By the Assocfated Press. AMOY, China, August 6.—Southern Fukien Province today was struck by a second typhoon, which ripped inland from the sea, devastating a huge area. Coming close behind yesterday's hurricane, the new storm caused of- ficials to fear a terrific loss of life. The typhoon was regarded as the worst in a quarter of a century. The brunt of today's storm appeared to hit the coast 60 miles south of here, smashing inland over the heavily pop- ulated area. All communications were destroyed, | thereby shrouding the details of the | death and destruction believed to have ocgurred. The heavy winds on the fringe of | the typhoon struck Amoy and wrecked fishing fleets close by. Fragmentary dispatches from Chu- anchow stated yesterday's disaster there was the worst in the history of that area, eclipsing the great storm of 1905 when typhonic winds and rains | similar to that of yesterday laid the whole area waste present. | t Features of Legislation. | We have furnished repeated proofs of our 5 . | attachment to peace, but that attachment will * The &YOPW““;:KF‘&‘:[‘:{;?““’ Lo not lead us to sacrifice the territorial integrity race these genera i | of our country 1 Set up a board, “h‘lfdh ‘:l“’)‘:‘“:“:;‘if: i The occupation of Walwal by an Italian garrison was not known to our | power to enforce oil pre ‘t’:' d help | mperial government until the arrival at that place of an Anglo-Ethiopian but would assemble facts an D | The British members of that commission themselves certainly c : commission. supervise a voluntary State compact | {ICE S occupation, for we cannot believe the British government control system. | safety regulations be left mostly to | i Yimit | desires to precipitate matters. i Give the President authority to imit | *ppye Brytin members of the commission protested to the Italian rep- | the Commerce Department. fmports. ; resentative at Walwal against the obstacle he was placing in the way of | Tendering her resignation person- Empower the board to 8dminister |4 .. icylation in E:hicpian territory.

LONDON, August 6 (#) —The Ethi- opian legation today held in reserve a large list of applications by British for service with the Ethiopian army in event'of the African empire’s warring with Italy. Ethiopian authorities said tie British government had asked the Ethiopian legation to refuse to accept volunteers, but an official British source denied there was any ban on the enlistment of British citizens in either the Ethi- opian or Italian armies. It was stated the British foreign en- listment law provides the government can prevent the enlistment of its citi- zens in foreign armies only when a war is actually being fought. Since there is now no war, British are free to enlist in whatever army they choose. SELASSIE FORMS RED CROSS. Campaign for Members Launched in War Preparations. ADDIS ABABA, August 6 (A.— Emperor Haile Selassie directed per- sonally today a new phase of Ethi- opia’s preparations for possible war with Italy—the ceremonial launching of the empire’s Red Cross. An imperial tent, lavishly decorated in Oriental style, was erected in the court of the building especially leased as the new Red Cross home. A dais was built for the King of Kings. The first meeting was called today ND | to press th campaign for Red Cross subscriptions, elect a board of directors and complete organization of the body. Foreign Minister Bellaten Gueta Herouy was named president by the Emperor. From the humanitarian viewpoint, Ethiopia’s adherence to the Red Cross was understood to mean that there would be no repetition of the sequel to the crushing of an Italian expedi- tion at Adua 40 years ago, when many Italian prisoners allegedly were mu- tilated.
