PHOTO OF PREMIER
Instructive Action Of Officer Reveals
Respect of French for
N. CIemenceau.

Paris.-Little unconscious acts often
reveal the real measure of the popu-
larity of a great leader.
In the photographers showcase not
far from the fashionable Pare Mon
ceau there is among other pictures an
excellent almost life-size head of NJ.
Clemenceau. A young French officer
who was passing the shop the other
day glanced casually at the showcase.
Perceiving the picture of his chief he
instinctively raised his hand to sa-
lutte and passed on unaware that his
spontaneous tribute had been observed.
In the early days of the long-range
gun bombardment of Paris, says the
Matfn, it was stated that the shells
were made from new type of steel
alleged with vanadium, which gave it
exceptional properties. But analysis
has shown that the shells are made of
ordinary nickel and chrome steel, such
as is in current use for making guns
both in France and Germany and
whose properties are well known.

Old Boreas in Action Saturday Night
and Yesterday---Gales Cause Death
and Damage Elsewhere.

The rainy weather of Saturday end
ed in high southeast winds at night
and during the early hours OF yester-
day the wind shifted to the west and
northwest, and soon attained We
locity of nearly fifty miles an hour.
March had made its advent like a
lamb, but It's leonine nature asserted
itself throughout the day, with brief
lull while the sun was setting. Early
in the night borean gales were again
in evidence, but later the blasts came
after long intervals and finally susid-
ed. This morning the wind had turn-
ed to the south, and mild spring cor
ditions set in as the sun mounted
higher in the heavens.
Alexandria ard vicinity was pe"-
turbed by the tail end of severe dis
turbance which left death in its wake
in other places.
The storm was severe in Washing
ton where it shattered severa! large
plate glass windows, tore down awn-
ings' and leveled trees in different
sections of the city. The damage
will reach about $4,000.
Two persons are known to be dead,
another is reported killed, four per-
sons are in a Vanwert, Ohio, hospital
more or less seriously injured, between
25 and so farm homes are completely
or partly demolished and scores OF
barns and outbuildings were blown
down, the result of a tornado which
swept that section of the county
Saturday. The financial loss is es-
timated. at from 100000 to $1,000
900.
The tornado played queer prants
in Ohio. Hundreds of chickens were
entirely denuded and left without a
feather. One chicken, with only feT
feathers left, was blown high i'll the
air and landed on telephone post:
from which it was rescued. Big
boulders, weighing d ton, were found
in the roads at several points, haT-
ing been LITE. from fields or creeks
and carried many yards. In Unicn
township a farm house was hftaI
from it's foundation and was carried
into an adjoining field. A heavy
stove in this house was carried half
a mile by the twister.
The storm was severe in Cumber-
land, Nd, where considerable dam
age resulted.
