HOW STORMS HALTED
JAP OPERATIONS
Washington, October 21.—Details of the
storm which interfered with early Japa
nese operations against Kiauchau were
given In mail advices reaching the state I
department today from the American vice
consul at Chefoo, China. The vice consul
not only confirmed the large loss of life,
but said thousands were made homeless
and left to face famine.
A series of heavy rain and windstorms
immediately preceded the typhoon, which
occurred .September 8.
“Considerable damage was done in
the city of Chefoo,” said the report, “and
while exact figures are not obtainable
it is probable a score or more of Chinese
lost their lives by drowning.” ,
Germans Occupy Bruges
Berlin, October 13.—(Via London and
The Hague. October 21. 11.30 a. m.)—The
city of Bruges, having been occupied
by the Hermans without fighting, was in
no way damaged. The churches and mu
seums are intact today.
being assisted through bread lines. Ac
cording to the conufdt tee's reports, there
being more than 300,000 of these persons
In Brussels alone. The supply of food
for these bread stations, it is estimated,
w ill not last more than a week longer.
It is expected the number of persons
icquiring relief w ill increase to a million
within a month.
A stream of specially chartered steam
ships will soon start for Holland with
cargoes consigned to officers of the com
mission at various places in Belgium.
These officers will he under direct con
trol of the commission and will be lo
cated In London. Rotterdam. Antwerp,
Brussels, Ghent, Liege and other points.
When necessary, tlie commission will
operate with the Belgian national relief
committee in Brussels. To insure ef
fective working of this co-operation,
members of the American commission in
Belgfttm will be made members of the
Belgian commission. Care will be taken
to see that this co-operation does not
affect the neutrality of the commission,
which is to work under the approval of
both the English and German govern
ments.
Has Half Million
Half a million dollars w'ere placed at
the disposal of Mr. Hoover yesterday
fov Belgian funds and through, Ambas
sador Page $750,000 more will be turned
over to the < uramission today.
Speaking of the work of the commis
sion, Mr. Hoover said:
“Wo are advised by Brand Whitlock.
American minister to Belgium, that the
position of Belgium with regard to the
food supply is |becoming absolutely crit
ical, inasmuch as there are 7.000,000 peo
ple in Belgium and the country imports
ft* per cent of its food. Imports have
ceased and as the country has been de
nuded of Us accumulated crops, virtually
the whole population Is faced with fam
ine. The problem, therefore, is infinitely
greater than the care of the refugees
who have left Belgium.
“Restrictions put on imports into The
Netherlands by England huve made It
virtually impossible for the Belgians to
obtain foodstuffs from neutral countries
and the creation of machinery which
can secure such imports to their coun
try has become a vital necessity.
“Baron Lambert and Emil Franqui of
the Belgian relief committee are In Lon
don. co-operating with us. und they as
sure ur that $1,000,000 worth of foodstuffs
will be requhed monthly during the com
ing winter to feed the Belgians. The
commission expects to conduct many soup
kitchens.
Beans and Teas Needed
“Beans and peas are especially needed.
We can am. ngo to handle any amount
oi food to Belgium by way of Holland.
Australia, who is sending 7000 frozen sheep
to Belgium, already has arranged for us
to distribute them.
“The commission hopes that the situa
tion may be brought urgently before the
American people, that this charity to a
bherty-lovlnpr people may take the prac
tical form of food supplies and that the
American organization already soliciting
help for the Belgians will co-operate with
the commission In the application of their
resources.’*
The commission is constituted as fol
lows: Walter lllnes Page, the American
ambassador; Brand Whitlock. American
minister to Belgium, and Henry Van
Dyke. American minister to The. Neth
erlands, honorary chairmen: Herbert O.
Hoover, chairman; William Hetntnan.
Brussels, vice chairman, and Millard
Whaler. Brussels, secretary. y
The members of the commission are:

all Americans resident in London: Hugh

tion at Brussels, and E. A. Hu lac, an

APPEAL TO 0. S. TO
Societies in Mexico Charge
Atrocities by Revolu
tionary Leaders
Washington, October 21.—An appeal to
the American government to protect the
Catholic clergy and church In Mexico,
and demand reparation for past outrages
was filed with the state department to
day by a committee of American Federa
tion of Catholic societies. Numerous in
statces of alleged atrocities by revolu
tionary leaders were set forth in a state
ment prepared by a committee appointed
at the Baltimore conference of the fed
eration.
■ The committee declared the attitude of
the Catholic clergy had been one of ab
solute neutrality, striving only to teach
the uneducated classes obedience and '
respect for constituted authority.
“The revolution which will shortly be
In control of the government in Mexico,”
said the statement, “has proclaimed as
a necessary means for the establishment
and working out of its programme the
suppression of three classes which it con
siders to be insuperable obstacles to its
purposes: the regular army, the Roman
Catholic party and the large landholders.
“As far as the Roman Catholic clergy
is concerned, they have held, no offices
nor have they been heard in councils of
the various governments which have
ruled the country during the pa*t 50
years. They have received no favor from
these governments. Instead they have
patiently borne their oppressive tyranny.
Neither have they taken part in any
overture.”

