TOXIC, Jan. 14.--With the devas-
tation of the southern part of the
island of Kiushiu by volcanic erup-
ton, tidal waves, earthquake and fire,
following the crop failure in Northern
Japan, where 100000 persons are
starving. the Imperial Government
faces the most appalling national
problem of modern ages.
While the Foreign Office estimates
the loss of life in the eruption of the
volcano Sakura lima at 300, private
kilograms from the south indicate
that the final death list will run into
the thousands. Hundreds were also
hurt in flight, many of them fatally.
The Government is holding more
warships in readiness for relief work
at Kagoshima, while the War Office
has detailed 1000 soldiers to similar
duty If their services are needed.
The japanese Government may be
forced to appeal to the outside world
for financial aid as II is estimated
that 100000 at least will be need
ed to succor all the victims of disas-
ter in the north and south.

Preacher Who Took Poison Says
He Will Devote Life to Ad-
vising Young Men.

Lying on his cot in Grady Hospi-
mum dose which he took in a futile
attempt to end his life in the office
of a public stenographer in the Fourth
National Bank Building, the Rev.
Robert J. Huff. Baptist minister of
College Park, Wednesday issued a
warning to all young men to beware
| of debt.
Il want The Georgian to tell young
men for me to keep out of debt and
live within their income, for 1t was
an awful burden of debt, with which
| have been overwhelmed for fourteen
years, that forced me to make this
terrible attempt on my life" said the
minister, in faint and tremulous
tones Debt means nothing but mis-
. cry and trouble"
Always the Handicap of Debt.
With wife and nine children to
feed and clothe, Huff said, he had
found 1t impossible to escape from
meager salaries he drew for his
preaching and in his efforts at II
| livelihood in other lines of work. He
had striven hard to keep the wolf
from the door, he said, but had made
a failure. Finally, when life at last
seemed an utter blank, he sought
death as a panacea for his troubled
mind and crushed spirits.
HUFF explained that he was forced
| to go in debt fourteen years ago when
| he went to school to prepare himself
for his life's work, and that, no mat
! ter how hard he tried, he had never
| been able to lift 1t.
| He ventured the opinion that he
probably had committed a great sin"
in seeking self destruction, but de-
clared his belief that he would have
been saved had he died.
When I die, l will 60 into the great
beyond believing as firmly as ever in
my God" he murmured. Had death
taken me yesterday, l believe my
cause for self-destruction sufficient to
have brought the forgiveness of the
| God who UNDERSTANDABLE all things.
God can see into the hearts and
consciences Of all men, and He knows
full we'll the reasons that drive men
to a suicides grave. From my own
pitiful experience | feel satisfied
| that a man can commit suicide with
out being forever lost
Begs Wife's Forgiveness.
Mrs. Huff called to see the preacher
Tuesday afternoon, and the would be
suicide broke down and wept as he
| begged her to forgive him. He asked
that his children be kept in ignorance
Of his act.
Huff declined to answer a question
| as to whether he again would try to
kill himself.
Il can't say as to that" he replied,
as he shook his head gravely.
HUFF explained that he had occu-
pied pulpits in Winder. Lakewood
Heights, Oakland City, and other
| points, but that he had not been en-
gagged in active ministerial work for
| several months.
II have resolved now, however" he
said, determinedly, that when | get

world and preach to young men to
