SIX MEN ARE KILLED
IN DOCK EXPLOSION

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, May IT,
Six men were killed and several 9TH
ers seriously injured in An explosion
at the end of the Fort Brady pier.
Most Of the victims were laborers. 1t
is believed dynamite stored under the
dock exploded.
The fish hatchery and adjoining
buildings were badly damaged. Sol
diers from Fort Brady were ordered
to patrol the area swept by the explo-
sion and q military investigation was
started.
One Of the men killed was George
Cook, a member Of the GREY Of the
coast guard cutter Mackinac. The fact
that the Mackinac was some distance
from its moorings when the explosion
took place probably saved 1t from de,
struction.

London, May 1.-THE demoraliza.
ton of the Russian army and the
consequent withdrawal of German
forces from the Eastern front are
having their effect in France. The
heavy reinforcements of men and
guns which Field Marshal Won Hin.
denburg has been able to throw into
the defense of his sorely battered
lines have caused a deadlock for the
time being at least which the most
furious efforts of the British and
French have failed to break.
These first fruits OF the chaos In
Russia are the more ominous because
of the hints they offer of future pos
sibilities. The council OF soldiers and
workmen's delegates seems to have
been aroused at last to the perils OF
the course 1t has elected to follow,
but it is a question if it's awakening
has not come too late.
The soldiers in the ranks evidently
have the bit in their teeth and it re-
mains to be seen IL there is a hand
strong enough to check them from
bringing about virtual anarchy.
The hopeful side of the picture is
drawn by the multiplying signs that
the political and economic crisis in
Germany is as acute as ever. The ex.
traordinary measures taken by the
German censorship to prevent the out
side world from learning conditions
In the empire have been largely sue.
cessful, but some facts could not be
concealed.
Revolution Openly Talked.
Possibly for the first time in his.
tory, revolution and a German repub.
lie have been openly talked about in
the reichstag, and, o significant of
all, the authorities apparently do not
dare to check the growing audacity of
the radicals.
On the front In France the hard
fighting has been confined to the Bulle-
court sector and the region north of
the Scarpe, In the Arras battle area,
and to a strip about two and a half
miles In length on the western end of
the Aisne front.
Correspondents dispatches from the
B%ullecourt region report General Haig's
troops as having reclaimed virtually
all the ground they had lost within
the confines Of the ruined village and
to have established new posts west
Of B~ullecourt. AS to the fighting north
OF the Scarpe, which the British press
bureau reports as severe in character,
there is nothing In the official account
to give = clue to its definite import or

A new German attack on the French
lines was delivered along a four.kilo-

WOULD CONTROL
GRAIN TRADING
Plan Of Federal Regulation
Grows in Congress.
MAY NOT BE PROHIBITED

Legislation Likely to Follow That
Enacted in Regard to Cotton Futures,
Which Is Said to Have Worked
Successfully.
Washington, May 17.-Government
control for boards of trade dealing in
foodstuffs is gaining momentum in
Washington.
1t seems unlikely congress will pro-
hibit trading in futures, but will pass
a food control measure containing a
provision directing the president to
frame and issue regulations under
which trading may be carried on. In
other words, it will take action along
the lines of the law passed covering
cotton exchanges.
The evils in connection with unre.
strained trading in cotton and specula-
ton which seriously affected this
product have been seriously aided by
operation of the law.
The fact that the exchanges them
selves have taken steps to stop specu-
lation is counting in their favor, but it
Is pointed out it is better for them,
as we'll as for the people, to have pow
er lodged IN the federal government
under which authorities can interfere
in case OF excessive speculation which
react against the exchanges themselves
and cause public sentiment which may
result in their abolition.
Representatives of boards of trade
from Minneapolis, st. Louis, Omaha,
Chicago, New York, Duluth, Toledo
and Winnipeg, meeting at Chicago,
voted to recommend back to their re-
spective bodies that trading in flu
lures be abolished.
Chicago, May 1.-THE restriction
in wheat speculation may continue I'M
til the entire July crop is marketed.
This was intimated by J. II. Griffin,
president of the Chicago board of
trade.
The action of representatives of the
six largest grain exchanges Of the
country in setting a maximum price
for July and September until further
notice" was accepted by big dealers
and millers as having KILLED the
spectators and dealt hysteria a
death blow"
Restrictions on May corn and oats
also was extended indefinitely. In a
formal statement Mr.. Griffin referred
to the boards action as declaring mar
tial law in grain trading.
THE problem has been solved, the
cure found" he said. There Is no
famine in anything; W. have enough
wheat and can spare some to the al
lies.
"Our so called experts have intimi.
dated governments all over the world.
