Overtaken by a tropical storm while
in a rowboat in the Gulf of Mexico off
Galveston, Tex, soldier in the Army
Air Corps has become man without
country, the War Department learned
today.
The man is carried as absent with
out leave" on the rolls of the head
quarters squadron, Randolph Field,
Tex, to which he was assigned. The
first word Of him is contained in
letter which reads like the widest. OF
modern fiction. Until the story has
been checked, the missing mans su-
perior officers at Randolph Field are

Driven to Sea by Gale.
In it the missing man says that, while
on pass from his home field. he was
caught in the storm and driven off
shore. A rIm-rmner rescued him, but
was driven to sea by Coast Guard
vessel After several days at sea the
rum-runner transferred him to
Swedish tramp steamer bound Tor
Central American port, where ne was
told he could catch steamer BACK 10

would have population OF 348,OOO, or
nearly 100 900 more than the basis OF
redistricting provides for.
Would Combine Two Districts.
The new district would, under Sen
ator WoOdsOn'S plan, combine the Two
districts in their entirety, with the eX-
ception of two countries. These, Stat
ford and King George Counties, would
be transferred from the present eighth
district to the first.
It is the general belief of the eighth
district delegation that the original bill
to combine the eighth and first dis
trictS, and which came from the
seventh district camp, had the backing
of both the tenth and seventh districts,
1t being the opinion of the delegations
representing these two sections that
they could maintain their own integrity
by comt ming to destroy the eighth.
Senator WoodSon'S bill, therefore, Is
taken as evidence of admitted defeat on
the part of the tenth district, which,
under the eighth districts bill, would
be entirely divided among the districts
surrounding it. The delegation from the
tenth, Northern Virginia legislators de-
clare, acknowledges the fate Of the
first plan and is now ready to sacrifice
JllelI IOIIIleI any IlIC StNCA4l4l, IA O4OCA
TO save themselves.
While already assured of the strength
of their bill through certain trades that
have been maneuvered to bring other
delegations into line, the eighth district
delegation sees in this latest situation
a further evidence Of the strength OF
the position that they now hold.
Position Now Favorable.
What at first appeared to be hope
less situation. with nearly all of the
other districts conspiring to sacrifice
the eighth because of its small size,
has now been changed to the most ia
vorable position occupied by any of the
districts that are likely to be affected
by rediStricting.
Working as a unit, the Northern Vir-
ginia delegation expects to labor tire
leSsly until the final vote is taken on
the rediStriCting question, but it will,
from this time on, it believes, be
pushing toward victory rather than de-
feat, as its original position indicated.
Representative Howard w. Smith has

volstead law was regarded only few
months ago as the first step by the
vets to break down the barriers Of COM
plete prohibition by letting in beer
first. beer of low alcoholic content, and
then beer Of the normal, pre-war al
coholic content. Now the scene has
shifted entirely. The ardent vets, ac-
companied by those who are moved by
what they conceive to be the correct
theory of government, have taken as
their goal the job of wiping the Con-
stitution clean Of any control Of the
liquor traffic, while their opponents
merely wish to retain in the Consti-
tuition not the prohibition against
strong drink. but the prohibition against
where 1t is to be consumed.
The very sound objection to modifica-
ton of the Volstead act advanced by
some of the vets themselves is that the
situation regarding control of liquor
would be unnecessarily confused; a
new liquor traffic, or beer traffic, would
be established in advance of the final
decision regarding ultimate control OF
all liquor traffic after repeal or modi-
f1cation of the eighteenth amendment,
and the States themselves, which under
the proposals by both candidates are to
handle this traffic with or without
constitutional limitations, would be
given in advance a problem in the
of beer alone. And this prob
lem would be in addition to the one
faced by the Federal Government of
setting up new machinery to deal with
a new element of law enforcement.

The Galveston Sea Wall.

In the accounts of the disaster in
Texas due to violent tropical storm
which roared in from the Gulf and
ragged as far inland as Houston, caus-
ing many deaths and great destruc-
ton of property, it is stated that Gal
weston, though close to the center of
the gale, suffered compar ltively little
damage, with no deaths. This was
due to the great sea wall which was
constructed at an expense of nearly
s5,000000 after the disaster Of Septem-
Der 8, 1900, resulting from a similar
visitation. That storm, which likewise
originated in the West Indies and swept
across the Gulf with terrific violence,
took 5000 lives and damaged more than
S17,000,o00 worth of property in Gal
weston. The waters of the Gulf Of
Mexico were driven over the city. The
Gulf front was strewn with wrecks
The bridges leading from the mainland
to the island were crushed by wind and
water. A relief train sent to the
OIL AShCl1 Slby "oS dLidblC W lCdNlA lI
all railway lines were destroyed. The
hurricane continued for nearly thirty
hours, destroying half dozen smaller
towns in addition to the wrecking of
Galveston. The storm passed upstate
and left trail of wreckage in its path
as far as Houston.
After this catastrophe a plan which
had been proposed fourteen years be-
fore for the construction of sea wall
as a means of protection was revived
The State Constitution had previously
been amended after hurricane in Sep
tember, 1875, granting all counties and
cities bordering on the Gulf the right
to issue bonds and to construct break
waters. Army engineers were assigned
by the Federal Government to make
plans for and supervise the construction
of this barrier. The work was started
as soon as possible. The construction Of
the wall, sixteen feet wide at the base,
seventeen feet high and five feet wide
at the top, involved the raising of the
grade of the water front, which cost
about 100000 in addition.
The storm of Sunday night and Mon
day was resisted by this barrier in its
first great test since its construction
The mountainous waves were checked
and, as stated, Galveston suffered little
damage from the fury of wind and
water. Had the breakwater not been
constructed Galveston would probably
have been again devastated to an extent
of more than the total cost of this work.
The inland cities, however, cannot be
thus protected. The devastation in
Texas on this occasion was mainly due
to the tremendous fcrce of the wind,
against which no barrier can be erected.
But for the wall at Galveston the total
damage in Texas on this occasion would
have risen to an appalling height. Thus
again is the value of sound defensive
works demonstrated, without regard for
cost.

Volstead Law Modification.

1t becomes more apparent that the
proposal to modify the Volstead act In
advance of repeating or modifying the
eighteenth amendment is one that not
only divides vets from drys, but divides
the vets themselves. One division is
found in o dispute as to whether the
purpose of volstead act modification Is
TO realize the slogan OF Beer In Our
Time" or whether it is to realize the
revenue that would come from taxing
beer as a legalized beverage. But the
chief objection will probably come from
those who see in the changing senti-
ment on prohibition. evidenced by the
declarations Of the parties and the
candidates, their long-sought oppor-
tunity for q thorough revision OF the
whole method of liquor control and do
not care to be enticed away from that
trail by taking up the hazardous busi-
ness Of defining, by act OF Congress,
what constitutes an Intoxicating bev-
