  We have analyzed the far-UV spectrum of two Galactic O4 stars, the O4If+
supergiant HD190429A and the O4V((f)) dwarf HD96715, using archival FUSE and
IUE data. We have conducted a quantitative analysis based on the two NLTE model
atmosphere and wind codes, TLUSTY and CMFGEN. We have derived the stellar and
wind parameters and the surface composition of the two stars. The surface of
HD190429A has a composition typical of an evolved O supergiant (N-rich, C and
O-poor), while HD96715 exhibits surface N enhancement similar to the enrichment
found in SMC O dwarfs and attributed to rotationally-induced mixing. We find
that homogeneous wind models could not match the observed profile of O V1371
and require very low phosphorus abundance to fit the P V1118-1128 resonance
lines. However, we are able to match the O V and P V lines using clumped wind
models. We find that N IV1718 is also sensitive to wind clumping. For both
stars, we have calculated clumped wind models that match well all these lines
from different species and that remain consistent with Halpha data. These fits
therefore provide a coherent and thus much stronger evidence of wind clumping
in O stars than earlier claims. We find that the wind of these two stars is
highly clumped, as expressed by very small volume filling factors, namely
f=0.04 for HD190429A and f=0.02 for HD96715. In agreement with our analysis of
SMC stars, clumping starts deep in the wind, just above the sonic point. The
most crucial consequence of our analysis is that the mass loss rates of O stars
need to be revised downward significantly, by a factor of 3 and more.
Accounting for wind clumping is essential when determining the wind properties
of O stars. Our study therefore calls for a fundamental revision in our
understanding of mass loss and of O-type star winds. (abridged)
