RISK LIVES TO SAVE PLANT

Self-Sacrifice to Stay Blaze.

Heroic Self-Sacrifice that demanded

pumping station and his assistant were
at work in the pumping house when

full blast.
To stay the conf1agration and save
the oil works, which We're so impor-
tant, two measures were necessary, to-
stop the pumps and turn off the oil
at the furnaces, which meant almost
certain death, as to reach the boilers
it was necessary to dash through an.
oil Shower-bath and reach the fur
naces dripping with Oil. The superin-
tendent never hesitated about taking
the risk, as the existence of the whole
station was at stake. Dashing through
the oil cloud he succeeded in turning
off the oil cock, but the atmosphere,
saturated with oil at that moment,
caught fire and he was enveloped in
the conflagration. His assistant was
successful in turning off the pumps,
but he was also caught in the flames
and interned in the burning pump
house. He escaped through window
and Immediately proceeded in search
Of his colleague, and found him still
alive, but a charred mass, close to the
boilers. He died shortly afterwards.

REGULARS NOW
ENTIRE MILITIA FORCE is TAKEN
INTO FEE ERAL w A r
SERVICE.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 1.-THE last
of the national guard, numbering ap'
proximately 100000 men, was drafted
into the federal service by presidential
proclamation yesterday and became
subject to orders for overseas ser
vice.
Out Of this army the next large ex-
peditionary force will be raised. A
number OF small regular cont,ngents
will be sent to France, however, be-
fore the first national guard army is
sent to the fighting lines.
TOTAL FORCE 453, 900.
With the $4,000 troops called out
yesterday the total of national guard
troops is estimated at 100000. Actual
figures are not in the hands OF the war
department, since complete reports OF
the last few weeks recruiting cam
paigns are lacking.
When the last of the present force Is
mustered in and the present strength
is learned, enough men will be added
by the draft to bring all present organ
izations to war strength of $4,000.
IOWANS LEAVE SOON.
Departure of the troops called out
Sunday probably will be delayed until
about September 1. as the camps to
which they are assigned will not be
ready much before that time.
The war department is making all
preparations to send the eleven divi-
sions called out on July Is and July
rs to camp Aug. Is, though formal or
ders for enrichment Of the troops on
or about that date have not yet been
issued. These include the Iowa guards

FOR LENGTH OF WAR

viewing the three years Of the war, is
quoted by Vcrwaerts as saying:
III. nevertheless, these unexampled
German successes which in earlier
times would long ago have brought
peace have not carried us any
further it is because the worlds
political and economical situation
operates only in fear Of our enemies
who have been able to enlist help
from their evergrowing number Of
allies. This aid has enabled them to
carry on the war until the present
day and SO it has come about that our
soldiers really have been cheated out

A remarkable story Is told con-
corning the cool bravery of one of

excellent one for the purpose. The

but only twice during the day did
the observer leave his post. Once he
did 80 to report that the top of his
periscope had been carried away by

casion he told his battery commander
over the telegraph wire that the
Boches had forced him out for few
minutes by throwing part of an
adjacent building upon that in which
his post was located His devotion to
duty under constant peril enabled
gunners to continue their work on a
day when airplane observation was
impossible.

TO CUT COAL PRICES

Chicago, Aug 6.-When the Illinois
State Council of Defense meets here
tomorrow, Levy Mayer, chairman of
the committee on law and legislation
Will propose conference of governors
OF eight middlewestern states to dis.
cuss uniform action to fix coal prices.
Mr.. Mayer has been delving into the
laws Of these states and will have a
report ready as to what powers the
states have. The states interested are
Indiana. Ohio, Missouri Kentucky,
Iowa. Wisconsin, Michigan and Hi
nois.
A strong argument Of coal operators
has been that action by one state
alone in lowering prices would give I'M
fair advantage to operators Of other
states. Mr.. Mayer hopes that the gov
ernors will be able to find way to
meet this argument

ton. All the participants obviously
were convinced that the decision
which was to be reached meant Rus
sia's regeneration or her ruin.
In conversation with the Associate
Press correspondent. who was permit
ted to be present. the ministers declar-
ed the conference to be the most mo-
mentous event in the history of the
empire since 1913, when, during the
troublous times of the Polish war and
internal anarchy. the election OF the
first Romanoff by similar conference
of notables at Moscow saved the coun-
try from dissolution.
ALL LAUD kERENSkY.
The debate resolved itself into a
series of panegyrics of the absent Ker.
ensky. who was acclaimed the only
man invested with the qualities neces-
sary to restore order while preserving
liberty.
Foreign Minister Terestchenko de-
clared that peace was uncomfortable,
that Russia must prepare to tight
throughout the winter and that Pre-
mier Kerensky alone possessed the
confidence of the nation.
