600 Chinese Killed
in Great Wind Storm
By Associated Press

GOO natives were killed by the typhoon
which struck Amoy without warning
at the end of last week. Eighty-flvc
per cent, of the water craft in the
harbors nearby was destroyed. No for
eigners have been reported lost.
Outlying districts cannot be com
municated with and it is feared great
damage has been done there.
One village on the Island of Amoy
reports that only sixteen out of 200
fishing boats were saved.

Defends Self at Trial
Petrograd, Sept. 19.—Witnesses in

the former Russian minister of war,
who is facing a charge of high trea
son, having concluded their evidence,
the general to-day was invited'to give
any explanation he might wish to
make. The former minister appeared
exhausted by the long judicial pro
ceedings. Speaking in a weak, tired
voice, he endeavored to prove the
necessity of dismantling Russian
fortresses for which he had given
orders. He declared that owing to the
conditions of modern warfare the
fortresses long had lost all their
strategic importance and would only
have been traps for the retreating
troops.

OUR READERS
New Universities Dictionary
Praised For Com
pleteness
The demand for the New Univer-
sities Dictionary being offered by this
paper continues unabated despite the
fact that great quantities have al
ready been distributed. Letters from
many readers express in highest
terms the general satisfaction which
this remarkable book has given.
The twenty-five supplementary
dictionaries giving the definition of
words properly used in connection
with commerce and law, war, golf,
aviation, baseball and other forms of
sports are esteemed with particular
favor by individuals whose interests
center on one or the other of these
specialized activities.
Another feature eliciting special
comment is the splendid way in
which the volume is illustrated with
color plates and duotones. Includ
ed In these Illustrations is an excel
lent photo of a submarine boat, that
uncanny type of craft which has
played such an important part in the
present war with Europe, undergo
ing a sea test. Types of some of the
most formidable 'battleships in the
English, German and United States
navies are also shown, and various
kinds of airships, which also have
figured so conspicuously in the mili
tary operations of the European
armies are strikingly pictured in
action.
