REPORTS INCREASE
 HAVOC OF STORM MORE DAMAGE REVEALED Guy and Beckett Mountain Included in TOrnadO-Stricken Territory on
 Related Reports.

Partial restoration of telephone communication last night and today increased the reports of havoc wrought in Faulkner county by Mon- days storm, which was a part of the
 worst cyclone ever experienced in this state.
 Guy, California township, and the
 Beckett Mountain neighborhood in
 Mountain township have been added to the communities in this county which suffered severely from the et- fects of the disaster. At the former place, one woman, Mrs. Sherman Gen. try, was seriously hurt, score were more or less slightly injured and dozens of houses, barns and other structures were blown.
 Particulars of the storm at Becket Mountain are difficult to obtain, but it was learned this afternoon that neither of the two men, Tom Walter and Ralph Tackett, reported dead in a Heber Springs dispatch last night, were killed. Joe Packet, however, was probably fatally injured, a re- port this afternoon stating that he was still alive but it was feared he could not recover. Several members of his family were also hurt. Ralph Packet, reported killed, was not in Jured. Tom Walter is reported seri- ously hurt, but it is not thought his injuries will prove fatal. Several others whose names could not be obtained were more or less seriously hurt. At least three residences on the mountain were blown away.
 At Guy about 20 houses, barns and other structures were destroyed, and several persons injured. Mrs. Gentry sustained a broken collarbone and several injuries about the neck, but it IS believed she will recover. Among those who lost both houses and barns in the storm at and near Guy were Henry Turner, Walter Morgan and his father, George Sims, Lelan Horton and Alonzo Acre. William Gentry's house was blown 52 feet from it's foundation but was not destroyed. P. M. Douglass lost large barn.
 The drugstore of R. L. Leiblong, Franz Bigg's residence, a warehouse and a blacksmith shop belonging to J. A. Mode, the Baptist church and several other smaller structures were destroyed at Guy. J. L. Hooper's gin, one mile west of Guy, was blown down and destroyed.
 No damage was reported at Quit man or Enders. No further reports have been obtained from Cato, but it is believed the rumors of loss of life and injuries at that place were erroneous.

UNITED STATES
TROOPS IN BATTLE
Cavalry Patrol in Clash Near
Big Bend.
FIGHT LASTS NEARLY HOUR
Report Is Made To General Funston
Telling Of the Engagement-NO
Losses Reported BY the
American Forces.

San Antonio, Texas. - American
troops and Mexicans clashed near San
Jose, in the Big Bend county, accord
ing to report received by General
Funston from Col. Joseph CASTOR, com.
mander of the district. The fight
lasted for As minutes. No losses were
suffered by the Americans, and infor-
nation is lacking regarding loss
among the Mexicans.
Colonel Gaston's report said that
band of about 80 Mexicans opened
fire on detachment composed of %
men of the Sixth Cavalry and Texas
National Guard cavalry squadron en-
gagged in patrol duty between Preside
and Ruidosa. Lieutenant Cudington,
of the Texas squadron, commanding
the troops, ordered his men to return
the fire.
A vigorous exchange of shots con-
tinued for period of As minutes, the
Americans and Mexicans firing in
skirmish formation from covered posi-
tions on either side of the Rio Grande
Information from Colonel CASTOR did
not indicate that the United States
troops crossed in pursuit of the Mexi-
cans. After the fight Lieutenant Cud-
ington returned to Ruidosa with his
command.
Colonel CASTOR reported that Major
A. v. P. Anderson, of the Sixth Cav
airy, has gone to San Jose to investi-
gate the incident. Colonel Raejos,
commander Of the Carranza garrison
at Ojinaga, has gone to the scene of
the fight for the same purpose, accord
ing to Colonel CASTOR.
Washington.-General' Funston, re-
porting on the exchange of shots
across the border at San Jose, said
that late reports reaching him indi-
Gated the American troops were fired
upon "by drunken Mexicans."
The dispatch made no mention of
firing by the American troopers and
said there were no casualties on either
side. officials here were inclined to
attach little significance to the Incl
dent, believing that an irresponsible
band had blundered upon the detach-
ment of Americans and withdrawn
after firing few desultory shots.

GERMANS BELIEVE
THE BREMEN LOST
Diplomats Do Not Think She
Was Captured.
MAY HAVE SUNK IN DIVING
If the Submarine Had Been Captured
the British Would Have Prob
ably Made Public Import
ant Documents.

Washington.-Los of the German
submarine merchantmen Bremen is
conceded by ranking Teutonic diplo-
mats in position to be familiar with
the movements of the vessel. The
Bremen is now one month overdue.
1t was admitted that German off,
cials, not only in this country, but in
Berlin, were without information as to
the fate of the Bremen. All they know
is that she set out for America from
Bremerhaven and that she should have
arrived at an American port soon after
the middle of last month. 1t is re-
garded as doubtful that accurate in
formation concerning the fate OF the
vessel will be available until after the
close of the war;. if then.
The disappearance of the Bremen
will not cause abandonment of the
project to send merchant submarines
regularly from Germany to the United
States, it was said. There appeared
to be reason to expect that another
subsea freighter, either the Deutsch-
land or some other, would reach an
American port some time within the
next month.
German officials in Washington do
not believe the Bremen could have
fallen into the hands of the British
unless she had some accident to her
machinery. They pointed out that, un-
like naval submarines, merchant sub
marines avoid all localities frequented
by shipping, and, therefore, are not
open to the same risks.
When the Bremen was week over
due no anxiety regarding her was felt.
The Deutschland was just week
overdue when she came through the
Virginia Capes, and the weather con-
ditions then were much better than
those which have prevailed during the
last month and half. When the ves-
sci was two weeks overdue anxiety
was apparent in various Teutonic quar-
ters, and word of her arrival was
anxiously awaited.
Since then hope that the submarine
might be safe has dwindled each day
and today she was spoken of as hav-
ing been lost.
Reports that the Bremen had ar
rived safely in New London, Conn,
were published in newspapers in Ger
many more than two weeks ago. 1t
was at New London that dock had
been especially arranged for the recep-
ton of the craft
The Bremen was commanded by
Captain Schwarzkopf and carried a
crew of approximately twenty-five
men.
One official said it was likely that
he Bremen had met the fate of a
number of naval submarines which
lad sailed from port never to be heard
rom again. These vessels have dis
appeared completely and none of the
members of their crews has been re-
ported as being in the detention camps

hat they had some accident which |
caused them to sink or had mishap
While diving, which prevented them |

Another argument advanced in sup |
,ort of the belief that the Bremen |
