STORM HITS BALTIMORE
Lightning Strikes Church ard Carries
Away. Evangelist's Tent.

Baltimore citv--particularly the
northwestern section-.-was bit. yes
terday afternoon by the most dam
aging storm of the season. All Of the
elements except snow broke IN q
fury, the storm lasting for. more than
half AN hour. There Eas very heavy
rain. There was also hail, some Of
the stones being twice the size OF
early June peas. A gale, which
reached as high as so miles. an hour
for. couple of minutes. swept
through the northwest. and northern
part Of the city, tearing hundreds OF
trees up by the roots and pulling
roofs from couple of houses, carry
ing them for a block or more as If
they were pieces of paper.
Ii was the second destructive
storm of the week. Like the first one,
it arrived at time in the evening
when most of Baltimore was on the
street, going from Offices to street
cars for the trip home to supper
Down town it did nothing but give
everybody thorough drenching; the
rain seemed to fall in sheets and the
streets were like little rivers. 1t was
in the residence sections that Il
| reached heights of ruthlessness.
Lightning hit the roof of Emman-
uel English Lutheran church, at the
corner of Warwick and Edmondsor
avenues, and tore a hole II feet long
and 8 feet wide in it. At Edmondso1
avenue and Bentalou street it picked
up a big tent in which evangelical
services have been conducted for
several days, and stood it on Its
| head, mixing into "hash" the chairs
| tent poles, pulpit and ropes benea'r
the canvas,
Not content with picking off root
here and there, the wind unroofec
houses by the wholesale. On Madison
avenue it started in the 1900 bloch
with 1901 and went straight through
1903, 1905, 1907 and 1909, ripping
off every roof. The houses across the
street were untouched.

Gives Advice in Talk to the Fort
Myer Camp Students.
Speaker Champ Clark, addressing
the men in. training for officers at
Fort Myer last night, advised them
to- spend their. spare: time in study
ing the Bible, because of its litera:
ture, style and brevity, which are
necessary ii an officers written or
ders.
abraham Lincoln was elected
President of the United States be-
cause of a quotation from the Bible
which he vigorously employed" said
Mr.. Clark. That quotation was, "a
house divided against itself cannot
stand"
"The Continental Congress in the
days of the Revolution, even with the
poor Treasury balance it had, sent to
Europe and bought 10000 Bibles For
its soldiers. T don't know whether
this Congress will appropriate
money to buy Bibles for soldiers, but
if it does not the people of the
United States will go down into their
pockets and provide them"

Auxiliary Vessel of American Fleet
Assailed by Submarine.
Boston, July IA German sub
marine attacked an auxiliary vessel
of the American fleet off the coast
of France, but her torpedoes missed
their mark and she is believed to
have been hit by shell, according
to letter received here from a
member of the crew of the American
vessel.
"When we were off the coast of
France, well in sight Of land" says
the letter, "a German submarine
fired two torpedoes at us. The first
one passed in front of the bow, and
when the captain swung the ship
around, one crossed our stern.
"One of the shots from our. No. 8
gun hit something, for after it struck
about 8 or 8. different spouts, Of wa
water came up, while all our other
shots when they struck the. water

STA and as king thereof am the
SOLE government Of that count

ANY CONSTITUTION OR LAW
and that MY will expressed is the
only legal power known to exist

This statement or declaration
sworn to by the Kaiser or rather an
agent representing him, is to be founc
in the records of the Missouri SUI
preme court and is a complete an

forth that Germany has representa-

1T WITH A CAPITAL 81"

Considerable discussion has been
INDUCED in as to whether the Kaiser
is an absolute monarch or not OF
whether he is responsible to the parli-
amentary bodies of Germany: 1t
might be interesting to note how he
regards himself. At Koinsbur August
1916, in an imperial proclamation, he
made the following statement:
"Here my grandfather by his
own right set the Prussian crown
upon his head, once more dis
tinctly emphasizing the fact that
it was accorded to him by THE
WILL OF GOD ALONE, and
NOT by any asemblage of the
people or by POPULAR vote and
he thus looked upon himself as
the CHOSEN INSTRUMENT OF
HEAVEN and as such performed
his duties as regent and sover-
eign.
***"I consider myself an IN
STRUMENT OF HEAVEN and
shall go MY way without regard
to the opinions of the day."
No words could more plainly convey
the idea that he was the German
government himself and was in no
way responsible to the German peo-
pie.
Not only this but we have in this
country an official, sworn declaration
of his claim to absolutism.
Some years ago a German citizen
died in Missouri, intestate; he was
very wealthy and by the laws of the
state of Missouri, he, dying without
heirs, reverted his property to the
state.
The kaiser sued for his property
and in his declaration set forth:
"That I am the ABSOLUTE
monarch of the kingdom Of Prus-

that before a killing frost falls.
There is no reason whatever for our
farmers to be discouraged as far as
corn raising is concerned. We are
practically as sure of a corn crop as
they are in Iowa, northern Nebraska
and northern Illinois.
