HERALD,
Six Persons Killed When Magazine
Blows Up at Mare Island.
Vallejo, Cal.—A searching investi
gation was inaugurated Tuesday night
to determine the cause of an explosion
of a black powder magazine at the
Mare Island navy yard in San Fran
cisco Bay early Monday, which claimed
a total of six lives and resulted in ser
ious injuries to four persons and minor
injuries to 27 others.
Navy officers, headed by Captain
Harry George, commandant of the
navy yard, 200 yards across the chan
nel, and federal agents co-operated in
the probe. Arrests were expected, as
it was believed, although not officially
confirmed, that the blast was the re
sult of an organized conspiracy.
The dead, the names of whom were
officially announced, include Allen F.
MacKinzie, chief gunner; his wife and
two daughters, Dorothy, aged 12, and
Mildred, 8; George Stanton, a gar
dener, employed by MacKinzie, and N.
C. Damsteadt, civilian employe in the
ordnance department.
The list of wounded, none of whose
injuries it was believed would prove
fatal, included non-commissioned offi
cers, enlisted men of the United States
navy and civilian laborers.
Commandant George refused to issue
a statement as to the probable cause
of the explosion, which wrecked nearly
a dozen packing and shell houses in the
vicinity of the magazine and broke
thousands of dollars’ worth of glass in
Vallejo stores and residences, pending
the result of the official investigation.
THREATEN STRIKE IN FIELDS
I. W. W. Organizer Says 50,000 Men
Will Quit Unless Miners Win.
Chicago—Threat of a general strike
of 50,000 agricultural workers in the
wheat fields of the Northwest was
made here by Frank H. Little, mem
ber of the general executive board of
the Industrial Workers of the World.
He declared the walkout of the harves
ters was certain if the demands of
striking miners in Arizona and Mon
tana were not granted.
Little had
charge of organizing the miners who
recently quit work in those states.
“We have no interest in the war,”
Little said. “Our interest solely is
with the working class.
As I told
Governor Campbell, Of Arizona, we
will use the war just like the business
men are doing, to make a profit for
our class.
“Our organization of agricultural
workers has been under way for three
years and we have a membership of
nearly 50,000 migratory workers who
will be asked to harvest the grain this
summer. We are confident the farm
ers cannot find strike breakers to re
place them.”

DRAFT GUARD AUG. 5
Entire Militia to Be Made Available
for Foreign Duty by Proclama
tion of President Wilson.
Washington, D. C. — The last step
necessary to make the entire National
Guard available for duty in France
was taken by President Wilson Tues
day with the issue of a proclamation
drafting the state troops into the
Army of the United States August 5.
To make certain that the purpose of
the national defense act is carried out,
the proclamation also specfically de
clares the men drafted to be dis
charged from the old militia status on
that date.
In that way the constitutional re
straint upon use of militia outside the
country is avoided and the way paved
for sending the regiments to the Euro
pean front.
Prior to the application of the draft,
regiments in the Northern and Eastern
section of the country are called into
the Federal service as National
Guardsmen in two increments to be
mobilized on July 15 and 25.
Many units already are Federalized
and presumably they will be mobilized
with the other troops from their
states.
The guard from the other
states will be mobilized on the day of
the draft. The arrangement was nec
essary to provide for movement of the
regiments to their concentration camps
without congestion.
The operation of the draft law was
delayed until August 5 so that all regi
ments can be taken into the army
simultaneously. Fourteen camp sites
for the 16 tactical divisions into which
the guard will be organized have been
selected already, and the military bu
reau is preparing the railway routing
of the troops to the camps.
RECORD CROP IS FORECAST
Increase of Billion Bushels Over Last
Year Shown in Report.
Washington, D. C.—A billion bush
els increase over last year’s production
in the principal food crops is the re
sponse American farmers have made
to President Wilson’s mid-April ap
peal saying that upon them “rests the
fate of the war aid the fate of na
tions.”
The extent of the farmers’ response
was disclosed Tuesday when a produc
tion of 6,093,000,000 bushels of princi
pal food crops was forecast in the de
partment of agriculture’s July crop re
port. It shows this year’s corn crop
will be the largest in history except
one and that four and possibly five oth
er crops will make new high records.
