ALLIES TO CONSERVE SUPPLIES
PEOPLE FORCE CHIEF
NAME PEACE AIMS
AMSTERDAM, July 9.--The Ger
man authorities are quite unable to
conceal the growing dislike of the
Germans to continue the war and
the trouble experienced in making
ihe people face the steadily intensi
fying hardships which are now the
daily lot of the masses. News is
getting out despite the Censors.
The people are about to force
von Bethman Hollweg to make de
finite peace statements as to peace
aims, together with the introduction
of sweeping electoral reforms.
The Germans contend that had
Germany not had such reactionary
electoral laws they could have easily
got the Russians to make a separate
peace. But with the leading Ger
man statesmen and generals com
mitted to a conservative electoral
policy and with most of them alsc
shouting for retention of the con
quered territory and indemnities
the Russians as a matter of sell
preservation were bound to con
tinue the fight.
These arguments the government
especially the civil officials, are
daily finding more and more un
answerable, but the war party is
just as resolute as ever. Field Mar
shal von Hindenberg in a recent
speech addressing the Reichstag
scoffed at the idea of peace without
indemnities and annexations. “We
have many enemies”, he said, “bi.t
not too many. We will ecentua’ly
win and we will win with our own
deeds and not with our mouth..
There arc too many politicians wisu
to advise the soldiers’’.
WITNESS TELLS OF
HIS EXPERIENCES
SAN FRANCJSCO, July 9.—The
most positive testimony yet given
in the Mooney case was that sworn
to by Louis Eriss of Oakland for
the defense today in a very clear
manner tending to confirm the. testi
mony ol others who scout the bomb
in the suitcase theory of the prose
cution. This testimony today < in
dorsed that of the state medical exper
who concluded since al the wounds
were from above do>vnwards that
the missile exploded in the air as it
fell to the side walk.
The man who was called in the
defense of Rena Mooney swore that
he stood sixty-five feet from the
scene of the explosion. He saw a
man climb a fireescape and then saw
a block of some kind flying through
the air a moment before ti e explo
sion.
This testimony corroborates the
claim that there was no bomb in a
suitcase. Judge Seawall in the
trial this afternoon handed down
an important decision relative to
the admission of certain evidence.
He ruled that the prosecution might
he allowed to show an attempt by
the defendants to cause a street car
strike in Sacramento. The detec
tives testimony showing this would
be admitted as in connection with
the Hillings case and his arrest
there, to prove the acquaintance of
the defendant Rena Mooney with
other alleged plotters. The defense
was astonished at this ruling and
noted an exception.

the subject of conflicting opinions,
but it is agreed by all that he fiiied
a very difficult position in any
event.

MAY APPLY EMBARGO
FOR SIXTY DAYS
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 9.
Th>- indications are that President
Wilson will apply a sixty da> em
bargo on all foodstuffs, fuel, and
munitions to all neutral countries.
The shipments will be stopped in
order to conserve supplies for tlie
use of the United States and the
Entente Allies. The absolute prohi
bition of shipments of any kind
through neutrals from the United
States to the Teuton nations will
be much more rigidly enforced.
The Holland Minister makes the
statement this evening that the
Dutch people are now on rations
and they will surely starve if the
embargo is enforced.
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 9.—
Many Congressmen view with un
qualified approval the executive’s in
tention to enforce an embargo ov
food destined for other nations than
the Allies. They would go even
further than this and have the in
bargo permanently enforced aga'nst
any nation which failed to align
itself with America.
They contend that in effect these
nations which are not lining up
with the* United States are potenti
ally enemies and most of the im
ports to those states from Ametica
have been finding their way directly
or directly into enemy channels,
this is especially the case with wo
nations which are not mention'd tor
obvious reasons.

tlurty-one are injured, four cf
whom will probably die. The e>
plosicti occurred within th" powder
magazine of the navy yard when
men were working on the tores in
the vicinity, but as to how it actual
ly did happen is so far unknown,
or is being maintained secret by the
officials pending their reports being
sent into the Department.
The violence of the explosion was,
intense. Windows were shattered
in all directions and the explosion
was clearly distinguishable at lone
distance from the scene.
There wove of court; the usu.r
reports of Teuton soy activities, inti
there is no foundation for any of
these reports which as far as can no
ascertained arc wholly irresponsible
and conjecture merely.
A full investigation will be made
by the Navy Yard Officials and the
cause of the explosion will then he
determined with reasonable degree,
of certainty.
This is the first fatality of the
kind in ibis Navy Yard.
POLICE ARREST THUG

arrested a man today who is said
to he the thug who has been slugg

Little can be gleaned from the
police authorities on the matter, al
though they aro confident that they

The slugging and attacking of
women has caused grave anxiety
among the women of this city ami
many are afraid to he out after
dark without escorts.
