The chief causes of damage are the

Of the interior. There is a blowing over

circumference; and a suction by the
interior vacuum. The pounding drives

An Uncomfortable Exit.
Glass in windows is generally broker

about an inch Or less in width around
the sash, making an uncomfortable
form for exit of occupants of the room

buildings involving the use of mortar

that the mortar and bonding are good

the large loss of life happened were Of

Small Percentages Killed.
Frame houses received much shelter
from large brick structures to the

Such local shelter seemed to have much
more value than any range or hill, as

SENSATION COMES

Persons Convicted of Accepting
Brides From Krupps Are

Berlin. August e.-The sensational
War Office had accepted brides from
the krupp Company in return for milf
tary documents which were made in
the Rcichstag last April by the Socialist
deputy. Or. Karl Liebknecht came TO a
rather tame ending to-day with the
conviction by court-martinl of seven
unimportant persons connected with
the ordnance board, of whom the high
est ranked only as Junior leutenants.

All the convicted men, with the en-

The courts decision asserts that the
most unfortunate feature of the case is
the unjust suspicion cast upon German
officers and the army. The defend
ants. 1T says, were correct in believing
that the krupp Company possesses
secrets which cannot be intrusted to
any other firm. This was no excuse
however. for their criminal acts 1t ad-

that no secrets had reached foreign

senator Clapp said to-day he knew
nothing OF the facts in the case but
that II had been reported TO him that
the races were segregated in the postal
