covered with machine guns here
after and fire will be opened should

as was held last night, presuma bly,
by the ku klux klan, be held there.
an order issued today by Maj. John

advised" follows:
For several evenings detachments,
apparently of the ku Klux klan, have
/ entered the southern part of the
Camp Custer Reservation and held
meetings on Harbord Hill with the
evident intent of bringing their order
to the attention of members of this
camp.
Last night the guard sent to cap
. ture any such intruders on the reser-
; vation arrived too late, but it did
gather in number Of members of
= this camp who had been attracted to
the vicinity of the meeting, evidently
by idle curiosity.
THE members of this camp are
warned to keep away from any and all
: such meetings 1t is an offense for a
soldier to appear in his uniform at such
a gathering. The true patriotic soldier
serves honorably in an organization
wherein each member is recognized in
, the law by name.

and, should another meeting be held, this
fire will be opened.

avoid being in the vicinity of such a
meeting.

press so that all innocent parties may
be fully advised"

NORFOLK, Va, August 26.-Caught
in Pamlico Sound in the fringe Of the
northeast hurricane which swept by
the Virginia and North Carolina
coasts last night, the tug Mildred Nc
Nally of Philadelphia went to the
bottom. Her crew of 10 saved them
selves in their own boats.
Coast guard stations between Cape
Charles and Cape Henlopen were
questioned this morning as to the
whereabouts of the Southern Trans
portation Company's tug Bermuda,
which, with three light barges be-
hind her. was due at Cape Henry from
New York at daylight today. She has
not yet passed in Cape Henry.
The coast guard cutter Manning
was being coaled here at top speed
under orders to leave Hampton Roads
thoroughly to search of shore be-
tween Cape Hatteras and Delaware
Breakwater for disabled craft.
Communications Are Broken.
Telegraph and telephone lines all
along the coast were blown down by
the 60-mile gale which formed in the
Caribbean Saturday and this morning
was centered in the Atlantic not far
off Atlantic City, \. j. Complete in
formation regarding the damage done
along the Virginia and North Caro-
lima seaboard was slow in coming in.
At Cape Henry, which was not in
the center of the disturbance, the
wind last night attained a velocity of
6S miles an hour. The maximum We
locity registered at Norfolk was SO
miles and at the Hampton Roads ma
val operating base so miles.
Reports from life-saving stations
south of Norfolk indicate higher wind
velocities.
In Pamlico Sound, where the Nc
Nally tug foundered, the velocity was
said to have approached 80 miles an
hour. Telegraph wires to Cape Hat
teras, which was believed to have
been close to the center of the dis
turbance. were down and no report of
the wind velocity there was available
early today.
A shift of the wind from northeast
to west at Norfolk this morning indi-
Gated to meteorologists that the storm
had swept by. Storm signals were
ordered down between Baltimore and
Beaufort. Diminishing winds and
clearer weather were anticipated by
