Daily Mail Maintains

the Strong Stand ~ Premiers.

(British United Press) LONDON, Oct. 9.»~Thc decision if the imperial Conference to with- hold all publicity of yesterday's

proceedings aroused some curios-

ity and not a little rcscntmcrt: in

certain quarters.

The Dally Mull, Lord llother-

mere's powerful organ. maintains openly that the governlneut is af- raid to publish the speeches of the dominion premiers owing

to thc strong stand, which they took in to

day's issue. The Dolly Mail's pvt slogan, "lists off lo France" hints that grave (lisscuslons have alrea- dy arisen and undcr a big splash bad ltnlks about hiliukcrs for Ilrit- sin. ln reality publicity‘ has merely been withheld for u few days to n1- low tho Curzon draft to reply to criticisms offered and to co-ordluotc suggestions of constructive pro- posals that were offered.

The British ‘Foreign Secretary's

reply will probably be ready Thurs dny and it is probable that either the general policy in regard to pub

lcity will be cached or else the

dominion premiers will be permit-

cd to use their discretion as to

whnt should and what should not be revealed.

This is the conclusion to be drawn from an article by Colonel Romain. in the Revue De Paris, one of the most serious of the french bl-monthlles. The article gives a sinister aspect to the An- glo-French race for the supremacy of the uir by making one realize that, as a result of recent experi- ments in French airdroules, thc system of guiding airplanes at a illstance is now so perfect that the annihilation of cross-channel ports fillll cities by fleets of pilotlcss ms- chincs is only a matter of pressing u but-ion in Paris or some other centre.

Ilowcvcr. more peaceful uses for it also are contemplated. As a mail carrier. for instance. Flying in the upper strata of the utmos- phurc at 375 ulllcs an hour, such a machine, it is pointed out, could cross thc Allzlntic in seven hours.

Each province may be described as a community unto it- self. lt has personahamhitious and an individual viewpoint. Therefore to s large extent national cohe- siveness is lacking. The Navy League is working to promote a national spirit of sea conscious- ness. for whether the citizen be a farmer. an artisan or a profes- sional man. mnd whether he lives upon the seaboard or 2.000 miles inland, his prosperity and the pros- perity of_the nation depend upon free sea communication. One of the lessons taught by the late war was the fact shat a merchant mar- ine is only dependable in times of danger when manned by native born sailors. Through the estab- lishment of ses coasts throughout Canada the Navy League is doing an excellent work in interesting the youth of the land in a ses- fsrlag career."

(Was At Yokohama Pier, On Board Em- press of Australia, When the Earth- quake Occurred-Amazing Tale of Hor- rors Told to the Guardian by Mr. J. R. Flint of Montreal

The story of tllc terrible earth- quake dlsster at Yokohama, Jalr nu. on Sept. 1st, was graphically told to thc Guardian yesterday hy su Lye-witness. Mr. Jos R. l-‘llnt, of Montreal. who was a passenger here on the Canadian Supper. Mr. Flint who had colupletefl a busi- ness tour of China and Japan. WfiS on the poiut of eulbarkiug for Canada in the Rflil. S. En:- press of Australia at the limo of the earthquake.‘

The stesmemvas ready to start at noon of thnt eventful day when thc (ll-sealer hapfienazLT-heilistnrbance was too tremendous to be sei- zed by human comprehension. it seemed at first as if something bud gon- wrong on thc ship. The shock jarred every part of her and threw the passengers heltor-skcltti" on the duclcs. ‘.‘\ hen they looks-l ovcr the side again the buildings ou the wharf, the wharf-head itself and the gay crowds of people they had seen were simply blotted out of r-tistcucci

The scum-loll that followed \\"IS absolnlt-ly indescribable. Ladies w. thc r-lip, who a few moor-ants bcforc hnd ln-cn exchanging fnre- wells with friends, became nlldly hysterical uud one had to be ros- traincd by Mr. l-‘lint from jumping ovcl" board.

Looking towards the front part of Yokahnma, a short hsif mile away. the whole mass oi‘ buildings was seen to collapse like a pack of cards. Then came clouds of smoke and dust through which nothing could be 880R. The wild- est panic prevailed for a while, hut lsoou all efforts were directed i0- Twurds saving the ship, for fire had broken out everywhere and the iwrecked wharf was in flames. This was successfully achieved with the aid of the big ship pumps. It was impossible for the steamer to got from the wharf out iuto open water. as they become entangled with the anchor chain and cable of Tan American ship, thc Steam Nav- ‘lgntor, lying directly in front of them. whose captain and apparen- tly all the officers had been killed. That evening about '7 p.m. au- othcr earthquake took place at Tok- io. eighteen miles distant. and the passengers on the Euipross could sec the flames from that city ill- uminlng the sky for miles. They did not know until next day. how- ever. of the quake there anrl had no idea of thc tremendous (instruc- tion, wrought. This second quake, practically annihilated Tokio.

The Aftermath

On Sunday the following dzigr, oil able-bodied passengers, under the direction of thc ship officers, sot nut on rescue work. Mr. Flint vol- unteered us nurslnan on tho first relief boat sent out from the steam- er at 6 .:.m. They rowed towards the Grand Hotel at Yokohama and bfllwlwii there. then scoured the water front for injured persons.

“it was simply hell". Mr. Flint declared. “Everywhere were dead bodies-sometimes two or three in the streets, among the fallen buildings. We found lots of people needing our as- sistance. many of them horribly injured—~men. women and children. There were several Europeans but of course the greater number were Japanese or Chinese. We worked all thnt day, inking them to the

Among scenes of horror was one which stamped itself upon Mr. Finn's memory and which he de- clared nothing of what he had im- agined of Dante's inferno could equal. This was the canal sloug- slde tho Grand Hotel into which in the confusion of the earthquake, hundreds of people had jumped for safety. Many were caught in thc deep mud under the shallow water. The ebbing tide draining the canal left these unfcrtunates helplessly smothered with parts of thc-fr bodies remaining in sight.
