Starvation Now Confronts the
Survivors of Tidal Wave
and Earthquake
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4. The re
port that plasterers' wages of $104 and more a week are causing student ministers and other profes
sional, men to take up the trowel in Evanston, 111., where work on a new hotel la in progress, has - excited
much interested comment by educators in the nation's capital. Ministers have been indignant that a divine deserted his church for the
opportunities to earn more money putting up walls and engineers have. been jip in arms because a graduate
civil engineer is said to' have re-
I fused a professorship in order to I don overalls and work with lime and ! sand.
Is Harm to Nation "There are much better things in Wie world than money," said a prominent Washington, D. C minister, who refused to be quoted in criticism of a brother clrurchman. "Men do not seek the ministry for its material rewards. To desert a pulpit
because of greater financial reward in plastering or any other occupation, is to quit in the middle of the fight, which does more harm to the individual, the nation and the character than ten times the wages earned could pay for." Teachers Resign That many teachers in schools re

as given by the last enumeration was approximately 423,000.
NEW YORK, Sept. 3. All Salvation Army officers and workers in Japan are believed to have lost their lives in" the earthquake, according to a cable to the organization's headquarters here today. The Salvation Army training school and hospital were in the heart of Tokio and are said to have been completely wiped out.

throughout the day either confirmed or increased previous estimates of the havoc wrought in death and destruction by the quadruple catastrophe which has befallen the central eastern section of Hondo, largest of the islands of the Japanese empire. Beginning at noon Saturday with a series of earthquakes, which razed most of the city of Tokio and large sections of Yokohama and other cit
ies in the vicinity, the disaster -was continued by fires which broke out in
scores of places. Tidal waves fol
lowed, engulfing and. washing into the sea hundreds of buildings. A typhoon added a final and tragic touch to what probably is the greatest calamity in modern times. Casualty List Grows Topping all previous estimates of
death and ruin, Ujlro Oyama, Japanese consul-general in San Francisco, has just received from Shichitaro Yada, Japanese consul-general in Shanghai, a report that 160,000 persons were killed or injured, and 1,000,000 made homeless in the Tokio-Yokohama section.
Former " estimates from various sources had placed the casualties as high as 150,000 dead in Tokio alone, with 100,000 casualties in Yokohama. One of these came from the Japanese minister of marine by way of Osaka.
Other reports told of severe casualties both on land and sea. Wilderness of Debris A composite of reports depict Tokio and Yokohama as shattered wildernesses of mortar, bricks and stone, where once stood some of the stateliest structures of the empire. "Dead and dying are on every hand. Survivors who can grope their way about through the fire and smoke and rubbish are leaving the city for places of safety. Those who still live are threatened with starvation" and many ate trying to catch fish from ponds and lakes to tide them over until food arrives.
It is estimated that at least 100,000
tons of rice alone are needed to meet the emergency created by the food
shortage. The imperial palace, which was badly damaged by quake anc" fire, has been thrown open to needy and injured survivors. Bodies Litter Street What happened at Yokohama can be barely more than surmised. .But every report, though meager, confirms the worst of fears. While it
seems certain most of the foreign
residential section escaped, it is esti
mated i,4U0 buildings inthe city
were destroyed. The number of dead is countless. Ah officer of the steamer London Maru reported that bodies were scattered everywhere, on land and in the water, where many sought refuge in ships after the quake. How extensive the quake was can not be accurately stated. It is known it extended as far south as the Izu peninsula, on the eastern seaboard,
about 100 miles south of Tokio.
A message by cable from Kobe to the Associated Press said there was a bad shake in Toyama, a city of more than 60,000 population near the northwest coast of Japan, nearly 200 miles northwest of Tokio, and in Kobe, fully 350 miles southwest of Tokio. The vibration seems to have permeated the island transversely. In addition to the hundreds of large public and private buildings destroyed which include a large number of Japanese government buildings, Japanese and foreign na
val hospitals, arsenals, printing
plants and newspaper offrces, it was
learned through Osaka, that the Italian and French embassies in Tokio
were destroyed.
Nothing has been learned of the
fate of the American embassy and its
staff. Eight of Tokio's fifteen 'wards are known to be almost totally wiped, out, while the remainder are largely in ruins or burnt over, the total number of buildings destroyed, being placed at 200,000 for the city and
suburb.

