the killing of the members OF the
Italian delimitation mission in Greek
territory.
In addition to the bombardment

BIGGEST CITIES OF
JAPAN WIPED OUT
BODIES OF QUAKE VICTIMS
LIE UNCOUNTED. PILED
HIGH WITH LITTER.

SHANGHAI, China. - One hum
dred thousand persons have persisted
in Toxic and Yokohoma alone as the
result OF Saturdays earthquakes fol
lowed by fire, according to bulletins
received here from Japan.
Death and destruction were spread
over an area roughly comprised with
in radius of so miles of Toxic. How
extensive casualties and the material
damage outside that zone is has not
been determined, as all communica-
tons with Japan are still interrupted
except for brief connections by radio
with Tomioka and commercial dis
patches from Japan to Shanghai The
cities OF Toxic and Yokohama are de-
scribed as like hell"
Buildings were falling; fire was ev-
erywhere dead and dying were on all
sides; there were explosions and cries
of horror and fear by the panic-s trick
en- populace.
1t is feared that the casualties in
Toxic will exceed even those in the
great disaster in 1856, when more
than 100000 were killed in Yeddo
alone
The streets of Toxic are said to be
heaped with the bodies Of dead. Fire
is raging from one end of the city to
the other. The casualties are declared
to be nestimable Most of the big
buildings of the capital were destroy
ed.
What quake and fire did not de-
stroy on land tidal waves are report
ed to have crushed or sunk at sea.
Reports indicate that a great ty
phoon broke over Toxic Saturday
morning, subsiding at noon. The ty-
phoon was followed by terrific earth
shocks and CONGREGATIONS which
threw the city into chaos and struck
terror into the hearts of the inhabi
tants.
The best available reports say that
hardly structure was left standing in
the Yamanote district, which includes
the Toxic wards of HOMO, Fukaga-
wa, Shitaya, Nihonbashi and Kanda.
Thousands are without food and wa
ter and no means of getting any at
present
Tens of thousands of visitors, many
of them foreigners, are in the noun
tain resorts of the Hakone district.
They were panic stricken by the re-
peated quakes. Mount Hakone and
the town OF Atama were demolished,
with the loss of six or seven thousand
dead.

SMALLEST CROP IN
YEARS is INDICATED
APPLIES BOTH TO YIELD PER
ACRE AND TOTAL PRODUC-
DUCTION. LOSS IS BIG.

The boil weevil continued its ram
pages in south Georgia, but in north
Georgia the cotton plant displayed a
remarkable fruition during August
and an Improvement in condition OF
from 3 to 4 points was registered IN
that section, according to the monthly
crop review issued Saturday by the
Georgia Co Operative Crop Reporting
service of the federal and the state de-
partments of agriculture. One OF the
smallest cotton crops in many years
was predicted by the report. he
Weld per acre will be below 100
pounds, it said.
During the past thirty days the
boil wcevil has destroyed more than
half the cotton in south Georgia, and
is now taking heavy toll in the upper
section of that state. In North Geor-
gia the plant put on wonderful
amount of fruit during August, and
net improvement in condition OF three
or four points was registered in most
of the territory north of the line run
ming from West Point to Augusta.
South of that line the decline rarl from
moderate figure to II points in the
south and southwest. One large area
(the territory from Wilcox to Ber-
rien county, registered a practical fail
ure.
While most OF the damage may be
attributed to the boil weevil, excess
moisture, the army worm, the red
spider and the boil worm were respon-
sible for a considerable proportion.
The average condition for the entire
state is placed in this report at AZ
with the condition in Sumter county
placed at IS, and the southwest Geor-
gia district condition by counties, as
fof1o1uc.

Chase Trout in Cotton
Field as Water Rises
Ouer Public Highways

PELHAM, Ga.-Much interest
was manifested by a number OF
citizens of Camilla and vicinity
when it was learned that crowd
OF negroes had been seen chasing
a large trout in the middle OF
50-acre cotton field on planta-
tion belonging to ]. w. Middle
ton.
1t is estimated that it will re-
quire some two or three weeks
for water to recede to a point
where the hungry pursuers may
succeed in capturing the much
wanted fish. Several citizens OF
Pelham and Camilla for the first
time saw large fish being caught
by fishermen who were standing
on the Dixie highway between
Pelham and Camilla. Hundreds
of acres of cotton and other farm
products can not be seen for the
water in many parts of the coun-
ty. The crops are a complete TAIL
ure in many parts Of south Geor-
gia.

Curious Coinage.

TT is said that an EnGlishman who
contemplated a visit to the United
States and a trip from New York to
San Francisco asked how many times
the coinage changed during the jour
ney. Perhaps some justification for
his ignorance exists IN the number
of different coinages in the British
empire. The royal mint at London
not long ago struck nearly 100000
coins of aluminium for circulation in
Uganda and the Nigerian protecto-
rates Each coin is the value either
of one cent or two mills and is per-
forated like Chinese coins. SO that the
natives can string it. The lightness
Of aluminium and the fact that 1t is
the best non-germ bearing metal are
said to be the reasons for its selec-
ton. Lightly come and lightly go"
will be especially true of this money.

Devonian and near Gilboa, New
York"
| THE date of the great catastrophe
| l. which shall destroy San Fran
| cisco has not been given TO me yet,
| but | believe It will be in about
! twenty-eight years from the date Of
the last one, or in about 1888. l shall
| be shown little before It is to come
and nothing will prevent me from
sending direct TO the people of the
| city the exact date and hour, so
that they will have ample time to
| leave and save lives.
! The date Of the sinking of New
York City is not known to me either,
directly, but it will also be revealed
| in time to warn the people to fee.
But when revealed and sent to the
people in time to save their lives,
few will accept the terrible warning,
as in the days of Sodom and Go
morrah. yea, and in the recent days
| of the San Francisco earthquake and
| the days of the prophecies of the re-
cent war. They believe only the ca
tastrophic events after they come
| upon them, when it is too late.
AS far as I now can state the sink
ing of New York will occur in 1927
| or in 1888.
Under divine impulsion I went to
San Francisco in the month of March,
1912, and took house, as Paul did at
Rome. I taught and gave out these
great prophesies for seven months,

frequently during the week at
chapel in the house. At the ST. Fran
els Hotel for six consecutive Sunday
!! evenings. beginning June s, 1912.
gave the prophecies of great
world-crisis and a general overturn-
ing and told all the people that 1t
was right at their doors.
When the European sky became
darkened with a terrible war cloud
and all the nations were threatened
with insurmountable trials and dan
gers. even extinction, then these in
different ones began to remember and
many deeply regretted that they had
had no time for such matters or to
listen to the woman prophet whom
God had sent to warn the world in
1912.
In 1914 they who had sneered in
1912 were ready to hide their faces.
and in 1917. October 26. when the
new Russian regime, under the COM
mon people, had become fact and
the terrible sinister reign Of the
Cars had been forever put under
foot, these sneering ones, figuratively
speaking, donned sackcloth and
ashes.
They would all have had time for
such things then, but it was too late,
for they then knew that the pale
faced, white-robed ascetic was what
she had claimed to be-namely, the
God-ordained, anointed prophecies
for this age, and the only one, and
what she had revealed they saw. with
humiliation and gnashing of teeth,
was terrible and unquenchable truth.
DURING my public work in San
- Francisco in August and Sep
tember, 1917, beginning at the En-
erson studios and ending at the
Scottish Rite hall. September .. l told
the people, among other things, that
the financial systems of the earth
