NEW COMPANY ENTERS DISTRICT
Oueen-Calumet Announces Plans

Dr. Walter Harvey Weed, well known mining authority of New York and J. F. Cleveland, of Phoenix, sec retary of the Queen-Calumet Copper Extension. have been spending the last few days in the Warren District looking over the holdings of the com pany preparatory to installing drill ing machinery and equipment for the development of the property adjoining the Copper Queen and Warren Realty and Development Companies near Don Luis.
 Dr. Weed has made thorough eX- animation of the property, covering particularly the geology of the dis trict, and his report will probably prove of great value, not only to the Queen-Calumet. but to the entire dis trict, as it bears upon practically a virgin field on which the company may be said to be doing pioneer work.
 Development Work
 The development work will be un- der the direct supervision of Parker L. WoOdman, vice-president and gen. eral manager of the new company who was for more than twenty years associated with the underground de velopment of the Copper Queen. Mir. Woodhan's recognized knowledge of conditions in the Warren District and of CrtenaCCff11 tions will be of unlimited value to the new company and it's stockholders.
 James Wood. another old time Bis bee man, is president of the Queen Calumet Copper Extension, and his experiences as head of the smelting departments of the Copper Queen and Calumet and Arizona companies dur ing long period, as well as his con servative judgement, warrants the confidence of the public in the stabil- ity of the new enterprise.
 Financial Affairs
 The financial affairs of the compa- ny are in the hands of Charles A. Me Donald, cashier of the Citizens Bank and Trust Company, as treasurer. Aside from his successful career as a banker, Mir. Mcdonald brings to the company a practical knowledge of mining which will undoubtedly prove of great benefit in the company's op- erations.
 J. F. Cleveland, secretary of the company, was secretary of state un- der the administrations of Joseph H. Kibbey and Richard E. Sloan, former governors of Arizona. He is president of the Corporation Service Company and for the last few years has spe-

AUSTRIA -HUNGARIA
 SEWERS RELATIONS
IT IS GENERALLY UNDERSTOOD THAT A DECLARATION OF
 WAR WILL FOLLOW.

Washington.-Ranging herself uu- reseryedIy with Germany, Austria Hungary has severed diplomatic re. lations with the United States, pre- cipitating a situation which generally is expected here to lead to war.
 Baron Erich Zweidinek, the Aus trian charge, asked the State Depart ment for passports for himself, his staff, and the Austrian consul force il this country; and, simultaneously, American Minister Stovall reported from Berne that Austria had announce ed the break in relations to the Amer ican embassy in Vienna.
 Immediately the Treasury Depart ment ordered the seizure of all Aus trian merchant ships in American harbors. The Austrian crews were taken off and sent to immigration sta tions, and Americans guards put on board. The measure was explained as purely one of precaution, but it may be interpreted by Austria as sn act of war. In similar situation after the break with Germany, no ships were seized until a state of war had been declared
 Officials generally believe that soon- CT or later Bulgaria and Turkey will do so. Bulgarian Minister Panaretoff called on Secretary Lansing to ask if this government had any information from Sofia, but was told none had been received. Both Bulgaria and Turkey are believed here to be weary of the war, but German domination of the Central European alliance is ey- pected to drive them, as it drove Austria.
 Twelve ships were taken over in ports along the Atlantic and Gulf eoasts. Examination showed that the crews had damaged the machinery of practically all in the same way crews of German ships seized lGst week had done. The ships seized were: . At New York, Martha Washington and Himalaya; Philadelphia, Franco nia; New Orleans, Clara, Anna and Teresa; Tampa, Borneo; Pensacola, Lucia; Houston, Morowitz and Cam pania; Newport News, Budapest; Bos- ton, Erny.

Little Rock
 c. w. Watson, of Little Rock, state agent for the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, issued bulletins ao all county agents, urging farmer 10 grow ample foodstuffs. The bdl- letin follows:
 gro All Agents-The South is sc- riously in danger of underproducing food and feedstuffs andg overproduc- tion of cotton, and the time has come tO act and not merely to talk about what to do. The war is on us, and the business men will doubtless call apon us soon to discuss the situation. A thorough investigation should be made and an attempt to see that all farmers have planted plenty of feed and food, and by all means plant now q good spring garden.
 ''If the farmers don't have the seed, see 10 it that the bankers and other business men secure it. If they can't paS the cash, ask the business men to supply it on credit. The high price of seed is almost as dangerous to our program as the high price of cotton.
 "The business men should tour the county with the agent and warn the farmers as to the food shortage, and offer to help them by furnishing plenty of seed for the planting of food and feed. Ask the business men to help you Insist that they take steps now, as we are to face a serious shortage in the food problem. We may be un- able to get food elsewhere, and this should be your first duty to see to the planting for feed
 ''Take this matter up with the edi- tors of the papers and discuss it with fhe bankers. Have every citizen in town grow garden and help feed his family. There is a serious short age in Irish potatoes now, even great CT than was at first anticipated, and even though seed potatoes are high, we can well afford to plant then.'

