Utah were shaken Sunday at 1892
p. m. by an earthquake which wrecked
virtually all buildings and residences
In Hemet and San JacintO, two inland
towns fOrty-five miles southeast Of
Riverside, Cal, and caused minor prop

apparent at nearly every point over
California south from a line from Bar
stow to the coast and in some parts of
Arizona, although no damage was re-
ported there.
In Los Angeles and vicinity the dam
age was apparent mainly In broken
windows Hundreds OF large plate
glass windows here were shattered.
Several large buildings showed cracks
or bulges, but the extent Of such dam
age to buildings could not be definitely
ascertained.
Homes all over southern California
were shaken, dishes ratified, furniture
moved, and, in many places the shock
was such as to cause the occupants to
vacate hastily.
In Arizona the shock was reported to
have extended as far east as Selligman
and Milford in Utah.

The Lake Moor and Florence +
Victims Of Germans.

Washington. Two disasters to
American ships in the war zone, re-
ported Sunday by Vice Admiral Sims,
commander in chief of the American
naval forces abroad, are believed to
have taken a toll of eighty-six lives.

by German submarine in English
waters and forty-five members of her
crew are missing.
