 and it is believed the total of the
 dead will be almost double that
 number. Among the bodies found
 15 were those of negroes. West
 Point, Ga, also was hard hit, ten
 persons being reported dead there..
 Agrocola, a small settlement in Ala

 reports. it was believed, would show
 additional deaths in Alabama. That
 part of the state swept by the storm
 pra actically was cut off from com
 munication with all outside points.
 Reports from practically all over
 both Georgia and Alabama told of
 heavy doWnpours of rain, and winds
 that reached cyclonic velocity, In
 many places buildings were razed or
 their roofs were carried away. Trees
 were uprooted and havoc was wrought generally. It was feared the
 rains would cause the rivers to over
 flow their banks and add to the suf- fering.

Thus Eleanor Franklin Egan, in the

| Everywhere in the fields there were
| people down on their knees searching
far grasses to eat Those near the
! railroad lifted their heads and gazed at
our train as it rushed past and
caught glimpses Of terrible faces. An
old man sitting at the top Of an EN-
bankment waved a handful Of grass at
me where I stood at the car window
then threw his head back and laughed
maniaeal laugh. began then to feel
the cold chills with which I was to
shiver for days on end"
OF Kars she writes:
ut had been raining for days, and
wherever one looked one saw nothing
but misery and mud Between the rail
ROAD tracks were unsightly pools and
puddles, through which many human
scare-crows trudged back and forth.
"They were multiple Lazarus, and
the train was the rich mans table
They were begging for crumbs I be-
gan to hear for the first time the whin-
ing indescribable phrase that sounded
to me like 'O-na-ne, O-na-ne.' 1t was
so feebly, so plaintively murmured,
'O-na-ne.'"
Mrs. Egan asked what It meant and
was told the nearest equivalent was
"Oh, my soul!" But" she says, at
was moro than that; 1t was a prayer
for mercy"
Describing Z makeshift hospital be-
fore the arrival Of the Near East Relief
workers, Mrs. Egan writes:
"The sick In their unbelievable rags
were lying around on the foors-bun-
lies Of unimaginable Indebtedness.
The doctor was not doing anything at
all for them. What could he do? He
had not 50 much as q single ounce of
medicine Of any kind. The little peo-
pie were more pitiable than the
adults. The ward, II may call it that,
had in it not one stick Of furniture of
my kind, and the children were all
wing on the dusty and rubbish -strewn
1oor with nothing under them and no
covering save the rags they wore"

rade who sleeps on the field of the

order. Witness: Boston, Gary, Oma-
ha, Youngstown, Melrose Park
