San Mego, Cal., Sept, 20.—In a ter-
rific hurricane that raged off the
lower California and northwest coast
of Mexico Tuesday Sept. 17 two
United Htates shipping board vessels
on their maiden trips were sunk, a
fleet of other craft was badly bat-
tered; the lower California town of
La Paz wa* partially destroyed and
the floating equipment of the United
States naval coal depot at Plchillnque
was damaged. News of the havoc
wrought by the storm was brought
hi ra today by a long overdue fishing
launch.
Several residents of I.a Paz were re-
ported killed. The crews of tho ves-
sels sunk were rescued by passing
steamers after being adrift three days
In open boats.
The United States shipping board
vessels that foundered after a terrific
battle with mountainous seas were
the Steel Steamer Blackford, north-
bound from an Atlantic port, with a
cargo of three thousand tons of coal,
end the wooden steamer Coos Bay
bound south In ballast.
William A. Brown, first mate of the
ill fated Blackford, arrived here as a
passenger on the launch from Magdal-
ana bay. Brown related a graphic
story on the loss of the Blackford.
No details of the loss of tho Coos
Bay have been received hero with the
exception that the wooden craft
foundered about fifty miles from
where the Blackford went down. llio
crew was landed at a Mexican port.
Tho damage to the seaport of La
Paz, according to Brown, will be
heavy. Brick and wooden buildings,
ho said, were razed by the gale. The
wharf at Lo Paz is reported to have
been almost totally destroyed. La l'oz
has a population of about 8,000 and
is a shipping point ror practically all
the agricultural and mining products
of the southern part of lower Cali-
fornia.
Much of the damage sustained at
the naval coaling station fit I'ichllin-j
quo which lies almost directly across
the gulf of California from Ui Paz,

that the crown prince bo given
seventy-five days' solitary confinement
for absenting himself without leave
from his garrison.
King Ferdinand also sent an emis-
sary to Bender, Bassarabla, where the
young couple are spending their
honeymoon, with instructions to try
to undo tho nuptial, but to no avail.
Tho bride refused to part with her
wedding ring and tho crown prince
declined to leave her.
Crown Prince Charles has n«t yet
voluntarily renounced his rights of
succession, and the king is reported
to be very angry. The Rumanian con-
stitution does not contain a clause
barring a morganatically married
crown prince front succession to the
throne.
The present case has a piquant fea-
ture In that it recalls that King Fer-
dinand in his youth had a love affair
with Heleno Vacaresco, his mother's
lady of honor. Premier Catarglu
threatened to resign it tho king did
not veto tho proposed union, and it
canto to nothing. Should Crown
Prince Charie.s renounce his rights of
succession, his brother, Nicholas,
would become tho heir apparent.
Nicholas Is fifteen years old, and phys-
ically weak.

i Washington, Sept. 26.—William B.
Colver, chairman of the federal trade
commission, testified today before the
senate agriculture committee in sup-
I port of the commission's recent ro-
j port charging monopoly anil profi-
! leering in tho packlnw industry and
' in reply to the protest to the presl-
j dent by the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States that the commission
exceeded its authority in conducting
the packers investigation and other
activities. Mr. Colver's testimony was
largely in support of tho commission's
allegations and hq game names of
numerous directors and former offi-
cers of the chamber of commerce who
he raid, are officers in banks which
have made largo loans to the packers.
He read from a list showing that
James Cousins of Detroit, Mich., a
director of the chamber, Is an officer
In a Detro.t bank which has nego- j
tlated a loan amounting to $250,000 j
to three of the five large packing I
firms; that M. L. Clouts of Pittsburg, j
a director In the chamber, also is a i
director in a bank which has loaned !
$150,000 to tho packers: that William ;

have totaled $1,593,000. Samuel Mc-ji
Roberts, a former vice president of j
the chamber, Mr. Colver said, is con-
nected with the National City bank of
Now York, which has made large
loans to tho packing Interests, while
j banks connected with J. 1'. Morgan j
& company of New York ais i have '
jnade such loans.
Most of the loans have been nego-
tiated since June 30, 1917, Mr. Colver
told the committee. Some of them
were unsecured and others were se-
cured by Liberty Bonds.
Loans by Morgan banks to the
packers wero not totaled by Mr. Col-
ver but figures he read from nearly
a dozen New York banks connected
with Morgan it Company amounted to
approximately $3,000,000.
communication system of the enemy
! forces in northern France and Bel-
gium. It would have threatened the
Belgian gateway into France and It
seems certain that a hasty retirement
by the enemy to the Meuse line must
have resulted.
Tho battle lines today are relatively
as they were in 1915 and the same
strategic factors hold good. For this
reason alone, many officers have be-
lieved that Marshal Foch, sooner or
lator would strike at tho enemy from
the'Champagne front and when word
of the new attack today was received,
their first Impression was that the
hour for the great allied effort had
come.
loiter advices, however, Indicated
that the new battle zone was east of
the moro level region around Rhelms,
where it had been anticipated the
road to the Belgian border would
more probably be sought. Apparently
Marshal Foch has struck first In the
region immediately west of Verdun
and until tho scope and direction of
his attack develops, officials withhold
judgment as to the grand objectives
at which the new drive may bo aimed.
Several facts of utmost significance
nnd of. particular interest to the peo-
plo of the United States are sharply
disclosed by the new offensive. For
one thing, the power and will of the
allied forces to continue hammering
at tho enemy without rest is apparent.
With the smoke of the battle in tho
•St. Mlhlel salient hardly cleared away
and with a fifty milo stretch of the
line to the north and south of St.
Quentin in a continual flame of at-
tack, It was possible to organize and
deliver a new blow on a forty mile
l'ront and drive it forward many miles
with its Intlal thrust Moreover, th«
Indicated German withdrawal Is add-
ed proof of the enemy's waning man
power. There is now no doubt that
he will not be allowed to rest a mo-,
ment and that the fighting will be
carried into the winter en a scale
never before possible.
Of direct national Interest here Is
the evident fact that the clearing up
of the St. Mihlel salient by General
Pershing's first army In Its first Inde-
pendent venture was the necessary
forerunner of this new blow. Not
only did that swift victory free the
French armies around Verdun from
the menace of the salient In their
rear, but it liberated rail lines to sup-
ply the new battle front and set free
thousands of soldiers of both armlet
for attack purposes by shortening the
lines.
Again, It is American aid that
makes possible tho attack. The an-
nouncement of this drive Is the first
Indication that American troops were
on the front immediately west of tho
Meuse with the possible exception of
a unit of negro troops known to have
been recently somewhere in the cen-
ter of the front between Rhelms and
Verdun. Whether that unit Is en-
gaged in the present fighting is not
known, but It is evident that a very
large force of Americans has been
shifted westward along the line to
take part in tho present blow. Ap-
parently they hold more than one-
half of the advancing line.
The extremo left of the American
forces forming the western jaw of
Pershing's nut cracker which reduced
the St, Mihlel salient rested in tho
hills east of the Meuse. It is indi-
cated now that tho whole line from
tho Moselle, where they stand before
the outer defenses of Metz to a point
well to the west of Verdun nuy bo
held by tho Americans, In which caso
the French have paid Pershing's men
tho high compliment of intrusting to
them completely the defense of that
vital fortress.
