THE BURNING OF ozAKA

The burning OF Ozaka, one of the
three imperial cities of Japan, by a
disastrous fire that ragged for twenty
five hours, is a misfortune in which
the people Of this country can SYM
'pathize with out trans-Paclfic friends.
ozaka had population of over
100000, and was busy center of in.
dustry. Its buildings, however, were
chiefly of wood. following the Japan.
ese custom Of lightly constructed edi-
fices. and furnished such fuel for the
flames as to make the work OF check
ing the conflragration practically i'm
possible. 1t burned itself out, leaving
thousands of people homeless, and
the greater part Of flourishing city
heap of smouldering ruins.
Possibly one OF the remarkable
things about Japanese cities is that
more of them do not burn down.
Hitherto the chief menace to their
safety has been from Earthquakes.

GRADUALLY SLIPS ~
INTO THE RIVER

Bombay August, 19-The fate OF
the prosperous Punjabi city of Dera
Ghizi Khan, which for months past
has been gradually slipping into the
River Indus, is now regarded as def
nitely sealed. Nothing can be done to
prevent the encroachment of the
water. The process of erosion is GO
ing on very rapidly.
From fifty to 100 feet of the river
front is being swept away every day,
and one by one mosques, mansions
and novels are disappearing in the
swift stream. Every effort of COM
petent engineers to devise a way to
protect the city has been futile. Dera
Ghazi Khan has population of 25,-
900.

Tom Watson, the noted Georgian,
recently expressed the following opin-
ion:
81 am quite sincere in saying II
would have been better for the South
had the Confederacy succeeded. We
would have had no constant irritant
such as we now have in the social
equality or blacks, in office holding
coons and the niggerite white peo-
pie OF the North who are eternally
putting the devil into the heads of
the Afro-Americans. The western
States would be better in separate
state OF their own. II will come some
day. The Southern States would be
far better off in state OF their own.
1t will come some day. With just such
laws as Aldrich and Lodge and Gall
niger and Hale-all of New England
are forcing through Congress the
Union will be split into four grand
divisions and this hemisphere will
BE- all the happier for IT,"
Tom evidently has not been recon
structed. His disposition to destroy
the federal union has become chronic.
