EARTHQUAKE TRAVELS
THE OLD ROUTE OF RUIN

Studied with maps and accounts of
the more recent of the great earthquake
disasters of Italy, it is seen that in
the present catastrophe the disturbance
reached the surface on the northern
border, close to Swiss territory Domo.
dossolo is among the Alps, and the
mountain range seems to have been the
route of the earthquake. 1t passed to
the southwark, following the Apennines.
There is a twenty minutes difference be-
tween the time of the shocks reported
in upper and lower Italy.
In Calabria, which has been laid
waste again and again by such dis.
turbances, this earthquake first touched
the surface with its full effect. Lofty
signal posts of disaster marked its way,
for it struck with full force at the
extinct volcano of San Giovanni, spread
its devastation across the Strait or
Messina to Sicily and rolled up another
score of death and ruin all about the
slopes of Mount Etna, reducing to ruins
the ancient and famous city of Messina
and tumbling the buildings of Catania,
fifty.nine miles farther south, only to
again overwhelm the busy port soon
afterward with great tidal wave.
In the Sicilian Sea.
Stromboli, one of the active volcanoes
of the Lipari group, TO the north of
Sicily, has ever been large factor in
seismic disturbances in this region. but
the present earthquake appears to have
come from other sources, beginning far
to the north and extending far to the
south of the Calabrian and Northern
Sicilian region, which the fires of the
island peak in the Mediterranean have
| shaken to ruins so many times.
School children identify Italy by it's
resemblance in geographical contour to
a boot, and most grown folks keep that
as their best conception of the coun.
try IS outlines. Calabria is the ankle
and lower calf of the boot, on the
eastern shore of the Mediterranean.
The Strait of Messina, connecting the
Mediterranean with the Ionian Sea, is
where the top of low shoe would lace
over the ankle, assuming a leg in the
geographical boot. Messina is on the
back of the ankle, and Catania on the
back of the heel.
Just above the top of the low shoe is
Reggie at the foot of San Giovanni, and
nearby is Stefanoconi, the village where
the earthquakes destruction was most
complete. Stefanoconi was wiped out
by the last great quake in Calabria
September, 1905.
Similar destruction and distress are
reported as resulting from the earth
quake yesterday, but now extending far
into Sicily, while the catastrophe of

obedience than even a Japanese has
right to demand.
Then, when the man in question has
the temerity to publish threat to
kill her in case she returns to his
home, we feel that occasion may some
times arise for some one to harbor run
away wives. Where, let us ask, would
these poor unfortunate women, with
their ignorance of our laws of Justice
and protection, go if there were no
such place as Susannab Wesley Home7
We are in touch with, and frequent
ly consult, Japanese friends and mis-
sionaries regarding the wisest course to
pursue when occasion requires. Our
work here has the nature of go-be-
tween or peacemaker, rather than that
of stirring up strife or adding to it.
While the case which has been cited
may not often be exactly duplicated,
there are Others which might prove a
surprise to many. On the other hand,
there are cases where the woman is
found most at fault. Believing
"right to be might" we desire above
everything else to do right by all, ex-
tending help to everyone needing it,
regardless of sex, nationality or condi-
ton of life. 1t is therefore our pur-
pose to uphold the standard of justice
and morality. While we are willing to
admit that this is not always pleas
ant or easy task to perform, we, never
theless, feel it very important one.

management of the Susannah Wesley

set to rights, if need be.
During our stay, of going on to three
years, there have been obtained but
two divorces by women in the home.
In both instances we have had moth
ing whatever to do in the matter,
either as regards securing legal help
or using our personal aid in bringing
them about.
the women were sent to us by heads
of families, where they were valued
servants, and for their protection from
brutal husbands.
In every case where woman has
come to us for help, when upon care

proven to be decent man, we have
used our influence to bring about a
reconciliation.
On the contrary, when a woman
comes to us with her face bruised al
most beyond recognition, after serving
a man as his slave for years, working
until / and . clock in the morning,
and, after failure to borrow money for

Food instantly became scarce and
starvation threatened the survivors, but
the King and Queen of Italy then, as
now, hastened to the scene of disaster
and the government whole resources
were bent to the work of rescue and

found their evil opportunity in the gen.

