People Flee From 1171 J 11 NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 28. Heeding the weather bureau's warning of the probable approach of the hurricane, hundreds of New Orleans resi dents deserted their homes In the outskirts and spent last night in hotels, public and office buildings down town. More than 300 sought refuge in the postofflce buildings, the customs house and the new courthouse. A dispatch from Gulfport, Miss., stated the barometer there at 7 a. m. registered 29.65. An east wind was blowing about forty miles an hour and there were squalls of rain. The tide there was reported two an a half feet above normal. Telephone communication with Pilot Town became interrupted for several hours, and reports from there were received by wireless. Schools Are Closed As a precautionary measure Dr. I. M. Cline, district forecaster here, advised the authorities at Thlbodeaux, Hammond and other small towns near here to keep their schools closed today. The New Orleans school board issued orders to the same effect. After receiving today's warning from the weather bureau announcing a shifting in the course of the hurricane, weather officials stated that every Indication was that the center of the storm would continue to sweep inland east of the Mississippi from near the mouth of the river and that New Orleans might escape its full force. Refugees were arriving from points on the lower river, one train load from Polnte a la Hache and another from Shell Beach. Reports by wireless from Pilot Town said the storm was increasing in Intensity, the wind reaching 76 miles an hour. MOBILE PREPARES MOBILE, Ala., Sept. 2S.

' REDS JEERED IN RUSS CONGRESS PETROGRAD, Thursday, Sept. 27. Premier Kerensky addressed the democratic congress at its first session today in the municipal theatre, receiving applause which came principally from the less radical groups of delegates. He spoke in forceful style, with the air of challenging his opponents. The address waa largely a defense of tl. ; acts of the government during his premiership. M. Kerensky was interrupted frequently by 6houts from one group and another, which led at times to altercations lasting several minutes. At one point, when the premier spoke of the refusal of the soldiers' and work men's delegates of Helslngfors to op pose the reopening of the Finnish diet. although the government had forbidden it, the Bolshevikl burst into loud cheers. . "Cheer, my friends, if you will," said M. Kerensky, when he was able to make himself heard, "but bear in mind that a German fleet is moving up the Baltic." The delegates of the Right Jeered the Bolshevikl, asking them why they did not cheer the premier's remark, inasmuch as the Germans ' were their friends. The government of New South Wales has appointed a committee to assist in the development of inventions likely to be of general public utility.

There was a fire on the main street of Athens the other day which permitted one to see the Athenian fire department in full action. First came a huge tank of water drawn by horses. There is no water from fire hydrants, for water is very scarce and people are not permitted to take baths. So the fire de partment brings the tank of water to each fire, and the fire is held down as long as the tank holds out. Back of the tank comes one of the venerable hand-pumping devices which Benjamin Franklin introduced when he started the volunteer fire organizaions in America. Still the Athenian fire department has a good record, mainly because Athens Is built of stone and cannot burn. The day after the fire the huge tank was seen on the same street laying the dust, and it was explained that the fire department was also the street-sprinkling department.

Tommy Atkins in "Last
Leaves a Gallon Another LONDON, Sept 15. The "last will and testament," which the British private frequently writes Into the little army "pay book" which he carries with him wherever he goes, is an Interesting study. Wills made In the trenches are legal without witnesses, and the soldiers' own signature Is all that Is required to make such a will acceptable to the courts. Even if the signature Is lacking, the will may still be accepted If there la evidence as to the handwriting or intention of the testator. In every case the war office authorities make every effort to carry oat the soldiers wishes, however crudely they are expressed or however fantastic they may me. - 8ome in Rhyme. Many of these trench wills have Tommy Atkins characteristic use of humor. Some are in dialect, some in phonetic spelling. Several have been in cipher which have taxed the war office experts to solve. Occasionally they leave purely' imaginary possessions to institutions or fictitious persons. Here is a will in rhyme which was written while the soldier was on duty at a "listening post" in No Man's Land: "I haven't a sweetheart, I ha vent a mother, I've only one sister, not even a brother. My sister Susan is all I've got. So of ought that's mine she can have the lot." This will went through the courts without question, despite its unusual 1 k . .TI the money to the first comer" is the form.
