Early Ride
For Wilson
to "PhiAy''

Washington. Aug. 2e.-President
Wilson slipped away from the White
House soon after six o'clock this
morning and before Washington was
awake was off to Philadelphia in a
motor car to visit his oculist. He re.
turned this evening by train after
having broken some presidential pre-.
cedents. He had been lost on the
road, and left an announcement in the
dining room of Philadelphia hotel
rode through the business streets Of
Philadelphia, rode back to Washing
ton in public railroad car, and was
driven to the White House in hired
automobile.
President Wilson took only DR..
Grayson, his naval aide into his con.
fidence about the trip, and other
White House officials did not know
where he had gone until after his de-
parture. Mr.. Grayson rode with him,
and another machine carrying six Sec
ret service men followed.
He remained with the ocuHst less
than half an hour and was told that
his eyes were in excellent cndition.
The President had decided that a
return trip by automobile would be too
tiresome and long and as no private
car was available, a Pullman drawing
room was reserved. ... ....

Galveston Slowly But Steadily

aster-No Food shortage

Galveston, Texas, Aug. 20.-Re-
ports say that after the cessation OF
one of the most severe storms Gal
weston has ever experienced this city
is gradually recovering and condi-
tions slowly, but steadily, are ap-
preaching normal.
Tonight the city still showed plain
ly the distressing effect of the bat
tering received from the wind and
rain and inrushing of the sea.
Much Inconvenience was experien ?
ed by residents because virtually all
public utilities We're put out c. ccm-

had been more or less renedled and
putting Of the city in order was pro
gressing as rapidly as possible.
Fear apparently had been eliminat-

ity of equal seriousness.
Two Western Union wires and
Southwestern Telephone company's
wire were placed in commission and
started this evening sending long, de-
tailed messages.
One disappointmen was the failure
to bring water from the Municipal
reservoir to the city. Early in the
day officials expressed the belief that

GALVESTON STORM
=. HITS ST. LOUIS
Sweeps Northward and Floods
Large Areas in Missouri
and Illinois.

St. Louis, Mo, Aug. 2O.-The storm
that devastated the Texas Gulf coast
last Monday and Tuesday and then
swept northward struck St. Louis
with fury last night and tonight,
bringing with it the heaviest down
pour in the history of the city and
causing a food that drove hundreds
of city and suburban residents from
their homes At o'clock this even
ing the rainfall was 5.95 inches. Tie
storm at no timo reached cyclonic
proportions, but the water was swept
from the streets in sheets.
The flood in st. Louis was due to
the water backing in the storm sew
crs in the western part of the city
and in part to the tremendous rise
in the usually negligible river Des
Pcres. This river, without its banks
in the western part of the city, flood
ed d part of the populous suburbs of
Maplewood and Greenwood, and in
tcrrupted train service. Three rail
roads and street car service to sub
urban towns were put out Of commits
sion.
There are runlors OF drowning in
MaplewoCd and other suburbs but
there were unconfirmed.

The president motored to Philadel-

Secretary Lansing before leaving and
conferred with him again tonight. No
statement was Forthcoming of details

everywhere in official quarters brief
details of the case were discussed.

For a while today, some officials
hearing that the Arabic was conveyed

from Liverpool, thought this might
have caused the German submarine to
disregard the rule of visit and the
giving of warning. Later, however,
the statement of an American survi-

life boats drifting for hours before be-
