 Eight people are known, to be dead and two more are certain to die, ac- cording to information we received late yesterday at Cogbill from the sec tion at Rollins and that vicinity. Sew eral schoolhouses were blown down and vast damage was done to houses and other property. The information received up to the time I left Cogbin last night was not complete, and 1t is possible that the loss of life and prop erty will be greatly increased when reports come in from isolated rural points.
 The storm would hit in some places and do untold damage and then skip over section and swoop down again. one remarkable case reported was that or an aged woman. an invalid, who was carried 300 yards away. and whose house was totally destroyed, yet she was not seriously injured. The tor nado was very disastrous and I fear that later reports will only serve to in- crease the number of lives lost and the property damage

THE PLIGHT OF BELGIUM IS

Six Little Children of the Mills With Their Mother Walk B Miles On Way to Georgia-How George B. Ward Sent Footsore Group, Overcome By

The plight of homeless Belgians, without home and means, was for cibly impressed upon the members of the city relief department when d travel-stained woman. with a foot sore group of six children, ranging from 1S years to ?, filed into the city hall and told of how they had walked nearly half the distance from Hunts vile to Birmingham on their way to Columbus, Ga, to get employment at a cotton mill

The pathos of the situation did not appeal to the furniture man. As the children watched with eyes dimmed with tears the beds in which they had been crowded together were moved away with every effect of the rude cottage.

He has been twice married. His family lives in Switzer- land, but he has a son, Julian, in this country. He left China December 29 to visit Switzerland.
 The first news of the tragic death of MT. Haden to reach the Presby- terian mission board was the Associ- ated Press bulletin from Washington. There had been some anxiety ex- pressed, however. because of his de- lay in reaching Switzerland MT. Ha- den was first stationed at Wusih, China. in 1891, being moved in 1895 to Kiang Yin. In 1908 he was transferred to Soo Chow. where he was engaged in evangelistic missionary work In tho rural districts.

He was last in this country from March, 1910 to November. 1911.
 Shreveport, La, February 23.-Rop- ert Allen Haden. reported lost in the sinking of the French liner Athos near Malta, some years ago filled the pas torate of the First Presbyterian church here for about year.

Australia Destroying Her Trees

From the National Geographic Maga- zine.
 In view of the present and prospect i've value of Australia's national tree, it is little surprising to find that cutting and burning is proceeding with scant scientific supervision. Califor- mia and South America are planting eucalyptus; Australia is cutting them down.
 Australian hardwoods rival mahog- any in beauty and susceptibility of polish. and are unsurpassed among the worlds timbers in strength, durability and resistance to fungus and insect attacks.

 NO SUCCESS YET
 Officials who have been following the submarine campaign continue to feel that it will not meet with the success ex- pected by Germany unless the rate ot destruction is greatly accelerated

GOING PREPARED
FURTHER COMPLICATIONS

The question of arming American ships has been further complicated by a re- quest from P. A. s. Franklin of the Amer lean line not only for guns but for gun ners. While the government has sane toned the carrying of guns. no official thinks the government also will pro vide gunners at this time. The plac- ing of national gunners on private ship would make her status questionable.
 Premier Lloyd Georges speech to the effect that extreme measures must be taken to save England from disaster from the submarine campaign caused much surprise here because of it's frankness. Nevertheless. it was pointed out that the German submarine campaign had given the British premier just the oppor- tunity he wanted of making a supreme appeal to the British people and of inn posing long desired restrictions, both on them and on other neutrals.
 CHANGE HE NEEDED
 The drastic prohibitions of imports were understood here not only to be a means of saving cargo space but of enforcing personal economy in England, The inn nense financial saving which this will effect is expected also to strengthen Eng land considerably in neutral markets and increase the expenditures for munitions
 Officials at the state department allowed it to become known that while the off, cal notification of the new British order in council widening the blockade has been
