FEAR TOTAL DESTRUCTION Prediction That Mexico City is to be Razed by Quake Tomorrow Driving Many Natives Into Panic, By The Assoclated Press. Mexico City, Jan. 10.—(By Radio— via the I'ort Worth Star Telegram)— The revolution has been crowded frem the public mind and the front pages of newspapers here in the last few days by the prophecy of a British prognosticator that Mexico City would be destroyed by an earthquake and veolcanic eruption tomorrow. As a re- sult of the prophecy fear has gripped the minds of the ignorant, supersti- tious classes and for the last few days they have been crowding the churches Many are preparing to leave on| short notice for the suburbs to es- cape falling buildings. The fear-stricken people have taken as an ill omen the fact that the vol- eano DPopocatepetl, overlooking the city, has been emitting smoke in the! early mornings of the last few days. | Cabled reports of events of the out- | side world are being cited by believers of the prophecy. They point to front page displays of the extreme cold in the United States, storms off the Brit- ' ish coast, floods in France, avalanches in the Alps, and recent earthquake disturbances in the States of Sonora and Chihuahua as prool for their he- lief.

WRITE'A WANT ADI ia | By dunction Decline of Yen Likely To Affect Japan’s Policy The Assoclated Press. Tokio, Jan. 11,—The decline of the exchange rate of the yen is is re- garded here as likely to force the government’s hand in the matter of a foreign loan. It is thought that only a large dollar loan for the pur- chase of . reconstriction materials can check the “fall of the yen. financiers here believe a loan of a quarter of a blllion yen ($125,000,- 000) will be floated in New York and London in the early spring. The s decline is attributed to the un- favorable trade balance, which offi- cial figures just published show to have totaled 600,000,000 yen ($300,- 000,000) last year, to the heavy de- mand for dollars to pay for recon- struction materials purchased in America, and to the refusal of the government to employ its specie holdings abroad to retard the yen's downward tendency.