"A bigger basket, and a better basket
for the poor” was the decision of the
special committee of the Ensley lodge
of Elks, which met last night to arrange
for the annual minstrel show wtyiich Is
given for the benefit of *the- poor of the
city.
In the past few years the merchants
and business men of Ensley have con
tributed largely to the success of the
annual entertainment by their liberal pat
ronage of advertising space In the souve
nir programme and by the purchase of
tickets. The committee decided last night
that the time was inopportune to at
tempt to put on a show' at this time, ow
ing to business conditions, and that it
would be best to dispense with the min
strel this year* hut not the annual of
fering to those in need, and to this end
the members of the tydge will go down
in their pockets and defray the expenses
of the Christmas gifts of food And cheer.
It has been the custom of the lodge
to send to indigent families a basket
containing every necessity -for a Christ
mas dinner and fruit and candy for the
children. This year they expect to send
bigger baskets and more of them than
in previous years.
The Rev. Thomas N. Lepnox. who lias
been pastor for seven years of the First
Christian church of Pensacola. Fla., has
resigned his work at that place and Ac
cepted a call to the pastorate of the
Ensley Christian Church, and will begin
his work with the congregation Sunday
morning.

! ENGLAND TO KEEP
J
Seizure of American Steam
ers by British Cruisers
Explained—Fuel Is De
clared Contraband
Washington. October 21.—Great Brit
ain’s determination to keep from Ger
many cargoes of illuminating oil, which
might be made fuel for army motor
trucks, Zeppelins and aeroplanes, is re
sponsible for the seizure of American j
Standard Oil steamers by British cruisers.
This fact was developed in conferences
here today, after the state department
had requested release of the tanker John
IP. Rockefeller. The Standard Oil com
pany has arked the state department to
secure release of two more of its ships,
the Brlndilla, and Plature. Like the Rock
efeller. they were captured by British
warships while bound from American
ports to neutral, countries, carrying il
luminating oil. Only In the case of the
Rockefeller, however, has the department
felt warranted in taking immediate steps.
Tt was under the* American flag before
the war began, and. therefore, Is not sub- •
ject to questions which might arise In
connection with tjhe other two, which
were changed from foreign registry un
der the recent act of Congress.
The understanding at the British em
bassy is that illuminating oil has been
regularly declared contraband by the
British government., but that the notice
has not yet reach td other powers. It
was pointed out that exports of reflned
petroleum from America to the northern
neutral countries are far In excess of
the normal consumittion of thoqe coun
tries and it recently has developed that
illuminating petroleum is capable of be
ing used as a substitute for gasoline,
with properly designed motors.
Another angle of th*» question of trans
porting goods in neutral ships ai^peared
today when Mr. Van Rappard. the Dutch
minister, appealed to the state depart
ment to secure for Dutch vessels the
privilege of conveying neutral German
goods to America. In connection with the
exportation of Germaai dyestuffs to th,»
T nlted States, the government of Ger
many imposed the condition that the
good "should he transported in American
bottoms under pledge that they should
not be diverted to Germany's enemies.
If this privilege is egtended to Dutch
vessels. Dutch shipping interests, now
greatly depressed, would be much re
lieved.
Bessemer. October 21.—(Special.)—While
performing some stunts on a trapeze this
afternoon at the Tlaag circus, which was
showing in Bessemer, a girl whose name
could not be learned, fell to the ground
» distance of about 25 feet and was seri
ously injured, it is said. The girl was
swinging by her teeth when she fell. She
v»as carried from the main tent and no
inquiries about the accident were an
swered.
William M. Lacey, engineer and super
intendent of the mines at Belle Ellen.
1c in Bessemer visiting his parents, Dr.
and Mrs. E. P. Lacey, and he stated that
the coal output of the Blocton district
will be practically as large as any sea
son heretofore. Mr. lacey stated that
with the exception of two, every plant
in the district was working on full time
and that during the winter months there
v ill be plenty of coal for export. The
local coal needs are expected to surpass
that of any previous season.
Emmett Miller, tha 5-year-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Miller, died last
night at the home of his parents in
Jonesboro, after a short illness of spinal
meningitis. The child was stricken Sun
day and although everything medical skill
could do was none, the child died last
night. Tht funeral took place this aft
ernoon at Cedar Hill cemetery, the ser
vices being conducted by the Rev. C. M.
Morris, pastor of the Jonesboro Baptist
church.
More Men Are Needed
For Navy, Declares
Secretary Roosevelt
'Washington, October 21.—Eighteen thou
sand additional men would be needed by
the American navy to man all of its
ships for war, according to Acting Sec
retary Roosevelt, who issued a state
ment tonight supplementing Secretary
Daniels’ recent reply to criticisms of the
navy’s preparedness. Twelve of the 32
battleships cannot be put in service on
account of the shortage of men, Mr.
Roosevelt said. He declared, however,
that In regard to ships and equipment the
navy is in excellent general condition.
Like Secretary Daniels, the acting sec
retary maintained that battleships as
against submarines still are the par
amount factors “In any war In which the
belligerents are separated by great dis
tances of water.”
