Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 1S.-The South was
rocked by earthquake and swept by
storm at the same time today. While
a tropical hurricane flayed the Gulf
neys and frightened many people from
their homes in Georgia, Alabama and
Tennessee. The earthquake did little
damage, but a wind that reached a
velocity of ia miles an hour lifted
roofs from houses at Pensacola, Fla,
and sunk a number of vessels in the
harbor. One life was lost.
Mobile reported that it had been
touched more lightly although the wind
blew lis miles an hour. Two small
buildings were destroyed and a Negro
woman was killed by live wire.
Reports coming in late tonight from
many small towns in Alabama indi-
Gated that the damage in rural districts
might reach many thousands Of dol
lars. Travelling statesmen reaching
Montgomery told of buildings blown
down and unroofed throughout Alaba-
ma
The earth shocks were felt shortly
after o'clock and were severest in
Montgomery and Birmingham, Ala.
where swaying Office buildings were
emptied within a few minutes. In these
towns chimnies were demolished and
articles were thrown from shelves in
houses and shops. The earthquake was
felt as far north as Louisville KY, and
east to Augusta, Ga. It's duration was
about three minutes and there were
two shocks.

New Dreadnoughts

Explaining the change in policy under
which the ships are to be named before
they are laid down, Mr., Roosevelt said
the previous custom had caused confusion
because papers relating to each ship had
referred to her by number during the
first period of her construction and by
name thereafter He said it was expect

they played without either team be-
ing able to score. The referee was an
ex-Bowdoin football player, Pratt of the
class of 1914, and he saw to it that the
teams stuck to the rules of the game.

Eight recruits from Fort Williams

at the north end of the camp and two
