tween the national guard and the regular

were practically destroyed. Army buildings
were also badly damaged at Mercedes
where three soldiers were slightly injured.
With the exception of damaged roofs and
destroyed chimneys and few plate glass
windows smashed and many trees destroy
ed, Brownsville escaped serious damage
Probably the electric light lines and tele-
phone and telegraph lines sustained the
greatest damage and this was at the point
where the Gulf Coast Lines tracks and the
electric light power lines cross. near the
light plant. An incoming passenger train
Wednesday night struck lowhanging feed
wire, the current in which already had been
cut off, resulting in a number of poles be-
ing pulled down. The telegraph and tele-
phone wires alongside the track were thus
cut down, and practically every wire sew
cred. The headlight of the engine was prac-
tically torn off in the contact.
With the exception of two men hurt i'm

by being struck by some object, there were
Few or no persons injured in Cameron

Property damage at San Benito was not
serious. consisting as in other cases, prin-
cipally to light buildings. The San Benito
hotels veranda was practically destroyed,
and partially lifted to the roof of the
building. Several buildings in the business
district sustained broken plate glass win
dows. and other minor damages
Harlingen reports only slight damage to
a few buildings. At Mercedes few avn
ings were blown down and several plate
glass windows broken.
Crop damage will not be serious, as was
at first supposed. McAlen, Donna and
Mercedes all report that crops appear to be

mato. cucumber and canteloupe crops may
have been destroyed. The tower Of the

WEDNESDAYS STORM IS
FIRST ON RECORD FOR
SPRING OF THE YEAR

Old residents of Brownsville-somc
of them with a residence here dating
back forty and fifty years asserted
Wednesday nights storm is the first
disturbance of the kind they have ever
knewn i'm this section at this time of
the year.
Springtime disturbances, such as are
of frequent occurrence in North Texas,
Oklahoma and other parts of the CEN
tral west. have never before been ex-
perienced in this section. Storms as
severe, or more severe. have occurred
on several occasions, the worst having
been recorded in the early seventies
at the time Bagdad was destroyed.
and in 1882, but these have always
been West Indian hurricanes which
never appear earlier than August. Sc
we're storms never come from the inter
ior. and that of Wednesday night
seems TO have formed itself in this sec
tion, and spent itself here.
In October. 1912, a hurricane blew
over part Of this section, and although
it registered gale as high as rs
miles an hours miles faster than
that of Wednesday, was far less
destructive than Wednesday nights

H in DELEGATION
HEAD ADMITS Sins
AGAINST BELCIANS.
Count Won Brockdorff Rantzau
Addresses Peace Conference in
Session at Versailles.
WILLING TO REPAIR IT

VERSAILLES, Thursday.-In his speech
before the peace conference yesterday
Count Won Brockdorff- Rantzau, head Of
the German delegation, said in part:
Public opinion in al 1.-The countries of
our adversaries is resounding with the
crimes Germany is said to have committed
in the war. We are ready to confess wrong
that may have been done. We do not come
to belittle the responsibility of the men
who waged war politically and economically
or deny crimes which may have been COM
mitted against the rights Of peoples.
1--WE repeat the declaration made in the
reichstag at the beginning Of the war that
wrong had been done Belgium and we are
willing TO repair it. Hundreds of thous-
ands of non-combatants who have perish
ed since November IL by reason of the
blockade were killed with cold deliberation
after our adversaries had conquered and
victory had been assured them. Think Of
that when you speak of guilt or punish
ment.
"The measure of guilt of all those who
have taken part can only be stated by an
impartial inquest before neutral commits
sion before which all principal persons of
the tragedy are allowed to speak and to
which all archives are opened. We have
demanded such an inquest and repeat this
demand in this conference. Also, as we
have stated TO our adversaries, alone and
without any allies, we are not quite with
out protection.
"You yourselves have brought US an
ally; namely. Right, which is guaranteed by
the treaty and by the principles of peace.
The principles of President Wilson have
become binding to both parties to the war,
for you as well as for us, and also for our
former allies. The various principles de-
manded from us heavy national and eco
nomic sacrifice. but the holy fundamental
rights Of our peaople are protected by this
treaty.
you will find us ready to examine upon
this basis the preliminary peace which you
propose to us with the firm intention Of
rebuilding in common work with you that
which has been destroyed and repairing any
wrong which may have been committed,
the wrong TO Belgium"
