IN TODAY'S WAR NEWS
The development of tho German
ofTen8lvo on tho east front is dis
closing a Beries of movements
which hnVo no parallel in their
magnitude since tho war began.
The Germans, under Field Mar
shal von Hindonburg, appear to
bo not only aiming at Warsaw,
but to encircle and -put out of ac
tion the entire Russian army, oc
Py the wholo of Poland, seize
tho Baltic provinces and Russia's
naval bases in tho north, launch
a movo on Pctrograd, drive the
Russians out of the rest of Ga
licia and carry tho operations in
that region into Bessarabia, with
the probablo purposo of attempt
ing n drive on Kiov and occupying
that ancient capital of Muscovy.
Tho Russians hold positions of
great strategic value in Poland and
tho immediate future will see tho
success or failure of tho boldest
plans devised by modern military
commanders. It is estimated that
10,000,1)00 men are engaged on
both sides in tho operations in the
East.
On tho West front tho situation
is unchanged dbspito tho stubborn
and furious fighting of tho lost

Tho text of the nqte was telegraphed 'to
the Ambassador on Wednesday and it

ESTABLISHES, POSITION.
The sending of this note, which is in
the nature of a caveat, and which reiter
ates the position taken In the first Amer
ican note to Great Britain, following upon
the Ordor In Council, establishing the

been In contemplation since that time.
This caveat will not In any way act as
a substitute for the formal note of pro
test to be sent to Great Britain by the
United States Government as a result of
tho seizure of more than 100 cargoes, of
American goods. It simply lays before
the British authorities the fact that the
United States refuses to recognize as
valid any prize court proceedings in
nnt Tirltafn "which Ignore tho rights of
American citizens as established In inter
national law before the Issuance of tho
Order in Council dealing with trade with

LONDON, July 17.
The strike that hag made 200.000 miners
Idle In the South Wales coal fields and
threatens to cripple the manufacture of
munitions and the movements of tho
British fleet took on a more serious as
pect today.
The Arbitration Committee of the
"Welsh coal miners demanded that the
Cabinet withdraw the- proclamation ap
plying the provisions, of' the Munitions act
to the situation. The ultimatum of the
association was served upon President
Runclman, of the Board of Trade. He
Immediately rejected the demand nnd
served notlco that tho Cabinet could
make no more concessions than had been
offered In previous conferences with tho
workers' leaders.
As soon as the Government had re
jected the association's demand tho strike
spread to Monmouthshire. Seven thou
sand miners wnlked out of the Ebbw
Vale collieries. As many more were made
Idle by tho closing of plants which de
pend upon a dally supply from the Mon
mouthshire mines.
Three mines In South "Wales, that had
been kept open with a small force, shut
down today and tho tlo-up was made
complete. At noon labor leaders said
that by night 250,000 men would be Idle.
Members of the South "Wales Miners'
Federation,- who had come hero to nego
tiate with Runclman, . conferred this aft
ernoon and then adjourned until Mon
day. It was later announced that tho
negotiations between the Government nnd
the miners had reached a deadlock and
that the Government would begin the
enforcement, of the munitions act.
Premier Asquith today called an ex
traordinary session of the Cabinet for
Monday to deal with the coal strike sit
uation. wJll make a personal appeal to the South
AVales coal miners to return to work.
Hepinns to go 10 uanun tomorrow, no

BIUTISH ACCUSE GERMANS
OF BTABlINfrCOAL STRIKE
LONDON, July 17, The London Finan
cial News' prints a sensational story today
In which It is alleged that the South
Wales mine' strike was Instigated by
agents ot Gerhlany, who spent $300,000 to
bribe men. and Women who could Influ
ence miner.
The London Express accepts this theory
and believes' that the men who caused
the strike were 'German-Americans.
"Men not miners and neither Welsh nor
English were active In the South Wales
district for several weeks urging the men
to strike until their full demands were
granted. Several spoke with an Ameri
can accent and are believed to have been
German-American.
"These men were' particularly active in
tho time between the conferences between
miners' delegates."

Some of the, most distinguished men of
the nation welcomed the Bell to tho ex
position. The States to the north and
east of Qallfornla sent thousands to preet
It, and all nations ot the world joined
with America in bidding tho Liberty Bell
welcome to, the world's fair. ;
The bell was escorted to the 'exposition
by the greatest military parade -attempted
since the opening of tho fair.
In front of the .Fountain of Energy,
ceremonins of potap and reverence were
performed. Joseph P. Gaffney, represent
ing the city of Philadelphia) gave the relic
into the custody of the exposition offi
cials. About an hour later the otU
Liberty Bell was placed in its exposition
home, the Pennsylvania Building.
Flowers and children constituted a
feature In today's celebration: There
were 50.000 school children standing In
