Winter Brings
Death To Great
Area In Orient
SHANGHAI, Jan. 13 iff) Winter,
In this pnrt of tho world the har
Dinger of death nnd intense Buffer-
t ing, yesterday gripped virtually all of
North China, Manchuria, Siberia,
Korea and Japan, paralyzed com
munications, crippled railroads and
took an undetermined toll of human
life and property.
China, from the Yangtse river north
i ward and from the sea westward, lay
: under a mantle of ice and enow,
while frigid blasts from the north
added to tho depth of the white
blanket with a mixture of snow and
eand from the barren steppes of
Mongolia.-
It wa feared thousands have per
lshed from the intenuo cold tn North
ern China alone, dispatches describ
ing the finding of scores of frozen
bodies in tho streets of large cities,
but the number of dead probably
never will be known, Even now tho
fate of Western Chlnu, much of
which was Isolated owing to disrupt
ed communications, 1b uncertain.
Many cltios of North Central and
; Northeastern China reported balow
zero weather and at Harbin, Mnn
churla, the thermometer registered 37
degrees centigrade, below sscro.
Tho local weather office described
the cold wnvo aa the most severe in
China nino3 1803. Forecasts Indicat
ed moderating temperatures in the
vicinity of Shanghai at least today.
'Most of 'the huge population of
China Is poorly equipped to with
stand the rinora of an unusually cold
winter. This year a deceptive warm
spell immediately preceding the pres
ent cold wave put North China off
Its guard. Hence tho sub-zero weather
caused unusual suffering.
The storm caused Emperor Hirohllo
of Japan, nn enthusiastic biologist, to
abandon a sen week colcting expe
dition off Hayama.

In tho breasts of hundredH of Mex

desperate feor of a natural cataclysm
which will wink their island homo
Into tho soa and drown them all.
For threo days tho Islands havo j
been shaken by some powerful sub- j
terranean forco which has cracked 1
buildings, opened crevasses in tho 1

from the pecan. Twcnty-yeven such
quakes occurred In ono period of
three hours. Islet cones near the
water's edge have s m o K o d and
emitted rumblliiK noises.
Some believe, It Is said, that a
supernatural vengeance is about to i

In retaliation for the imprisonment i
of Madro Concepclon, who is serving I
20 years as "moral author" of tho as- !

There Is general fear that a volcano ;
will open directly under tho prison- .
era feet, or that ono of the nearby
small cones will emit n flood of lava
which wilt engulf them: that con- i
tinulng quakes will reduce the build- ;
ings, or that an immense seismic
