Press Dispatches Give In- complete Picture of What Nation Is Facing. BY ROBERT SMALL, Special Dispatch to The Star. ‘W YORK, September 4.—The great Japanese colony in New York by the blow which has fallen upon fts kingdom in the east. Striving in vain for direct communication with rela- tives, friends and mercantilo connec- tions, they could only conjure up from the spasmodic press dispatches the plc- ture of what has happened Prominent Ja correspondent talked today see in the disaster far more than any mere state- ment of property damage or figures as to loss of life can conve; i They see the entire kingdom literall shaken to its foundation and the Japi. nese people facing the greatest test of their history. The modern life of the empire practically centered in Toklo and Yokohama, which apparently have been wiped from the face of the earth. Are Stolcal People. The Japan a stoical, istic. plodding sort of people. Their lasticity has never been subjected to such a strain as has now befallen them, and the representatives of the country in New York feel that much of Japan's position in the world of the future will depend upoi how (lll((“f}}' and how well she “comes back” from a stroke of fll fortune greater than that ever directed at a fatal- The destruction of Toklo, Yokohar and the surrounding towns and vil- lages has thrown the ‘entire k Of that there can be no doubt: great channels commerce have been destroyed, a loss which cannot be estimated as easily s the damage in mere b; E stone and steel. ey Shocked as they are by the unim- aginable reports of loss of life, with pictures of the dead in great heaps in the open spaces and market squares, local Japane: re pondering the greater fate of their nation. The wiy back to anything like normal active v, they realize, is long and tedious. Japan has mnot’ been any too pros- perous in the years that have follow- ed the war. She wi not prepared for the suddenness of the world conflict Her business program envisaged longer struggle. The process of after- war reconstruction has been com- paratively slow She now faces a struggle “which would try the heart and courage of the bravest and most csourceful people. The Japanese of New York are confident their land will come out of the catastrophe with the ereatest possible credit to them- sel They will also come out of it with the outpouring sympathy of a world which, perhaps, had looked just a Iittle “askance at the military and naval ambition of this leader of the oriental nations. - The world has been perhaps, just a little disturbed also by the Japanese program in China. Japan, overcrowded at home, s looking for an outlet for the ac- tivities of her people. Today she faces a task at home which will stretch out over the years—the rebuild- ing of her capital and her chief com- mercial eity For all ‘the modern activities of two great cities suddenly to be en- gulfed in destruction is beyond the comprehension of most of the Japanese who attempted to discuss the situa- tion today. The Japanese are not imaginative. They do know, how- ever, how Japan has worked and as- pired through the last sixty or sev- enty years to make herself modern and powerful among the nations of the world. Now the great centers of her modernity have been trans- formed into a vast and desolate waste, Some of the Japanese now in New York stood among the ruins of San Francisco, after her great fire In 1906. _ Others there were who recalled the Baltimore fire of twenty years ago. The picture of the vaster de- struction in Yokohama and Tokio is one, however. at which they shook their heads in a refusal to believe or_comprehend. Not only has Japan been turned into a vast house of mourning, but the shock to the commercial life of the nation is as difficult to compre- hend as the picture of the actual physical destruction. Great concern was felt in the Japa- nese colony here today as to the fate of the empire banks. As the earthquake came upon the city at a time when the banks probably were in full operation, it is doubtful if there was opportunity in many cases to close vaults and safeguard finan- cial papers. The financial chaos will undoubtedly be one of the most diffi- cult to straighten out. Misslonary headquarters in New York was vastly concerned over the fate of their representatives in Japan. They could only hope that no news might be good news. MARINE MARCHERS MAKING UP TIME Special Dispatch to The Star. RAPIDAN, Va., September 4.—March- ing briskly for fifteen and one-half miles yesterday, the Marine Corps Ex- peditionary Force reached here last night, making up a day’s time lost in the battle with the mud last week and placing them on original schedule, The day’s march was covered with scarcely a halt in less than five hours, at a rate of a trifle more than three mniles per hour. The main body of the force was rejoined by the artillery section to- day at Orange. The.artillery unit, consisting of about 1,000 artillery- men, the chemical warfare detach- ment and the aviation section, had separated from the main body several days azo In order to travel over bet- ter roads. The artillery covered ninety miles in _three day Gen. Butler yesterday resorted to the radio telephone field equipment in order to get into communication with his wife at Quantico. He wasted sev- eral hours endeavoring to reach Quantico by regular telephone meth- ods, without success. - Capt. B. E.

Approximately 3,000 people in Cul- peper saw the marines off yesterday morning. The men are in good spir- its, having received their pay on Sun- day afternoon. Throughout the march there was singing and cheering. When the force marched into. Rapidan it was welcomed by Mayor Sherrill and a committee of citizens.

BY DAVID LAWRENCE. The throb of .human sympathy, dulled in the years since the war by self-interest, beat fast for the people of distant Japan today. The entire government strove to help. Distance and inadequate communication made its efforts of little avail, From every side have come mes- ages of sympathy and condolence to the imperial Japanese embassy, where the tragedy of far-off Japan can be to some extent conjectured. For not one momber of the embassy staff, has heard a word from his family since the earthquake. Quietly and with characteristic stoicism, the Japanese officials go about their work hiding their emotions. There is no outward chunge of expression, no panicky hurry in the embassy's work, simp} a methodical application to the count- less details suddenly imposcd on the embassy staff. Judging by the wards ard districts mentioned in the press dispatches, Japanese officials estimate that be- tween seven and eight millions of people are directly affected by the arthquake and fire and that almost the entire population of the island emplire will feel the busin hock What can Ame: do?

Meanwhile the anxie over what is transpiring fhday intense. Japan has just been in the throes of an economic depression, which has for three years kept Japanese industry in a state of uncertainty. The bottom of | ithe depression had been reached. The depression was similar to that expe- | rienced by the United States, except that_the Japanese recovery has been {much slower. | Rellet Loan FPossible. When, therefore, the wants of the living have been attended to and the | population is cared for there will be an | even greater crisis. Banks in Japan | are bound to be ruined unless the gov- ernment helps. The possibility of huge rellef loan to be floated by Japanese government in Americ talked of, but until xome definite word | is received from the Tokio government as to the extent of the damage nothirn definite along that line can even be esti- | mated. Something governmental will, have to be done in Japan to private business. As for a loan, credit of the apanese government abroad is excellent, and she would | have no difficulty in raising virtually any sum, as her national wealth is ex- ! tensive. Though officials of the American government do not e to comment | on it, they are aware that a blow at | {Japanese-American trade ha been struck by the hand of fate and that the purchasing power of the Japanese people will be affected by the disaster. Word that all members of the Amer- ican emba staff were safe was communicated by the Department of State to the Japanese embussy, where relief was expressed at their good | fortune. The Japanese emba ex- pects the government wireless sta- tions not far from Tokio to be work- ing before another twenty-four hours have elapsed and that a courfer or telegraph system will be established by the government, so that the entire ! world may be apprised of Japan's needs and the extent of her loss. It takes an earthquake or a dlsaster somehow to demonstrate how close together the people of the world ireally are. There isn't a thought here today except of suffering people, no a thought of color or race distinction or erstwhile rivalries—all are united in_extending to Japan the hand of help. On demonstrations such as these are bullt, after all, the most enduring friendships. (Copyright, 1923.) ALEXANDRIA. ALEXANDRIA, Va., September 4 (Special).—Theodore Rogers, a farmer who lives at New Alexandria, Fairfax founty, was struck and badly injured by an automobile, while on the Camp Humphreys road near Woodlawn, last night.
