TOWN IS BURIED
SLIDING MOUNTAIN SWEEPS VII.
LACE INTO RIVER.
PHYSICIANS RUSHED TO The SCENE
Their Homes Were EneuIfed
Were Left Under Masses.

buckingham, Que.-Half of the lit
tie French hamlet Of Notre Dame de
Salette, 16 miles from here, on the
Lievere river. lies buried under a
sliding mountain and at least 30 of
its small population are known to
have perished. The hamlet has no
telephone or telegraph and neither is
it on railroad Meager bits of news
OF the disaster come in by messenger
from the physicians and other rescu-
ers who were hurried there when the
first calls for aid came at early morn.
ing.
The river Lievere winds at the foot
of the hamlet and mountain towers
behind it. Spring rains for days past
have been melting the snow and ice
on the mountalnside and streams have
been coursing down to the river. At
5 o'clock Sunday morning, just as the
little hamlet began to stir for early
mass, part of the mountain started to
slide toward the river. 1t tore a path
of death and destruction on its way
ard those who were not killed when
their homes were engufed were left
buried under the mass of rock and
earth
Family Of Eleven Killed.
Camille La Pointe's house stood
first in the path of the avalanche. He
and his family of IL are known to
have perished. Eight others, whose
rames have not been obtained, are
known to be missing and in the panic
the rescuers are attempting to find
definitely how many more are miss
ing. Mrs. Des Jardins cottage also
was swept away and she, with her
two children, domestic and hired
man, are known to be buried in the
landslide.
De Salette, like many hamlets Of
its kind, rambles into gardens and
little fields on the mountainside, so
about half of it was not in the path
OF the avalanche. The sliding mass
rushed with roar and spread fan
like over part of the place and dumped
itself in the swollen stream at it's foot.
Cut on from the outside world, mes
sengers were dispatched to Roupers,
the nearest hamlet. Those who ar
rived first estimated that at least
dozen houses were crushed in the
path of the landslide. Buckingham
was appealed to, but the fight of the
messengers across the spring roads
was slow. Those first on the scene
found De Salette in panic, with the
uninjured ones packing up their be-
longings for fight.
The first messengers to Bucking-
ham ordered 25 coffins to be sent to
De Salette and all the physicians of
the town were hurried across country
with rescue parties.
Further details are very uncertain
and are coming slowly.

SECOND BEST NAVY
BRITISH DESIGNER SAYS AMERi-
CAN VESSELS EQUAL TO ANY.
RECENT CRITICISMS UNFOUNDED
In Comparing Fleets, Ensiishman
Places Uncle Sans Next to
That Of Great Britain.

Boston-In an interview published
here Tuesday, Sir William Henry
White. who was for nearly twenty
years the responsible designer of all
British warships, comments on recent
criticisms of the American navy. After
declaring that the criticisms are un-
founded on fact, and supplementing
this declaration by a long technical
explanation, Sir William says:
There Is one more thing that ]
would like to say and | think 1t Is
vital. l have known the American
navy from the start. 1t is not gen
orally known tina: the modern Ameri.
can navy started with the purchase
of two of my designs from Arm
stronYs. That was in 1885. From
these designs the Charleston and the
Baltimore were built.
THE first thing want to say in
this connection is that you have naval
architects as capable as any, in my
judgment, in the world.
THE second thing want to say Is
that your shipbuilding yards are quite
equal to any we have in their equip
ment and management and all that.
