London, July The Daily Chronicle has the following from Athens: A great scarcity of radii tions in Turkey is about to lead the Governments of Germany and Aus- tria into taking extremely serious steps. It has been already reported | that consignments of munitions of| war from Germany for Turkey have! ben held up in Roumania. A Rus- sian newspaper, Russko Slovo, sta- tes "that the Governments of the cen- tral Empires are preparing a note to Roumania on this question, which is one of life and death to the Aus- tro-Getman hopes in Turkey. To- day inquiries In diplomatic circles here tend to show that the Russko Slove's statement is quite correct; I learn that the note will take a form akin to ultimatum. Austro-German troops are now being concentrated on the Roumanian frontier as a means of exerting pressure on the Bucharest Government before the note 'is handed in. The whole posi- tion of Turkey's army in the Galli- poli Peninsula is in the balance un- "a (Special to the Whig.) § Paris, July 19.--Charging the French lines in thick columns along | a front of two-thirds of a mile, Ger- | man troops in the Artoise region! were sprayed with a rain of shrap- | nel that sent them reeling back in| confusion, according to the War| Office despatches this afternoon.

S---------- Victory Near at Dardanelles. London, July 19.--Reports which have reached Britain during the last few days regarding the Dardanelles operations, and particularly the Turkish means of defence, have led to the prediction that victory which will place Constantinople at their merey will be reached" within six weeks. Generally speaking, this confident anticipation is regarding as ultra-optimistie, but it originates in a quarter which deserves attention. A despatch to the Daily Mail from Athens, dated Sunday, says: Heavy fighting continues on the Gallipoli - Peninsula. The Allies the attacking vehemently along the whole front. Each attack is pre- ceded by a bombardment from heavy French artillery and the guns of the warships. All the attacks are re- ported to have been.successful, but there is no definite news concerning them. The Teutons launched a similar attack near St. Hubert as part of a general scheme of offensive move- ments yesterday, between Arras and the sea, but were beaten back.

London, Ont., July 19.--Mies Odela Laue, a German-American pianist with an American concert company which appeared at the city auditorium here some weeks ago, has been dischanged for her refusal to play "God Savé the King' when re quested to do so at the close of the programme on that occasion, aceord- in a letter received here from Guy Charlton Lee, president of the Na- tional Society for Boarder Education, of Carlisle, Penna., under whose aus- pices the company appears. In his letter Mr. Lee characterizes Miss Laue's conduct as disgraceful. ITALIAN CRUISER SUNK By an Austrian Submarine South of Ragasa. ' (Special to the Whig.)

Crown Prince Fails to Come Back at French (8pecial to the Whig.) Paris, July 19.--Thrown back with heavy losses, the German Crown Prince's Army 'has not renewed ite attempts to pierce the French line in the Argonne since last Tuesday, said the official statement to-day. The War Office in this connection said that the German claim that 7,- 000 prisoners were taken in the Ar- gonne battles was ridiculous. Dur- ing the past month, the War Ofice said not more than 7,000 French sol- diers have been reported "missing" on all, fronts. LANSING CONFERS With President Wilson In Washing- ton On Monday. (Special to the Whig.) Washington, D.C., July 19.--See- retary Lansing called at the White House at 11 a.m. to-day %o confer with the President concerning the German note. He carried a valise tn which were the papers relating to the matter. The Orunda case, said the Secre- tary, might delay the note a little, bit not for long.

London Morning Post Makes a Plea For the Cessation of Political War in Face of Crisis, London, July 19 --The Morning Post, discussing the Haldane-Lloyd George dispute, says: - "It is distressing and deplorable that with g fine army and 'fine navy fighting and dying for their coun- try, without a thought of self, our politicians should be atill thinking of their reputations for an infalli- bility they never possessed. "Now that we are in the midst of war, Llyod George is doing his best to relieve the position and putting his fiery.energy for the first time at the service of the whole nation; but let him cut himself wholly away from those personal quarrels and petty intrigues which only deflect him and the country in the proper business of the ur, "We do not blame Mr. Lloyd George alone for this situation. His personality is being skilfully used Lo an extent which hes dobs not per. haps realize, by the sensational ge- nius who presides over the Harms. worth press.' Lord Northcliffe has certain feuds of his owh, of which the country has sense enough to dis- approve, Should Be Warned. "This poor natien has gone far astray in its search after demoeratic government, but it has not yet reach- ed that bottomless pit, that circle of democracy, where lie the nations which are governed by their yellow press. Therefore, Lord Northcliffe will not succeed in 'his intrigues, and Mr. Lloyd George should be warned by his friends not to allow himself to be made a party to them, and it should also be made clear to Mr. Lloyd George, in case of present or future misundenstandings, that if there is to be any change in prime ministers the choice of the successor would lie with the pation, and not with the Harmsworth press, "Therefore, we hope that there will be an end of these cabals and that the coalition will firmly set he- hind it these personal matters and work together in the service of the country, for the politicians may be warned that there is serious trouble ahead for them and the system of government they represent, as well as for the country. It night be that they are having their last chance, and certainly democracy is on its trial." di DIRECT TAXATION ee testis Province Will Inangurate New Policy To Collect Money.

