KAISER ASKS
BULGARIAN HELP
Germans Are Losing to
Allies in the West.

Rome, July 11.-Kaiser Wilhelm
and Emperor Franz Josef have sent
an urgent request to Car Ferdinand
to dispatch Bulgarian troops to the
Galician and Trentino fronts to help
check the Russian and Italian offen-
sives, according to Geneva dispatches.
A delegation of Austro-German
diplomatic and military officials per-
sonally carried the message on Sun
day to Sofia. They told Car Ferdi-
nand that continued Italian and Rus
sian successes would bring Roumania
into the war on the side of the Allies
and Bulgaria then would be squeezed
between Roumania on the north and
the Allied forces in Greece on the
south and crushed.
Car Ferdinand replied that the
withdrawal of the Bulgarians would
invite an immediate attack from Sa-
lonika. He promised, however, to
submit the appeal to the Bulgarian
staff.
The steady advance of. the Russians
in Southeastern Galicia has caused
the withdrawal of several Hungarian
divisions from Trentino.

SOCIALISTS CLAIM THE
GERMANS ARE STARVING
Deny Statement That No Resident
of Berlin Faces Starvation. Whole
Scheme Wrong.

The Hagne. via London, July s.
During debate on the food situa-
ton, at the Thursday evening session
of the Berlin city council, the So
cialists complained of the inequality
and inadequacy of the distribution
of food under the mass feeding
scheroe. Councillor Mommsen de-
clared that no resident of Berlin was
yet starving. This elected a sharp
contradiction. Municipal Physician
Weber maintained there was no
question of under feeding yet, where
upon cries of strong dissent arose
from the Socialists.
The Socialist Councillor Hoffman
said that he himself had been a pa
tient ot the Rudolph Virchow hospi-
tai for months and knew how SER
iouslv the dietary had been reduced.
Herr Hoffman demanded that Presi-
dent --on Batocki of the food regu-
lation board, should be told that suf-
fc;ont food was available, but that
the method of distribution was all
wrong and the residents of Berlin
would stand it no longer.
The population of Cologne is ex-
cited over the municipalities an
nouncement that mass feeding has
been postponed indefinitely, some
say for weeks, owing to the lack of
potatoes.
The so-called goulash-cannon trav-
cling kitchens are entirely insufici-
ent and are besieged by crowds of
hungry persons, while housewives 60

TALK OF MEXICO
WILL BEGIN SOON
Informal Negotiations
Expected This Week.
Border Still Quiet.

Washington, July 9.-The infpc-
nal negotiations between E'is-" Ar-
redondo, Mexican ambassador desig-
nate, and Acting Secretary Polk of
the state department, which are ex-
pected to smooth out the differences
between the two governments, prob
ably will begin some time this week.
It was said at the embassy tonight
that the instructions from Mexico
City awaited by the ambassador were
expected tomorrow.
Absence of further reports of the
outlaw band which Gen. Caranza
warned the United States govern
ment might be headed for another
raid across the, border encouraged
officials in hoping this new element
might not be added to the other diff
ficult problems which the Mexican
and American conferees must solve.
War department officials said
many thousand additional National
Guardsmen would start for the bor-
der this week. No important move
ments of these troops at the border
or beyond, were reported during the
day.

her daughter, Mrs. 8. A. Graves,
to call on Mrs. Jt p. Bnlngs about
A o'clock. As she was conversing
with Mrs. Billings and Mrs. Duncan
the end came without warning, ap-
poplexy being the cause of her
death. She breathed her last just as
Mr.. Graves reached her.
Mrs. Crawford was seveLty-five
years of age. Before her marriage
to Mr.. David Crawford in 1861, she
was Miss Laura A. Black, of the Lit
tie Mountain neighborhood. For
several years. Mrs. Crawford was

FLOODED AREA =
INCREASING.
Thousands Homeless
and Destitute in Path
of Storm. !

With thousands of persons home
less and destitute and with growing
death list, the federal government TO-
day took official notice of the serious
flood conditions that have followed
the tropical hurricane in the South
ern States. At the request of Senator
Underwood, the war department has
ordered an engineer to investigate
conditions in the Cahaba and Alaba-
ma river valleys, where 1000 famil-
les are reported without food or
shelter.
The floods have entered into East
ern North Carolina and rivers, creeks
and branches in six Southern States
are out of their banks and flooding
thousands of acres of rich farm lands
as a result of unprecedented rainfall
since last Wednesday.
Eleven deaths reported today
brought the storm toll to 78 dead and
missing. Of these 55 were members
of the crews of ten schooners report
ed unaccounted for at Biloxi. There
is possibility that some were saved,
but marine men hold out little hope
for them. The others are known to
have lost their lives, about half of
them off the coast of Mobile and the
others in the interior of Mississippi,
Alabama and Georgia. The damage
will total millions of dollars.
Take to tho Boats.
At scores of places boats are being
used to bring marooned sufferers
frmo their flood surrounded homes
and from tree tops.
In Alabama conditions have as
sumed the most serious aspect. A
rainfall that has continued for more
than 100 hours at some places has
crippled wire and rail communication
and demoralized business. Railroad
yards and manufacturing plants in
Montgomery are threatened by the
rising waters of the Alabama river.
Back water has overthrown the
greater portion of North Montgom-
cry but warnings by the weather bu-
reau prevented loss of life.
Not more than dozen of the e.
400 houses in Laurel, Miss, escaped
damage. The corn crop in that Sec
ton is reported rs per cent. destroy
ed.
Four hundred persons driven from
their homes in the Dayton (Tenn.)
district on account of the overflow of
the Tennessee river Sunday returned
yesterday when the waters began to
subside. A 10-year-old boy, missing
since Sunday, has been discovered
alive on a drift, but cannot be res
cued until the waters subside.
Railway traffic is badly crippled.
