Sends $4,000 More.

Washington, d. C.-The American
National Red Cross through the state
department has cabled to the Japan
ese Red Cross $4,000, making a total of
$3.50 contributed by the American
people and transmitted to Japan
through that organization for the
relief of the sufferers in the famine
stricken provinces.
The latest official reports from Jap
an show, it is said, that thousands of
men, women and children are in dan
ger of starvation. The report shows
that the famine is the result of an al
most total failure of the rice crops,
due to an unusually cold and rainy
summer and the absence from the rice
fields of the able-bodied tillers Of the
soil who were serving their country
on the battleflelds Of Manchuria.

mated at $l25,00O, covered by insur'
ance.
A high northwest wind prevailed,
and sparks were blown over on tine
roofs of tenement houses. causing
more than dozen small fires and
threatening to make many families
homeless. Hard work on the part of
the flremen, however. confined the
fire damage TO the burned store
house.
The blaze was discovered about
in the afternoon by employees of the
Granite mill on Robson street, in
the Flint village section of the city.
The fire department of the mill was
dispatched to the storehouse, but the
volunteer fire fighters were unable TO
successfully cope with the flames.
An attempt was then made to send

system at the factory. but owing to
some defect In the mechanism the
alarm could not be sounded
A telephone call to the IRE head
quarters resulted in a few pieces OF
apparatus being sent TO the scene.
The fremen knew that the fire was a
dangerous one, and soon more than
half the apparatus in the city had been
summoned.
The storehouse was a three.story
granite structure and contained 1900
bales of Egyptian cotton, most of
which will be a total loss. This cot,
ton is valued at about SIS bale.
When the roof of the storehouse
fell in, great volume of sparks rose
high in the air and then was driven
before the northwest wind, causing
more than a dozen small fires on the
roofs of tenement houses.
