Dayonets of national guardsmen gleamed among the ruins here vis. ible evidence of the martial law Imposed In the wake of the storm to check vandalism ami the threatened spread of smallpox. As though artillery duels of Flanders had swept the lake front, trees lay uprooted, houses were In tangled heaps, road were impossible and church steeples had toppled, while through the area of destruction waneyed relatives escorted by armed soldiers, still sought piteously for missing relatives and friends.
