WASHINGTON. July 11. New army
regulations made public today reduced
the minimum weight limit for recruits
from ISO pounds to 110 pounds and the
minimum height from five feet four
Inches to Ave feet one Inch. This will
add thousands who otherwise would be

To clear misunderstanding. Provost
Marshal-General Crowder Issued a
rtatement today explaining that un
der the regulations, for the draft claim
for exemption may be filed not only
by the registered person himself, but
by members of his family or any third
party with knowledge of the facts In
his case.
WASHINGTON, July 11. Members

ing. No date will be announced until

ganized. Officials hope this may be
by the end of this week.

be said. All of th injured ar In tha
navy yard hospital.
So terrific was th blast that moat
of the bouse In South Vallejo, serosa
the atralts. facing th part of the yard
wher the magaxin was located, wer
badly damaged. Moat of them had
their front blown In and several wer
unroofed.
In Vallejo proper thousands of dol
lars worth of plate glass windows In
Georgia street the main thoroughfare,
wer shsttered and much other dam'
age was done.
The port aids of the Southern Pacific
steamer El Capltan. which was in mid
stream when the axploalon occurred
waa blown out and two doors oi the
vessel wer shattered. Six men on
the steamer wer Injured, none of them
seriously. They ar Lieutenant C.

Themagazine was located at the ex

rectly across the straits from South
Vallejo. More than a hundred men
have been employed there.
Meager advices from across the
straits indicate that several buildings
were destroyed and one building was
burned down, but these reports cannot
be confirmed. Sine the declaration

the navy yard have been carefully
guarded, and newspaper men have not
been permitted to enter except by spec

rocked and dishes shaken off shelves.
It was also felt In Oakland, Alameda

AGAINST HUN EMPIRE
WASHINGTON, July 11. China
will soon be ready and willing to draw
upon her countless hordes of men to
aid in beating Germany.
In fact, oriental diplomats today
predicted that she will enter the war
with an Initial contribution of 500,000
men.
She has 20,000,000 physically fit men
of military age, with the first 500,000
already equipped and vast national re
sources to draw upon for further
equipment.
As the orientals see It, China's par
ticipation in the war would mean her
salvation, inasmuch as it would train
her masses in tbe ways of battle and
make tbe nation strong to resist what
might threaten later Japanese aggressions.
Parliament must reassemble before
China can take any action looking to
ward actual war participation.

SON OF THE RICHEST
CHICAGO, July 10 Edward II. R.
Green, Terrell, Kauffman county, Tex
aa. aged 46; Miss Mabel E. Harrlow
Highland Park, Lake county, HI., aged
48 years.
That's the wsy It reads on the mar
riage license of the most proposed to
bachelor In the world, who forsook
bachelorhod this noon.
Colonel Green, who came here from
New Tork with his secretary, W. H
Marshall, Sunday, refused yesterday
to admit the Impending marriage to
newspaper men who were "tipped off
from New York. Late yesterday, how
ever, be and Marshall slipped out of
town to Waukegan, 111., where the II
cense was obtained. Last night the
colonel 'fessed up.
I am marrying the nest and most
sensible little lady in the world. I
am marrying a quiet little lady, whom
I can go to when I am burdened with
the troubles of the world ; I am marry
ing for a real home," was the way
Green put it
The colonel, who shares with his
sister, Mrs. Matthew Astor Wllks, the
100,000,000 estate left by their mother
Mrs. Hetty Green, met his bride when
he called at the home of her uncle,
George H. Cramp ton, with whom be
was interested In a real estate deal
15 years ago.
Miss Harlow has resided at the home
of ber aunt, Mrs. Crampton, since the
death of ber mother, five years ago.
While not shunning society, Miss Har
low has devoted most of her time to
charities, both In Chicago and New
York. The wedding took place at the
bride's borne.
Green and his bride will leave for
New York, where they will board bis
yacht, the United States, fo ra voyage
through the Caribbean.
WASHINGTON. July It -Prealdent
Wilson appealed lo Ihe country bual
neaa Intereata tonight to put aside er
ry aelflih consideration and to glv
thiwe who go out lo ofdT their Uvea
their aid to the Nation aa freely as
on th battlefields.
In a alatement addreamsl lo the coal
operators and manufacturrra b gav
aaaurancea that just prices will b paid
by the government and th public dur
ing the war, but warned that no at
tempt to extort unuiual prutlta will
be tolerated.
"Your patrlotlam," said tba president,
In his appeal, "la of th aame aelf de
nying stuff aa th patriotism of th
men dead and maimed on the fields of
Frrnce, or It Is no patrlotlam at all.
Let ua never apeak then, of profits and
patrlotlam In th aara aentenc.
"I ahall expect every man who la
not alacker to b at my aid through
out this great enterpriae. In It no man
can win honor who thinks of himself."
The president declared there must
b but one price tor the government
and for the public. He expressed con
fidence that bualneaa generally would
be found loyal to tha last degr and
that th problem of wartime price.
which, he declared, will "mean victory
or defeat." will be aolved rightly
through patriotic cooperation.
In unmeasured terma, however. Mr.
Wllaon condemned the shipowners of
the country for maintaining a ached
ule of freight ratea which haa placed
"almost Insuperable obstacles" In the
path of the government.
"The fact , la," he asserted, "that
thoae who have fixed war freight ratea
have taken the moat effective means
In their power to dfeat the armies en
gaged against Germany." ,
Coal production and other industrlca
for whose products the government baa
negotiated price agreements are not
taken up In detail by the president, his
appeal dealing only with the general
principles involved In the determina
tion of war prices.

SPIRITS THAI 10
EMBARGO IS PLACED
ON ALL FOODSTUFFS
WASHINGTON. July 8. America's
embargo, curtailing supplies to neu
trals, lest they be re-exported to Ger
many, will be effective July 15. There
after no vital foodstuffs, munitions,
fertilizers, or metals can be sent
abroad without licenses from the de
partment of commerce.
Certain congressmen strongly favor
having the president to screw down
these limitations that the neutrals
will have to align themselves with the
United Statea against the central pow
ers unless they wished to starve.
Neutrals will suffer more unless
they divert their tied-up shipping to
allied uses and likewise permit an al
lied patrol of the Scandinavian coasts,
to bag submarines, now using terri
torial waters as a safe outlet to the
sea.
8T. LOUIS. July 10 -Mr. F.stelle
Hamacley, 'spiritual bride" of El wood
V. Matlack. St. Louis capitalist, atands
ready to "spiritually divorce" hltu.
She made thla announcement here
today on her arrival from Chicago.
"I will try to aee Mra. Matlack to
day to effect a reconciliation," she
said. "It ahe will take him back and
promise to love and cherish htm then
I will pasa out of hla life forever and
our pure love ahall die the ciiild of
dream.
"I am doing thla for the aake of hla
child and home. I am doing thla be
cause I love him and put my love
above aelfish Intereata."
.Mrs. Matlack baa been quoted aa
saying she will "forgive and forget all
If he will leave 'Spooky Eatelle' and
return to her fireside." '
Matlack returned hero with Mrs.
Hamsley from Chicago but he would
not dlscuaa hla plana.
"I doubt whether Mrs. Matlack
means all ahe saya about taking him
back and forgiving him. I Sometimes
think ahe Is shamming to give us
newspaper notoriety. If when I talk
to her today she convinces me she does
not mean to take him back then I will
probbaly marry Mr. Matlack accord
ing to the conventions."
"But if she will promise me to take
him back and love and cherish him
forever then I will psas out of his life."
