storm stated that at. 4 o’clock this
morning the wind at Charleston had
reached a velocity of sixty miles from
the northwest, the barometer reading
29.02 inches. Only minor damage has

nouncement today that the Seventh in-

Camp Cotton, near the Rio Grande, to
Fort Bliss, gave rise to reports that it
was being moved to make room for the
Sixteenth infantry, which was said to
be on its way out of Mexico. General
Bell said, however, that the newly
formed Thirty-fourth infantry is to

where it had been absolutely removed

region, has been blown up by the Ital-

office announced today.
telephones in Charleston were out of

er he had made his way out of Charles-
ton to send his report, and before he
could be questioned the wire was lost.
The weather observer at Savannah
was in communication with the Charles-
ton station at 10 o’clock this morning
and learned that the barometer had
fallen to 29.02 inches. Whether it is
still dropping he did not say. Reports
as to whether the wind was abating
were conflicting.
Efforts of the weather bureau to
warn persons on islands along the
coast undoubtedly saved lives. Fam-
ilies at Tybee and the Isle of Palms
and other resort sites hurried to the
nearest cities late last night. Dam-
age was reported from nearly all of
these points today.

cornered hats and powdered wigs, blue
coats with knee trousers and slippers.
The girls wore poke bonnets, low-
necked bodices and full skirts. The
marching of the boys was extremely
good and they were loudly applauded
as then entered the field.
The biggest feature of this episode
was the entrance of “The Spirit of ’76,”
taken from the painting which showed
three boys entering the field, two car-
rying and Playing drums while the
third played a fife. Every detail of
the famous painting was carried out,
including the bloody bandage around
the head of one of the drummers.

of George Washington to Betsy Ross

Charleston, S. C., July 14.-—The naval
collier Hector, said to be bound for
San Domingo, carrying fifty marines,
is in distress pff Charleston. The light-
house tender Cypress went out at 10
o’clock this morning to the assistance
of the Hector, but was unable to breast
the heavy seas and returned.
The tug Vigilant, which had been in
wireless communication with the Hec-
tor, reported at 12:30 o’clock that a
steamer was standing by, but it was
not known whether she had transferred
the marines and crew. Wireless com-
munication is difficult.
At 1:30 o’clock this afternoon wire-
less advices were that the Hector was
fourteen miles off Charleston and was
coming in at the rate of four miles an
hour. Details of her condition were
not available, but the steamer Alamo
was in touch with her, ready to lend
assistance.

the entire spectacle. Justice carried

FIRST EPISODE.
The first episode represented an In-
dian village. The squaws and their
children entered first and took their
seats around the campfire. Laura May
Kelso presented an Indian war dance.
The Indian warriors burst upon the
field from all directions, shouting and
yelling as they ran. Their war dance
was extremely good. Next came the
missionary, who bore a cross and moved
slowly around the field.
Following the missionary were the
Pilgrims, men and women, on their way/
to church. The men carried guns, while
the women carried Bibles. After no
little excitement the leader of the Puri-,
tans and the Indian chief had a con-
ference and a truce was arranged. The
episode ended with the smoking of a
pipe of peace by the entire village.

Renewing their great offensive in
Northern France at daybreak today, the
British broke into the German second
line in the Somme region along a four-
mile front. A furious battle is in prog-
ress.
In the Verdun region the Germany
have so far not followed up their bom-
bardment of the Fort Souville region
by further infantry assaults. Heavy
artillery fire in this sector is being con-
tinued.
German activity was noted north of
the Aisne, where attempted attacks
were stopped by French machine gun
fire near Ville-au-Bois and on the Vaul-
cere plateau.
The British advance reported in to-
day’s official dispatches apparently con-
stitutes the second phase of the great
Anglo-French offensive in the neigh-
borhood of the Somme river which be-
gan July 1 over a front of something
more than twenty miles. The first
phase of this offensive carried the Brit-
ish forward to, and gave them posses-
sion of,' Contalmaison and Montauban.
The reported capture of Longueval
and Bazentin-Segrand indicates that the
British in today’s assault advanced to-
ward or northward from Contalmaison
or Montauban, and that they apparently
have brought their right Mpg on a pat
with the French left and are thrusting
a salient between Peronne, the imme-
diate French objective, and Bapaume,
the point at which the British move- I
ment is reported to be directed.
Longueval is about three and a half
miles east of Contalmaison and Bazen-
tin-Legrand is midway between those
towns.
The recent favorable turn of events
for the Russians in Turkish Armenia,
resulting in their recapture of Mamak-
hatun, has been taken advantage of by
Grand Duke Nicholas to press the Turks
further westward. The Russians are
now operating west of Mamkhatun and
also are gaining ground in the Balburt
region to the north along the Tahoruk.

Charleston.

