ONE FOURTH OF

Flames Are Spreading and
There Is Little Hope
For the City.

OSAKA, Japan, July 31.-One fourth
of the city was destroyed by the fire
which threatened to destroy every
building. Over 5000 houses were
burned. The loss of life is enormous.
The intense heat almost boiled the
water. in the canals which the firemen
attempted to use after the destruction
of the aqueduct Over three square
miles of the city are destroyed. A
whole army division is fighting the
flames, the constant detonatiOn of the
explosives adding to the terror of the
inhabitants. high wind is blowing
toward the unburned section.
Osaka, having over a million popula-
ton, is the commercial center of ia
pan. the most picturesque city in the
empire. and containing many of the
oldest and most interesting structures,

Fire is spreading tonight and 1t
seems impossible to save the remain

up by the fire and the men are pow

are arriving and are endeavoring to
control the panic stricken people. The
fire started when a resident in the
northern part of the city upset g lamp.
The situation is desperate.

Clearly Faxed
! IN DIRE STRAITS
DOWN THE STREET
Some Have Moved Away
Some Never Lived Here
Some Are Dead.

Someone evidently found himself in
a corner once from which there seemed
no escape. That was not surprising,
and the further fact that he found a
loop-hole is not to be wondered at.sBut
in the endeavor to secure a list of
names for contestants in the illegiti-
mate contest now being carried on, the
manager of the evening tanglefoot
down the street made some false steps.
The most sacred memories cherished
by those whose loved ones have gone
to another world are being desecra ted
by the erstWhile sheet so much in need
of names. Young husbands are held
up to modification, not to say ridicule
by the appearance of the names of
their wives, and people who have gone
to live in other cities are unwillingly
brought into a slowly -dimming spot
light because of their inability to pro-
tect themselves.
Bona -fide contestants were apparent
ly hard to secure, and in his despera-
ton, the contest manager went to the

The trip was undertaken solely for

A 24-horsepower Packard machine
