SITUATION IN SPAIN IS
INCREASINGLY CRAVE NOW
Declaration of Martial Law Has Not
Removed the Unrest-Condition
Far From Normal.

Paris, July 3.-The situation in
Spain, far from improving, appears to
be going from bad to worse. The gray
ity of the crisis is confirmed amply
by such news are reaches Paris. The
Madrid correspondent of The Petit
Parisien, telegraphing Sunday, says
the suspension of constitutional guar
antees by the government has not re.
moved the unrest in Spain. The fact
that the heavily censored Spanish
press publishes nothing concerning
the internal situation seems to indi-
cate that conditions are far from nor
mai
Great Importance is attached in po-
li.iCal circles to two facts: First, that
the king and queen cancelled an en-
gagement to attend polo game; Sec
ond, that a special cabinet meeting
was held, at the conclusion of which
Premier Dato went to the palace and
had a long conference with the king
These circumstances have given rise
to all sorts of comment, many persons
seeing in them proof that the govern
ment had received serious news

IS FACING VERY
GREAT ARTILLERY PROBLEM
Guns and More Guns, Shells Unlimited
Will Win War. Germans Shaken
Loose by Heavy Shells.

British Headquarters in France, Jul
ly 3.-American officers who have
been studying conditions on this front,
say that they are wonderfully impress
ed with the British artillery, which
has made them mere than ever con-
scious of the immense efforts the Uni
ted States will have to make in that
direction. The American people have
been quick to appreciate the value of
great aerial fleets of battle and scout
ing planes; the air service appealed
at once to their imagination. But, af-
ter all has been said and done it has
been guns and still more guns shells
and still more shells, that have turn
ed the tide of war in favor of the en-
tente allies.
The artillery has solved most of the
problems of modern war 1t was the
artillery that blew the Germans from
their grim grip on Why ridge; it was
the artillery that shook them loose
from their nearly three years hold
on the high ground about Messines. 1t
was the artillery that shattered and
crumpled the steel and concrete de-
lenses of the Hindenburg line from
Arras nearly all the way to Queant.
It is the artillery today that is harass-
.ng and bounding the Germans until
hey are fairly dazed when the in
'antry attacks begin.
The limited depth of the battles to-
lay is due to the fact that the infan-
ry must not get beyond the protec-
ion of their artillery. 1t was with
heir enormous guns, which no other
possessed, that the Germans expected
o blast their way to quick victory in
1914
Now their military ambitions and
their military prowess are being dash
ed to pieces against the rocks of skill
ed supremacy in guns and gunners.

The life of high velocity guns at

ings of barrels. 1t is one of the most
significant phases of the war as 1t
approaches the end of the third year

with wealth of raw materials at
their disposal can make these replace
ments, while the Germans are becom-
ing more and more desperately in need
in that respect. Their artillery is
very strong at times, but the Smelling
IL which they indulge is as nothing
compared with what must be endured
by the Germans from the allied guns.

BIG SAVANNAH REFINERY
WILL START UP JULY 8
Plant Expected to Turn Out One Mil
lion Pounds of White Sugar Each
Day.

Savannah, July 3.--The o:-Icials of
the Savannah Sugar Refining corpor-
alton announce that the $2,000,00O re-
finery at Port Wentworth will begin
operation July 5.
Everything is completed at the
plant; millions of pounds of raw SUI
gar are already here, and operations
could begin today, but the refinery of
ficials decided to start the plant
Thursday, July 5, because they did not
wish to begin before July and have
this holiday stop the sugar melting
for one day just after it began.
Before next Thursday the third SUI
gar cargo, consisting of 9,75O,000
pounds the biggest shipment yet sent
from Cuba, will have arrived. This
first cargo, received three weeks ago,
was 6.500,O00 pounds, the second, re-
ceived Saturday, was 2,925,000 pounds;
these plus the third cargo, which is
expected to arrive early next week,
will bring the total amount of raw
sugar on hand to start operations with
to 19,175,0OO pounds.
Under normal conditions these nine
teen million pounds of raw sugar
would last but nineteen days. as the
refinery will turn out 100000 pounds
of refined white sugar a day. which
requires little over 100000 pounds
of raw sugar a day. But for the first
few weeks the huge plant will not
operate at full capacity and will not
turn out its daily supply of 100000
pounds.
Raw sugar sufficient to average over
a million pounds daily will be import
ed from Cuba regularly now, two of
the sugar steamers have already ar
rived and the third is on the way;
soon there will be fourth, and then
they will come into this port at inter.
walls of two weeks or ten days.

