STORM TAKES TOLL OF
LIVES AND PROPERTY
Tropical Hurricane Sweeps East Gulf
Coast and Then Turns Inland
Seventeen Negroes Killed.

New Orleans, July 8. - Loss of at
least II lives and property damage
which may total several millions of
dollars resulted from the tropical
storm which swept the east Gulf coast
Wednesday and turned inland Thurs
day.
All the deaths reported occurred
near Beloit, Alabama, where II ne.
groes lost their lives. Several re-
sorts along the coast in the vicinity
of Mobile had not been heard from.
The maximum wind velocity was re-
ported at 104 miles an hour.
Property damage in Mobile was re.
ported to be around $1.o0O,0OO. The
business section of the city was
flooded and many buildings were de-
molished or unroofed
Laurel, Miss, reported that the prop
erty loss there would aggregate $780,.

AT TEUTON LINES.

Hlndenburg and Mackensen Reported
Hurried to koveIabo Where Bat
tie Is Developing in Favor OF
Russians-AIIies Use Plans
Devised at Conference.

Lcndon, July S.-Not in France but
on the East front, the fourth great
blow Of the Allied offensive has be-
gun to develop.
While progress of the Anglo-French
drive has been halted to allow the
artillery to batter down the next Ger
man lines, the Russians have made
another tremendous thrust at the Aus
tro-German lines. Vienna admits five
mile retreat on the Kolom ea-Delatyn
road, while the Russians have taken
$4,000 additional prisoners, 5000 OF
whom were captured on the Dniester.
Allies Take Initiative.
Thus the strategy evolved at the AL
lied conferences in London and Par
is is becoming increasingly apparent.
General Joffre's order of the day to
the troops defending Verdun, disclos-
es clearly the plan for alternate blows
on the Teuton anvil. At all points
now the initiative is clearly in the
hands Of the Allies.
That there has been another Austri-
an collapse along the Dniester is the
Interpretation military experts place
on the reports from the East front.
While the Russian victory is still only
local in character, they declare that
in results it is likely to be no less
far-reaching that the breaking of the
lines in Bukowina.
Slavs Near NarWorna.
The Russians are now within 10
miles of the important railway center
of Narworna, about 20 miles northwest
of Kolomea and we'll in the rear Of
General Won Rothmer's forces facing
Tarnopool. Through the cutting of
the railway leading through the Kiri-
aahaaba pass. the e.! e9mmunications Of the
Thus to save itself both from the rap
i'd flanking movement Of the Russians
and to restore its lines it is almost
bound to retire northwest.
Teutcns Admit lnferiority.
At Kovelabo the battle is apparent
1y developing in Russian favor, and
Field Marshals Won Hindenburg and
Won Mackensen are declared to have
been hurried there to take command
of the situation. It is doubtful though
whether even their aid will save the
city.
Every where on the east front the
Germans and Austrians have now con-
fessed their inferiority in numbers.
Whether either staff can withdraw
troops from other fronts to meet the
Russian menace is now the interest
ing question. The German have al
ready been forced to send men from
Verdun to oppose the dive on the
Somme. They cannot denude their
lines there

by the Carranzistas, General Ramoz
not daring to risk making an attack

son by Villa, according to the report,
the Villistas charged the Carranza po-

demoralizing the small force.

The Villistas were repulsed repeat

assault. For hours, until darkness,
the Carranzistas held their own

sent General Romeo to attack the ban.
dts he told him they had been caus-

he ordered General Ramoz not to re.

Chihuahua that the Villa band num-
bered less than 200.
Carranzistas Outnumbered.
When he saw that his force was
greatly outnumbered, and would be
crushed, couriers were sent back by
General Ramoz to obtain reinforce

carrying out his instructions, COMPEL

Lansing Plans Vacation.