Savannah, Ga., July 14.—Two, men
were killed and great damage suffer-
ed by shipping in Charleston, according
to a brief telephone report received
here this morning.
Charles W. Strong, local weather ob-
server, received a telephone massage
from Observer Garrison at Charleston
this morning. He reported the ba-
rometer at Charleston fell to 29.02 dur-
ing the night, with n northwest wind
which reached 64 miles an hour last
night.
There had been no great damage to
property and only one death, according
to this report. The tides were very
high.
Houston was portrayed after the paint-
ing by McArdle.
KLANSMEN MAKE A HIT.
The fourth episode, which represent-
ed the War between the States, was of
considerable interest. The entrance of
the Ku Klux Klan was the signal for
much applause. This was increased in
volume when the Southern woman ap-
peared with a banner which read “7,500
costumes made by women of the South
and not a secret betrayed.” The Ku
Klux banner in yellow and black and
with a dragon in the center was also
displayed. It bore the Latin motto,
“Quod Semper, quod ubique quod ab
omnibus”—What always, what every-
where, and what by all is held to be
true. \
Of an equal interest was the presen-
tation of the battle ofi Galveston. The
Confederate and Federal soldiers en-
tered from opposite sides of the field
and after marching half way around
the field they met and marched down
the center of the field side by side As

Georgia and South Carolina Suffer From
Blow,
By Associated Press.
Charleston was cut off from con-
tinued wire communication early to-
day as a result of the hurricane
that struck the Georgia and
South Carolina coasts late last night,
sending the wind velocity to a max-
mum of 64 miles an hour, claiming
three lives, and doing more or less dam-
age to coast resorts and cities.
Fragmentary reports from Charles-
ton indicate that two lives were lost
there, that the water front was in-
undated by very high tides and that
damage had been done to shipping,
public utilities and much private prop-
erty. A negro was reported drowned
off Tybee, near Savannah, last night.
Summerville, S. C., 22 miles from
Charleston, was in communication with
the city for a short time at 10 o’clock
this morning. A telegraph operator re-
ported that the front of Kress’ store
in lower King street had been blown
in and indicated that two men were
killed then. Poles, trees and other de-
bris litter the streets, he said, stop-
ping street car service. Later the wire
from Summerville failed.

and Ohio.
By Associated Press.
Cleveland, O., July 14.—John H.
Clarke, selected as associate justice
of the supreme court of the United
States, is 59 year old and a bachelor.
The only political office he ever held
was the United States district judge-
ship, to which he was elevated two
years ago by President Wilson.
However, Judge Clarke has long been
a leader in the Democratic party in
this city and state. He was several
times a candidate for United States sen-
ator. His campaign two years ago was
halted by his appointment to the fed-
eral bench.
Judge Clarke was born at Lisbon, O.,
Sept. 18, 1857; attended the Western
Reserve university here: was graduat-
ed in 1877, and two years later moved
to Youngstown, where he practiced law
until his removal to Cleveland in 1897.
Judge Clarke was for a number of
years chief counsel to the Nickel Plate
railroad. He is financially interested
in the Youngstown Vindicator.

shipping, rural credits and conserva-
tion bills.
While Representative Kitchin was at
the White House, Senator Gallinger,
the minority leader, was announcing on
the floor that Republicans of that body
never contemplated a filibuster against
government shipping, revenue or any
other legislation pending, and that they
would co-operate with the Democrats
to complete the program and adjourn.
“The legislative program is not in
our hands,” said Senator Gallinger, “but
on whatever the majority concludes to
lay before us they will find the minor-
ity ready with good natured co-opera-
tion. The minority is in favor of the
child labor, workmen’s compensation,
and immigration bills and hope they
may be passed.”
“Will you support the vocational,
education bill?” asked Senator Hoke
Smith of Georgia.
“Yes, that is another good bill,” said
Senator Gallinger.
‘ Will you support the constitutional
amendment for woman suffrage?” ask-
ed Senator Thomas.
“The senator from New Hampshire
will,” replied Senator Gallinger. “But
I can not speak with authority for
my associates regarding this measure.”

from Amsterdam that the principal ob-

convey a consignment of damonds.
At least one member of the sub-

as supercargo, made application to the
local immigration authorities to be
landed in this country. The appli-
cation was granted after the usual
legal formalities.
City officials who visited the (sub-
marine quoted Capt. Koenig as saying
that Zeppelin airship freighters are
being built in Germany for trans-At-

“To you,” Capt. Koenig was quoted
as saying, “the trip of the Deutschland
is a great achievement. You must not
be too enthusiastic over it, because a
bigger surprise is coming. A Ger-
man Zeppelin airship or mabye I should
say airships are being built in Ger-

ditional legislation was desired and
Mr. Wilson replied that he was satis-
fied witli the work done by the house,

Paris, July 14.—"Tle central em-
pires can be under no illusion as to
the possibility of reducing the allies
to a confession of defeat,” said Presi-
dent Poincare in an address today, “and
of winning from their weariness a
peace which, for Prussian militarism,
would be only a stratagem for hiding
preparations for fresh aggression.
“They know well that the seas are
closed to them, that they have lost
their colonies, and they know equally
well that the allies rely less on the
geographical positions of their trenches
than on the condition of their troops,
and their reserves, their capacity for
resistance and offensive, and the moral
temperament of its peoples and their
armies.
"We are fighting not for honor alone,
but for honor and, life. We are seek-

provinces and those seized forty-six
years ago, for reparation-for the vio-
lation of rights at the expense of
France or her allies and for the guar-
antees necessity for a definitive safe-
guard of our national independence.”
President Poincare’s address was de-
livered in connection with the cele-
bration of the French national holi-
day. The president bestowed decora-
tions on the families of soldiers who
have fallen at the front.
