Warships lombard Ancient Fortress,
Killing Fifteen Civilians
Island is Seized.

Paris, Sept. 1.-The Italians have
bombarded the fortress and school at
Corfu. An italian destroyer, the Pre-
muda, arrived at the island first I'M
der a white flag. The commander
went ashore and demanded the sur
render Of the Greek garrison. The
commander Of the ancient obsolete
fortress refused. Under a half hours
armistice the Italian naval officer re-
Joined his ship. Other ships came
in and the bombardment began.
A few shells from the Italian war
ships silenced the old, inefficient az
tillery in the fort and permitted the
landing party to disembark practically
without casualties and to seize the
strategic points Of the postoffice and
official buildings, after which they
captured the Notifications and i'm
prisoned the Greek garrison.
Airplanes flying over the town and
harbor aided through observation and
bombing. There were no Greek air.

GREAT BRITAIN
BACKS LEAGUE

BELGIUM is BACKING BRITISH
With Greco-ltalian Clash BIuntly Be-
fore 1t the Body Must Give
Decree That May Make
or Break Ii.

Geneva, Sept. 6.-With Belgium sid
Ing with Great Britain in her demand
for Intervention by the League Of Ma
lions in the Greco-Italian controversy,
the council of the league was bluntly
faced by the necessity of making a de-
cision which may make or break that
body.
Paul Hymans, the Belgian delegate,
is understood to have received orders
from Brussels TO vote for intervention
even if Premier Mussolini should
make good his threat to withdraw
from the league.
If the league decides that Italy
must get out Corfu, Great Britain is
ready to lend its fleet to turn it out
1t must be clearly understood that if
such an eventuality arises, which it is
hoped will not, the fleet will be acting
as a league fleet, not British. 1t is
understood that the British fleet would
likely be reinforced by units from the
Swedish and perhaps Dutch navies.
Signor Salandra, Mussolinfs repre-
sentative at the league, formally
placed the dictators defiance before
the council Signor Salandra pre-
scented a statement declaring that
Italy would regard league interven-
tion unjustifed.
League Held incompetent.
The statement insisted that the
league was incompetent to intervene
and that action properly rested with
the interallied council Of ambassadors,
under whose direction the Greco-Al-
bantam boundary demarcation commits
sion was acting when the five Italian
members and attaches of the mission
were killed at Janina, Greece.
M. POlitiS, the Greek delegate, made
a sharp reply.
1T is for the council to decide whether
1t is competent to act" he declared.

no authority to declare the league in

Would Ruin League Pact.
IF such point of view we're admit
ted, it would mean the definite ruin
of the pact of the league and of the
international organization which the
pact has created, because it would al
ways be possible to pretend for one
reason or another that the pact did not
apply to the nations which were par
ties to the dispute, and also because
one nation would interpret the pact
differently from others. Consequently
the leagues organism would not op-
crate.
This would mean that the league
was not to operate for the main
tenance of peace, but merely as a kind
of official body, effective only when
the two parties had reached an agree
ment Of their own accord"

Coolidge Pleads for Aid.


President Calvin Coolidge Monday
afternoon issued the following procla-
nation to the American people:
"To the People Of the United States
"An overwhelming disaster has over
taken the people Of the friendly nation
of Japan. While it's extent has not yet
been officially reported, enough is
known to justify the statement that
the cities of Tokyo and Yokohama and
surrounding towns and villages have
been largely if not completely de-
stroyed by earthquake fire and flood.
with a resultant appalling loss of life
and restitution and distress, requiring
measures of urgent relief.
"Such assistance as is within the
means of the executive department of
the government will be rendered. but
realizing the great suffering which
now needs relief and will need relief
for days to come, / am prompted to
appeal urgently to the American peo-
pie, whose sympathies have always
been so comprehensive, to contribute
in aiding the unfortunate and in CIV
ing relief to the people of Japan.
I'm order that the utmost co-ordina-
ton and effectiveness in the admins
tration of relief funds can be obtained.
1 recommend that all contributions.
clearly designated, be sent to the chair
man of the American International
Red Cross at Washington or to any of
the local Red Cross chapters for trans
mission to Japan"

Messages have been received here

tives and of foreign residents OF
Tokyo and Yokohama. No answer 10
these questions can be given at present.
Osaka has been unable to obtain any

foreigners.
Islands Swallowed Up.
San Francisco, Sept. 4.-The island
of Oshima, 60 miles southwest OF

There has been no news received In
Japan from the BONN ISLANDS, on
which is located a cable relay statlon'
and it is feared, the advices declared
that the land there was submerged Dy

The advices also confirmed Garner
reports of the submergence OF the
island of Enoshima, picture island,
one of Japan's most beautiful spots'
The island, the message said, was
swept away by tidal wave, as were
also Honomuku and Isoko, villages In
the vicinity of Enoshima.

10000 Trapped in Fire.
Shanghai, Sept. A dispatch from
Iwald tells in few words one OF the
Japanese tragedies.
Ten thousand fugitives, fleeing the
falling walls and flames of the HOMO
ward of Tokyo, took refuge in a mill
tary compound. 1t was surrounded
completely by a moat.
Then came the waves of fire, burn
ing every bridge leading to the COM
pound. Within half an hour the 10000
humans crowded inside the compound
were incinerated and the island was
smoldering furnace.
Not a man, woman or child escaped

ferers in the Japanese earthquake

In the meantime hurried prepare
lions were being made in Manila for
two army transports to take all avail
able supplies from army headquarters
in the Philippines to the scene of the
disaster.
The American Red Cross swung into
action with an appropriation of $11O,-
600 for relief and an appeal for funds
throughout America. The Red Cross
appeal was emphasized by a commu-
nication from President Coolidge call
ing on Americans to contribute to the
