THE GALvEsroN STORM.

Details from the great Gulf storm
arrive slowly. but from all the ac-
counts received It appears that Gall
veston's great sea walls has stood q
severe test splendidly. and that the
city has passed through tremendous
experience with only minor damage
It appears that the deluSe which, act
cording to the early accounts, was
supposed to have swept in from tho
sea. was really deluse Of rain water,
the downpour having been so enor.
nous that the sewers failed to carry
of the flow, and the streets were con-
sequently turned into rivers. That
may happen occasionally in any city
where 1t rains.
The waters from the gulf appear to
have done some damage to the sea
wall, but this will easily be repaired.
In general the wall served ite purpose
perfectly.
The first dispatches told of tidal
wave sweeping in toward the city.
Most Of the things called tidal waves
are really nothing OF the sort. The
tides usually operate slowly, and al
most imperceptibly. Occasionally, be-
cause of ocean or river currents, or
because OF peculiar formation Of the
shore line. the incoming tide advances
rapidly in the form Of q wave, or
bore" A familiar illustration of this
is found In the bay Of Fundy, where
the rising water advances in the form
Of wave many feet high, travelling
at great speed, and. incidentally, de-
veloping several million horsepower,
which goes to waste. No such tidal
phenomena are observable in the Gulf
Of Mexico. where the difference be-
tween high and low tide is very slight.
so-called tidal waves are occasionally
caused by upheavals in the ocean bed.
Such waves are frequent during Pc
riods Of earthquake activity. OF
course these are not stidal" waves,
but the name has become attached to
them. and 1t will probably stick. Then
there are great displacements Of wa.
ter caused by the action Of the wind.
High winds. blowing for considerable
periods from one direction cause q
piling up of water, and the great
waves thus formed often travel with
almost irresistible force. 1t was a

ed Galveston years ago. and on this
occasion the wreck might have been

BELGIAN ATROCITIES.

ASOAAAAS
There is being circulated in this
country pamphlet containing trans
lations from tho German white
Book" Of the statements made with
reference to the encounters between
German soldiers and the civil popula-
ton Of Belgium, in the course Of
which many Belgian towns and VIII
lagos were destroyed and great num-
bers Of non-military persons of both
sexes and all ages were put to death.
The German publication treats in
detail Of 4 large number Of cases
concerning which summarized state
ments have already been published.
The purport Of the argument is that
contrary to law and established usage
Belgian civilians made treacherous at
tacks on the German soldiers, and
that what the latter did was done in
self-defense. in punishment for crime,
and for the sake Of the deterrent effect
which severe treatment would have on
others who might be disposed to COM
NIT acts af treachery.
It has been agreed among civilized
powers that for the sake of humanity
war must be confined to nations, and
that there must be no attack on indi-
viduals save as those individuals rep
resent their great national groups. In
other words, the fighting must be done
by soldiers, against soldiers. Nom
m hofo ofc ~ -
mune. In order that this may be car
ried out, certain regulations have been
adopted for the purpose Of distin-
gushing the military from the civil
population. Belligerents must be or
ganized under responsible leaders,
must be uniformed in some distinct
i've manner, must carry their arms
openly, and must observe the rules Of
civilized warfare. There are certain
exceptions made, but generally these
rules govern. Those who are not or
ganized, uniformed and armed q
above are not expected to take part in
hostilities. and. on the other hand,
they are not to be attacked. II, under
the protection which their apparently
peaceful character gives them, they dc
commit hostile acts, they may be ex.
ecuted summarily. All this is quite
familiar.
The Germans charge that the Bel
gians violated these rules, and, posine
as peaceful civilians, attacked German
soldiers unawares, and aggravated
their offense by treating their victim.
with horrible brutality. It is easy to
understand that, notwithstanding the
rules of warfare, the Belgian people
did not Welcome the Germans with en-.
thusiasm. Their country was beine
invaded without cause or provocation
They had done nothing to invite such
q disaster. They asked only to be le,
alone. Yet m avalanche Of foreigner,
was sweeping insolently through their
land. That the Belgians resented the
invasion goes without saying. That
many OF them learned to hate the
German uniform and the man who
wore 1t means merely that they wsrs
human. And that this feeling woult
find expression in some acts Of vio.
lence was to be expected.
4 While the world must sympathisl
] with the Belgians in their distress
and can understand the feeling whict
doubtless prompted some sniping and
.bushwhacking, 1t must be conceded