Lady Mackworth's Big Job. London, July' ¥9.--Lady Mack- worth, who was one of the survivors over the. management of the Su brian Coal Combine, aggregating $100,000,000 a year, during her fa-| ther's absence in America on war work for the Government. Her, fath-| er, D. A. Thomas, is the head of the | combine. His general manager, Leo-| nard Llewellyn, has also been de-| tached from the company's offices on) war work. - ! | Sentenced For'Killing "Spy". London, July 19.--Two young sol- diers at Galway have been sentenced | to a year's imprisonment each for/ killing a man whom they topk to be| a Germdn spy. The evidence showed | that the soldiers arrested the man | while he was in a train, took him to a lonely railroad station; and beat him so severely that he died. The man proved to be a former British soldier of long service. Bernstorfl Has Not Seen Wilson. Washington, July 19.--At the White House it was specifically den- fed that Bernstorff had asked to see the President, but the impression was general that he was waiting in Washington to talk again with Sec- retary Lansing, at any rate, after the latter hears what the chief: has to say concerning the German di- plomat's proposals. Germans Fail to I'ake Alsace From French Paris, July 19. -- Yesterday's French official report leads to the conclusion that the Germans are ser- iously alarmed by the situation in Al- sace and Lorraine. The prognosti- cation has been freely made of late that the next German drive would be in Alsace, in an effort to clear the whole German Empire of invaders. But so far German efforts there have been largely confined to endeavors to hold their own against advancing French forces, which some time ago took Metzeral and other points on the way to Colmar. Two assaults with the apparent ob- ject of relieving this situation are chronicled in the French communi- que. One was a would-be coup at Tournies farms, north-west of Col- mar. It was completely defeated. The other took place further north on the edge of Lorraine, opposite Strassburg, and likewise failed. In the Argonne the Crown Prince seems to be throwing his army as vainly as ever against the French po- sitions, © Two German attempts to retake Hill No. 263 came to nought. Bit by bit the Allies are acquiring and holding these commanding posi- tions. {from the coal field intimate that fur- ers to an abrupt adjournment at two British Cabinet Met in Special Session and Heard Report of Government Investigators---Not Believed That Miners Will Object Seriously to This Propesal. (Special to the Whig.) London, July 19.--That the gra- vest crisis England has faced since the war can only be averted b Government taking over the Wales coal mines was the growing conviction in official circles when the Cabinet met in special ses- sion to discuss the great coal strike. The Government investigators be- lieve that the miners will mot ob seriouely to the temporary national- | ization of the mines. They point | out that this would remove the chief | bone on contention--the belief on | the part of miners that the owners | are piling up huge fortunes by sell- | ing at "war prices." Unless"thYs is | done a settlement appears remote, | the investigators frankly tdld Presi-! dent Runciman of the Government Board of Trade to-day. The minority of the miners execu- tive council refused to compromise, and the council recognized that it was useless to go before the men with propdsiils unless these were backed by the whole council. The next move rests with the men, who previously have declined to budge from the position taken on ad- vice given by their direct representa- tives in the various districts," who twice before have voted down pro- posals of the executive council to re- sume work on day-to-day contracts pending further threshing out of points in dispute. The men assert a determination to exact full compliance with their de- mands or remain idle, but telegrams f ther conference on the return of the council may prove fruitful in recon- ceiling the differences. New Proposals. (Special to the Whig.)

"rench losses in the recent fighting und Arras total 78,300, according to Berlin official estimates. Since the beginning of the war 600 iron crosses of the first-class ave been distributed to Gérman War heroes. 0h Montenegr'n troops have occupied Graliovio after defeating the Aus- trians in a severe engagement. Twenty shells were 'thrown Into heims killing one" civilian. The French positions near tne village of Les Eparges were violently attacked but the attacks were repulsed. The sityition is unchanged in other see- tions. Italian airships bombarded enemy works around Gorizia with satisfac- tory results, all returping safely. Fierce fighting continues on the right bank of the Orzye; three enemy regiments attacked the village of Po- dessie and captured it, crossed the river taking five Russian guns, but later the Russians succeeded in re- capturing both guns and village ina fierce bayonet attack, A Berlin official repo~t 8: The 'German ofensive under Von Wisden: burg, was successful in eaptu ng two thousand men with many guns.