MOST OF VICTIMS WOMEN AND CHILDREN-BoDlEs BADLY
 CHARRED.
3O,O0O SHELLS IN STORAGE
Detectives Say Explosion Purely Ac- cidentaI, But Officials Scout Idea Fire Started in Manufactory For
 Time Fuses.

Chester. Pa.-One hundred and twelve persons, most of the women and girls, are known to have lost their lives, and 121 were injured, by a se- ries of terrific explosions in the shrap- nel building of the Eddystone Ammu- milton Corporation at Eddystone, one mile from Chester. Many of the in- jured were fatally hurt and it is fear ed the final death list will reach 150.
 How any of the 300 or more em- ployes in the building, in which was stored approximately 30,000 shells, escaped is mystery, as there was scarcely a fragment of the structure left intact Fire added to the horror and most of the bodies were so bad ly charred that identification was i'm possible.
 Rumors of plots and arrests were numefous after the disaster, but ;all lacked confirmation. Detectives re- ported the explosion apparently was purely accidental and advanced the theory that shrapnel placed near a 4cdi1tOA DliSllt nave Cdu0Gu IL. All official of the company, however, said there never was more than half a ton of powder in the building and that this never was in bulk.
 The explosion occurred about 10 o'clock in what is known as the 10-F building, two-story structure, 75 by 300 feet. In this building time fuses were prepared, more than 80 per cent of the workers being women and girls. Probably 50 men and boys were employed in the building at the time of the blast and most of them escaped.
 The utmost confusion followed the explosion. A heavy pail of smoke darkened the entire town, which has population of about 5000. but this was soon frightened by the flames from the burning building.
 Rescue squads formed and call for assistance was sent to Philadelphia, Chester, Wilmington and other near by towns.
 The entire Chester fire department responded and ambulances from Phil adelphia and Chester were soon at the scene.
 A strong guard of Pennsylvania mi litiamen and cadets from the Penn sylvania Military Academy was thrown around the plant and every one except those assisting in the res cue work was forbidden to approach.

Chairman Denman Announces That All Plans Have Been Completed and That 100000 Tons Will Be
 Built Each Month

Washington,-The shipping boards program of building fleet of 1000 wooden ships Of 5000 to 3,600 tons each to meet the loss of tonnage by submarine warfare and thus help to defeat the German undersea cam paign has been formally approved by President Wilson. The first ship will be ready within five months and the board will call upon the treasury for from $10,000O00 to $15,O00,OOO within the next few days.
 Fifty million dollars already has been authorized by Congress for the work of the board
 Chairman Denman announced that the boards plans had been virtually completed and that tho preliminaries to the construction of the big fleet were in full swing.
 Contracts have been let with the builders, arrangements have been completed for the supply of standards ized lumber parts, the labor problem has been settled at least partially. and unless there is an unforeseen hitch by October the shipyards on the Atlantic and Pacific will De turning out tho new vessels at the rate of two or three a day to be leased to private shipping concerns.
 The great fleet will fly the Amerl- can flag and each vessel sailing to the war zone will be armed. The pro- gramme calls for the building of 200.- 900 tons of shipping monthly. The builders will be encouraged to complete the vessels speedily and plans have been made to make partial payments of yesseis where necessary from month to month.
 Revival of the eoast-to-coast trade through the Panama Canal is one of the objects toward which the board is working. Several old army trans- ports are to be put in this service shortly, and other vessels will be add- ed when they can be spared from overseas traffic. Chairman Denman said there was no foundation for pub lished reports that the board might abandon this plan.

Petrograd. Minister of Justice Ker. ensky said in an interview that if the German people would follow the Rus sian example and dethrone their em. peror, we offer the possibility of pre- liminary negotiations
 This statement was embodied in an announcement by the official news agceny which reads:
 "On Thursday, according to news from Copenhagen, Dr. Eduard David, speaking on behalf Of the majority part of the Social Democrats in the German Reichstag, declared that For eign Minister Milukoff and his sup porters were Germanophobes, and that consequently the Social Democrats based their hopes on M Kerensky tRussian minister of hIstice) and NJ Tcheidse Ca Socialist leader in the Dnma1. On this subject NJ. Kerensky made the following declaration to a party of journalists:
 From the incomplete information supplied by the press, it is difficult to form sound opinion. It all depends on knowing what are the hopes that Deputy David founds on me and M Tcheidse
 If he supposes we are going to as- sist in making separate peace he will be rudely disappointed. If, on the other hand, he hopes the German people are about to follow our ex- ample and dethrone their emperor, we can do no other than warmly applaud, for that would greatly free our hands and offer the possibility of enterting on preliminary negotiations.
 am convinced that the peoples who are engaged in this unexampled war will more easily come to an un- derstanding and more quickly obtain satisfactory results than the mon archs who are primarily responsible for this cruel carnage"
