filled with mud, the boiler fires were
extinguished . and the automatic
stokers put out of commission.
Work of repairing the damie was
started immediately and the em
ployes had hopes of getting the
plant in operation early today. The
fire department was called to pump
the water from the basement.
When the fire department respond
ed to a call at a flat at 2821 Dewey
avenue, the men found seven feet of
water in the basement. The flood
was knee-deep in the yard.
Basements and cellars of practical
ly every house on Twenty-eighth
street, between St Marys avenue and
Harney were flooded.
Several Persons Rescued.
At Twenty-fourth and Patrick ave
nue overflow from a sewer backed
up into the yard of a boarding house,
filling the basement. Members of
the Twenty-fourth and Cuming

scene and caried out several persons
from houses and buildings where
the flood was rising. A pool hall at
Twenty-fourth and Patrick was par
tially inundated. .
A candy kitchen at Sixteenth and
Cass streets was flooded by several
feet of water.
Short circuit in the electric wiring
in a rooming house at 2218 Douglas
street, caused a small fire during the
rain. The blaze was extinguished
before much damage had been done.
Rain which leaked through the roof
is thought to have caused the short
circuit.
Many downtown buildings were cut
oir from -light and power at iu:io
when an electric transformer at the
rear of the Hotel Fontenelle became
short-circuited. Wires leading to
the transformer burned off and fell
to the ground where they became
crossed, causing a spectacular dis
play. , The fire department made a
run to the scene and with workmen
from the power company, repaired
the damage. Electric light service

again,' threatening the dike near
Florence lake.
Six hundred to 700 of the Ne
braska Telephone Company's lines in
the city were put out of order, ac
cording to reports from headquar
ters. Linemen began repair wok im
mediately afte the storm, but it will

Flood Sufferers
To Demand Paving
Delegation From Twenty

, Wait on Council Today.
A large and indignant delegation
of residents of the neighborhood of
Twenty-third and Pacific streets will
wait on the city council today to
know the reason why the streets in
that part of the city have not been
paved, said Samuel Mancuso yester
day. The flood of Sunday night flooded
a dozen residences there, he said.
Mrs. Anna Capace was rescued by
neighbors fgrom her home, 2217 Pa
cific street, when the first floor of
the house was already four feet un
der water.
She, her husband and two children
were asleep when the cloudburst
came, her husband awoke and found
the flooding waters swirling through
the rooms. He yelled for help from
a window and Mrs. Capace, the two
children and Mr. Capace were res
cued and taken to a home on higher
ground.
"For years we havve been trying to
get these streets paved," said Mr.
Mancuso. ' "Now we will see that
they are paved or know the reason
why."
He declared that the sewers in the
neighborhood were stopped and that
for this reason the flood entered the
numerous homes and did thousands
of dollars of damage.

Marshal Foch
Pays Tribute to
American Army
Commander of Allied Forces
In World War Sends Inde
pendence Day Message
To United States.
By Th Associated Press.
Paris,' July 4.--Marshal Ferdinand
Foch of France, commander-in-chief
of the allied army, sent today
through The Associated Press, a
message to the American nation on
the occasion of the anniversary of
the Declaration of Independnce.
The message embodies a tribute
to the American army, paid by the
man who led to victory the allied
forces with which that army fought,
and to the peeople of the United
States.
The message reads:
"In celebrating America's Inde
pendence day, in union with the
United States, France does not only
commemorate the heroic days when
Lafayette with the best of her sons,
brought help to the noble cause of
the liberty and independnce of the
United States, but commemorates
also the days more recent and not
less heroic, when the American na
tion stood up fully bent upon the de
fense of another great and noble
cause: The liberty of the world.
"Today, before the world, on this)
great anniversary, is tor him who
had the terrible responsibility of
leading to battle the 6,000,000 sold
iers to him committed by the allied
and associated governments one
more opportunity which he eagerly
embraces to pay homage to the
American army, to its chiefs, to Its
soldiers.
Tribute to U. S.
"What was the American share
in the strife for victory? Two sets of
figures will give its measure.' In
April, 1917, when the United States
declared war upon Germany, the
American army had 9,500 officers
and 350,000 men. Eighteen months
later at the time of the armistice sfce
had more than 180,000 officers and
3,500,000 men.
"A prodigious effort of an entire
nation before which the enemy re
mained astounded and which foiled
all his plans.
"The 21st of March, 1918, when the
Germans are hurling themselves on
the British front, the American army
had in France, only 300,000 men,
their arrivals monthly being about
30,000 men.
"In the presence of the important
attacks of the enemy, it is virtually
necessary to quicken and intensify
these arrivals.
"On the 25th of April. General
Foch asks Generals Bliss and
Pershing, who were present at his
headquarters at Sarcus (northwest
of Beauvais) in 'order to guard
against the crisis of the effective
forces which began to be grievously
felt by the Franco-British armies,
that infantry and machine gun units
may be transported to France, to the
exclusion of any others during the
next three months.
Britain Furnishes Ships. ,
"The 7th of May the matter is put
before the - superior war council at
Abbeville, and the lack of American
tonnage being the only obstacle, it
is decided that the British govern
ment shall furnish the necessary
ships to transport from the United
States 130,000 jnen in May and 150,
000 men in June, these being infan
try and machine guns only. ihe
American tonnage is being reserved
for the transport of the other troops.
From that time on, landing is con
stantly increasing. From 50,000 men
in March and 92,000 in April, the
landings increase to exceeding 1,000,
000 men from June to November.
"It is in the same fashion that the
large 'units are organized and .their
staffs are formed. At the end of
March, 1918, six divisions only are in
France. In October there are 41
and 31 of them are in the battle
front. '
. "This is already much; it is not
enough. In order to make the en
tente sure of. having, in 1919, a real
numerical superiority, it is necessary
to have the number of American
division brought to 100, and your
president declares that 100 American
divisions shall be in Europe by the
first of June, 1919, with others ready
to follow.
Training Camps Organized.
"To instruct the staffs and the
soldiers, schools and training camps
are organized, in America and in
France.
"To arm and equip them, the fac
tories are working to their full
capacity. From 700 daily the pro
duction of cartridges reaches 16.000,
000 daily. The fabrication of cloth
ing, equipment, means of transpor
tation, enlarges itself in wonderful
proportions.
"In France American workman
ship improves the landing harbors
and increases the railway traffic by
doubling and quadrupling the lines
and terminal facilities.
"On the ocean the American fleet
protects the transports. The ship
building yards are organized in the
United States for intensive produc
tion and 341 ship-building yards,
with 1,284 slips are soon in full
activity.
"On the 28tn of March, 1918, Gen
eral Pershing offers to the commander-in-chief
of the allied forces the
direct co-ooeration of the American
divisions already trained.
First Americana on Front
"The 24th of Aoril. the first Amer
ican divisions came into line before
Montdidier and one month later, dis
tinguishes . itself by capturing in . a
brilliant assault, the village ot uan-
tigny 28th of May.)
"At the end t: May, two divisions
are in the battle of Picardy, and three
others in the Vosges.
"In June two new divisions take
part in the battle of the Marne at
Chateau-Thierry ' and at Belleau
Woods.
"Notwithstanding the stubborn re
sistance of the enemy, despite the
numerous obstacles opposed to its
progress by the . difficulties of , the
Argonne region,' it victoriously
drives the enemy back.
"Other American divisions parti
cipate at the same time at. several
points in . the operations of the
Franco-Rritish armies.
"On the first of June, 1919. there
would have been 100 American divi
sions in the battle line. .
"In the long war that the free na:
tions had to fight against the op
pressors of right, the direct partici
pation of America lasted ony a short
period, but to the American nation
is due the glory of having thrown her
self wholly into the struggle at the
decisive moment and, in order to in
sure victory, to have made every
branch of the national activity an un
paralleled effort
"America rushed with all her
youthful ardor into the vast turmoil
of the battle, and thus contributed
mightily to the victory of right and
liberty
"She has generously given her
blood to the common cause; 75,000
of her children, dead on the soil of
France, testifies to this in an undy
ing way;
'"Glory to these dead Glory to
the American armyl Glory to the
American people I

