u. SHIPBUILDING is HALTED
Twenty-Five Thousand ShipbuiIders
Lay Down Tools After Demand
Is Rejected.

San Francisco.-A company of Uni
ted States marines was landed at the
Union Iron Works docks, where 1000
men went on strike. 1t is reported
that another company has been order
ed from Mare Island to the plant, and
that the Government will take similar
action to protect the shipbuilding
plants at other bay points.
approximately $4,000 iron workers
and metal trades mechanics engaged
in war emergency construction in San
Francisco and bay cities, went on
strike, following rejection of their de-
mands for a so per cent increase in
wages. The walkout in more than 100
plants was carried out without hitch,
it was reported. Feverish eleventh
hour efforts to avert the strike by en-
ployers and representatives of the Uni
ted States Shipping Board failed Pro-
posals to arbitrate on basis of 10
per cent increase offered had been re-
jected by the Conference Committee
Of the Iron Trdtoo Council, Uompuseu
of rs unions, on whose authority the |
strike was declared.
The walkout affects more than $780,
100000 in Government shipbuilding
and engine construction contracts and |
automatically tied up other construc-
ton works. The Union Iron Works,
The MoOre-Scott Iron Works, both ship
plants, and the Pacific Foun-
Try were to close Immediately Set

TREASON DEFINED BY ROOT
Degrading Submission Is Sure to Be
Felt If America Does Not Win,
Statesman Ayers.

Chicago.-Treason to America in the
war was defined by Elihu Root, and
labor was pledged by Samuel Gompers
TO fight until world terrorism had been
overthrown at patriotic rally held
here by the National Security League
for the announced purpose of vindicat-
ing Chicago of alleged intimations of
unpatriotism. "The men who are
speaking and writing and printing
arguments against everything that is
being done to carry on the war are
rendering more effective service" to
Germany than they ever could render
in the field with arms in their hands"
declared the former Secretary of State,
amid cheers.
ut is impossible to resist the con-
clusion that the greater part of them
at heart are traitors to the United
States. AS time goes on and the char
acter of these acts becomes more and
more clearly manifest, all who con-
tinue to associate with them must
come under the same condemnation.
There are some who doubtless do not
what this struggle really
is"

WEALTH POURS into
Golfers OF ENGLAND
OTHER ALLIES AS WELL GETTING
LARGE SHARES OF WORLDS
GREAT GOLD FIELDS.
Germany Meanwhile Is Unable to Get
Any, and Thus May Be Forced
To Sue For Peace.

New York-Soon after the discov'
cry of gold in the Klondike region the
late Maurice L. Muhllman, one of the
leading authorities on the production
of precious metals and for years Off
cially associated with the United
States Subtreasury branch in New
York, said that, leaving Alaska out OF
consideration, he was inclined to
think that all of the productive gold
mines of the world had now been ex-
plotted, although some of them were
not worked to their full capacity. He
estimated that within few years the
world might look for an annual output
of gold of the value of approximately
$500 100000.
A day or two ago there came from
Washington an official statement which
reported that the gold production of
the entire world in the year 1915 was
of the value of $47O,OO0,000. That
amount was only $8,0O0,00O less than
the money value of the gold mined in
the year 1915, and the falling off is ex-
planned by the fact that the United
States did not mine quite as much
gold in 1916 as in 1915.
Since the war in Europe began the
gold mines of the world have produced
little over 81 1000, 100000 in new gold.
Of this Germany has received not one
cent directly, and only small amount,
relatively speaking, through the chan
nels of trade.
England has received considerably !
more than one-half of it, and lin this
fresh supply of gold is to be discovered
one of the reasons, perhaps the chief
reason, why England has been able to
maintain high credit while financing
her own necessities and considera-
bic part of the needs of her European
allies.
England's fresh gold received every
rear, supplemented by the enormous
mass of foreign securities, which rep
esent loans made by the citizens of
treat Britain to other countries, in a
treat measure explains her financial
trength
It is this strength which has made
t practicable and even easy for Great
Britain to secure, on the instant, large
of credits or funds in the ,
United States.

U. S. BEARS BIG PART OF COST
Appropriations and Authorizations of
Nearly Eight Billions Is Provided
in New Enlarged Measure.

