World's Disasters.

FLOOD REFUGEES FED
Hurricanes and Tornadoes Take
Greatest Toll of Human Life
in Last Fiscal Tear.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 14.
Seventy-two disasters in which 674
persons were reported killed and
521 injured, called for emergency
relief measures and the expendi
ture of more than tl,441,0O0 by tie
American Red Cross during the
fiscal year ended June 30. Accord
Ins; to a statement based upon the
forthcoming; annual report of the
Red Cross, these disasters caused
property damage estimated at more
than $80,000,000 and rendered more
than 145,000 persons homeless or
otherwise in need of assistance. In
on section alone, the report states,
on the Louisiana-Mississippi bor
der, the Red Cross fed daily for
weeks more than 85,000 flood re
fugees. (
The greatest toll of life was
taken by hurricane and tornado,
while the overflowing: of rivers, the
breaking of dams and torrential
rats storms drove the greatest num
ber of people from their homes.
Fire also played an important part
in the chain of disasters which
made Insistent demands for Red
Cross relief workers.
Year's Disasters Reported.
The year's disasters reported in
cluded 2 floods, 19 tornadoes or
storm a, 15 fires, four epidemics, two
theater oollapses, two shipwrecks,
one of whloh was the wreck of the
United States airship Roma, a bridge
collapse, mine explosion, railway
collision and a drouth.
Of the floods, that at San Antonio,
Tex, caused the greatest property
loss. J6J)00,000, and the heaviest
' fatalities, 100. Among the unusual
disasters was that reported from
China, where, last May, the Amer
ican Red Cross chapter at Pekin
went to the relief of non-combatants
wounded during the fighting at
Chang Hsin Tien.
"Most of them," the report dryly
added, "were hit by bits of flying
pottery shot up by the contending
forces.'
In Red Cross disaster records
there will probably remain as a
chapter by itself the details of one
calamity which touched nearly every
state with a sense of horror. This
was the collapse of the roof of the
Knickerbocker theater in "Washing
ton, D. C, which resulted in almost
100 deaths and 125 persons injured.
Located in the section of the na
tional capital containing fine homes
and great apartment houses, this
motion picture theater was patron
ized by many persons of prominence
in the official and civil life of the
city, persons whine connections
radiated over the entire country.
The horror was intensified by a
blizzard, which, though it retarded,
did not block the Red Cross relief
efforts.
Dirigible Disaster Recalled.
The crash and destfuction by fire
of the United States army dirigible
Roma in Virginia last February,
with the loss of a score of officers
and enlisted men, was the first dis
aster of its kind in this country
to call for Red Cross relief. The
suddenness of the accident tested
the readiness of the organization
and of the chapter at Hampton, Vs..
but the response was immediate.
Not only was relief furnished the
survivors, according to the report,
but funds were provided to bring
relatives of the dead to the scene
from Ions distances.
In the year's record of aid ren
dered overseas by the American
Red Cross are two fires in the
Philippine islands, one in Manila
which destroyed 1000 homes with
a loss of f1300,000 and 5000 persons
rendered homeless, the other at
Tonio Whioh drove 3000 from their
homes. In medical relief that was
quick and effective the smallpox
epidemic at San Domingo, with a
total of 12,000 cases and 225 deaths
in a single day, tried the resources
and preparedness of the Red Cross
fox action in epidemics.
Relief measures Perfected.
A hurricane in San Domingo and
a flood in San Salvador also tried
the Red Cross resources, but refu
gees were effectually cared for and
muoh dire distress relieved.
The year has seen the further per
fection of disaster relief adminis
trative measures in every field, it
was reported, and that the work
may be carried on to still greater
accomplishments the American Red
Cross is appealing for a world-wide
renewal of membership during the
annual rollcall. which is to be con
ducted between Armistice day, No
vember 11, and Thanksgiving day,
November 30.
The geographical distribution" of
the disasters in which relief was
quickly afforded by the Red Cross
shows the widespread oharacter of
the relief measures vailable.
Sugar Refining company," that the
price of augar must drop was fol
lowed this morning by another ad
vance of 15 cents a hundred pounds
in,a-ll sections of the country. This
new price, effective today, made the
wholesale rate on th coast $7.65
a hundred at practically every place
Except Astoria.
Locally the wholesalers main
tained the old. price of S7-25 for to
day but on Monday it will be
boosted to $7.40, which win, be IS
oonta below the price prevailing
elsewhere. The reason for this is
that the Astoria wholesalers had
purchased large stocks and are giving-
the trade the benefit of that
condition. The new wholesale price
as fixed by the refiners is $7.80 a
hundred and their price to whole
salers at the refineries is higher
than the local wholesalers are
asking.

