, particularly the political situation, than they know about us, Arthur Draper of the New York Herald Tribune, told the Institute of politics today.
 At least. European cores pondents do not send on tenth as much American news as we receive from Europe" he explained, and 1t it partly because Britain until re- gently has not paid much attention to us, and partly because their cor respondents in America send back human interest stories rather than stories dealing with the political factors important in the country's welfare.
 The American public, he declared, has a better opportunity to learn what is going on in Europe than our friends on the other side have to know what we are doing and think Ing, He stresser the difficulties of interfering in right proportion the events recorded by a papers staff, and he added the experienced re- porter to the list of confidants who, like doctors, lawyers, and ministers, would be able. except for the re- spect for the condolences they hold, to profoundly change the career of many a great man.
 Responsibility of newspapermen to their readers and their news sources is therefore incalculable.

 Famous Austrian Affair

Vienna, Austria, July 3l LP)-The last act In the tragedy which caused the death of Prince Cyril Vladimir Orloff and the suicide of Baroness Klinger two months ago, was play ed in criminal court today when all the proceedings against Baron Ringer holding him responsible for the death of the prince were abandoned.
 The court ruled there was no evi- dence to prove that the baron fired before Prince Orloff when they ex changed shots in a forest near the barons castle at Raab early in June. The baron was wounded in the chest while his gun shattered the princes arm. Two weeks later Orloff died from pneumonia.
 Baroness Klinger, to whom Prince Orloff had been paying much atten- ton, took her own life when she learned of the shooting. Becuse of the prominence of those concerned the affair caused sensation in Aus trian society circles.

PRES. SAYS ARMS
 BAN WILL STAY
Will Not Lift Embargo on Ship
 meltS to Mexico

Paul Smiths, N. Y, July 31 P- The presidential spokesman has be- come sufficiently talkative to reveal Mir. Coolidge's opinion that the em- bargo on arms to Mexico will not be lifted, that aviation is still too costly for extensive commercial use. and his assurance that Secretary Mellon is in Europe solely for a vacation. In view of the present religious situation in Mexico, 1t was said, President Coolidge does not expect that any action will be taken in the near future toward lifting the en- bargo on arms to that country which has existed for year and a half. Mir. Coolidge has discussed the ques- ton with MT. Kellogg several times, but they never reached a conclusion.
 The president feels there is every reason to expect that the future will see passengers and certain types of merchandise being carried by air, al- though at present that aspect of commercial flying is regarded by him as rather, more of an expectation than an accomplishment due largely to the expense of aerial transporta- tion.
 Mir. Coolidge does not anticipate that. there will be a very large pas senger service for the present or that such commodities as coal can be shipped by air.
 nf fho nrpCi6pnt' 'c views on flying was given as re- suit of the visit he had earlier in the week with Edsel Ford, head of the aviation department of the Ford in- terests who discussed the subject thoroughly with Mir. Coolidge.
 Although the chief executive was said to be optimistic as to the future of the airplane in commercial life, it was said in his behalf that he re- garded attempts to predict the fu- ture of any new industry as futile. The ridicule heaped upon the tele- ghaph and telephone in their early days was recalled as an example Of the inadvisability of the efforts at forecasting future industrial develop ments.
 Secretary Melons visit to Europe is for recreation only and the head of the treasury department will transact no government business while abroad, it was officially stated.
 Mir. Mellon possesses no authority as secretary it was pointed out to negotiate debt agreements with the three or four nations whose small obligations to this country have not yet been needed. One of his brief purposes in leaving the country was to visit his daughter who is in Rome.
 The visit of Senator Cameron, re- publican, Arizona, today for brief stay was understood to be a. social call. Mrs. Frank W. Stearns. of Bos- ton, wife of the president close personal friend will arrive next week to join her husband as the guest of Mir. and Mrs. Coolidge.

 Are Slain.

Champaign, Ill July 31 P-Fac- led by two mysterious staying that stand out against a background of long business activity by Mrs. An- Ira Carmody among the negro popu- Iation, officials today sought to link them by one hand.

 Authorities learned that Mrs. Car mody had been party to financial aid given Thomas in the purchase of an automobile
 The police are convinced that Mrs. Carmody's business transac- tions with the negroes are back of her death, her name having been linked with the killing of the porter through a financial deal.
 It was learned that she carried insurance of about s75,0o0. It was reported that she had within the past few days made provisions for disposal of her property.
