MINERS CHEER LLOYD GEORGE.
CARDIFF, July 22—The Welsh miners who were out
on strike gave Lloyd George, the minister of munitions,
a rousing demonstration yesterday to ratify their accept
ance of the compromise suggested by him for the ending
of the strike which threatened the coal supply of the na
tion. Great as the work of Lloyd George has been for
Britain during the period of his public life, it is now ad
mitted even by his bitterest enemies that his ending of
the coal strike is the greatest of all. No other man could
have done it but the man who is regarded as the political
idol of Wales.
REFUSE MUNITIONS CONTRACT.
BUFFALO, July 22.—The Republic Metalware com
pany has refused to accept a contract for eighty million
dollars’ worth of cartridges for the allied nations on the
ground that they could not conscientiously accept a con
tract to make anything for the taking of human life- Some
other companies are said to be considering similar con
tracts from the same point ot view, but the majority are
perfectly satisfied, as they believe if they did not make
the munitions someone else would.
RUSSIANS FIGHT AND RETREAT.
LONDON. July 22—The Russians are fighting desper
ately north, west and south of Warsaw, or, rather, were
fighting desperately, but have been defeated to the west
ward and are retreating on the \ istula river, fighting as
they go. They are also retreating in the Baltic region
and as it seems now the Germans are at least partially
succeeding in their efforts to take the Polish capital and
roll back the flanks of the czar's legions. ' The struggle in
that quarter is watched with intense eagerness by the
people of Great Britain, who begin to fear that the main
Russian resistance is threatened with breaking.
AEROPLA N ES BOM BARD.
PARIS. July 22.—Thirty German aeroplanes bombard
ed the railroad station at Conflans yesterday, but most
of the bombs went wild and the damage inflicted was by
no means serious. No French aeroplanes were in the
neighborhood, but the enemy withdrew when his ammuni
tion was exhausted.

Of a city that is “there;”
