Through Southern States.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 24-Thirteen per-
sons are known TO have lost their lives
and more than 100 have been reported
injured in series of tornadoes that
swept portions of Alabama, Georgia and

where at least 60 small dwellings were
demolished. Six children were injured in
a storm at Georgetown, Miss. Small tor

property damage.
The tornado was about mile wide
and was moving east. Practically every
house in Hollins was damaged. and in
some cases residences were completely
demolished.
All wires east of Hollins are down, and
there is no communication with that
thickly settled section. As the storm

the loss of life may be greater than now
reported.
A number of the killed and injured
were school children, as the schoolhouses

Stcwartsville and Midway were demol-
ished.

TAXATION FOR WAR

New War Credit of I5,ooo,ooo,ooo Marks
Was Announced to the Reichstag-
Credit Voted in October Is
Nearly Exhausted.

London. Feb. 24-War taxation in
Germany has been increased 20 per cent.
in budget presented to the Reichstag
yesterday by Count Won Roedern, tinan-
eial minister, according to an Amster-
dam despatch to Reuters.
In announcing a new war credit OF
$4,000 100000 marks, Won Roedern ex-
planned that an increase in taxation was
necessary, because the budget provides
no new money, while the safety law en-
acted last year called for an increase of
30 to 90 per cent. in legal reserve. Count
Won Roedern said the war credit voted
last October was nearly exhausted.

believe the general car shortage and

that those conditions were brought on
largely by the suspension of trans-At-

"To the House OF Representatives
The committee on state institutions
on the occasion of its visit TO Brandon
took the opportunity Of visiting the in
dustrial school at Vergennes. Since the
school is located on the direct route to
Brandon, the visit could be made without
expense to the state. The inspection was
further induced by the urgent and cour-
teous invitation of the chairman of the

institution in snch an excellent condition
and doing such remarkable work, that it
believes it to be part of its duty to
give the House the benefit of its finding.
The property is in a most excellent
condition, all the buildings. stock and
equipment giving evidence of the best of
care. 1t was clearly manifest that the
management of the institution is of the
highest order, and the results produced in
the training of nearly 800 boys and girls

garded as the most acute phase OF the in

as bringing nearer the possibility of
break OF diplomatic relations between
the Netherlands and Germany. So far
Holland has only made protests against
the destruction of her neutral ships by
German submarines, but the startling
operations reported yesterday and to-day
are expected to arouse a wave of popular
indignation in the Netherlands which
that government may find it difficult to
withstand, even should it desire to do So
The officials here will be surprised if that