Washington. - Producing figures
showing that the first year of the war
will cost the United States more than
three years have cost any ally, Chair
man Fitzgerald, of the house appro-
priation committee, opened debate on

433,02711, with pending measures call
ing for $9,164,21O,43522 bringing the
years total, estimated, up to $685.
643, 45233.
This sum represents all money ex-
pended or contracted for. In addition,
of expenditures for the
fiscal year amount to $2,363, 057,282,
making a grand total Of $2O,651, 7OO,-

RUSSIA is NOW A REPUBLIC

etrograd.-RusSia has been pro-

ment as the result of the approval o.
the idea recently expressed at the
Moscow state conference. Korniloff's
attempt to plunge the country into
civil war has been quelled, the Pre-
mier assures the new republic in his
proclamation. But great danger still
threatens the fate of the fatherland
and it's freedom as the result of the
confusion caused by the effort to stir
up rebellion, Kerensky asserts. The
title Minister and President" affixed
to Premier Kerensky's signature to
the proclamation, refers to his posi-
ton as president of the ministry, rath-
er than of the republic. The Provin-
cial Government announced that all
the affairs of state had been entrusted
to five members of the Cabinet.
At a plenary session of the Petro-
srod Council of GoIdivrs anu WorK- /
mems Deputies, which was attended |
by soldiers who were absent from the |
previous meeting, there were repassed |

and the immediate declar-
lion of democratic republic.

Town Clerk Bears War Load.

Wartime tasks have so hardened
some Of the town clerks in England
that one, at least, has protested, as
sorting that he now works from nine
o'clock in the morning until IL o'clock

add to his already multifarious duties,
he will have to go without sleep. In
his protest he gives the following list
of wartime duties to which he already
was required to attend:
National registration, wartime cook
cry demonstration, war hospitals, food
economy campaign, local flag days, ma
tional service, occasional baby weeks,
communal Kitchens allotments, pOta-
to spraying, local coal supplies, mater
nifty and child welfare, local distribu-
ton, and separation allowances.

MEANS END OF ARMY MULE
Mechanical Substitute, It Is Said, WIFI
Do Away With Need for tho
Animals Services.

| It has been said of the army mule
that he absorbed more food, endured
more blows, stood for more profanity
and performed more work than any
other creature that ever came In con-
tact with man.
Now if we are to believe certain ru-
mors In the newspapers, the time Is at
hand when there isn't going to be any
army mule. He isn't even to be taken
into the military service to maintain
a tradition, to provide veterans with
stories or to develop the art OF cuss-
ing. If our troops, like Uncle TODy's
comrades, swear terribly in Flanders
it will not be because of the long-eared,
long-legged, sure-shot kicker VINO, IN
previous wars, has worn mems tenn
pers to a FRAGILE. 1t will have to De
something else.
The substitute for the mules thews
Is mechanism that looks like a bass
drum with a pair Of wheels. 1t 10
said to be just iron and power. with
an incidental thirst for liquid fuel. IL
is warranted to pull entire trains Oh
wagons, to make armies hump to keep
up with it. Tests with it have shown
that by it's sole efforts it will carry the
provender and equipment of an entire
regiment, and think nothing OF carry
ing the regiment along too. This pos
sibly is exaggeration. But 1t Is plain
enough that the army has become
from the mule. The fell
low could do wonders, but this tractor
affair will do miracles. And that Is
what army men pray for.
We can imagine that some old SOL
diers will sorrow over the passing OF
the mule. They remember his virtues
we'll and have forgotten his teeth and
MS hind feet. Man cherishes the pic
let's time wipe out exaspera-
ion. But this is a new kind of war
md its engines must live by petroleum
md not by horse feed.-ToledO Blade.

said the man to the night clerk, "that
when ring up there you are to an

the next time this happens will report
you to the manager" The clerk was
polite and told the man that all lines
had been busy, and that he had an
swered him at the earliest possible
moment. The man at the other end
grumbled again and said he wished to
know the time. He got what he wanted

MICHAELIS HOPES FOR END
German Newspaper Quotes Statement
of Chancellor, Expressing Wishes
For Termination This Year.

Amsterdam.-'T hope the war will
be terminated this year." Chancellor
Michaelis is quoted by German news
papers as having said at Stuttgart a
few days ago. Vorwaerts, the German
Socialist organ, concludes from this
utterance that the Chancellor has
definite facts" upon which to base
his hope. The paper warns, however,
against undue optimism, saying it is
just as dangerous as pessimism.