The corn crop which, with favorable
weather from now on, may equal the
bumper yield of 1912, shows an in
crease of 541,000,000 bushels over last
year, with a total of 3,124,000,000
bushels. The acreage is 14 per cent
larger than last year.
The combined winter and spring
wheat crop will be 38,000,000 bushels
more than last year, with a total of
687,000,000 bushels.
Barley, with prospects for the third
largest crop ever grown, will exceed
last year’s production by 33,000,000
bushels, with an output of 214,000,000
bushels.
Oats will exceed last year’s crop by
201,000,000 bushels, the total produc
tion being forecasted at 1,543,000,000
bushels.
That is slightly under the record.
Improvement between now and har
vest, however, may result in a record
crop.
KEY 10 LEMBERG
FALLS IB RUSSIA
Capital of Galicia Doomed by
Advance of Russians.
GERMANS ARE ROUTED
General Kornilof Breaks 20-Mile Front
Between Halicz and Carpathians
and Take 14,000 in Week.
London — Halicz, the strategic key
to Lemberg, capital of Galicia, has
been captured by the Russians, says a
dispatch Wednesday from Reuter’s
Petrograd correspondent.
Halicz, 63 miles southeast of Lem
berg, on the Dneister river, is an im
portant railroad junction and the most
important key to the Galician capital.
It is 18 miles north of Stanislau and
about eight miles north of Jezupol,
captured by the Russians under Gen-
eraly Korniloff on Sunday.
The fall of Halicz was presaged by
the success of the Russians in break
ing through the Austro-German line
between that town and Stanislau, and
in driving the Austro-Germans to the
Lomnica river, which enters the Dneis
ter a short distance above Halicz.
Halicz was the center of much heavy
fighting last August and September,
and the Russians had captured Buko
wina and were attempting to reach
Lemberg.
Stanislau was captured by the Rus
sians in August, but they failed to
take Halicz after engaging in furious
battles at Mariampol and Monasterzys-
ka and forcing the Austro-Germans to
retire between the Zlota-Lipa and the
Dneister. In September Halicz was
bombarded by the Russian artillery,
but attempts to storm the town were
unsuccessful.
The fall of Halicz probably will
mean that the Austro-Germans must
retire from the present line along the
Zlota-Lipa from northeast of Halicz
through Brzezany and. Zlochof to
Brody, in order to protect Lemberg.
Petrograd—General Korniloff’s oper
ations in Galicia along a front of 20
miles have broken the Austro-German
front between Halicz and the Car
pathians and already the Russian cav
alry has pressed forward for a distance
of 16 miles.
To the west of the Dneister, as a re
sult of the western forward movement,
Halicz has been hemmed in from the
south and southwest, and the Russians
now are menacing the Halicz bridge-
head.
From July 2 to 8, inclusive, General
Korniloff took 14,000 prisoners and 55
guns, of which 12 were heavy pieces.
Hoover Denies Report but Says Specu
lative Buying Will be Stopped.
Washington, D. C. — Reports that
the food administration will fix an ar
bitrary price of less than $2 a bushel
to the grower for the 1917 American
wheat crop drew from Herbert Hoover
this denial :
“It is not the intention of the food
administration to fix the price for
wheat, nor is it expected that it will
have any such powers.
If the food
bill passes congress, however, we cer
tainly will not stand for speculative
buying.”
Mr. Hoover and his associates are
said to feel that the export price
should be maintained at a figure that
will be an inducement to farmers to
increase production.
"Therefore I take the liberty of stat
ing very candidly my own view of the
situation and of the principles which
should guide both the Government and
the mine owners and manufacturers of
the country in this difficult matter.
“A just price must, of course, be
paid for everything the Government
buys. By a just price, I mean a price
which will sustain the industries con
cerned in a high state of efficiency,
provide a living for those who con
duct them, enable them to pay good
wages, and make possible the expan
sions of their enterprises, which will
from time to time become necessary
as the stupendous undertakings of this
great war develop. We could not wise
ly or reasonably do less than pay such
prices. They are necessary for the
maintenance and development of in
dustry; and the maintenance and de
velopment of industry are necessary
for the great task we have in hand.
"But I trust that we shall not sur
round the matter with a mist of senti
ment.
Facts are our masters now.
We ought not to put the acceptance
of such prices on the ground of patriot-
ism.
