DIN WAS TERRIFIC

OSAKA, Sept. 5.-Survivors reach ing here state that the din and confu- sion attending the quake were terrific. Severe oscillations were accompanied by tremendous jerks backward or for ward, the quake lasting for a period of nearly five hours. After the first heavy shocks buildings began to tot ter, and came down with a crash, bu- rying their occupants. The terrific storm and violent electrical display added to the terror, those inhabitants surviving the first shocks fleeing to nearby open spaces, and huddling to the ground to prevent flying missiles from overwhelming them.
 The quake was accompanied by one of the most violent electrical storms ever seen in Europe, the crashing of the thunder and the roar of the wind causing the stoutest hearts to fear the end of the world was at hand. Several thousand refugees who fled to the churches were overwhelmed by fall ing walls, and many were drowned as they lay under the ruins, by bursting water pipes and torrential rains.

 Over a million and half are home les in the Tokyo district, and great distress is experienced by the popula- tion.
 Corpses congest the rivers and it is certain that much sickness will ensue unless something is done to clean up the devastated area