Washington, July {. - Inc uo ioo'o
government of Mexico has been notl-
fed through Ellisio Arredondo, am
bassador designate, that the United
States welcomes General Carranza
proposal to adjust all pending differ
ences between the two governments
by direct diplomatic negotiations.
Mr.. Arredondo was informed OF the
American governments attitude IN
conversation with Secretary Lansing
after the latter had conferred with
President Wilson. Later formal note
will confirm the ambassadors report.
Wilson Makes Decision.
Washington, July 7.-Formal accep-
lance of General Carranza's proposal
that differences between the United
States and the de facto government OF
Mexico be settled by direct negotia-
lions will be dispatched soon to Mexl-
co City.
This has been decided by President
Wilson at conference with Secre"
tary of State Robert Lansing.
Accepts Offers.
The Mexican note, said the de facto
government had accepted in principle
Latin-American offers of mediation,
but was awaiting information as to
whether the United States believed
the desired results could be accom-
plished by direct exchanges between
the two governments.
Secretary Lansing is to leave for
months vacation. 1t was not stated
whether he would prepare the reply
to Mexico before his departure, but
indications are that it will go forward
in day or two at most.
Discuss Propositions.
The secretary was with the presi-
dent about 20 minutes. He said they
went over most Of the Important mat
ters now before the state department.
Il suppose that we discussed Is or
20 different propositions" he said.
''As l am going on my vacation
wanted to discuss everything of i'm
portance in the department with the
president before I left. l shall attend
the cabinet meeting and start on my
vacation later"
Although convinced that danger of
war with Mexico has passed, the war
department stood by the original inten-
tion to send all of the militiamen orig
inally called to the border.
To Protect Border.
Aside from the advantage of mobili-
cation and experience of border patrol,
the department deems it advisable to
protect the border thoroughly against
raids while diplomatic negotiations are
in Progress.
The American punitive expedition
will not withdraw from Mexico mere
ly On the strength of Carranza's friend
Nv note, it also has been officially
learned.
Indications were, however, that the
document paved the way for a discus
sion which ultimately may end in with
drawl and the establishment of border
patrols by both countries Any with
drawal is contingent upon Carranzas
demonstration of ability to police
Northern Mexico.

WORLDS RICHEST WOMAN DIES
MRS. HETTY GREEN PASSES AWAY
IN NEW YORK..
Aaed Mistress of Finance Was Eighty
Years of Age-Suffered Three
Strokes of Paralysis.

New York, July 5.-Mrs Hetty
Green, known as the worlds wealth.
lest woman, and who was 80 years old,
died here. She had suffered three
strokes of paralysis during the past
two month and for several weeks mad
been practically helpless.
Her death occurred at the home OF
her son, COL Edward H. R. Green, at
No. West 90th Street, adjoining the
plain brick four story house at No. Z
on the corner of Central Park West,
where Mrs. Green had lived lately in
seclusion, except for her son and sew
eral Japanese servants and four train<'
ed nurses disguised as seamstresseS.
Spent Time in Chair.
For several weeks past Mrs. Green
had been unable to walk and mad spent
practically all of her time in a wheel
chair. The nurses occasionally lifted
her into her automobile where, propped
up by pillows and protected by fars
the mistress of finance enjoyed few
afternoons in the park. Most Of the
time, however, she sat in the wheel
chair at one of the front windows on
the parlor floor of her home and gazed
out over the park, motionless for hours
at a time.
sIeepiessness fastened Death.
A contributory cause of the fatal
termination of her illness was her in
ability to sleep.
Her son, Colonel Green and her
daughter, Mrs. Mathew Aston Wilks,
who were the only children, had been
with her much of the time and it was:
recently reported that Mrs. Green had
turned over all of her financial affairs
to her sons charge.
Wall Streets estimate Of Mrs.
Green's fortune range from $4,000, 000>
to $100,000,000. Officials Of the Chem
ical National bank, in which Mrs.
Green once made her downtown head
quarters, declined to hazard guess
concerning the size of her estate.

London July 7.-Only two miles
now lie between General Foch's troops
and Peronne, the great railway GEN.

The way has been cleared for a
quick push over that interval. On

runs into Peronne is controlled by
the Allies.
Second Line Carried.
South of the river the German sec
ond line was carried over a front of
more than six miles and the occupa-
completed.
With these successes the French will
be able to straighten the salient d.
rectly west of Peronne. The German
hold on Estrees and the Clery-Mari-
court highway had tackled down the
base of this wedge. 1t has now been
loOSened.
Germans Counter-Attack.
How important the Germans consid-
er these positions on the Somme is
indicated in the heavy counter attack
they launched against the village OF
Belloy-en-Santerre, between Estrees
and BarleuX.
After the French had taken the Sor-
mont Farm, on the left bank of the
river opposite Clery, and only two
miles from PeronAe, the Germans
made heavy attack on Belloy. They
succeeded in winning grip on the
village, thus denting the line. But in
the furious battle that followed, the
French won back the town again.