Patriotism has nothing to do
with profits in a case like this. Pa
triotism and profits ought never, in
the present circumstances, to be men
tioned together. It is perfectly proper
to discuss profits as a matter of busi
ness, with a view to maintaining the
integrity of capital and the efficiency
of labor in these tragical months,
when the liberty of free men every
where and of industry itself trembles
in the balance; but it would be ab
surd to discuss them as a motive for
helping to serve and save our country.
“Patriotism leaves profits out of the
question. In these days of our supreme
trial, when we are sending hundreds
of thousands of our young men across
the seas to serve a great cause, no true
man who stays behind to work for
them and sustain them by his labor
will ask himself what he Is personally
going to make out of that labor. No
true patriot will permit himself to take
toll of their heroism In money or seek
to grow rich by the shedding of their
blood. He will give as freely and with
as unstinted self-sacrifice as they.
When they are giving their lives will
he not at least give hie money?
"1 hear it Insisted that more than a
ju t prite, more than a price that will
sustain our Industries, must be paid;
that It is necessary to pay very liberal
and unusual profits In order to ‘stimu-
late' production: that nothing but
pecuniary rewards will do—reward*
| are covered by war risk insurance.
"I know and you know what response
to this great challenge of duty and of
opportunity the Nation will expect of
you, and I know what response you
will make. Those who do not respond,
who do not respond In the spirit of
those who have gone to give their lives
for us on bloody fields far away, may
safely be left' to be dealt with by opin
ion and the law, for the law must, of
course, command those things. I am
dealing with the matter thus publicly
and frankly, not because I have any
doubt or fear as to the result, but only
in order that In all our thinking and
in all our dealings with one another
we may move in a perfectly clear air
of mutual understanding.
“And there Is something more that
we must add to our thinking. The pub
lic is now as much part of the Govern
ment as are the Army and Navy them
selves. The whole people In all their
activities are now mobilized and In
service for the accomplishment of the
Nation's task in this war. It Is in such
circumstances Impossible justly to dis
tinguish between industrial purchases
made by the Government and industrial
purchases made by the managers of
Industries, and it is just as much our
duty to sustain the industrials of the
country with all the industries that
contribute to Its life as It Is to sustain
our forces In the field and on the sea.
We must make prices to the public the
same as the prices to the Government.
Prices mean the same thing everywhere
now. They mean the efficiency or the
Inefficiency of the Nation, whether it
is the Government that pays them or
not. They mean victory or defeat. They
mean that America will win her place
once for all among the foremost free
nations of the world, or that she will
sink to defeat and become a second-
rate power alike in thought and in
action. This Is a day nt her reckoning,
and every man amongst us must per
sonally face that reckoning along with
her.
“The case needs no arguing. I as
sume that I am only expressing your
own thoughts—what must be in the
mind of every true man when he faces
the tragedy and the solemn glory of
the present war for the emancipation
of mankind. I summon you to a great
duty, a great privilege a shining dig
nity and distinction. I shall expect
every man who Is not a slacker to be
at my side throughout this great en-
terprise. In it no man can win honor
who thinks of himself.”
The Clerical party is the largest in
the reichstag. Hitherto it has worked
with the Conservatives in giving the
government a majority.
Washington, D. C.—In light of evi
dence brought out by the senate com
mittee on interstate Commerce, show
ing beyond question that the coal bar
ons have been “holding up” the Amer
ican public and extorting wholly un
justifiable prices for coal, the adminis
tration must force down the price or
admit its inability to cope with the
coal trust.
What instrumentality the adminis
tration will use in attempting to fix a
reaosnable price for coal will soon be
determined, but it will not be the Fed
eral Trade commission, if congress is
asked to name the regulating body.
In 1916 the cost of producing bitu
minous coal in the Eastern fields was
$1.50 per ton at the mouth of the
mine. This coal in June was selling
at $5.50 and $6 per ton. The cost of
production advanced during the past
year 25 to 50 cents a ton.
Yet the
coal barons have been charging $3.50
and $4 a ton for their product, at the
mine, above what they admit to be the
cost.
From the same coal producers came
the frank admission that they had put
up the price because they had deter
mined to get “all the tarffic would
bear,” and had determined also to
make up during the war for “lean
years” during the past decade.
