Washington, Sept. 2O.-Nearly q
mitiiQn people have ben made home
less by one OF the greatest floods on
record in that section of China where
the American Red Cross has already
spent $6O0,OOO for flood protection
and where the $3O,0OO,OOO loan for
reclamation work, which was post
poned by the war, was to have been
spent. Reports to the state depart
ment today from the American con-
sui at. Nanking said the Hwai river
mad Inundated an area of about 1000
square miles I'm Anhui province. APP
peals for aid have been sent out for
the homeless, who virtually are en-
tircly dependent on charity, as all the
autunin crops were destroyed.
Today's delayed advices described
conditions several weeks ago, but Of
ficials believe there probably has been
little Improvement. In the case OF
previope foods; in that district the
watsrs have been held for long periods
by tlie aliuvial soil.
The State department summed up
it's dispatches on the subject in the
foiioNing announcements: 6

the American. consul at Nanhing. dis

the waters reached such height as

Day OF Atonekbtnt, October 7til.
ION the New Year all the inhabit-
ants Of the earth pass before Him as
sheep before shepherd" In these
words the ancient Jewish Iaxv boolr,
the Mishna. refers to. the significance
OF this day. 1t Is a day OF Judgment
when the sins and the merits of all
men are weighed by the Divine Judge.
The Talmud tells that in THE annual
New Years Judgment scene three
books lie open before the Most High.
In one book, the Book of IAfe, tho
names ,of the perfectly righteous. the
sinless. hre inscribed: the second book,
the book Of death has recorded in it
the Hames Of the utterly wicked; and
the third book is for the ordinary
middle type" Of men. in whose be-
half Judgment is suspended through
the ten days Of penitence. until the
Day Of Atonement when the decision
is finally made and recorded.
The services for the day are espec-
iaily solemn. Prayers In prose and
poetry. dwelling upon the theme of
Gods Judgment of man, are recitsd
and sung. The Rams horn, the "Sho-
far" summoning men to prayer and
repentance. is sounded in all synagogs
At the close Of the service the wor-
shippers greet each other with the
words 'May you be written down for
a good year." th So ,,,...
Orthodox Jews observe many cere-
monies which suggest the ideas and
emotions of the day. In the home
honey and fruits are eaten and the
pious wish expressed May 1t be- Thy

Will go to a river. shake crumbs from,
their clothes and reeite among other

Struggling militiamen, coming into

though shrewd, move made by a
freight train on the A. & V. Railroad,
40 miles from Meridian, on Tuesday
night, when the entire train was
cleared Of runaway guardsmen, and
not word was spoken.
Twenty-one somesick Hattiesburg
militiamen boarded the freight as ii

1t was dark and the men thought their
presence was not noted But they
were wrong. No effort to locate any
of them was made. Their travelling
was undisturbed, and every hour
found them 30 miles nearer Hatties-
burg and home.
The freight drew into Forest, 40
miles from Meridian, and came to a
stop some distance the other side. 1t
looked for a time as if it would be
there for an hour. The tired men,
desiring to stretch" themselves,
alighted, walked about the siding, and
watched the trainmen at work.
The signal to "back up" was given.

Mrs. Regler found the front of her

She screamed, and the policeman, who

Placing his bicycle against the

and searched each room with care.
Nothing had been disturbed, and ap-
Darently the burglar had been only

toned themselves on the side of the
track to await its return. 1t soon had
backed its way into the darkness and
out OF sight at slow rate.
In about two minutes the noise of
an oncoming train was heard. The
men arose to their feet ready to catch
the freight as it came on to the sid
ing. But they reckoned without the
engineer and the conductor. When
that freight passed Forest, it was 60

the crowd that were of that type. The
other 18 stood ON the siding and
watched the fast freight flash by. 1t
was midnight and it was dark. No
one knew where they were and no one
could be asked. 1t was early the next
morning before second freight came
by. They caught this, and managed,
after making several connections, to
get into Hattiesburg just in time to
be told by the provost guard to be at
