An appeal to the people of Texas for food, clothing or money to assist sufferers from the storm and floods of last week in and outside of Galveston was issued today by Governor Ferguson. He requests that all contributions be sent to the executive offices at Austin for distribution. The rppeal follows: To the People of Texas: "A disastrous storm, of which the public Is fully advised, has struck the Texas coast, causing untold suffering and damage and many people are now homeless and have lost their all. In. one county alone I have been advised that there are over 500 people without food or clothing, and all along the Texas coast there are thousands of hood of cattle lying dead, whu-h I urn apprehensive may cause an outbreak of disease.

"There a considerable property loss In the city of Houston, but the situation is well In hand (here and 1 am officially Informed that no outside assistance Is necessary. The city of Galveston experienced some bad results from the storm, hut the loss of life was miraculously small and by the protection of Its seawall the pioperty damage was comparatively little. 1 have been officially informed that the city of Galveston will take care of their own situation. This leaves the hundreds of people living along the coast of Texas unprovided for. "1 therefore appeal to the citizens of Texas for any assistance or donations which might cre to offer through me for distribution among those people.

I ran give the qufskest relief with money, but If you haven't money you can send food or clothing, and I shall undertake to see that It If properly distributed. "I trust that the cltlsenshlp of Texas will respond liberally to this appeal, which, after Investigation, I think Is properly made, so that the unfortunate and the destitute may not unduly suffer. "Remittances and donations can be made to me direct at Austin, Texas. "James E. Ferguson, Governor of Texaj." An Extra Tread Makes the Goodyear -All-Weather a Double-Thick Anti-Skid Phones Preston 1389-1087.

KNOWN DEAD ARE 1 96; State Bank and $50,000,000 OF DAMAGE Get These Extras There are other extras in Goodyear tire. Five.of them are exclusive Goodyear features. Others lie in extra size, extra rubber or extra strength over the usual tire. These extras, on this year's output, cost us $1,635,000. That's outside the All-Weather tread.

This year's additions, in extra size and rubber alone, will cost us $500,000. Vi 1 1 4 5i Cost $1,000,000 This is for men who think "Tires are tires" and who fail to get the best for that reason. Most anti-skids, if you cut them, would show only a regular tread made rough. The Goodyear AH-Weather shows an extra tread, about as thick as the regular, vulcanized on top. That one difference, on our output of All- Weathers, costs us $1,000,000 this year.

It's Worth Getting Thus the Goodyear AH-Weather is a double-thick tread. And the extra thickness is rubber toughened by a secret process.

I Kfforts arc being made by the harbor fire boats to pump out Into the bay the accumulation In the sanitary sewers, which are getting In bad condition owing to the lack of flushing. The sweep of the water from the gulf and bay Into the city during the hurricane left a great amount of rubbish, sewage and debris In the streets and alleys all over the city. Although large sauads of men have been cleaning away the rubbish and wreckage, many streets and alleys remain to be cleared, and odors In those sections are becoming more and more noticeable-Attention will be given at once to the worst alleys. The hot sun today aided in drying the streets. The gas company published an announcement In this morning's local news-Dauer that the gas had been turned Into all pipes In the city and consumers were CANADIAN FIFTH ROYALS'DECIMATED Only Thirty -Seven Remain tflf Eleven Hundred Who Started.

They Describe Their Captivity as Irksome Because of Inactivity, But Say They Are Well Treated by Germans. (Correspondence of the Associated Press From Goettingen, Germany.) Late In February the Fifth Royals, one of the crack Canadian regiments, 1100 strong, left Montreal en route for England and the great European war. Les-i than four months later, after weeks In the trenches at Ypres. only 37 of those 1100 men were known to remain alive and they re prisoners In the great military camp r.ere. Overpowered by the gases wafted toward their positions, deserted by colored troops euposed to come to their support, ai' decimated by the deadly German fire, the little band of four noncommissioned- officers and 33 privates was easy prey.

Before they regained consciousness they were In captivity. The 37 at Goettingen hope that some of their brave regiment may have escaped end may still be fighting, but they do not believe It. They were on the outskirts of the gas columns that swept over the trenches, and the escaped with their lives liecause the did not have to breathe the noxious fumes In their lull strength. Many of them have as yet not been able to establish communication with their families in far-off Canada, and are not sure whether mothers, wives and sisters know that they have escaped death. The men portray the fight at Ypres -Us one of Indescribable horror: they chafe at confinement and the lack of assurance that England Is winning: thev exuresi in varying degrees surprise that the Germans are not tne oartarians mey uaa ue-Ueved them to be.

MONTREAL BOY TELLS OF CAMP LIFE. Harry Anning. a Montreal boy, verves as well as any other member of the little group to describe their feelings as they now loaf In captivity. "There isn't any question," he said, "but that we all have had to revise our opinion about the Germans, though not all of us were prepared to believe all we had heard and read about them. The worst thing about being in a prison camp Is the inactivity, and for that the Germans naturally are not responsible.

"The food la fair, though as a matter of course, monotonous. I for one haven't any complaint though I manage to get a good many extra things from England to piece out with. I Imagine that the man who hasn't any friends and who doesn't get any extras does a certalo amount of suffering. "But mail, money and packages coin regularly and reasonably quickly. We all have to admire the thoroughness of the German system In vogue here.

Those of us who are able to take matters philosophically appreciate that, though being prisoners of war is far from being a joke we are well treated on the whole. Those who are the least unhappy are the ones who are able to sit back, confident that England Is going to win and that this can't last forever." ANOTHER SPEAKS OF RELATIONS AMONO ALLIES. Another member of the Fifth Royals gave a brief glimpse Into the relations! among the allies. He said: 1 "Let me tell you that the French as fighters have proved a big disappointment to us. Whenever the two have been together French and English and Canadians it has been the latter two who have had to bear the brunt of the work.

"The Belgians, on the other hand, have proved the finest little fighters in the world. If the French were anywhere near as good with their numbers the war would soon be over," "What do you people think Of the colored troops?" the Canadian was ashed a. two oddly clad soldiers, black as ebony, and speaking a horrible jargon of French, sauntered by the barracks. "They're cowards." "At Ypres they sent up a lot of those so-called soldiers, to relieve us and they promptly turned aad ran. We had to shoot promptly turned and ran.

A concrete example of the benefits and advantages offered by the Houston ship channel to the business interests was pointed out yesterday by B.

D. Cash, vica president of the Magnolia Cotton Oil company of this city, manufacturers of Cruato. Mr. Caush stated that he was shipping 38.J78 pounds to New York via the steamship Satilla of the New York-Houston line on her first sailing from Houston.

Ts reach shipside at Galveston would have cost on this particular shipment I20.U1, 1.1 for freight bttween Houston and Galveston at i cents per 100 pounds, and for wsariage at uaivesion ai i j- cents per 1W pounds.

"It goes without saying," said Mr. Cash, "that Just so far as our operations Krmit, we Intend to favor the New York-ouston line all possible, and. in fact, any line which comes to Houston." CONGRATULATIONS FROM JERSEY CITV.

The boat, which will be the first ta reach Houston on the newly established line, arrived in the roads at Galveston Wednesday night, having escaped the storm.

McCurdy and J. W. Ryan, chief of police, Dallas, and J. A. Martina, a business man of Dallas.