One of the principal results of that

from earthquakes. Its buildings are
unusually large and fine. Mount Etna g

POLO OUTLOOK
IS VERY BRIGHT

Already the outlook for polo dur
ing the coming season is beginning TO
look very bright. Fifteen of the like.
lest little ponies that have ever been
brought to the Islands are now in the
corral with the horses of the Fifth
Cavalry, and as soon as the regiment
is located at Leilehua, the officers will
begin practise.
Local horse enthusiasts are already
beginning to discuss the prospects for
organizing team, and there is every
reason to believe that before very long
some steps will be taken in that di-
rection.
Though the field at Moanalua has
not been used for some time, it is in
excellent condition, and would require
but little work to get it into shape
for high-class play. There are ample
facilities at Leilehua for practise, and
tournaments could be played there
under the most satisfactory conditions.
The Leilehua ground far excels the
majority of those on the Pacific Coast,
being turf. AS general rule, polo in
California is played on dirt, with the
result that dust not only binders the
work of the PLAYERS, but makes it far
from pleasant for spectators TO watch
the games.
Practise among the Army officers
will probably begin just as soon as
the ponies have been conditioned. II
will therefore be necessary to take
lively action, if a civilian team, capa
BILE of meeting the military aggrega
tion on anything like even terms, is tc
be organized.

EDUCATION FOR WHITES
Win Solve Race Problem De
clares President-EIect Taft.
ON VISIT TO THE SOUTH
Judge Taft Learned That the Need Of
Education Was No. Confined to
the Negroes Only.

New York -President-elect
Taft was the principal speaker at the
meeting held in the interest Of Hamp-
ton Institute, under the auspices Of
the Armstrong Association, at Carne-
gle Hall. A drenching rain. failed to
keep away q large throng, eager to
hear Mr.. Taft.
Mr.. Taft began his remarks with
the statement that nine Of the ten
million negroes in the United states
live In the southern states.
Now. II you read The Congression-
al Record, he said, and the audience
smiled audiblyMr Taft also smiled
out loud as he recalled one senator
who wanted to make people read The
Record. 1t was, he said, source OF
instruction and amusement. This
statement he applied to his subject
by saying The Record had contained q
reference to moving the ten millions
Of negroes out of the country. back-
ed by the solemn, scientific htate-
ment that the races cannot live to.
gether."
TEsa answer was that they are liv-
Ing together, and any attempt to take
any number Of negroes out OF any
community would create a riot.
1--WE have the problem and we have
simply got to solve it." he asserted.
We have a race feeling; it does ex-
list and that's part Of the prob
lem"
Il believe in my heart you are go
ing to work It out by realizing that
1t Is not to the advantage of either
to make it difficult for both to live
together.
The negro is absolutely essential
to the south. Hence 1t is that the
work Of the Hampton Institute has
such tremendous Importance. It is
the solution Of the race question"
He did not believe In too many
crutches for those who were Just
learning to walk, but rudimental and
industrial education were the neces-
sary fundamentals to the development
of the negro race.
No unpdejudiced person, Mr.. Taft
said, could read the statistics of the
negro race in the past fifty years and
not feel convinced that solution was
to follow.
Wnen Mr. Tart remarked Il nave
been south recently" his audience in
dulged in knowing smile His ref
erence to good meals also produced
merriment, but his point was a de-
scription Of "Shilo Orphanage eat Atl-
rgusta, Ga.," in which he pictured the
pathetic scene.
1T Is very difficult to speak in par
liamentary language" declared Mr..
Taft, "of the advocacy of the doctrine
that we ought to keep the negroes
in ignorance.
Zone of the difficulties in the south
is that it is not the negroes only
that need education and l mean that
literally"
Turning his attention to italian i'm
migration to the south, Mr.. Taft re-
marked that he believed in COMPETE
ton in all things.
