Lloyd-GeOrge Decides to Take
Personal Hand in Trouble
Which Threatens to Tie Up
British Factories and Fleet.
I.OND0N, July l. The great Welsh
coal strike, which threatened to cripple
the British navy and cause nn Industrial
revolution, took n turn for the better this
cvenlns whan 19 members of the execu
tive committee of the miners' union, at
a meeting held in Cardiff, pledged them
selves to end the strike at once. Four
other members refused and went on
record In favor of a continuation.
David Lloyd-George, the British Mln
lter of Munitions, will personally confer
with the striking Couth Wales coal miners
and wl I go to the mine at once to do so
The decision of Lloyd-George was made
following a conference between Waller
Runciman, President of the Board of
Trade, and representatives of the strik
ers, ttunclmnn served notice that the
strike, which now embraces 200.000 men,
must be ended at once,
That tho rosull of Mr, Runclman's con
ference was unsatisfactory was Indicated
by tho decision of Lloyd-George to tako
a personal hand In the matter. His re
port. It,- was said, would be made to the
President of tho Board of Trade Im
mediately upon his return to London. The
miners employed In the coal fields of the
Rhonda Valley, who decided on Thursday
to return to work, unexpectedly reversed
their decision this morning, and their
leaders said they would not enter the
mines beforo Monday,
Tho miners who have struck are virtu
ally in rebellion against the Government,
and President Runciman so Informed
their leaders when he met them. It was
hinted In official circles today that If the
strike did not end Immediately the
Government would take over the collerles
and operate them with workers under
the-protection of troops.
A heavy rain was falling over the en
tire district when the Executive Council
of the Miners' Federation met today to
discuss the Government's ultimatum. Re
cause of this fact few of the miners
gathered In Cardiff, and It was difficult to
learn whether tho feeling of the men has
changed over night; Their leaders re
fused to forecast what would happen If
the Government attempted to collect the
f.nea for which each striking miner Is
liable under the munitions act.
Railway lines all over .Wales suffered
seriously today from lack of coal. Sea-,
port towns were hardest hit and began
to bid early In the day for surplus stocks
held by tho collieries for emergencies. It
was considered probable that If the strike
continues tho Admiralty will requisition
these stocks for uso by the British navy.
The Germans have betriin their
-great drive on Warsaw ffftnt.the
Tlorth, na Indicated in the capture
of Przasnysz, followed by attacks
on tho Natow River defenses of
tho Polish capital. It is now to be
expected that another advance will
be launched by Vbn Mackensen in
the south, with the Austro-Gormnn
armies apain making an effort to
capture the Lublin-Cholm Railway
and thus make the fall of Warsaw
almost inevitable. The nlnn nf Mnr.
shal von Hindenbtirr is to catch
the armies of the Grand Duke be
tween two Teuton armies, operat
Ing- in the manner of a nut cracker,
and thus destroy or Capture a
great part of the Slav forces, tho
only result that could be inter
preted as a decisive victory for the
Germans, The Russians ore evi
dently fighting stubbornly with
the memory of tho utter failuro of
o similar German plan last Febru
ary. The fighting in tho Shavll
region in tho north and tho re
ported resumption of nctivity by
the Austro-Gormnns in southeast
ern Gallcia ore of small impor
tance and should bo regarded ns
part of tho general plan of tho
German-? to prevent a concentra
tion of Russian forces on the flanks
of tho invaders.
Tho Argonno region is still the
most absorbing Held of operations
on tho west front.
The French have again checked
tho offorta of the Gcrmnns to ad
vanco within artillery range of the
fortress of Wrdun. The recapture
of Hill No. 285 by (ho French is
a sotbnek for tho Germans, tho
hill beimr an important link in the
west defenses of Verdun.

