ports from the South Wales coal
fields, indicate no progress in the ne
gotiations for settlement of the strike
but efforts will be made at the cabi
net meeting to-day to find some meanar

It is generally believed in the mining
districts, however, that no satisfactory
way out of the present difficulties can
be found unless the government takes
over the mines and operates them
during the war.
One of the first things the miners de
mand is the withdrawal of the procla

to-day discussed in detail a draft ot
the note to be sent to Germany this
week informing the imperial govern

there is further violation of American

The return of President Wilson from

of Germany's failure to satisfy the
American demands in the note of
June 20.
It was understood that the President
and Secretary Lansing had reached
about the same conclusions—that the
next communication to Germany will
be of a definite character, making it
unmistakably clear that the United
States cannot be expected to remain
passive in the event of another attack
on an unarmed and unresisting ship
with a loss of Americans.
