buildings were destroyed. Call for
aid was promptly needed by Wild
wood fire companies.
Z 1t sometimes seems that "when mis-
fortunes come, they come not single
spies, but in battalions;" aud this
proved to be the case In Cape May
county in this record-breaking week.
Nearly everyone believed that the
greatest violence OF the storm had been
exerted on Wednesday night andThurs-
day morning; not so. Last night the
winds were so terrific and the tide SO
high that Anglesea was flooded up TO
Hotel Scott, at which point the street
cars were compelled to stop. 1t is a
urce of relief now to say that this
demonstration of the force of wind and
rain and tides reached its maximum of
intensity about midnight last night,
when one of the highest tides yer seen
on the coast threatened to cover the
better part of the island.
At Wildwood Crest the ocean poured
in at a number of places, flooding most
Of the beach front as far as Pacific ave-
nue.. A row boat wa used on Pacific
avenue this Friday morning to trans
port passengers up as far as the arch.
Street cars could not proceed down Pa
cifc avenue further than the high
school building. Many planks and
beams and other debris vas seen float
ing around In the Crest, and where this
material came from is not yet kno wn-
whether from the boardwalk or from
buildings alo ng the board walk. Parts
of the Rio Grande road is a wreck, hole
after hole and gulley after gulley being
washed into it, but autos have been
able to>pass over 1t every day, thus en-
aiding the Reading railroad to MAIN
tain uninterrupted service between
Wildwood and Philadelphia in the
manner indicated in the fore part of
this article.
A great quantity of lumber stacked
up on the West WILD wood Extension
tract was ready for building new houses
aud bungalows, was carried by the
flood down to Rio Grande bridge and
much OF it may never be reclaimed.
More damage has been done to the
Reading railroad in the meadows and
this time is apparently out of commits
sion for some days. The Pennsy also
has its troubles at Beach Creek aud
Grassy Sounds, here the piling under
the bridges have been torn out and
washed away. The prospects Of ingress

or egress by rail, from the main line to
Wildwood, for a little while, are not
roseate.
AS we go to press, assurances are
multiplying that the storm has spent
its wrath and is now rapidly abating.
The wind is falling and soon all of US
will take up the tangled ends of mis-.
fortune and out of these temporary re-
verses put things into better shape
than ever before. Only once or twice
beforethi ii present storm was there a
near approach to the results we have
been loath to enumerate. That was in
1889, and in October, 1897. At that
time Wildwood was not in a position
to weather a hurricane so successfully
as it did in 1918.
The first mail to reach Wild wood
since Wednesday night was on Thurs
day, being brought over from Rio
Grande station at three p. M. by the
Adams Express big auto truck. This
truck made another trip in the evening,
bringing the second instalment of mail
at $50. The first mail this Friday
morning arrived in the same manner
at $50. This method of delivery will
be continued until the railroad beds
can be repaired.

Flying Machines in Evidence

Airplanes and dirigible balloons have
been very much in evidence in this To-
cality for the past two weeks, flying
hither and thither, and exciting much
curiosity. Last Saturday afternoon
people of Wildwood gasped in astonish-
ment TO see a big dirigible floating rig bit
over their heads and not far above the
tops of the houses. Ii was on the re-
turn trip from Stone Hsrbor, in the

GERMAN BOOTS
MADE Of PAPER

Clumsy Clodhoppers on Display in a
Store in Berlin Are Described by
Traveller Just Returned From That
City-Buyers Are Warned That the
Soles Will Only Last Seven Weeks.
Amsterdam, April 1.-THE new
German war boots and shoes which
have recently been on display at a
public exhibition in Berlin, are thus
described by Vorwaerts:
"Heavy, clumsy boots, made out of
all sorts of substitute materials, with
paper uppers and wooden soles several
centimenters in thickness, the weight
and bulk of them is increased by huge
nails and protectors with which they
are studded. The price fer these mon
strosities is enormously high. While
in peace times good durable leather
boots could be purchased for about II
marks, this war footwear for chill
dren costs II marks, for women %
marks and for men "a marks.
Moreover, the purchaser is warned
that the soles of the war boots will
only last seven or eight weeks. AS
each wooden sole costs from 5 to 6
marks to replace, each pair of mems
boots will lcost the wearer at least 40
marks every six months. Whether the
paper will keep out the cold and wet
is more than doubtful"
