Inmates that not more than 5000 earth
shocks are recorded throughout the

Fire Hazard Neglect.
Failure Of the Japanese to protect
themselves against the fire hazards
that follow every earthquake, Father
Tondorf declared. has resulted in
great unnecessary destruction by
Mondays quake. Most Of the loss of
life and property in central Japan at
this time is due, he said, not SO much
from the quake as from the fires that
followed 1t.
Until engineers look into the subject
thoroughly, he warned, there will al
ways be heavy loss of property in
zones Of severe quakes. These warn
ings have repeated themselves the
world over, he declared, for in nearly
every great earthquake the water
mains and water reservoirs have been
cut off.

the solution Of the safety problem"
he said, when the quakes cut off
water sources for fighting the fires.
