KINDS TWO SONS LOST
IN GALVESTON FLOOD
Texas Farmer Rejoices at Their Re*
turn 16 Years After Storm.
BARTLETT. Texas. March S.—W.
M. Cehand, a farmer near Bartlett,
was reunited a few days ago with his
two sons, James and Rudolph, whom
he had mourned as dead for sixteen
years.
The Sehand family was living in
Galveston at the time of the great
storm which swept over that city in
September. 1900. When the flood that
swept in from the Gulf struck their
house it collapsed. Cehand managed
to catch hold of a piece of wreckage
and clung to it for several hours. Ho
was finally flung up on the mainland
several miles from the site of his
wrecked home.
When his house went down Cehand
caught a glimpse of his wife and two
sons as the mountain of water swal
lowed them up. The two boys, then
aged 3 and 5 years, respectively, were
holding each other in an embrace and
Mrs. Cehand was endeavoring to reach
them. That was the last he saw •!
any member of his family until a few
days ago his two sons, now grown to
young manhood, alighted from a train
at Bartlett.
It appears now that the two boys
were swept to a point on the main
land remote from the spot where then
father landed and were found by a
party of rescuers and placed in the
hands of Sisters of Charity who found
them a home in a convent in a dis
tant city. After remaining a few years
in the convent they were adopted by a
family living in California.
WAR AFTER WAR IS NOT
PROBABLE THINKS GERMAN
BERLIN, March 8.—Albert Ballia,
director general of the Hamburg
American line, is quoted by the Over
seas News Agency as declaring that
continuation of hostilities among the
belligerent countries after the war is
not probable as “it would be non
sense if the states would ruin each
other economically after the mililar»
I
j struggle."
"Germany and her allies,” said
; Herr Ballin. "will, after the war, dis
pose of sufficient tonnage in order to
recommence immediately importa
tion with reference to German ex
change. * * * although certain
commodities will not longer consti
tute a German monopoly, we will
have new articles for export.
“it can hardly he supposed that a*
tual hatred will after the war impede
the recommencement of foreign trade,
since all nations are inter-dependenr
upon each other. I am absolutely su;e
there will be no commercial war. All
the belligerents will be able rapidly
to replace their lost tonnage. Er.,;
land will be able to reconstruct n
within two years and this period also
will sufficient for us.”

I ABANDONED SHIP
IS SAVED LATKlt
—
LONDON, March 8.—The first ca3e
of a submarined and “sunk” ship
\ reaching port is chronicled from New
Haven where the Dutch steamer Van
wek has put in with a large hole in
her hull but otherwise in good con
dition. The captain of the Vanwe*.
reports that on her way to London
several days ago she encountered a
German submarine whose captain
ordered the crew to take to the boats.
The ship was then torpedoed and the
submarine, seeing the smoke of
another steamer in the distance, sub
merged. After tossing about all night
the Vanwek crew sighted their own
vessel and succeeded in boarding her
once again and bringing her, after
she had drifted considerably from
her course, into New Haven.
