Cumberland, Jan. 15.-Huddled in
rude .Shacks and about blazing camp
+ fires, hundreds of flood refugees last
night watched and waited in the West
Virginia hills while the northern
branc: or the Potomac river swollen
and icy flood, swept through their
homes in the towns in the valley be-
low.
A wall of water starting from the
broken dam Of the West Virginia Pulp
and Paper company, on St0ney Greek,
moved down the Potomac inundated
the town of Schelt, W. Va, where the
two streams met and started flood
wave laden with wreckage and ice
down the Potomac valley.
Warnings of the approaching flood
sens t\e residents OF the small towns
along the river scurrying to safety in
the hills. Rumors that several were
caugnt in the flood waters at Shaw,
w. Va, twenty miles from Schelt, was
unconfirmed and was the only report
ed casualty.
The flood warning emptied the town
of Shaw and sent many residents of
Blaine. Harrison, Kitzmiller and 9th.
er places in the path of the water,
hurrying to the ridges.
The flood wave had apparently ex-
pended its energy in a mad twenty.
mile dash down the valley. Of Stony
Creek from the dam to Schelt. This
valley was practically uninhabited.
The big dam which impounded the
lake five miles long, mad been weak.
ening several days. 1t began to crum.
BILE last night and warnings were sent.
At noon Thursday the waters carried
away the greater part Of the face of
the dam. Late last night the waters
were subsiding. The estimated dam.
age along the path of the flood was
two hundred thousand dollars.

WAR BULLETINS
SEVEN RAIDS ARE:
 MADE BY POLICE

With Chief of Police Martin Easan leading, Detectives McGhl, Christian. Alexander and Williams made seven raids in various parts of the city last night. About a score of prisoners re- suited from the raids.
 There was a large gallery in police alley watching for the arrivals as the patrol made nasty trips about Il o'clock last night. The word had gone ahout that the "chief" was raiding and the crowd about the city jail was augmented by the presence of several bah players, lawyers and newspaper men. The arrival of patrol load of prisoners was she signal for cheers.
 Within the jail the hum of industry could be heard as the warden and his assistents hastily searched the incoming prisoners and made records of .her names and effects.
 The last patrol load to come from the raiding squad brought in a large quan- tity of liquor. It was captured at negro dance hall.
 At 12 o'clock Chief Eagan retired to lis home and the raiding squad ceased it's activities.

ALABAMA FAIRS ID SHOW CONTAINERS"
Uncle Sam Will Show Parcel Post Articles at Fairs in
 Chiffon and Tuskegee

Washington. September 7.-tSpecial.) ] So, when the people pop-eyed with wonder, see strange sights at the coun- ty fairs at Chiffon and Tuskegee they may be relieved to know that the odd articles are ,"containers' for sundry soods to be shipped by parcel post. said containers being exhibited at the urgent and express request of the postoffice department. Already in ad- vance Uncle Sam is advertising them as striking and novel features and like theSenthusiastic press agent says they 'are worth the price of admis- sion in themselves.
 'The exhibits,s explains the postof- of the farm-to-table plan of direct ex- change between farm and city, <and an mediate expansion of this service is foreseen.''
 Further says the department, in all the exhibits prominence will be given to samples of the "aproved types" of containers for the transmission of per ishable farm produce through the mails. Experience has shown, it adds, that much still remains to be done by way of imprcssing upon the farmers the necessity of properly packing food shipments in suitable containers.
 Thus, rubber boxes, lined with wool and cotton. may ebe suggested for the shipment of eggs. unless incubators might be better for longsdistances. The homely cabbage may he packed with little care, as having great powers of resistance, but each onion might be crated by itself. that linked sweetness may be long drawn out
 Already Postmaster General Burle- son has been informed that such ex- hibits will be made features of S9 fairs ia a1 states, of which two win be in Alabama He hopes that the managers of still more fairs may respond to his circular letter and that the campaign of education may be carried to each corner of the nation--to every nook and cranr>s Sf the land.

BRITISH CRUISER STRANDED, REPORT;
 CASE A MYSTERY
tContinued from Page on.,

British pursuers at the time the war begun and sought refuge in the Dar- dane1les. Later the ships were said to have been sold to the Turkish govern ment
 Diplomats were at a loss to explain the Berlin message. They believed it impossible that the Warrior could have been attempting to escape from the Bosphorus as Turkey has mined the straits and the ships would not have entered. Had the Goeben been allowed to go out and engage the Warrior, it was said, it would be a direct viola ton of neutrality by the Turkish gov 'ernment if the ship still flies the Ger man flag and virtually a declaration Of war on the allies. If the Goeben is under the Turkish flag it would have been an act of war.
 No indication that Turkey had de- clared war was received from other sources. A message from Constanti- nople today to A. Rustem Bey, Turkish hmba ssador. contained no mention of the Warrior and the ambassador said it conclusively proved that no declar- .ation of war had been made. though lie did not give out the text.
 Great Britain has been expecting a declaration of war from Turkey, 1t was said for many days. The embassy here, however, had no official informa- tion IS to the Warrior.
