Th quietness which attended his return here in death to await funeral fervices Thursday was made the more pronounced by a thick fall of anow that hushed the steps of the escort as the flower-banked coffin wai carried to the waiting hearse.

March winds reared into a great storm over Florida last night and today and drove several New England visitors from their habitants. No serious effects, however, were sut-fered by any of them. Property damage was caused in some localities and the storm brought a cold wave, with promise of frost as far south as the Everglades. i Communication lines, crippled for a time by the rain and winds, virtually had been restored tonight. Some residents of keys along the west coast fled their homes because of high tides, but returned after their fears were allayed.

Several persons, including Bostoni-ans, were taken off Lido Island, near Sarasota, by a boat after a bridge washed out and the tide crept within a foot of homes. Others stayed in their houses and the water soon receded. The tide flooded the river and bay front at Tampa, but no appreciable damage was reported. Plant Park downtown was partially under water for a time. Residents of an island between the Gulf of Mexico and Clearwater were forced to evacuate their homes and small boats were destroyed or sunk.

Refugees on Lido Island were rescued by E. E. Gridley, Orange, Mass, aided by his chauffeur. The two men operated a 26-foot launch from the Gridley Dock at St Armand's Key to Lido Island, making two trips along the tree-lined concrete highway which was flooded four or five feet deep.

WAY OF PEACEMAKER HARD, DRLORD SAYS Historian Talks to Mt St Joseph's Alumnae "The days of warfare may be hard, but the ways of the peacemaker are equally hard," Rev Dr Robert H. Lord, former teacher of history at Har vard University, now professor of history at St John's Seminary and a member of the faculty of Regi3 College, told an audience which filled the Louis XIV ballroom at the Hotel Somerset, yesterday afternoon. The gathering was the Lenten lecture, musical and afternoon tea of the Mt St Joseph Alumnae Association. -Mrs Anna Gately, chairman-of the meeting, introduced Dr Lord, who took for his subject, "The Paris Peace Conference; Thirteen Years' Afterwards." In a review of the Paris conference as he saw it, Dr Lord said in part: "The fate of the peacemaker is as one doomed to be stoned in the market place. The participants leave the peace conference with an evil reputation.

They are seldom able to satisfy the critics, who regard peace conferences as painless and instantaneous cures for all ills. The soldiers may have won the victory, but they won a peace which is full of the seeds of future wars. Some say that the Pari peace conference was a conference to end peace. Utners regaraea gigantic auction for the spoils of war." After telling the story of the conference and the part Wilson, Lloyd George and Clemenceau played in it for their respective Nations, Dr Lord stated that, although both friends snd enemies were disappointed, still the present generation of war-exhausted Nations has not yet. learned how to prevent war.

"Unless something is done we will return to the old vicious days before 1914, with military alliances and counter-alliances ami wa shall have another world war." Should this happen, Dr Lord added, with the progress science has made in machinery of war, the next war will be 19 times more tragic than the last, and, instead of 9,000,000 men being sacrificed, he believed the toll will be nearer 90,000,000. He declared that the League will be changed, and will constantly Improve, as It Is the best peace pact in the past 100 years. Today, he continued, the Nations are living in distrust of each other and In constant fear of what the next war will bj. He predicted that, if the world will avoid world suicide by using reason and justice in settling affairs through the Peace Pact, future generations will look back with veneration on the part President Wilson played In making it possible. A musical program was given by Francis Riley, operatic tenor, who sang a group of opera arias followed by a group of old Irish melodies.

The Arthur Scena trio, with Arthur Scena, violin: Joseph M. Lane, cello, and William J. Duffy, piano, played sev. eral Kreisler numbers, Schubert's "Ave Maria," Beethoven's Minuet in and Brahms' Waltz in A Major.

At that hour the wind reached a velocity of 54 miles an hour at Cape Henry and 60 miles an hour at Cape Hatteras.

It was an east wind, but at 6 o'clock tonight it had shifted to the west and showed little inclination of decreas ing in velocity. The American tanker Dixie Arrow, owned by the Standard Vacuum Com pany of New York, bound for Beau mont, Tex, from New York, sent out an call this afternoon about 3:30 o'clock requesting assistance from the Coast Guard. The vessel was then, according to her message, about "60 miles off Chesapeake Bay," which meant in reality about 60 miles off Cape Henry. She reported her steer ing engine and gear had broken and she was not In control. The Coast Guard cutter Mendota was dispatched to her assistance, but was not expected to reach her until about 5 clock tomorrow morning.

The lightship at Cape Lookcut whose number Is 1307, reported by wireless that she had been blown seven miles off her station, but at last reports was "holding her own" and would probably be able to get back to her post when the storm abated The Norwegian steamer Songa, out of Baltimore for Norfolk, became un manageable off Hunters I Creek in Chesapeake Bay, and a Coast Guard patrol boat was sent to her assistance DOZEN FAMILIES ORDERED FROM REVERE COTTAGES REVERE, March 6 Nearly a dozen families were ordered to leave their flooded cottages at Beachmont late to night when the sea on the breast of a high tide and lashed by a 50-mile gale surged over the breakwater along the shoreline at Beachmont Rnd Winthrop.

Casassa and the police and fire chiefs.

The O'Briens refused to leave, even though all Roughans Point was under water. All automobile traffic was halted along Winthrop Shore drive, as the waves broke, over the boulevard and ran oft down the side streets.
