Much DAMAGE
IN MOBILE
FERED SEVERELY FROM
THE STORM
Associated Press)

Montgomery, Ala, July Opera
tor Kerven, of the Louisville & Nash
vile railroad at Magazine Point,
brought the first word from Mobile
yesterday. Kerven walked into Mobile
to ascertain the damage done and
then walked back to Hurricane, Ala,
a distance of sixteen miles from Mo-
bile, to reach on open wire. He said
the water went to Conception street
in Mobile and the top of the Louis
vile & Nashville station was blown
off and considerable damage done, but
that no lives were lost.
The first word from Pensacola,
which has been marooned for two
days, also reached here last night.
The property damage there is large,
but was confined to waterfront and
shipping facilities. The report said
that maximum velocity of 104 miles
per hour was reached by the wind,
but that no lives were lost. Only one
point, Beloit, Ala, twelve miles from
Selma, reports loss of life. Seven
teen negroes are said to have been
killed there and eight other persons
injured.
In Mobile the water went to the
front of the Cawthorn hotel, on Con-
ception street. The damage in Mo-
bile is estimated at million dollars,
all the first floors in the wholesale
district being flooded.
Reports from various summer re-
sorts on the coast, near Mobile, have
not been received and fear is felt fol-
the safety of thousand of visitors at
those places.
Laurel, Miss, suffered damage esti-
mated at two hundred thousand dol
lars and various sections in this state
were heavily damaged. Word from
Mississippi golf coast cities show the
damage done there was not as heavy
as was first reported.

battering the Germans as far north
as LaBassee and Armentieres. The
British official report this morning re-
cords the resumption of the offensive

The British claim the capture of a
German trench one thousand yards
long east of LaBoiselle. There, has
been violent fighting near Ancre, the
Germans attacking heavily. The Ger
mans made some gains near Thiepval,
The report says.

Direct Negotiation to Settle Diff
ficulties
MILITARY AUTHORITIES REPORT NO NEW MOVES-VILLA At
HEAD Of AN ARMY AGAIN
ASSOCIATED Press)

Washington, June THE formal
acceptance of Carranza's proposal to
settle difficulties by direct negotia-
tions is ready to send to Mexico City.
Secretary Lansing completed the
draft of the note and presented same
to the cabinet meeting today.
WILL MEET MEXICO HALFWAY
The note was presented to Ambas-
sador Arredondo after the cabinet
meeting. 1t contains two paragraphs.
The first expresses qualification at
the frankness of the last Mexican
note and the unreserved expression
of the Mexican desire to adjust the
boundary troubles on ga broad and
amicable basis" The same spirit,
says the note, causes the United
States to equally desire an immediate
solution of difficulties.
'sIt is especially pleasing" says the
last paragraph, "to my government
that the de facto government of Mex
leo is disposed to give quick as well
as practical consideration in a spirit
of concord to remedies which may be
applied to existing conditions. Re-
ciprocating the same desire, the gov
ernment of the United States is pre-
pared to Immediately exchange views
as to some practical plan to remove
finally and prevent recurrence OF
the difficulties which have been the
sources of difficulties"

BITTER FEELING
IN BERLIN
Resumption of Submarine Warfare is
Among the Near Pos
sibilities
ASSOCIATED Press)

Berlin, July 6, via London, July T.
The campaign for resumption of a
full-fedged submarine war on COM
merce goes energetics.lly forward. 1t
was said that with the adjournment
of the Reichstag and the dispersal of
politicians this agitation by the navy
league, publicists, conservatives and
part of the national liberals would
gradually lose its intensity.
On the contrary, reports from all
sections indicate that the agitation is
continuing undiminished this after
noon above and below the surface.
Never a day passes without articles
in various newspapers to remind the
people that, according to the German
note, the modification OF German SUBJ
marine methods merely was tempor-
ary and contingent upon a modifca-
tion of the British blockade.
Advocate Unrestricted Torpedo
Advocates of the unrestricted tor
pedo" appear at every political gath
ering regarded as suitable soil for
their seed. The various newspapers
in sympathy with the movement have
almost daily rubric for what they
call British postal robberies" and
ever and again attention is called to
the fact that the blockade has not
undergone the slightest modification
since the dispatch of the latest Ger
man note.
The purpose of the agitation is two
fold. One branch is directed toward
the resumption of the submarine
campaign. The other is openly and
ayowedly movement against the
chancellor, DIR. Won Bethman-HolIweg,
largely on the ground of internal pol
itics.
Means Revival of the Submarine
Campaign
Some judges of the situation are in
clined to believe the movement will
lead, not later than September, to
revival of the submarine campaign on
the old lines. Recent inquiries by the
Associated Press in authoritative
quarters indicate, however, that the
government for the present has no in
tention of resuming the freedom of
action" mentioned in the May note
and of provoking conflict with the
United States.
One reason for this decision is the
desire to avoid any new measures
tending to prolong the war. Another
Is based on the conviction that a re-
yersal of the submarine policy would
entail opposition from wide, infuen-
tial groups of political leaders and
powerful personages in the admins
tration.
Situation Changed Sharply
The situation in this respect has
changed sharply since the winter. 1t

AMERICAN SPIRIT

There is a e spirit in the universities, a healthier and sounder
public opinion than existed att the end of the nineteenth century; a new
interest in and knowledge of Overnmen and enthusiasm for democracy,
with a desire to share its tasks and responsibilities. The response to
the call of the training camps at Patsburg and elsewhere is a encour-
aging indication of it.
Peculiarly significant, however, writes Winston Churchill in 1arpers
tor January, is the birth OF this new spirit among employers of labor
a indication that emulation LAY replace competition.
There is no need to be cynical N this score, to insist that the men
who control great corporations and c 1mbinations of capital have been
frightened IL OF many practices in which they hitherto have mdulged
There a be no question that the punic attitude toward these practices
has changed, and it would be stupid and m-American to maintain that
this opinion has not permeated the element that employs labor, and
made them more american also.
This cumulative spirit this indication OF the dawnng OF enlightened
self interest this willingness to put a shoulder to the wheel, is at present
Tor marked among employers OF the large corporations. But it will
