DESTRUCTION OF POMPEH
1000 YEARS AGO DWARFED
BY DISASTER TO JAPANESE
World Due to Gasp Again When Complete Figures
of Cataclysm Become Known-Censorship in
Effect-Fate of Yokohama Will Be Story
of Worlds Greatest Catastrophe, Is Belief

, property loss cannot be Forthcoming
for many months.
Relayed and delayed information
from Toxic states that 10000 dead
bodies already have been buried or
burned: that the total dead will run
over 100000.
Other dispatches. their facts CLEAN
ed from persons who saw Toxic after
| its holocaust had been spent, state
| that only parts OF the downtown bust
ness district were burned; that its
outlying sections, insofar as fire was
concerned, came through unscathed.
Yet if 10000 dead already have
been buried in Toxic and total life
loss there will exceed 100000 what
must have been the terrible toll Of
Yokohama?
All dispatches to date have been
strangely silent about the tragedy of
Yokohama. A great commercial port
of more than 100000 people, it was
literally obliterated from the face of
the earth. Not building stands but
that was charred in the conflagration
that ragged within few moments after
the first savage temblor.
Tokio's fire did not come for some
hours after the first earthquake. Eye
witnesses say that it spreads slowly.
Not so with Yokohama. The raging
inferno that swept everything before
it followed fast on the heels of shat
tering quakes. People had little or
no chance to escape.
Retreat was cut off. Those who
managed to flee from falling build
ings and dwellings were cut down
in the middle of the streets as they
fled. Thousands managed to reach
the water front.
Paint Horrible Picture.
Eye witnesses, upon whose mem
DRY dreadful spectacle was indelibly
printed for life, paint horrible word
picture of the Bund. the thoroughfare
that leads alonr Yokohama's water
front. Block after block for a dis
lance of more than two miles, they
say, bodies lay intertwined with
each other so thickly that it was diff
ficult to move through them without
stepping upon the dead.
This great horde, to all appear
ances, collapsed from suffocation
when they were less than so feet
in some cases less than ten feet
from possible safety in the water.
Countless others, who plunged into
the bay, were drowned.
1t is safe to conjecture that most
Of Yokohama'S dead will be found
in the wrecked and charred ruins Of
collapsing structures. In many cases
no evidence whatever will be found
because the flames will have left none,
and it will take months and even
years to delve into the miles upon
miles of ruins that lay where Ysko-
hama once stood.

San Francisco, Cal, Sept. 15.-Al-
though two full weeks have elapsed
since earthquake and fires razed the
two greatest cities of Japan and re-
duced to ruin almost a score of near.
by towns and villages, the outside
world as yet is only partly informed
regarding the true magnitude of the
terrible cataclysm.
That 1t is appalling, almost be
yond comprehension, far eclisping the
most dreadful catastrophes of world
history, is realized in a general way
but when the final facts are known
the world may again have to gasp in
new horror.
As yet there has not come direct
from Toxic and Yokohama, definite
authorized information concerning
loss or life or other property. Both
places are still cut off from the
outside world.
All information as yet has come
from Kobe and Osaka. hundreds of
miles away-all of it bits of inform

few instances, the individual, but
necessarily limited observations of
newspaper correspondents who them
selves went through the awful Or
. deal.
Hundreds Of messages, many of
them press dispatches are coming
out of Japan with each passing day.
Most Of them tell Of some new and
almost unbelievable horror, some
hitherto unknown, but shocking phase
of the tremendous calamity.
Az IN instance there has come
within the last day or so a dispatch
relating that 1000 dead were found
in the compound of the army clothing
warehouse in the Monjo ward of
Toxic. Seeking safety they met

Gable Only Communication.
Such reports will continue to come
for weeks and even months yet. A
single line of cable across 400 miles
of Pacific ocean is the only means Of
communication. Messages that arrive,
even press dispatches are three, four,
five days-in some cases n week old.
Radio Communication. which for five
days furnished the only facts about
the disaster, has been shut down by

Japan less than a hundred years

the most progressive nation in the
world, fears that anything but the

Paris, Sept. 15.-Sunday will see
the fourth anniversary of the smallest
fake state-the free commune OF Mont
Martre-celebrate with due pomp
and ceremony on the top of the north
ernmost hill of Paris, from which
Mont Martre by corruption Of the
Latin, derives its name. This hill
was the scene of the martyrdom Of St.
Denis-in Latin Mont Martyrdom or
the mountain of Martyrs.
The free commune of Mont Martre
was founded in 1919, by an irreverent
band of artists, musicians, actors and
other irresponsible denizens of Mont
Martre, to mock the solemnity with
which all of France was then piung-

RETIRED SOLDIER DIES
Sergeant CallaIier,, Age 46, Succums
Suddenly Friday.

Sgt. Weldon NJ. Cahaher, 46, a re-
tired on-commissioned army officer,
died suddenly Friday afternoon at his
apartments on Holman street. The
cause of his death was not determined.
Sergeant Callaher was native Of
Lock Haven, Pa. While in the army
he served with the Thirteenth and
Nineteenth infantry regiments. He
retired only few years ago. He is
survived by his sister, Mrs. J. Tim
norman of Cleveland, Ohio. Sergeant
Callaher was a life member Of San
Antonio Aerie No. 20, Fraternal Or
der of Eagles.
The remains are being held by the
Riebe Undertaking Company pending
funeral arrangements.

Considering the quick and complete
destruction of Yokohama it is not
unreasonable to believe that the great
er part of her congested population
may have persisted with her. 1t is
4 worldwide belief that the greatest
catastrophe of all time was the de-
struction of Pompeii.
You can meet people on most any
street corner today who will tell you
that not even the tragedies of Soko-
hama and Toxic will transcend
Poppeii's debacle. Its tragic fame
has been carried down through TWEEN
ty centuries and immortalized by
such famous writer's as Bulwer.
The slaughter of Pompeii is dwarf
ed into insignificance even by the
reported number of dead already
buried in Toxic. The population of
the ancient town at the foot of Yes
ivus was not more than 12,OO0--and
history records that most of them
escaped. The same applies to such
terrible disasters as those of Calves
ton and of San Francisco. Five
thousand lost their lives at Calves
ton and 500 persisted in this city
seventeen years ago in its dual casti-
CATION of earthquake and fire.
San Francisco Sympathizes.
Because they too have faced the
scourge of death and destruction, San
Franciscans probably better than peo-
pie in any other part of America,
have a clearer conception Of what has
befallen the two premier cities of
Japan. They know how deep the
scars will go and how great the cour-
age demanded TO rebuild upon the
ruins of the old.
At such times, too, they know that
sublime courage supplants the more
ordinary kind and that Toxic at least,
a quarter century from now will have
arisen TO even greater glOries.
And unlike Pompeii, having arisen
again, what an indelible chapter will
be inscribed in the history of time
twenty centuries hence.

advocating the national bureau for
identification of criminals and hopes
that in the future such a bureau may
be established for the whole coun-

as extensive a bureau as it is pos

this necessarily has been limited in
