the rain aided volunteer workers in
distinguishing them. Rescue work
started mediately. Many were
saved after they had been buried
under the debris for half an hour or
more. Searchers were attracted by
their screams.
Wild scenes followed in the wake
of the disaster. One man with an
ear torn off and with only sheet
wrapped around him, ran through the
city for an hour fighting OFF anyone
who attempted to hold him. At last
he was caught and taken to the hos.
pital.
Vim. Lowrey was burned to death
when he was caught in the wreck Of
his home and was unable to escape
when the ruins caught fire.
The rescuing party had nothing
with which to fight the flames and
not knowing a man was buried in
the wreck, watched it burn. They
soon smelled the burning flesh and
the charred body was found.
When the storm broke. sister of
Mrs. Elwood Lawson saw she would
be unable to reach q house so she
grabbed tree and hung on while
the storm passed. II was the only
tree in the block which was not
blown down and she was not injured.

held for military reasons. but 1t Is
admitted a perfected smoke screen
may be one means employed. British
ships now use such a devfce-artif-
cial smoke from chemicals-that
hides a vessel behind an impene.
trable screen.
Electric methods OF detecting sub
marines. improving upon the present
mfscrophone attachments, may be in
vented. But In keeping with the ad-
ministration's plan OF secrecy. no de-
tails will be announced lest German
inventors be placed at work to over
come the American advantage.
The work Of arming merchantmen
should occupy only q few more days
and then American commerce will be
freed from the bonds that have kept
it shivering in American harbors.
The official notice will serve to
warn submarines of the allied powers
as to Americas intentions.
British undersea boats, however,
are understood to be operated only
under convoy. since there Is little
likelihood that the armed ships will
rake mistakes as to recognizing the
nationality of submarines.
viii Resume SaiIings.
NEW YORK, March 12.-An an.
nouncement posted today in the Of
fees Of the International Mercantile
Marine here. carried the information
that the American line passenger AMI
freight vessels will resume sailings.
No date Of resumption OF business
would be given. 1t would be a viola.
ton OF the request of the navy de,
partment to give such information.
The four passenger ships. the New

mounting Of guns and they could be
fitted in short time.
The Finland and Kroon1and, freight

newer vessels and never have had
guns mounted aboard.

From a spectacular standpoint "The

latest Of the Richard Walton Tully
productions. GORGEOUS scenic effects
form the chief item of merit. The
company. which is large one, has
artists Of real ability, and they are

their talents. The story Is a thrilling
one-too thrilling in fact to be posi-

desired, a good vehicle for the spec

There Is much in the play that was
undoubtedly designed as criticism of
Americas Mexican policy. It Is an

the America Of today. The period il
evidently the early years of the Will
