F. Robert Muller was arrested some
time ago together with Anton Kuepferle

invisible ink. Both Muller and Hahn
were convicted and Muller was sentenc-
ed to death while Hahn was sentenced
to seven years penal servitude. Kuepferle
committed suicide while his trial was in

Sir Arthur Markham, Liberal, who said
that if Mr.. Lloyd George was not going

Ell Centre, Calf, June 23.-Sharp
earthquake shocks today centered the
anxiety of Imperial Valley settlers on
the head gates Of the great irrigation
system which had transformed nearly
100000 acres of desert. Tonight the
intakes Of Colorado river, near Yuma,
and the Roadway at Sharps were re-
ported safe, although the Sharps head
ing. from which branches spread out
into the valley like the tines Of pitch
fork, was shaken and sagged.
Engineers reported that another
shock as severe as the one which last
night upset the little cluster Of towns
in the valley and cost half a dozen
or more lives in the Mexican border
town Of Mexicali, undoubtedly would
wreck the works there.
A break reported in Alamitos canal,
one Of the waterways Of the system,
can be repaired without much damage
"st. Andrea. Fault"
While scientists described last
nights shocks as resultant Of I'M
known forces" they appeared to agree
that it lay along the line Of what is
known as the San Andreas Fault" in
the earth's formation, which was in
volved in the North Central Califor-
mia earthquake Of 1906.
Damage estimated at 100000 was
done in the district extending roughly
from the shoulder of the Cocopah
mountains Of Lower California to San
Bernardino and Needless. California, on
the north, Yuma on the east and San

London, June 23.-s.46 P. M.-David
Lloyd George, the minister of NUM-
tons, mas given British labor seven
days in which to make good the
promise of its leaders that men will
rally to the factories in sufficient
numbers to produce a maximum sup
ply Of munitions of war. This was
the most striking statement in the
new minister's speech in the House
Of Commons today in outlining the
munitions measure which is designed
to control not only the output. but the
men responsible for the output. The
first of the seven allowed days will
begin tomorrow and with it's dawn
will be launched a great campaign to
recruit the workers.

George in his speech" and told them
if an adequate supply of labor could
not be secured, compulsion was in
evitable. The union representatives
answered, Give us a chance to sup
ply the men needed in seven days;
If we cannot get them we will admit
that our case is considerably weak

THE seven days will begin tomor

There will be no age limit TO the
men enrolled: they will not wear uni

time to the work and they will re-

are working for king and country.
The munitions bill makes strikes and
lockouts illegal; provides for compul-
sorry arbitration, limits the profits OF
employers; creates a voluntary army
of workmen pledged to go wherever
they are wanted, and contains other
provisions which will give the minis
ter full powers to carry out the plans
he has devised to develop the produc-