Arab King 'Broke'
As Pilgrims to
Mecca Fall Off
Troubles in China and Russia
Prevent Thousands of Mo
hammedans From Visit
ing Shrine.
Tokyo, July 4. To plead the
cause of a deserted Mecca, Sheik
Siddik Elkadiri, envoy from Hussain
I, king of the Arabians, is in Japan.
Sheik Elkadiri is . a Mohammedan,
and it is the cause of religion, not
politics he mentioned this fact first
as if to relieve himself of any stigma
that brings him to the cities of
China and Japan.
It is regarding the age-old custom
of Mohammedans from all parts of
the world to visit the' sacred city of
Mohammed once every year that
brought the sheik to Tokyo. Mo
hammedans, of whom there are 60,
000,000 in China and 30,000,000 in.
Russia, be they the poorest , or the
richest, feel that they have not ful
filled their obligations to the "Great
Prophet" unless they journey at least
once during their lifetime to Mecca.
The wealthy Mohammedan, it is
known, often makes the trip once
every year, the time for the pilgrim
age being arranged so that the city
of Mecca is reached in August.
Wars in China and revolutions in
Russia have made it impossible for
the Mohammedan to make his pil
grimage to the city, the symbolical
sign of which is the crescent.
"It was no uncommon thing," sard
Sheik Elkadiri in Tokyo recently,
"before the great war, for 300,000
Mohammedans to fill the city of
Mecca each August. In 1913 there
were 250,000 and in 1914 there, were
300,000. During the years of the
war there were never mbre than 15,
000, and last year during the month
of August, 17,000 came. -.
Arabia Needs the Money.
What particularly concerns the
king of the. Arabians, or rather the
king of the Hejas, the only independ-:
ent section of Arabia, is the matter
of relieving Mohammendans who are
unable to obtain passports annually
from Japan and Russia The annual
visits of the pilgrims to Mecca are
the chief source of income to the
town. : Each oilerim must brine a
pound to the king, representing $5,
and it can be seen that in the days
when 300,000 of these pilgrims visited
the City of Mecca, it was more prof
itable to the king and to the country
than today, when 15,000 areTable to
get there.
Wars in China arid revolutions in
Russia, added to the natural fear of
governments that dangerous -characters
might be applying for passports,
have made . it almost impossible for
Mohammedans from China and from
Russia to get started home for the
annual visit to the city of Moham
med. It is necessary for them to start
in May if they are to reach Mct.ca
in August, and so, while we hope to
have arrangements made for pass
ports this year, we doubt very much
if we will be able to get the arrange
ments made by this year."
Asked regarding Mohammedans in
Japan, Sheik Elkadira said that there
were none, but that his object in com
ing here was to arrange for his
countrymen to leave by Japanese
ports.
To Learn Decision.
"Consulates must be established
in Harbin, in Shanghai and in To
kyo," said the sheik. "I have made
application in China and I will see
Count Uchida while I am in Tokyo.
Returning to Shanghai I will.. get
word of the final decision, which I
have reason to believe will be favor-;
ableand will then send word to King
Hussain. If I am successful in China
and Japan, I hope by 1922 to have
the first consulates ever opened in
this part of the world by Arabia es
tablished. I may be stationed1 in
Shanghai or in Tokyo. The consul
ates will be small establishments,
with one or two men in each one,"