The declaration by. Claua A,
Fame of Portland Couple Among
Seafarers for Hospitality Is
Key to CordialWelcome.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Foulkes and
their daughter. Miss Lucy Foulkes,
returned yesterday from a four
months' trip to Great Britain, the
crreater Dart sDent in Wales. Mr.
Foulkes wae born in Denbig, which
also was the birthplace of Henry
M. Stanley, and Mrs. Foulkes is
native of Bangor, and the weeks
were one continuous round of wei
come in both places.
They went east by the Canadian
Pacific and Mr. Foulkes lines to tell
of that trip. For companions they
had numbers of red-tezzed visitors
returning and every 50 or so miles
some one learned he was from Port
land and asked, "Say, do you know
George Baker?" His repeated replies
would elect the mayor to anything
short of president.
Fifty years ago Mr. ana Mrs.
Foulkes and the baby left Wales and
came straight through to Oregon by
way of San Francisco, settling in
Polk county, where Mr. Foulkes
worked on the weekly papers of that
day. Thirty-five years ago they
moved to Portland and he has been
employed on The Oregonian since.
They have resided all that time at
821 Front street and that residence
has become noted. Every Welsh boy
begins his career on board ship,
whether he follows the sea in later
life or not. In the early days of
Portland's foreign commerce every
three-master almost without excep
tion had a Captain Jones or a Cap
tain Lewis or other master with
Welsh nomenclature. Naturally the
crews were home-born. The Foulkes
home in Front street became the
social rendezvous of all alike and
the trips homeward carried lively
recollections of Robert Foulkes- and
his family. Therefore, when the
Portland man arrived in Wales this
trip and his presence became known
through the little kingdom their re
ception was royal. Most of the men
he knew as boys were gone, but they
had sons who knew of him. They
did their best and he comes back
pounds heavier.'
Crossing, Mr. Foulkes says, the
sea was like a mirror, but return
ing the leviathan of the seas ran
into a storm that showed him waves
mountain high" and gave him his
first touch-of seasickness. Airs, and
Miss Foulkes were better sailors, he
says.
This was the second trip back for
the older folk; about 22 years ago a
longing took them over. Asked if
he was going again, Mr. Foulkes
said, "Jes. In 20 years they'll have
airsmpa through from Portland!" r
CASH BAIL IS INVALID
Vancouver Court Rules Sheriff
Has No Right to Take Money.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Oct. 14.
(Special) The sheriff of any county
in this state cannot legally accept
cash in lieu of a bait bond, though
he turn the money over to the
county clerk. This was learned to
day when Judge Simpsen of the su
perior court gave a memorandum
decision in the case of the state
against R E. Oore, who disappeared.
Motion was made that the cash bail
be forfeited.
Attorneys for L. A. Miller, who
put up the $500 to release Gore one
Saturday night, protested that the
sheriff, or his agents, have no 'le
gal right to accept cash for bail,
though he may accept a bail bond.
Though the prisoner has fled
and the state had the $500 as ball
for him, this amount will be re-1
turned to Miller. v