(Following innumerable requests the following article, which appeared in the July 6 issue of The Fiery Cross, is being reprinted.) - With the sixth chapter of the Apocalypse, the main action of the book may be said properly to begin. It is
in this chapter that we first read of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. In Revelations 6:2 we read:
"And I saw, and behold a white horse, and he that sat thereon had a bow ; and there was given unto him a crown, and he came forth conquering and to conquer." The. color of the horse is white for throughout these visions that color Is always the symbol of heavenly purity. The. rider has a crown given him, a crown of royalty. He has in his hand a bow, the -instrument of war, 'by which he scatters
his enemies like stubble. Finally, lie coniee forth conquering and to conquer, for his victorious march knows no interruption and at last
leaves no foe unvanqnished. In the first rider we have thus the cause of Christ, in its essence. By the opening of the first seal, we learn that this cause is in the world, that this kingdom is in the midst of us and that they who oppose it shall be overwhelmed with defeat. The interpretation now given of the first rider, as one who rides forth to judgment on a sinful world, is confirmed by what is said of the three riders that follow him. In them, too,
we have judgment and judgment only, while the three judgments spoken of war, famine and death are precisely those with which the prophets in the Old Testament and
the Saviour, Himself, in the New Testament have familiarized our
thoughts.
The second horse is red, the color
or blood, for It is the horse of war,
Slaughter and destruction follows It
as its rider passes over the earth,
The third horse is black, the color
or gloom, mourning and lamentation
rne context shows that this Horseman represents the genius of famine.
The figure of the balance and of
measuring bread by weight ia on dif
ferent occasions emnloyde in the Old
Testament to express the idea of
lamine and scarcity.
The fourth horse is pale. It has
the livid color of a corpse, corre
sponding to its rider, whose name
Death, is in this case given. It must not be forgotten that the red, black and pale riders are antagonistic to
ana war against the white rider,
The question Is asked: Who is the white horseman? The answer to this question can be found in ,the 19th
In Revelations 19:11 we read:
"And I saw heaven opened and be-
J. J. HASSELD Choice Meats x Phone Webster 3164 2704 East Washington
hold a white horse; and he that sat thereon was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war." Revelations 19:12: "And his eyes are a flame of fire and upon his head are many diadems; and. he hath a name written
which no man knoweth but he, himself."
Revelations 19:13: "And he is arrayed in a garment dipped in blood and his name is called The Word of God." Revelations 19:14: "And the armies which are in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, -white and pure." Revelations 19:15: "And out of his mouth proceedeth a sharp sword, that he should smite
the nations."
Who, then, is the white horseman?
The white horseman is the Klansman
of today. How do we know this to be true? We know this to be true
because in the 19th chapter of Reve-J
lations he is perfectly described.
First, we read that he is. clothed
in white and that he! goes forth conquering and to conquer. The Klansman is clothed in white and is in the
fight to win. The white rider is
called Faithful and True and is said
to fight for righteousness and truth.
This is exactly what the Klansman is
doing in being faithful to. the tenets of the Christian religion and In defending the flag and the Bible.
The white rider is said to have
eyes or nre and' to nave a secret name which no man knoweth but he,
himself. Surely no one can doubt
but that this refers to the Klaus man, whose symbol is fire and whose
name and workings are in secret.
In Revelations 19:13 we read:
"And be is arrayed in a garment
dipped in blood and his name is
called 'The Word of God." "
The blood in this case refers to
the red which is found on the robe of the Klansman. The Word of God
referB to the truth for which the
white rider takes his stand.
In Revelations 19:14 there is a vivid
description of the Ku Klux Klan in
action and . on the warpath against
sin, ignorance, Romanism, etc. we read that the armies go forth clothed In fin a linon vriito anil mi r a
The sharp sword, which proceeds out of the mouth' of the white rider
is the symbol of war and victory,
The climax of the battle Is df scribed in the Apocalypse, where the white horseman, typical of the Klan, fights against the red beast of prophecy. The beast I typical of sin, ignorance, paganism and Romanism. Prophecy points to the year 1926 as the final and complete overthrow of Romanism and the devil.
