the Japanese embassy itself kal
been able to get any messages
through either way up to noon, and
there was considerable apprehen-
sion felt for the safety Of the
many Americans known to be in
Tokyo and its enyirons.
Two dispatches were received
from Admiral Anderson this morn
Ing. The first simply reported that
he was en- route to Yokohama aboard
his. flagship, and stated destroyer
division, No. 80, was being dis
patched to the seacoast cities Of
the island empire.

The message received at the Navy
Department said:
Commander Destroyer Squadron
with Destroyer Division 80, plus
Stewart less Borie, sailed from
Darien port Arthur for Yokohama

arriving 4th; Huron and Black
Hawk for Chefoo."
The Borie will arrive at Nagasald
tomorrow and the destroyer division

The message was filed at 10 b. N.
last night, consequently the relief
vessels are well on their way.
The first duty of the American
ships will be to ascertain and re-
port upon the extent OF damage To-
American lives and property In the
stricken zones, and to render such
relief work as they are capable OF.
Just what measures are taken win
be left to the discretion Of Admiral
Anderson, but naval officials said
that every facility would be put, at
the command Of the sufferers, both
American and Japanese.
President Coolidge was at his
desk in the White House at q.
o'clock, although he had no engage
ments. He sent out word that he
was to be supplied with an i'm
formation as fast as it came in.
The awful catastrophe visited upon

MARSHALL TO
PRODUCE A
NEW PLAY

George Marshall will content
himself with only one producing
venture during the winter. His
single effort will be "Alohma. a
drama of the South Seas by John
B. Hymer and LIE Roy Clemens.
and it will get under way as soon
as the authors have succeeded in
turning out a last act that salts
fies the producer.
Marshall's decision to halt his
stock company operations this
winter is due to the fact, he saws.
that he found it impossible to
get the players he wanted for his
troupe. He was offered the Belasco
here in Washington, he says, for
the winter, and a group of Can't
talists in Baltimore have offered
to build him a new tEeater, but
he declined both offers and will
confine his efforts to superintend-
ing this one piece.
Wanda Lyon will have the lead.

ROAD COMMISSION
 PREPARING FOR SPRING

The Alaska Road Comm fssion has set a crew of men, under John Lind berg, at work digging a channel in side the mouth of the Snake River Harbor. By channeling the ice the spring water will confine itself to the center of the river and reduce the danger to the jetties. Supt. c. Jones pursued this method last spring and accomplished the results sought. This spring the revetments and jetties are in much better con- dition than last spring, but never theless the government will play safe and be prepared for emergenc- ies.
 Bridges and ,culverts under con- ltrol of the Road Commission will likewise be shove1ed out as protec. tion against the spring floods.