Report that Judge- Belt in the

missed the case of the Pacific Co
operative Poultry Producers versus
J. .A, Hanson is said -by officers of
the poultrymen's organization to
have been incorrect. According to
their statement the judge, ruling
on Hanson's demurrer, held that the
contract of the association with Han

that the plaintiff concern might not
collect damages, attorneys' fees and

Brownsville May Get Cannery.
BROWNSVILLE. Or.,- Oct, .14.
(Special.) If fruit growers in the
Calapooia valley will co-operate
with President Holt of the Eugene
Fruit Growers' association, it is
probable that Brownsville will have
a new cannery before the next, fruit
season rolls around. There has been
no cannery here since the burning
of the Graves company's plant two
years affo.
EAT
BY ANDRE TARDIEU.
Former French High Commissioner to
the United Plates.
(Copyright, 1922, by The Oregonian.)
PARIS. Oct. 14. (Special Cable.)
After another brief scare due to
Lord Curzon's sudden visit to Paris,
the Mudania agreement Is signed
and delivered. It marks another
great concession by the powers f
the Turks. Whereas the agreement
of September 23 provided only that
Thrace would be delivered to Kemal
and his forces following signing of
a formal peace, the armistice agree
ment allow him within a fortnight
to install a government, and, what
is worse, gendarmerie.
It takes a clever mind to distln
guish between the Turkish gen
darme and a Turkish soldier. Both
are masters at the art of torturing
Christians.
Apparently the return of the Turk
arouses no emotion in either Eng
land of France. In France the semi
official press has succeeded in per
suading the people that we were
within an inch of war, consequently
there is rejoicing that it has been
averted, although, 'truth to tell, it
never wa imminent. Moreover the
opposition developing in London
against Lloyd George strengthens
the Paris legend that Poincare ob
tained a great triumph over his Brit
ish colleague, which is ridiculous
since the French policy has finished
by placing the Dardanelles exclu
sively under British control.
Christians Are Forsotten.
It is astonishingly paradoxical
that French opinion is gleeful over
the return of the Turk to Europe.
That, Joy- will not last. In England
Lloyd George's undoubted blunder
ing has made the near eastern ques
tion a battleground of parties en
abling a coalition of the opponents
of the premier. The latter deemed
the situation serious enough to
break the long silence with his Man
chester speech f.nd other party lead
ers are taking the platform to de
bate the merits of the- case.
The Christians in Thrace, even at
the Straits, are forgotten in the
party fracas. It is not the first time
in England and elsewhere that party
strife takes priority over national
interest. It is impossible to over
estimate the extreme gravity of the
events now unfolding. Not alone is
victory oanceled on one of the war's
greatest battlefields after only four
years, not only is it wonderful en
couragement for the Pan-Germans
and the Pan-Slavs who dream of
revenge, but according to the latest
agreements we now have the same
territorial situation which provoked
all Balkan wars whose effect on Eu
ropean policy is only too well
known.
War Held Inevitable.
When the Turks and Christians
clash in Macedonia war is inevitable
and it is curious that the French pa
pers Ignore this truth taught by
long experience. Added to this is
the Russian danger, for the Soviets,
like the Kemalists and Germans,
have territory to reconquer to efface
the peace which they never have
recognized. The Paris and Mudania
agreements have prepared some far
tomorrows for us.
American public opinion seems to
see further than the French and
British. American newspapers are
disturbed by the reflux of Turkish
barbarism and they are right, but to
be perfectly frank I must say -the
United States is largely responsible
for the existing conditions. If the
United States had not quit the game
so abruptly in 1920 and had ac
cepted the proposed Armenian man
date it could have exercised a happy
influence in the Levant, restrained
the absurd meglomanla of the
Greek encouraged by the English
and curbed France's pro-Kemallst
zeal. For its own reasons the
United States preferred to withdraw
from eastern as well as from west
ern European- affairs and the result
is deplorable in both places. Thus
the perfectly Just criticism of the
American press loses some of its
force.
In general it is going to be rather
difficult fey America to convince
Europe of her viewpoint after de
claring she desires to have nothing
more in common with Europe. Ab
stention is not a method of action.
Action entails . risks and whoever
refuses risks cannot expect to in
fluence solutions. With this reser
vation I heartily agree with the
American press that Europe Is com
mitting gross stupidities in the near
eat.
