here a permanent citizens relief COM

toward a 100000 local fund was
raised before adjournment.

496 Homes Demolished.
! According to a survey made by the
committee on losses 496 homes were
totally demolished, 146 partially de-
stroyed and 800 homes slightly dam
/ aged. The property loss on homes was
estimated at 100000, not including
manufacturing plants, adding another
! 100000 to the total figure.
The scene of devastation defies ade-

the northwest part of the city and
followed direct path east to the city
limits. The district is made up of
prosperous working people, most of

age could not have been more complete.
Storm Freaks Numerous.
The fury of the wind preached no
obstacles. A clear roadway four blocks
wide and two miles long was demol-
ished to such degree that one stick
did not remain on another. Bricks were
crunched to powder, huge trees were
torn and spiintered. The scene resem-
bled nothing so mueh as war-torn
French village subjected to innumer-
able commandments.
The freaks of the storm stagger
credulity, and yet hundreds of amaz-
ing sights are to be seen in Nation.
Some of the houses look as If they
had been blown from the inside, the
four walls lying a hundred feet in all
directions.
Gale Crushes Business Center.
A gale of so miles an hour blew
through the business district, demol-
ishing store windows and overturning
wagons and automobiles. People were
hurled before it like leaves and were
pinned helplessly against any obstruc-
ton which stood in their path.
The Dodge Grove municipal GENE
terry at the extreme north city limits
suffered heavily. Not a tree escaped
being uprooted.
1t was 3:15 O'Clock Saturday after
noon, according to the stories of eye
witnesses, when a great black funnel
shaped cloud was noticed In the north
west. For FIVE minutes it appeared to
be approaching the city at tremen-
dous rate of speed and then suddenly
veered to the north, and 1t was thought
that the city had escaped.
Spectators went indoors and a mo-
ment later the hurricane had struck.

tuted a Federal

Washington. Aug. 2S-Alsace Lor-
raine, DESTROYS only to be part of
France again, will bitterly oppose the
reported plan of Chancellor Michae-
lis to make it a federal duchy, Daniel
Bluementhal, formerly an Alsatian
member of the reichstag, declared
here yesterday. He also insisted that
virtually all Alsatians will oppose the
pope's peace plan as having been con-
cetved in part at least by the Ger
man government.
The proposal to MAKE Alsace-Lor-
raine a federal duchy just made pub
lie, is not new" Mr.. Blumenthal said.
TT has been in the minds of German
politicians for years. Alsatians would
not approve it nor would their re-
personalities in the reichstag, if they
dared to speak their true sentiments.
'"The popes peice> proposal cannot
be taken seriously in A1sace-Lorraine.
1t looks only to domination of the
country by German Catholic influ-
ences.''

HOME GuARDSMEN

FOR WIN TERTIME
Heavier Uniforms Have Not
Yet Been Procured For
State Troops.

= No winter uniforms have been pro-

With the approach of winter, the
indecision of the Secretary of War
as to the uniform to be permitted
Home Guard units in this state and
other minor reasons, commanders of
the various Connecticut regiments are
today exercised over the condition
which<is likely to confront their COM
mands.
At the present time the enlisted
men have nothing but the thinnest of
summer khaki suits supplemented by
wooden shirts. 1t is pointed out that
they are also lacking in winter over
kets.
AS the heavy weather approaches
in the event of trouble it would be al
most impossible to preserve health of
the guard under out-of-doors duty.
This situation is one which is caus-
ing apprehension broa beast through
out the state, for even in the armories
it will be hard to conduct the drills
unless suitable clothing is provided.
Officers here said today that the
military emergency board was making
every effort to provide the needed
clothing but that until final decision
of. the Secretary of War is made as
to the color of uniforms that may be
permitted by the war department and
until the cloth may be procured from
the larger wooden mills the clothing
of 10 regiments in this state will be
held back.
