FLOODS IN PEE DEE

Columbia, s. C., July 19.-While the floods sweeping through South Caro- lima to the sea have crippled commu- nication by rail and largely cut off wire communication from the lower section of the state, conditions in Co., lumbia and above continued to im- prove today.
 The serious point in the flood situ- ation now is in the Pee Dee section, where high water will cause consid- erable damage. News from this section is hard to get, owing to prostration of communications. This section, how ever, has already been swept by the storm, and it is believed the damage will not be serious, as had been feared at first.
 The only death so far reported in this section was that of a negro man who was drowned in the Broad river while try ing to save some cattle.

 The stevedores who have been working day and night for nearly a week putting aboard the return cargo of rubber and nickel were discharged this afternoon two hours before the usual time for the day shift to quit.
 All shore leave for the crew of the Deutschland was stopped tonight Ac- cording to stories told by friends of some of the submarines seamen, the latter have expressed deepest anxiety over the possibility of their falling victims to the allied cruisers reported to be awaiting the submersible off the capes-not from cannon, but from disabled engines through being caught in nets which they believe will be stretched for them.
 "Entangled in these. the submarine can not escape a friend of the men was quoted as saying tonight. Her engines will be crippled, and it will be slow and agonizing death to all on board. When the engines stop the lights will go out and the air will stop. That is what the men fear. They talk of it continually while with me at night and they ask every one to pray for them.''
 This same man said the Deutschland's s crew expressed fears that the Bremen might meet the fate they had pictured as a possibility to themselves.