MITTLENE. July 16.-Brltlsh reinforce
ments are reported to have been landed
upon the northern shores of tho Galll
poll Peninsula, nnd are now within three
hours' march of the town of Galllpoll,
at the entrance of the Sea of Marmora.
according to Word received here today
Turkish losses In the last six days'
lighting at the Dardanelles are ostlmated
at 25.000 men. The Anglo-rrencli fleet
has redoubled Its Are, and the land bat
teries of the Allies have been advanced.
The Allies In their latest successful drive
on the south tip of the peninsula cap
tured much war materials.
The flghUng on the Galllpoll Peninsula
continued with unparalleled ferocity botli
by day and by night. The Turks were
subjected to a most terrific bombardment
by the Allied fleet and were compelled ta
surrender three lines of trenches to the
British at Derka Tepo.
In the sector of Krithla the French are
advancing against the main positions if
the Turks, being supported by the heaviest
uiinic.j ui me Angio-vrencn batteries.
Prisoners say that tho morale of the
Turkish army has been shaken by tho
furious attacks and the violent bombard
ment ROME, Ju'y 15
It Is cohflrmed on good authority In
dip omatlo circles that Turkey has been
making peace overtures to the Alius.
Their efforts In this direction, however.
nro said to hive failed completely.
Contrary to the genera! belief. Turkey
did not send her emissaries to Switzer
land, but Instructed her diplomat! In the
.. kan States to communicate with the
allied Governments. It Is said that the
Julian representatives who have been
making efforts In tho direction of peace
aro authorized tu name rnnrfitinno i.r,
which Turkey will desert her Teutonic
friends.
There does not seem, however, to be
any likelihood of the allied Powers listen
ing to Turkey on this subject, unless the
Turks consent to on unconditional occu
pation of Constantinople and simul
taneously close the Bulgarian frontier,
thus making all Austro-Germans In the
Ottoman Empire prisoners of war.
It Is confirmed here that a disagree
ment between Enver Pasha and the two
German envoys at Constantinople, Gen
eral von der Golta and General Llman
von Sanders, has resulted In the de
parture of General von Bandera for
Berlin,

The dispatches which bring this news
say that many .Germans In Turkey are
leaving tho country hurriedly, and that
as a consequence the well Informed
Turks feel that there Is little hope that
the Dardanelles will be .able to hold out.
The lack of munitions In the Turkish
army la said to be a matter of very
serious importance.
Broad and foods of all descriptions aro

while the wounded soldiers are receiving
very Inadequate attention. The wheat

WASHINGTON. July U.-A substitution
of "blue Jeans for gold braid" will be a
necessary factor In upbuilding the United
States Navy, Secretary Daniels and
Thomas A. Kdlson agreed In their confer
Thomas A. Edison have agreed.
The Secretary, In connection with hla
statement today, said the "Wizard" had
definitely undertaken to head the advisory
boird of inventors that will assist the
Navy Department chiefs In the develop
ment of new mechanical Ideas. The other
members of this board have not been se
lected, Secretary Daniels said, but he ex
pects to make an early stnrt on enlisting
scientist!) for the advisory organization.
Secretary Daniels said that he had dis
cussed with Mr. EdUon the general pur
poses of the hoard at their conference
yesterday. Edison, the Secretary said,
declared that membership on this board
would be an unprecedented mark of na
tional recognition for an Inventor, and
that every engineer In the country would
bo glad to offer his services to tho na
tion through this medium.
The Secretary told friends that he and
Edison's talk proved them In thorough
accord concerning the sort of naval de
velopment the United States needs. They
agreed on the necessity for developing
the submarine and aeronautic services as
a mechanical proposition.
The suggestion was made when the
board was first talked of that even such
a body could accomplish little unless de
partmental red tape could be eliminated.
It Is known that Daniels has been work
ing for some time toward this end.

Who Ride on Empire REDS
If somebody could pass a wand
over your tires and make them
proof against blow-outs, friction
and cuts, you'd want to buy the
wand. Buy Empire RED Tires
and you'll get practically the
same result.
The RED Rubber in Empire
REDS stays fresh. Time and
travel canH sap its bounce or
strength like gray rubber, be
cause it is free of chemicals that
disintegrate. Empire REDS
don't blow out or give out only
long hard wear can get them.
Empire RED Tires are not sensi
tive to heat they stay cool
under terrific speed, That keeps
friction off the job, and spares
your wallet.
Empire RED Rubber, having
greater resiliency, contracts on
cuts and keeps them from spread
ing. It doesn't rot or get brittle
it always gives maximum wear.
The Empire Noruskid Tread is extra
thick nnd as safe as it is thick.
Slpif e Y are IS "pW on a mile
age basis, but on the basis of your
satisfaction. If you don't get your
money i worth, we wilf make good.
That's the safe and sure way fpr you!
