PRANK PLAYED BY HURRICANE

1 Although the angry wind carried I through space veritable fusi]lade of bricks, states and bits of broken glass. a fringe of venturesome men stood within the scant protection afforded l by the sheds on the river side of St. | Charles street and with necks at a dangerous angle gazed up at the great tall chimney OH the lower side of the {, Masonic temple during the hurricane the other afternoon. 'la5 {tnA4 It seemed swaying to and fro as though to the accompaniment of the winds melancholy hum, and such cries as It's going to fall now!" and Get ready to dodge the bricks!" went up from the expectant crowd.
 The batteries of the storm god trained their envious guns on the en- tire exposed front of the stately tenn pie. Splendid windows of ancient pat tern yielded their fancy glass as trib- ute to the gale.
 The swaying chimney was about to give up it's fight for existence. The watching crowds saw it bend, straight en, bend again and then fall with a resodnding crash on the roof of the building occupied by q, clothing store next doorsto the temple. ss
 The avalanche of bricks tore a great hole through the skylight and clattered down into the store. And then the opening, forming sort of funnel, let in the mad wind from above and there appeared catapulting through the front door shirts, coats, trousers and all sorts of articles of mems attire.
 The wind for a moments showed a festive mood and picked up the cloth ier's stock, whirled it up ard down St. Charles street; dragged it over the slippery. asphalt, and deposited most ofsit on the shaking roofs of neighbor. ing buildings.
 The windows in all the buildings along St. Charles street were shat. tered by the wind and the skyscrapers in the side streets were considerably damaged.-New Orleans Times-Pica. yune. j 4.t ~,

Vienna, via London, Aug. 16.-After
making a stand on the entire front of
the Bug, the Russian forces are again

whole front west of the Bug in pre-
pared positions, but the allied armies
attacked and cleared their way
through the hostile lines at several
points. Since early morning the Rus
slams everywhere are again in re-
treat.
'In the Italian theater: On the
southwestern front generally there
has been greater activity. In the re-
gion of Gorzia our artillery fired some
bombs on st. Canzian. A hostile at
tack near Radipuglia collapsed before
our fire. The bridge head al Gorilla

New York, Aug. 16.-The Rockefel-

The investigation was conducted by
Doctors James B. Murphy and John J.

They discovered that in the white
lymph cells of the blood there are
the necessary factors in making ami

APPEAL TO MEXICAN CHIEFS
TO END VAR MADE PUBLIC
Pan-American Conferees Now Ready to Extend
Their Aid to Arrange for Proposed Peace
Congress- Replies Are Asked for
Within Ten Days.

Washington, Aug. 16--The Pan-American appeal to Mexico,
now being delivered to the chiefs OF factions and governors of states,
was made public here by the state department.
The appeal, although addressed to the political and military lead
ers, takes on the form of an announcement to the Mexican people
themselves. AS made public by the state department, the document
is prefaced by this announcement:
The Mexican people are informed that the following communi-
cation has been sent to many prominent persons in Mexico who
possess authority or military power within the republic"
Copies to Carranza and Villa.
The appeal went forward to General Carranza and Villa and to
more than a score of other military and political leaders throughout
Mexico, being transmitted by cable, telegraph, and wireless, which
ever method was required I'd reach the desired destination.
AS replies are asked for within ten days after the appeal is re-
ceived, although the time may be extended for cause, no further
meeting of the Pan-Amercan conference is planned until they have
been received or it may be apparent that some of the Mexicans ad-
dressed do not propose to reply.
The conferees confidently expect within a reasonable time
enough favorable replies to warrant them in extending their aid to
arrange for the proposed peace congress.

through the press, by mail and by
courier and to post it in public places
in the principal towns.

Another indication of that factions
opposition to any outside interference
in Mexican affairs was continued,
however, in a dispatch made public
by Carranza's Washington agency
from Jesus Acuna, minister of foreign
affairs at Vera Cruz, quoting a state.
ment to newspapermen in Mexico City
by General Pablo Gonzales, the Car.
rama commandant.
General Gonzales said:
Il believe that the Constitutionalist
government will soon be recognized
by the United States and South Amer

armed Intervention, ! would uphold
the policies of the first chief and go
to war, if necessary, without hesita-
ton. The Mexican people would take
the same stand. The occupation of
Mexico is permanent"
War department officials continued
to keep close watch on the Mexican
border situation, but no new troop or

Galata, on the north side Of the

London, Aug. 1.-THE only evidence
of activity outside of Poland and the
Baltic provinces is on the Serbian
frontier, where a bombardment of Bel
grade by the Austrians and a counter
bombardment of Semlin and Panscova
by the Serbians has been resumed.
According to Nish, Austrian attempts
to cross the Danube near the Serbian
and Roumanian borders have been re-
pulsed, but it is believed by the mill
tary experts here that this region will
be the scene of the next Austro-Ger-
man offensive. There is some specu-
lation in military circles as to whether
Roumania, as well as Serbia, will be
attacked, because of Roumania's re-,
fusal to allow munitions of war to
pass through to Turkey, which is be-
ing pressed both on her Caucasus and
D~ardanelles fronts.

The Turks claim the advantage in

have been defeated. On the Austro-
Italian front no decided gains for Ell

and the Vosges mountains continue

here to indicate that Germans are now

correspondent said, are attempting to
bottle up the Russian fleet in order
that they may transport troops to the
Gulf of Riga region without molesta-
ton.
This is more than half way to Brest-

that this point will be abandoned, ow-

Claim Germans Checked.
P~etrograd asserts that the Germans
have been checked between Ponie-

For the moment, however, the inten-

scramble of the retiring forces to
avoid the enveloping net.
German correspondents accompany.
ing the invading armies say the Rus
slams are following the tactics of the
Napoleanic campaign, laying waste the
country which they abandon so that
