' Special trains carrying physicians, nurses and supplies were being rushed to the devastated district from Osaka, It is estimated the injured number about 1000. Early estimates said the dead would not exceed 100, out 20,000 have been made homeless by the tremor and the fires which followed. The tremblors continued in the Osaka district for ten minutes and the populace is in a panicky state. Shortly before midnight Tokio was shaken by a distinct earth shock, which caused no damage, according v to available reports. The earthquake centered at Taji-mfifty miles from Osaka. All lines of communication into the stricken district are down. Trains were wrecked and in the absence of reports from one passenger train it was feared it had been engulfed wheu a tunnel on the railroad lone collapsed. Fear was also felt for manw miners reported to have been trapped underground when the great Inkuno silver mine, the largest in Japan, was damaged by the tremblor. A fleet of airplanes sent out from Osaka over the Hyogo prefecture reported great fires were still raging. The city of Toyo-Oka- , which has a population of 10,000, was reported half in ruins, while the near-btowns of Kinosaki, where famous hot springs are located, and Tsiuyama were said to be totally destroyed. Forest fires were started and ships endeavoring to give aid to the homeless at Tsuiyama were unable to make landings because of the fierceness of the flames. The first shock came at 11:08 o'clock in the morning and it was felt in Osaka, Kobe, Kyoto, Nagoya, Kara and other towns in the Kwan-sa- i region as far as Shiminoseki, as well as in the province of Tajima, where the shock centered. Mount Yakegatake, a famous volcano, was reported in erupition coincident with the earthquake, and crop damage was caused by a rain of ashes from its crator. According to advices reaching here from the earthquake zone, public buildings of Toyo-Okincluding the postoffice and railroad station were razed by the earthquake shock, and fire breaking out almost simultaneously quickly swept through the busi-nes- s district. Water mains were broken by the quake. a, y Germany Will Aid Fight On Gas Geneva.

Later events, however, caused a difference of opinion as to whether tha luck had been on the soldier's side or on that of the British army and the British empire. Perhaps the most important event of his career which had to do with these two ideas was the historic battle of Ypres in the World war, the winnir of which barred the channel ports from the Germans and saved It England from probable invasion. was at Ypres that the Germans first resorted to their deadly gas attacks a form of warfare that impelled the British commander to deplore the fact that an army would stoop so low. In 1907 French was appointed inspector general of the forces and five years later he was made chief of the imperial general staff. He was made a field marshal in 1913 and as such went to France at the beginning of the world war as commander in chief of the expeditionary forces. Here again he displayed his extraordinary ability as a military leader. He was, in a way, responsible for the change In the British cabinet resulting in the creation of the minstry of munitions, at the head of which former Premier Lloyd George succeeded in awakening the munitions manufacturers to the necessity of rallying to the aid of the soldiers in the field. In the early engagements in France French's army was outnumbered by the enemy and short of high explosives to halt the German advance. To the latter was attributed the necessity for the strategic retreat from Mons, in which he bandied the sorely tried British army In masterly fashion.

Mr. Humphrey had declared the commission had received from the senate several resolutions requesting investigations not directly relating to alleged antitrust law violations, with vhich he said the commission is primarily concerned. Mentioning resoe lutions by Senators Shlpstead, La and Norris, he said "it is clearly apparent that the primal move in all of them is political; to advance the personal fortunes of some per-oparty or class." If the commission must respond to every resolution of either house or congress, he declared, "then it would e entirely within the power of either house to use the commission absolutely as a publicity bureau to spread such propaganda as the whim of the hour might dictate." "In the interest of economy and peace in the business world," Senator Borah said, "It would be better to abolish" the commission. "After a commission of this kind comes under the influence of politics and political pressure from the outside, it can be of no possible service to the people." He declared the commission is no longer a protection to the small business interests and "the purpose of its creation cannot under existing conditions be realized." The appointment of Commissioner Humphrey was one of several which drew opposition toward the close of the senate session, although he was confirmed by a vote of 45 to 10, Senators Borah, Norris and Shlpstead were among the ten voting against confirmation, on the ground that Mr. Humphrey was "reactionary" in his Senator Borah political affiliations. also opposed creation of the commisFol-lett- sion.
