Champ Clark entered the ballroom at

the members of the Southern Travellers
Association and their wives gathered for
their annual dinner. After the blare
clared himself not only a Southerner

He was interrupted by an outburst OF
applause. and when he resumed he
turned his attention to the criticisms
that have been directed against the
Administration.
ANY one can take an ordinary tele-
scope and go out and md spots on the
sun" he said. president Wilson and
the S!xty-ffth Congress have done tre-
mandous things. We took two days to
pass an appropriation bill for $1,000
1000. and even then there was some
complaint because we did not pass ii in
one day. There has been the best OF
teamwork between the President and
this Congress- We are prepared 10 vote
every man and every dollar that Is ne
cessary to win this war. II the people
won't buy bonds then they will pay

We are going to win, whatever II

cost nobody knows. Even the man who
wrote the arithmetic doesn't know. But
you may be assured We are going to
stand together to the end to make this
war turn out satisfactorily to the Ameri-
can people.
Arguments as to why we entered
the war are obsolete. l can sum them
up In a sentence in this way: No ma
tion will long endure nor deserves to en-
dure that will not protect all its citi-
zens wherever they may be by land
or sea-"
Ambassador Gerard preceding Speaker

II Is the promise of the Weather Blu
rsau at Washington that thunder show
ers, now organising in the air, will ar
rive early to-day over most Of New
England and the Middle Atlantic States,
and moderate the conditions from which
these regions have suffered since Tues
day.
This forecast does not mean that the
change, when II comes, will be perma-
nent. The experts see another heat
wave forming in the neighborhood OF
Alberta, Canada, and believe that II will
take a course which will bring II to the
Atlantic seaboard within a day or two.
Then, they say, conditions here will rival
the hottest OF last Tuesday and Wednes-
day.
Due to the electric storm which visited
New York and its neighborhood early

able In the city yesterday, the thermom-
eter reaching its highest mark at s:15

puted yesterday to the heat. but in most
instances the victims had been Ill from
other causes, when they v.ntured out
under the hot sun. Thirty-iwo cases Of
prostration were recorded at the hosp!-
tails.
The electrical storm which, in the
early morning. dragged the thermometer
down to a point approximating normal.
exacted toll OF life and property as the
price OF relief.
1t was a storm large in promise, IL not
remarkable in achievement, and hirted
with New York from midnight TO 4 In
the morning before It spilled Its treasure
Of rain and cooler airs.
Appearing in the northwest, 1t was
watched eagerly by thousands in tn.
parks and on roofs in the congested dis
tricts. but after making the skies livid

great fury, uprooting trees. tearing down

in the morning It killed Frank Lam
anna, standing under an awning at
johnson and Morgan avenues. Brooklyn.
and twenty minutes later dropped an
other bolt into the train yard Of the
New Haven Railroad at Oak Point in
The Bronx.
There three men had just brought an
electric engine from a roundhouse and
were adjusting its motor. when there
came a great fash OF lightning. The
motor engine was enveloped for an in
slant In blue flames. and the three men
were knocked insensible. They were
Henry Esser. engineer. and Solomon
Newman and Joseph Salerno, brakemen.
All were burned severely on their faces
and hands and were taken to Lincoln
Hospital.
But with all its fury OF wind and
lightning. the storm brought little rain.
and its full effects In equalizing the citys
temperature were not felt until after
daylight. At A. NJ. the thermometer
stood at 70. and two hours later at 81.

To raise this stupendous out
lay, the United States foated two
immense Liberty Loans, yielding
well over $6,OOO,OOO,OOO; and i'm
posed special war taxes, chief a.
mong which was raising the pos

The close Of this strenuous year
