were killed in Yokohama. This is
considered a plausible estimate of
the proportion of the loss of foreign
lives in the two cities, although 1t Is
by no means complete, judging from
earlier figures.
Although the foreign colonies Of
the two cities are about equal in
number, everybody free to leave
Toxic, 1t is thought, would have been
at the mountain and seaside resorts
on Saturday afternoon when the de-
struction started, while Yokohama
was probably crowded with foreign
residents and tourists.
The LATEST British advices are that
the relief work is we'll in hand. A
British warship arrived at Yeko-
hama yesterday afternoon, and all
the foreign refugees are being taken
aboard.
The encouraging reports regarding
the safety of the foreigners, however
give little cause for hope of the es-
cape of many among the millions
of Japanese who lived along the
shores Of Toxic bay, from Yokosuka
on the southwestern shore of the
bay, near the entrance, through Yo-
kohama, Kanagawa and the city of
Toxic to Chiba, on the eastern side,
and along the shores of Sagami bay,
on the western side of the Izu PENN
sula, where many foreigners as well
as Japanese spend their summers in
the seashore colonies.
AS yet no reports have been re-
from the Sagami districts and
1t is believed the loss of life there
will be found to have been as heavy
as any other part, because of the
popularity of the resorts.

A recapitulation of the earth

Yokohama as its center, extending
north and south about 100 miles

mated that about 20 per cent of the

Yokohama, according to reports

RECORD Of
ALL BIRTHS IN

Health Department Points to
Importance of Full
Registration.

The Health Departments bulletin
for the week ending April IA today
carries an appeal to physicians, and
mid-wives to register all births In
the District. The report states the
registration of births is increasing
and that approximately So per cent
of all births are recorded here.
Every birth should be officially
recorded within the time limit
specified by law, and the duty IS
as much a part Of the physician 8
obligation as attention to the oirtn
itself" says the report.
1.-THE Importance of this duty Is
apparent. Questions of legitimacA
of age, of inheritance, OF nativity
and of individual identity are OFTEN
dependent upon the official records
Of birth. Within the past few years
the percentage Of recorded births IN
the District has very materially IN
creased, and at the present time
is believed to be quite as complete
as in any city in the United states
OF equal or greater population"

Bessy, seventeen, not to send him
any news that would worry him.

DIVORCE DECLINING

LONDON, April 19.-The number
of divorces in England and Wales
declined 33 per cen. in 1921, &C.
cording to statistics recently pub
Iished. This is considered a fine
showing over the previous year,
when there was an increase of 365
per cent over the per war totals,
due largely to the fact that only in
recent years have legal facilities
been available to the poorer classes.
In the last nine years 24.209 di-
vorce suits were filed. OF the 3,461
entered in 1921, 1902 petitions were
filed by husbands and 1859 by
wives. Ninety-five per cent. Of the
petitioners were successful. Pro-
fessional men head the list with
