60 out so stayed on and went back
to Central avenue.
When we reached 34th Street
everything was over. Power and
telephone lines were strewn all over
the ground and fire was flying right
and left. The Shoreham 500 Line
shops were wrecked and large num-
Der of box cars were tipped over.
Ambulance sirens were screaming
and making their way to the scene
of disaster, where injured were
pinned under the wreckage. DWELL
ings, as well as places of business,
were demolished and everyone was
out in the street, wondering how so
much could happen in so little time.

Later in the afternoon when broken
power lines were untangled and
power restored, I returned to the
end of the line. AS I walked up
the street I saw nothing damaged to
any extent until 1 reached the home
OF my sister and brother-in-law.
Doors were locked and all was evil
dent that they were not at home.
Their chimney was blown down onto
their porch roof and a tree was ly-
ing over it; while an attic window
was blown in unbroken.
In the morning as I was preparing
to 60 to the train, tuned in on the
radio for the weather report and If
sounded as follows: Showers and
thunderstorms for Minnesota and
Wisconsin. I told my daughter
did not want to 60 to the city as
was bit afraid. She said had bet
ter 60 as I was all ready and the
weather man is mistaken more than
half the time anyway.
I am glad I went as I feel certain
that this experience has helped me
overcome the awful fear of storms
of which / have suffered all my life.

u. S. and Japan.

There are, for instance, his confer
ences with japanese Ambassador No.
mura; they have as their one and
only goal the preservation of peace
with Japan. And it should be easy,
for, after all, Japan cannot-for fl
nancial reasons be a formidable po-
tential enemy, but with German
backing she might attain a strength
which would make her an irritating
nuisance-if all the provocation
originated on the Asiatic coast of the
Pacific ocean; which it doesn't.
When you come down to brass
tacks, there is between the United
States and Japan no controversy
that cannot be peaceably solved,
and that thought apparently is
uppermOst in the mind of the
President of the United States
and in that of the emperor of
Japan at this moment.
The Japanese attitude was illus
trated few days ago when the Tokyo
government in spite of earlier pro-
tests did not do anything to prevent
the arrival of three American tank
ers with oil consigned for Russia, at
Vladivostok. But there is, of course.
always this to be remembered that
in Japan there is strong militar-
istic group, coveting war. We have
persons of the same type in the
United States, as far as that goes.
incidentally, it may be mentioned
here that according to some seeming
