TO GUARD WORKERS. HEALTH
tions in Plants Working on War
Contracts, Is Urged.

A health conservation board, CORE
spending to the general munitions
board announced by the council of ma
donal defense, is imperatively needed
to supervise health conditions in gov
eminent plants and to cooperate with
similar state boards in the regulation
of private plants under contract with
the government. DR.. Frederick Mar
tin Of the council of national defense
is thoroughly qualified to head such an
organization, says the New Republic.
No labor laws should be suspended or
modified except after investigation and
approval by this body of experts. In
deed, it would be to the best interest
Of the nation If the government could
be persuaded to make minimum stand
ards Of hours, wages and shop condi-
tons integral parts Of all munition
contracts. In war time the workers
will be willing to forego comforts and
to work nearer the margin of physical
exhaustion than in times Of peace, but
the country cannot afford the extrav-
agance Of paying for work done during
incapacity from fatigue or the further
extravaganza of urging armies of work
men toward relative incapacity by neg
lect Of proved physiological law.

GRIEF AT SPRINGFIELD REPLACES
LUST FOR VENGEANCE.
Thousands Attend Services Where

Springfield, Mo-, June 13. Baby
Lloyd Keet, whose life was the toll
exacted by abductors, has been buried.
Thousands of Springfield citizens
were at the st. Paurs Methodist Epis-
copal church where the services were
held, and in the cortege that follow
ed the little white casket to the Ma
pie Park cemetery.
Grief for the stricken father and
mother had overcome the lust for ven
geance that manifested itself, when
10000 persons parading the uptown
streets, demanded the lives of the six
persons they suspected of completely
in the crime.
J. Holland Keet, the father, and his
wife, held up bravely through the or
deal Of the afternoon. Mrs. Keet, how
ever, was under the guardianship Of
physicians during the funeral.
The holding of the funeral did not
stop authorities from the search for
those who threw little Lloyd into the
old we'll on the deserted Grenshaw
farm, eight miles southwest of here.

this county, announced the issuance

SPAIN IS FACING GRAVE CRISIS
MOST CRITICAL IN 40 YEARS SAYS
PRESIDENT OF SENATE.

Premier to Remain-Dato May
Form New Body.

Madrid, June liking Alfonso has
asked the Marquis Prieto to continue
as premier. The Marquis has prom
ised to give the king his definite an
swer after he has conferred with the
members of the cabinet.
Paris, June IA Madrid wireless
dispatch says the report that former
Premier Dato will be called upon to
form a cabinet appears to be con-
firmed. Senior Dato will take the port
folio of foreign affairs Professionally
and, according to the report, will be
succeeded by Francisco Bergamin, the
former minister of instruction.
Senior Bugallal, who was minister Of
finance in the Dato cabinet in 1918,
is mentioned as strong probability
for the same post now.
The present political crisis in Spain
was characterized as the gravest
which has arisen in the last 40 years
in statement by Senior Groizard, pres.
ident of the senate. He expressed this
opinion after a conference with King
Alfonso. 1t is thought probable that
the formation of government to sue
coed the ministry of the Marquis Pri-
etO, who with the cabinet has resign
ed, will be entrusted to the conserva-
tives with Eduardo Dato, former pre-
mier, again in power.

DIES MONIES GETS ARMY CAMP
SELECTED AS CANToNMENT SITE
BY GOVERNMENT.
Secretary Baker Chooses Location for
Training Conscripts Of Thirteenth
Divisional Area.

Washington, d. c., June 13.-Des
Moines, Iowa, has been selected as
the cantonment site for the national
army of the 18th divisional area. Fort
Smelling had been recommended by
Major General Thomas H. Barry, who
is inspecting Fort Smelling, and a
strong fight made to have the big
training camp for the conscripted
army located on the outskirts of the
Twin Cities, but the secretary of war
ruled otherwise and Des Moines is
named to be the camp site.
Secretary Newton D. Baker, when
asked regarding his action, said it
was taken ION recommendation of the
military authorities" The choice was
made finally by General Ernest Gar
lington, who refused to make any ex-
PLANTATION of his selection of Des
Moines. Secretary Baker said: "Ex-
plantations only stir up trouble and
hurt somebody's feelings, and the least
said on the question the better"
Secretary Baker said that the fact
that the territory near Fort Smelling
was wet" did not influence the war
department, as the matter of prohibit
ton is regarded as of diminishing i'm
portance in view of the powers of the
government in existing laws or pend
ing in congress.
Brigade and Regiments at Fort.
The fact that Fort Smelling is to
have a brigade of infantry and three
regiments of artillery, now in process
of recruiting, is mentioned as one of
the solaces of the Twin Cities in it's
disappointment over the awarding of
the camp to Des Moines, which also
was favored because of its more south
ern location

BOARD ASKED FOR LABOR
Gompers Urges That Men With Per-

Problems Be Named.

Washington, June H. A request
that labor men be appointed to all
exemption boards under the selective
draft law has been presented to the
provost marshal generals Office by
Samuel Gompers. 1T can readily
be SEEM said Mr.. Gompers, that If
there is not man on each of these
boards who has personal knowledge of
workers problems growing out of
their relations to industry. there will
be an infinite opportunity for injus.
tice to be done workers.
Firms in several localities have
asked for soldiers to prevent workers
trying through legitimate methods to
obtain higher wages in order that their
standards may not be lowered through
the constantly increasing costs of liv-
ing. We know then that these un-
principled, heartless employers will
not hesitate to make use of conscrip-
ton machinery to rid themselves of
undesirable workmen and thus give
such employers free hand to force
uncomfortable conditions of work and
pay"

TASK OF SURPRISING REVOLT
RESULTS IN SUCCESS WHEN
GUNS ARE REsoLuTELY
CALLED INTO ACTION.
REBELS HAD REFUSED TO
OBEY ORDERS TO DISBAND
Leaders of Revolt Are Imprisoned and
Government Rejoices Over First
Success in Inevitable Struggle
Against Anarchy-Surren-
der Follows UItimatum.

Petrograd, June 14.-The forces in
the army at the front which are loyal
to the provisional government have
had their first test of strength with
disloyal pacifists and have won a not
able victory. Some days ago Lieut..
General Stcherbatcheff, commander on
the Roumanian front, gave an order
to disband one infantry, one trail
leur and one Siberian tirailleur regi-
ment, all of which were considered
useless for fighting purposes.
Three regiments of another division
were ordered to take up new posi-
ton, but refused to do so, and there
upon received an order to disband.
Three Regiments Mutiny.
The soldiers openly mutinied. The
men of one of the regiments arrest
ed the commander and seven officers,
tore their badges from their uniforms
and beat two officers leaving them in
sensible on the road. A regimental
committee resolved that the regiment
should not move; thereupon a loyal
committee of soldiers of the whole,
after celebrating with the army staff,
pronounced for stern measures against
the mutineers.
A resolute general was chosen, hav-
ing under his command two divisions
of loyal cavalry, two battalions of in
fantry, one light battery, armored mo-
tor cars and airplanes, and undertook
the task of suppressing the revolt.
Guns Trained on Rebels.
When the loyalist general had &C.
cupied positions against the mutineers
he sent an ultimatum to them, de-
handing the surrender of the ring
leader; that they take up positions as
ordered and serve faithfully in the
future.
The mutinous soldiers attempted to
negotiate, but at the last moment
their leader melted them to new re-
sistance. The loyalist general imme-
diately ordered his guns into action,
whereupon the rebels Internationally
accepted the ultimatum. Their lead
ers were imprisoned.
There is great rejoicing in govern
ment circles over the first success in
the inevitable struggle against the
forces of anarchy.
