According to this _report, two lines of Turkish trenches were captured, together with four hundred prisoners. The Turks on the other hand, claim to have re- pulsed the allies’ attacks. As anticipated, progress against the Turks is very slow, owing to the na- tural and strongly fortified positions which they hold.

South-Wales Miners Vote Not to Work Pending Settlement. London, July 15.—With the exceptfon of two small collieries in the Rhondda district, employing about 800 men, the coal mines in South Wales, from which comes the coal for the navy, were idle today, and the miners, despiie the action of the government in bring. ing the industry under the munlu»ns ot war act, and the entreaties of the respounsible labor leaders and their own executive council, decided by a vote of 186 to 113 mot to the recom- mendationis to continue work day by day until an ent could be concluded. The" delegates_voting for the strike represented 8,950 men and those against the strike 41,500. Thus, although opinion is divided, the ex- tremists are in the large majority. The confercnce, however, agreed to meet the president of the Board of Trade, Walter Runciman, tomorrow to discuss the situation. General business on the Cardiff coal exchange has ceased, owing to the government requisition for the admir- alty of all available coal supplies,while shipping and the railways which de- pend on the mines also had little to do today. There is e general impression, however, that the strike will not last Tong, but that the men, after a short holiday.- perhaps over the week end, will return to work. All the responsi- Dle labor leaders of the country are opposed to the strike, and while it is hard to see how the government can enforce the penalties of the munitions act, it is believed that the men will t|be influenced by the fact that they are opposing en act which was passed Fhis pelicy has been advocated by the independent labor party. which is more extreme than the regular labor party, and one of the leaders of which is J.

Insist on Right of Officials take the view that the case of the Nebraskan proves cenclusively that a merchantman must be visited in order to determirie its natfonality and the character of its cargo before being attacked. Some high officials do not believe the United States would insist that in exercising, the right of 'ail | visit the submarine commander actu- ally be required to board a merchant- man, but would hold that a.ship could be “visited” by signalling & ng to.stop and-askinig for the' of papers to the submariné commander.

The text of the German memoran- dum on the case of the Nebraskan was the subject of much comment in offi- cial quarters because it bears out con- clusions reacheg by Lieutenant John H.

In the case of the Guifiight, too, the naval constructors at the American emb: at London were able to establish that the vessel was torpedoed This has stfengthened the confidence of naval officers here that they will be able to determine accurately tife causes of mishaps to_American vessels in the war zone provided the hull can be raised or brought into port for exam- ination. e WILL ASK THAT THAW’S BAIL BE MADE HIGH Probably $40,000 If He Is Released on Bail with Appeal Pending. New York, July 15.—Harry K. Thaw slept tonight in Ludlow street jail, for the last time perhaps in his life, as a prisoner. Tomorrow morning he is to know whether the future holds for him Matteawan or freedom. Supreme Court Justice Hendrick wiil then an- nounce his decision on. the motion made today, to have the order com- mitting Thaw to Matteawan in 1908 formally vacated. Legal formalities today were brief. They consisted in Thaw's appearance before Justice Hendrick and the for- mal motion of John B. Stanchfield, chiet of the Thaw lawyers, that the writ be vacated. Decision on the mo- tion wag reserved, in conformity with Justice Hendrick’s announcement of yesterdsy, until tomorrow. If the decision is in Thaw’s favor, the stafe will appeal, according to Deputy Attorney General Cook. There Would then come before the court the matter of bail for Thaw until the ap- peal should be decided. The state has signified that it would oppose Thaw's release on bail, but that if it should Iose this point, it would ask that the bond be made high, $40,000, or there- Justice Hendrick today in- dicated that he would probably accept bail and in that event, he said, Thaw would be free to-go where e willed, the San Francisco fair or l-n!whare else.
