80 DEAD AND MANY
INJURED RESULT
Of WIND STORM
(By Associated Press }

NEW ORLEANS, La, May Thirty
persons are known to be dead today
as the result of terrific storms which
devastated portions of Southwestern
Louisiana and Coapen and adjoining
counties in northwestern Mississippi
late yesterday and last night. All the
dead, except one, are negroes.
Fifteen persons were killed in the
vicinity of Egan Mehmenta, La, ana
one in ST. Phelene parrish Fourteen
victims were killed in the neighbor-
hoors of Clarksdale and Jamestown,
Miss. Wire communication being in
terrupted, make accurate information
extremely difficult to obtain and the
aggregate number of victims may be
largely increased during the next 2t
hours.
In Louisiana the property damage ia
conservatively placed at 100000, much
of the damage being sustained in iso-
lated districts Railroads, telephone. and
lines are among the princl-
pie sufferers. In Mississippi the prop.
erty damage will exceed that sustained
in this state, the devastation ii the
path of the sorm here being practically
complete. Railroad and wire commun-
ication around Clarksdale and Jonss-
town is interrupted at noon today.

BETTER CROPS
FULLY ASSURED
FOLLOWING RAIN
WHEAT AND OATS ALIKE PROMISE
BETTER YIELDS NOW.

Sumter granaries will have to be
made larger, now that seasonable rains
have come and insured better crops o.
corn, wheat and oats. The rain this
morning, while not very heavy, served
to help the situation no little. The
wheat crop, by far the largest ever pro-
duced in Sumter ciunty, is practically
on the safe side now, as little rain
is required in the maturing of this
most important crop. Oats are small,
as the result of drouth, but have good
color and will continue to grow under
favorable conditions. In a drive over
Sumter county one is favorably inn
pressed with the vast stretches 4
grain fields in every section, oats,
wheat, corn and rye, and a great har-
vest is assured the farmers here in
Junetime.

afternoon when it became known that
during the past twenty-four hours the

guaranteed by the attitude of great

China, promises seriously to be dis

QUEENSTOWN Ireland, May r.
The Cunard line steamship Lusitania.
perhaps the finest steamship engaged
in the transatlantic passenger trade
between Liverpool and New York, was
torpedoed and sunk by German sub
marine today. The attack on the big

PEKIN, May Local press repre-
sentatives believe that China is ready
to meet every demand of Japan, rather
than be forced to go to war with their
neighbor. From authentic sources
comes the information that President
Yuan Shi Kai and his cabinet realize
that the situation is hopeless and thar
China must submit to the demands of
Japan.
The fact that the cabinet will meet
every demand of Japan is not fully
comprehended here in the capital of
the nation. The larger element of cit
izens. the uneducated classes, are not
interested in the outcome. The small
er portion, the educated classes are
wrought up over the possibility of al
lowing Japan to lictate to their mother
country.
A considerable number of foreign
residents as well as large number of
Chinese themselves, are today pack
ing their belongings and otherwise
preparing to leave the country should
developments warrant it.
1t was learned today that the Japan
ese government yesterday presented
the Chinese consul at Toxic with a
note warning him that unless his coun-
try accepted the Japanese demands
that an ultimatum expiring at 8

LONDON, May 7.-Todays official

Constantinople says severe losses have
been inflicted on the British and
French troops landed on Gappiloli pc
ninsula, one entire British battalion
having been annihilated. Press dis
patches from the Ottoman capital at
noon contained no details of reported
land fighting in that theatre of hos

of the forts of the Dardanelles by YES
sells of the allied feet is progressing
disastrously for the Turks.
Powerful Forts Silenced.
OF especial interest to the British
public are today's newspaper dis
patches from the near east, these con-
veying definite intelligence of the 81
lencing of at least two, and probably
more, of the powerful forts guarding
the pathway through the straits into
the Sea of Marmora and to CONSTANT
nople. The defenses at Chanak, on the
Asiatic side of the Dardanelles and
at the entrance to the Narrows, fifteen
miles from the Aegean Sea, have been
so severely damaged by the fire of the
attacking squadron as to silence the
great Krupp guns mounted there, while
Kilid Bahr, on the European side of
the waterfall about seven miles from
the west entrance of the treacherous
straits, has likewise been rendered use
less.
