Previously Sun's armies were #tanding by ready to fend off any en croachments toward five rich eastern provinces which he controls, including Kiangsu, in which the wealthy port of Shanghal is located.

John Dille Co.) - CITY TOURIST CAMP NEEDS TO BE STUDIED Steps to Be Taken to End Conges- tion Will Be Considered by Park Body. A study of tourist camp needs in the District is to be made by officials of the office of public buildings and public parks of the National Capital as a result of reports to the office that the camp in East Potomac Park was becoming congested. The special committee to study the situation will look into tourist traffic on the highways entering the city from the North and East. This com- mittee is composed of Maj. J. W. Meehan, sanitary officer; Charles W. Ellot, 3d, and Capt. M. H. Parsons, chief of the park protection division. The opinion was expressed ficial that the con | the East Potomac Park camp is due largely this year to the fact of the late Summer. It was reported that between 700 and 800 automobile | parties occupied the camp on certain jdays. Sites tentatively selected by the committee will go to the park and planning commission for approval, as this agency will be the one to pur- chase the necessary land.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, ‘September 4.—Crippled communication, the. threat of swollen streams and a mounting loss estimate today marked the Midwestern course of a Summer’s end storm of wind and torrential rain. Cities and towns labored with curtailed utilities service, meager outside contacts and disrupted transportation, while farm lands in some areas were under water. There was little promise of relief before Sunday. he weather predic- tion for most of the flood-stricken areas was for cloudy to unsettled, and thunderstorms and showers. These conditions prevailed in Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, western Indiana and out through Kansas and Nebraska. Three Killed in Hlinois. The toll of the storms, which last night surpassed their previous fury of the week in some sections, could not be accurately determined with lines of communication down, but it appeared there was small loss of life. Three persons are known to have met death in Illinois. & Willlam Gutzweiler, 50, of Spring- fleld was electrocuted when he touched a live wire blown down dur- ing a squall, and Henry Keil, 18, was killed by lightning while working in a fleld near Beardstown. At Maquon James Sprinklers, a_highway worker, was drowned when he plunged into a raging stream to inspect a bridge. Property damage will be heav | Rallroad trackage and many bridees have been washed out. Farm build- ings in some sections have been de- stroyed. While in the ceontral areas the damaging element was the rain which added to the effects of deluges of a few days before, along the Nebrask: Kansas line wind of tornado propo tlons flattened farm buildings. No deaths were reported in early com- munications from the region, al ll;{mlgh’xume areas were entirely cut off.
