 Chicago, Aug. 1.-In the summer column of months, July has made its exit more in the manner of the proverbial March lion. Heavy rains. floods, extremely low temperatures for the season and even snow fall at Fl Paso marked the parting bow of normally sizzling month.
 Floods In Detroit
 At Detroit, the heaviest rainfall in years caused damage estimated at $5O0.OO0 to $1,000000. Transporta- ton service was crippled, industrial plants, residences and streets suf- fered from the downpour and valu- abld records were ruined when two feet of water flooded the basement of the city hall. Among the struc- lures damaged were two large build- ings of the Ford river rouge plant. 5000 men on the night shift being put 10 work on pumps.

Severe Shocks In This Area Would Affect Economic Life of En- tire Country, Says Report.
Might Cut Off Oil Supply and Hazard Is Explained as One to Cause No Little Alarm.

Boston. Aug. P-Severe earth quake shocks in Kansas, New Mex leo, Texas and Oklahoma where tremors were felt yesterday would have a serious effect upon the oil supply and the economic life of the entire eastern part of the United States and Canada, 1t is asserted by the engineering economies founda- ton which is engaged in the study of earthquake hazards.
 Very Serious Possibility
 From an economic standpoint" said the foundation, mo more sig nificsnt earthquake has occurred in this most significant year of earth quake hazard than that of yester- day. xx x1f you will take your map of North America and lay your pencil along the lines of the east of this continent from Gaspe bay on the north to Texas on the south. you will find that that pencil will take in the lines of the oil deposits of the east of the United States and you will find that the areas which have felt earthquake are crossed by pipe lines, whose destruction would be inevitable In an earthquake of even moderate severity with the result of cutting off the fuel on which 8 great part of our modern life depends.
 Traces Path
 Move your pencil over to the west and you will find that from the area containing the largest oil pro- ducer in Canada, in Alberta. down to Montana. through northern Califor- nia to Santa Barbara, runs a core spending line of earthquake felt this year, which Is on the oil line of the west. Today. therefore. both of the oil producing sections of the country Are almost completely covered with lines which show where earthquake has been felt.
 "Now, If you turn from the map Of North America to the map of the world and lay your pencil on the Aine of oil production which comes down through Japan from Shang- fai to Java you will find that In this same year in which we are now rv- ing qualSes have been reported from much of this area"
 The foundation made 1t plain that 1t considered this hazard to the oil producing centers one of the great est of those brought about by earth quakes, since every machine is de- pendent upon fabrication oil.
 The fact that the controlling force of earthquake appears on these three great lines is of primary i'm portance to the life of every man who runs an automobile, lights a gas burner or heats his house or cooks his food by use of oil," said the foundation.
 4 Real Menace
 The fact that the whole of the oil supply flowing to the city can be cut off by single earthquake reach ing across the pipe lines shows a possible condition which greatly in. breases the total menace to the city or course, we have the reservoirs ir Shc city. Of course, methods of re- pairing are known, but grave earthquake seriously affects reser. roirs containing liquids and repair. Ing pipe lines depends upon organ ized services which would be com plofelv disruDted hv the same earth.

By Tho Associated Press.
 New York, Aug. 1,--WhiIe the populace of the Ruhr valley. in the western section of Germany, is ar ranging fctcs to celebrate the de- parture of the last of the French occupational forces, there is misery and suffering near the Polish from tier. In the northeastern corner Of the country.
 Expelled from Country The cause is the arrival there of thousands of Germans who have been virtually expelled from Poland because they voted in favor of Ger many in the upper SiIesian plebi- scite. Upper Siesia formerly be- longed to Germany and the plebi- scite. held in 1920 to determine the disposition of the territory was pro- vided for in the Versailles peace ! treaty.
 Conditions Awful
 Schneidemuhl is the scene of great enCampment where the eviCt- cd Germans are living temporarily, and dispatches from that place de- scribe their conditions as pitiable They have been coming across the frontier in droves for the last two days as the time limit for their VOL untary departure expired at mid night last night Rather than take the chance of forCible eviction, which is expected 10 begin today. the men and women loyal to Ger many, with their children and all the worldly possessions they could take with them, departed for the German side Of the frontier. They now are crowded In barracks and temporary shelters and the authori- ties are faced with the serious prob lem of providing homes and en- ployment for them.
 Poland Explains
 Poland explains that her decision to eXpel the Germans is based on ar arbitration verdict of the court 0 international justice at the Hague . Germany has declared that she dit > not believe the expulsion orde would be carried out, but that if was she would take measures to re | turn to Polish soil Poles who are O German territory.

.X.CROWN PRINCE DEFENDS WAR PLAN Publishes Book Entitled "I Seek

 '-' BLAMES OTHER COUNTRIES
Concludes Volume With Prediction That Versailles Spirit Must Be Destroyed Before Humanity Be Be At Peace

Berlin. Aug. Pl-The former crown prince has written a book. T Seek the Truth" with which he takes his place among those seek ing to refute the accusation of war guilt against Germany.
 Denies Charges
 "Who would cavil at Bismarck. at Kaiser Wilhelm H." he asks flor having conducted an expansive policy when all those powers allied against us had been pursuing the Identical policy for many years2 At all times those rulers and statesmen enjoyed the greatest prestige who had succeeded In increasing their nations prosperity. For centuries the paramount object of those na- tions who became Germany's violent accusers had been their own ag- grandizement. By what right then is Germany stigmatlzed as would be devourer of the rest of the world 2"
 IolHtS 10 E1Sldnu
 The writer points out that Eng land managed to conquer one-tifth of the globe and says that France grabbed numerous overseas posses sions, In many instances with the most ruthless means. Even the mighty Russian realm which he says was capable of supporting double its pre-war population, is described as striving to extend It's vast east Asiatic domain to the shores of the Pacific.
 BeSrlIdgcd Germany "But Germany" the writer asserts Twas begrudged the few colonies she had acquired almost without she'd ding single drop Of blood" The writer then goes to some palms to dispel the widespread belief that the old-time monarchial set was re- sponsible for the imperial policy of expansion. It Is stated emphatically that the conservatives before all 1 others were the ones to offer unre- lenting opposition to the acquisition 1 of colonies.
 England is told that, living in a glass house, she is not justified ir throwing stones at others for an in, | fringement of Belgian neutrality. 4 detailed description Is given of the hombardment of Copenhagen by the 
 British navy in 1907 and the loot l ing Of the Danish fleet, all without q declaration of war.
