stroyed by Terms Of YER

HELIGoLAND, Sept. 10.--Every day Is
Fourth of July celebration on the lit
tie rocky island of Heligoland. And mol
safe and sane celebration at that.
At sunrise the 1000 German workmen
who are dynamiting the pet fortress ano
naval harbor OF Kaiser William III. set
OFF their blasts. The bombardment keeps
up. throughout the day. Charges of TNI
mako the water In the naval harboi
spout up like geysers in the Yellowstone
Park, and the big gun pits on the sum-
nit OF the rocky cliff give an occa-
sional roar like Vesuvius and belch Out
great clouds Of black smoke and pull
verified concrete.
For two years more the work OF
devastation will continue night and day
It took Kaiser William II. eight years
to build the great fortress and naval
harbor which defended the Kiel Canal
and afforded Germany's navy base
close to England. 1t cost Germany 5O,-
600, 900 OF gold marks. The cost OF dis
mantling It. which Germany also must
bear, in accordance with the terms OF
tho Versailles treaty. will probably be
about 1000. 900 of gold marks.
Heligoland proper is a stony triangle
less than q mile long and scarcely a
quarter Of a mile wide In the broadest
section. 1t stands nearly 200 feet above
the waters of the North Sea at point
81 miles northwest OF Cuxhaven, the en-
trance to the Kiel Canal. The walls OF
the island are practically perpendicular,
but at its southeastern end is a small
beach upon which the German navy
erected q coaling and oil station, fresh
water reservoirs, seaplane sheds and
docks. Here also was constructed a naval
hnrbor thoroughly protected by sea
walls which was capable of accommo-
dating eight or ten destroyers or cruisers
and an unlimited number Of submarines.

Hopeless Aspect Seen.

The success of any union effort in any
part OF the country to force increased
wages or special working conditions OF
the unions own choosing on the mine
owners is well nigh hopeless from the
start so long as this great reservoir can
be drawn upon.
The leaders OF the instruction, who
to-day show signs OF breaking out on a
large scale again along the Kentucky
West Virginia border. demand the right
70 send their organizers and agitators
into these non-union fields. They de-
clare. apparently with considerable JUS
tification that the county authorities
and the state authorities Will not permit
them to exercise this right
They insist that II chance were
offered the non-union miners of these
counties would gladly join the union.
something which still remains TO Do
proved and Of which there Is certainly
no surface evidence.
THE New York HERALD correspond
ent found no individual or heard or any
who would raise his voice here In defence
Of the tactics Of the union miners, or
who was indignant because he was be-
ing intimidated by anybody. That many
miners here would join the unions u
local public feeling was not so strongly
against It is altogether likely. but there
Ia no apparent indication that any con-
siderable portion of them would do so.
The men Of Logan, Mlngo, Mcdowell
Cabell and nearby counties who fought
back the 5000 attacking miners for
eight trying days and nights, shedding
much Of their own blood and losing their
lives to make good their slogan. They
shall not pass" are certainly not all
runmen and thugs, as the mine leaders
contend. They came from every walk
OF life. They were lawyers, merchants,
doctors. farmers. non-union miners and
clerks. They were all volunteers and
served without pay.
The cost Of the struggle to Logan
county has been estimated at $35,000 a
day, or something like s2so,000 for the
whole battle. Special trains were hired
automobiles rented and entire hotels
taken over. Thousands OF dollars were
spent In modern rifles, machine guns
ammunition and food supplies. Tele.
graph lines were run for miles through
the mountains like a great fan to the
outposts on the fighting front.
Union miners assert that the coal op-
orators are paying or will pay for all OF
these things. Probably they will. No
body denies that in Logan county.
The outside observer is impressed Will
the fact that the great struggle Is be.

ROADS LOSE TO SEA LINES.
Spread Between North Atlantic
and California Rates Widens.

The spread between all-watcr and all
rail rates to and from North Atlantic
ports and California ports on the Pa
cific has widened SO much that railroads
have lost the major porto. Of the busi-
ness originating from or destined TO
points removed many miles from the
seaboard. according to information OBJ
tained yesterday in the financial dis
trict.
Eastbound rates covering wide range
OF commodities are generally lower than
are westbound tariffs, and the result Is
that the return haul from the Atlantic
Is economical for greater distances than
1t Is from the Pacific. California prod
ucts, II Is said. are being shipped through
the Panama Canal 70 North Atlantic
ports and distributed as far inland as
Chicago.
Railroad officials ascribe the loss of
business to delay in making rate changes
and the inability OF roads TO employ
labor at the market.

By Staff Correspondent OF THE NEW YoRx

LOGAN, w Va, Sept. 10.--Why did
six thousand union miners in
the rich bituminous coal regions OF
West Virginia deliberately defy the au-
thorities of sovereign State. and the
constitution and laws OF the United
States. rise In armed and organized re-
bellion and attempt to force their way
with rifle and machine gun bullets into
peaceful community that was de-
termined to keep them out at any cost ?
The answer to this question Is being
doubtless sought gravely by millions of
law abiding American citizens who have
been astounded by the eight day battle
between the union miners OF Fayette.
kanawha and Boone counties on the one
side OF Spruce Fork Ridge and the citi-
zens Of Logan, Mingo, Mcdowell and
other counties ON the other side. Only
by the Intervention of 1000 Federal
troops was the insurrection suppressed
yesterday.
The regular soldiers were not fired
upon by the miners who ceased their
operations and daid down their arms
when the soldiers appeared. But they
had kept up the battle In the mountain

7 J. {. ENTRIES FINISH IN BIG
 SPEEDWAY RACE

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. May 90. - Tommy Milton, world champion speed racer. Ioday piloted an Ameri- can car to the finish line first in the ninth renewal of the interna, tional racing classic, the 5O0-mile dash around the Indianapolis speed way. His victory came through a beautifully driven race which was won after Ralph de Palmar. popu- lar fayorite, had set. such terrific pace during the first 250 miles that all but one of the foreign-made cars. including his own. were forced from the track through mechanical trou- bles or minor accidents.
 Of the g entrants, only eight com pleted the 800 miles and seven of these were American made machines Ralph Mulford. driving another American built machine. was award ed ninth position without finishing, after all others had dropped out.
 New Track Record
 Milton established ai new track record fer cars of not more than 1Ss cubic inches piston displacement by completing the 500 miles m five hours. 34 minutes and 44.65 seconds for an ayercre Of S9.62 miles per hour. The fastest time made in the races was but 2O-l00 of mile faster per hour. this mark being made by de Palmer in 1915.
 The victory brought Milton nearly S36.OOO in prize money, S2O,OOO for first place, s6.2OO in lap prizes and the balance in special prizes.
 Less than four minutes behind Milton came Roscoe Sarles. who had