MOVEMENTS FOR OPERA
IN THE ENGLISH TONGUE
Secretary Denies That He Has Had
Controversy With Secretary Lane
Over Coal Prices.

Washington, July 4.-Secretary Ba-
ker issued statement today disclaim-
ing that there was any difference of
opinion between Secretary Lane and
himself over reduction of the price of
coal, and saying that his letter to- d.
rector Clifford, of the National Defense
Council, was written to prevent what
he regarded as popular misconcep-
ton Of what was going on in the coal
situation.
Mr. Baker explained that some pub
lished statements of the results of the
conference between Secretary Lane
and the coal operators and the agree
ment of the operators to reduce the
price of coal might be construed as
indicating that a price had been fixed
That was not the case, Secretary Ba-
ker said, and no price would be fixed
until the federal trade commission had
determined production cost. Mr.. Ba-
ker said his present information indi-
Gates that the So proposal of the OPP
orators is an exhorbitant figure. His
statement to that effect to Director
Clifford, he added, was based on this
feeling. and he was anxious that the
people should understand that the
government had not accepted such a
rate.
The attitude of Secretary Baker,
however, will not overturn the agree
ment made by coal operators. The
new price of SIS ton at the time went
into effect yesterday and will stand
until final price is fixed
The So price, George W Reed, secre-
tary of the coal committee, pointed
out today that under the tentative So
price the general public is saving from
81 to IS ton on coal costs and the
government is getting price of so
below the price to the public.

RAILWAY MEN NOT TO STRIKE IF WAR COMES
LABOR DECLARES FOR PREPAREDNESS

\
Washington, March 13.-President
Wilson today was informed by the
four big railroad brotherhood leaders
that in case of war no strike will be
called on the great railroad systems
of the country.
In a letter from the bTOtherhOOds
and which reached the white house
today, every assurance was given
that railroad trainmen will stand by
the president in event Of actual hos
tilities.
No promise was made, however,
that a strike will not be called now.
The letter declared the brOtherhoods
will meet with the railroad managers
Thursday. They will then make
determined effort to reach some
agreement. The brotherhood chiefs
hope to be successful"
The letter does not mention any
strike order to be used in the event
that the Thursday meeting fails. This
strike order, it has been reported,
sets Saturday night as the time for
starting a progressive strike,
which will begin on eastern roads
and spread to others.
Some decision as to the threatened
strike of 100000 railroad employees
on the 100000 miles of roads in the
United States was expected to be
forthcoming shortly following a sud-
denly convened meeting today Of del
egates from brotherhood locals with
the four big brotherhood chiefs.
In the event of a strike it is be-
heved conditions at this time would
be even worse, in view of high food
prices, than when strike threatened
last summer.

AS evidence of their determination
not to embarrass the government in
an emergency, brotherhood chiefs,
without argument, voted with labor
council unanimously to uphold a res -
OlutiOn expressing willingness off
100000 members of organized
labor, as represented by the broth
erhoods and the American Fedora
ton of Labor, to "do their bit and do
it with all their energy" in any ma
tionaI emergency that may arise.
Coincidental with its stand to help
out in case of war, the labor council,
presided over by Samuel GOmpers,
took a firm position against militar-
ism. In taking this stand, however,
a difference was drawn between
"miItarism" and universal service;
and it was voted also to demand that
rich and poor be treated with unequi-
vocal sameness in any universal
service plans war heads might de-
eide upon.
Council likewise voted against any
use of military in industrial disputes.
