rural family rode into town in a lum-
Der wagon or the family surrey. At
the same time the city dwellers could
be seen with baskets, standing on a
corner awaiting street car to carry
them TO park or picnic grounds
But today all has changed. The
farmer folks roar into town in almost
any make Of modern automobile.
while city folks don't wait on the
corners any more. They pile their
baskets on the running board of the

FEAR FURTHER

BY RAY G.. MARSHAL,

I
PEKIN, September 6.-l0:4Q p.
m.-Efforts to get into wireless
communication with the Mitsui Ra-
dio station failed today, due per-
haps to further earthquakes in
Japan or to severe static.
The American legation is making
efforts to establish radio connec-
tion with the American destroyers,
which are being placed at regular
intervals to make wireless bridge
between China and Japan.
Sporadic radio dispatches from
Osaka gave word of the sufferings
of survivors of the great disaster.
Food is very scarce and spread of
disease is feared rs survivors in
many areas are forced to dwell
among corpses of people killed five
days ago. ...
1t is believed that the casualties
in the mountain districts where
MANY summer resorts are located
may have been very high. No ac-
curatc information is vet available
concerning what occurred in these
interior communities as severance
of communication isolated them.
These resorts are extensively pat
ronized by Americans and Euro
peans.
A million and 4 half persons, it
is estimated, are homeless in Toxic
and Yokohama. Many foreigners
may be among these.
Prince Hiroko Kan-1n, brother of
the Mikado, is among the dead.
