St. Thomas, D. w. l.. Oct. 11.-A cy- clone swept over St. Thomas Monday night and yesterday morning, with dis astrous results. Almost every build ing in the city was damaged and some were destroyed. There were many per- sons injured and it is probably some form of public relief will be neces- sary.
 The damage thus far reported runs into the hundreds of thousands of dol lars. So far as is known there was TO loss. of life.
 The storm began Monday night and on Tuesday morning, after an interval Of calm, recommended with increased force. For four hours it continued to work havoc.

ENTENTE ALLIES OFFERED
 ASSISTANCE TO GREECE In Case She Enters the War-No New Concessions Have Been Made.

Athens, Monday, Oct. g. via Lon don, Oct. 11. 1920 p. m.-The entente allies have again. offered to assist Greece in case she enters the war, but it is understood no new concessions have been made It is learned that entente diplomatic circles of Athens yesterday adviced the French and the British chancelleries, which are charged by the other allied govern ments with the negotiations with Greece, to reply to King Constantines informal proposals to depart from neu- trality, made to the Greek ministers in London and Paris on September IS in the following sense:
 'FWhile the form in which the pro- rosals were made is unacceptable and the question of Bulgarian occupation of Greek soil is considered purely a Greek matter in which the entente is not con- cerned, nevertheless should Greece vol untarily abandon neutrality, declare war on Bulgaria and decree a gener- al mobilization, the entente will be dis posed to furnish every assistance in rial proofs of benevolent interest in the welfare of Greece"
 It is understood, however, that these diplomatic assurances are not to in terfere in any way with the instruc- tions already given the admiral of the allied fleets to assure by all necessary measures the safety of the allied armies in the east.
 Among the entente diplomats this is believed to be the limit of concessions which the allies are prepared to make to facilitate the entry of Greece into the war;.

WOMENS CAMPAIGN TRAIN
 PROVING A GREAT SUCCESS
Have Frustrated Plans of Democratic
 National Committee.

New York; Oct. 1.-The women's campaign special train is proving a great success" said Miss Frances A. KelIor at the Hughes alliance head quarters today. Miss Kellor, who IS chairman of the Womens committee of the national Hughes alliance, has had change of the entire work of financing and equipping the train and of or ganizing both the speakers that go with the train and the state and local committees that receive it. Miss Kel- Tor was obliged to leave the train at Minneapolis Saturday night for business trip to New York, but will rejoin it at once.
 Tho thing that pleases us most is the activity of the democratic nation al committee Miss Kel!or said. They have organized from the Atlantic to the Pacific to defeat the train. The honor of drawing the full batteries of the opposition has remained for the women. The stories sent out about the wealth of luxury represented by the train were enough to make every bandit left in the west hurry down to the railroad track to stop us.
 Those stories are beginning to do us good now. In several places where people have come 10 meet the train, expecting to find all sorts of curiosi- ties in it, they have been all the more impressed by the serious, earnest, com petent women that they really did find there"

British Vessels Are Being Detained in
 Ports as Matter of Precautiou.

New York, Oct. 11.-Although there was no news today to indicate that the German submarine U-5S was still lurking in the Atlantic sea lanes, and while some shipping interests believed she has headed for HeIgoland, there was evidence that the British admiral ty will proceed with0caution m allow ing British ships to depart from At lantic coast ports. Two British ves- sels due to sail today did not leave, and 1t was reported that others which have cleared, both French and British, will not sail at present.
 Shipping circles heard today that Admiral Montague Browning, in con- mand of the British fleet at Halifax, had issued orders detaining the British merchant vessels now in American ports until such time as it was deem- ed safe for them to depart. Verifica- tion of this report could not be ob- tatned at the British consulate, which issues the final sailing orders, but it was admitted that such orders for the Cunard freighters Pannonia and St. George, due to sail today had been withheld.
 A dozen other British ships, includ- Ing the big White Star passenger liner Adriatic, got their clearance papers today, but it was said tha. with the exception Of the Adriatic the dates of their departure would depend upon the developments in the efforts which, 1t Is taken for granted, the British ad- miralty is making to rid American waters of the submarine danger.
 The Adriatic, White Star line of hces said, would sail at noon tomor- row. and prospective passengers had been so notified.

Before, therefore, considering your counter proposition, kindly let me know definitely whether Senator Me Lean accepts CT rejects the offer as l made it--and if he rejects the offer what reason lie has for so doing. If debates of this character were not beneath the dignity of Lincoln, ] trust that Senator Mclean will look upon the idea with favor"

BERLIN PAPERS COMMENT
 ON LATE SHIPPING RAID
Morgen Post Says It is in Accordance With Humane" Methods Promised

Berlin, Oct. II, Noon, wit London, 9.09 p. m.-The newspapers continue to show great interest in the German submarine activoties off the American coast. The news of the submarine raid is prominently printed, but there is a singular indisposition to comment on it. The possibility that it will lead to political complications with the Washing on government is generally dismissed, when it is dismissed at all.
 The Morgen Post declares that the submarines are acting in accordance with the humane methods which Germany promised President Wilson would be carried out. The Cologne Gazette says the appearance of sub marines in the Atlantic merely de- notes a lepgthening of their dadius of action, rendering it possible ito strike the enemy hard and effectively, but in such form as not to expose us to hampering complaints from any quar- ter which might believe itself enti- tied to cOmplain,''
