JAPAN'S TRAGEDY, OURS
The terrible earthquake in Japan on
Saturday, accompanied. ,by •a tidal'
wave and . followed .by fire, resulting
in the death of hundreds of thous-
ands of'people, has shocked the whole
world. Whole cities, which an hour
before .the disaster were busy arid
populous, are. in ruinsand the dead
are said to be choking, the rivers and
lying thick upon the streets.
Thousands of people are homeless
and without means of livelihood,
While: many are almost mad f
roar the
'horrors -of the situation.
Such a catastrophe, e.wo
would
arouse
the sympathies of Canada,fn any case
but owing to the 'fact that so many
Canadians are resident in Japan,
many of then in the affected area,
.people here .are almost as anxious.as
if the disaster was in our own coun-
try. The Canadian Churches, An-
glican Methodist , and Baptist, all'
have strong missions in Japan, also

are thought to have suffered greatly

way between here and .Goderich. The
new minister is lookinginto the mat-
ter of highways very carefully and
while it is his ` intention to go on
with the good roads scheme „he ,con-
templates cutting down expenditure
consid'erahly, . For 'instance, the
roads will keep within the sixty-six
foot width on all level stretches, only
being -`widened where necessary, and
the actual gravelled road, on ,such
roads as the Huron, will be twenty-
two to twenty-four feet .instead', of
thirty, as was the rule under the
Biggs .regime. It is _considered; by
the new minister that this will answer
the needs of this province for a good
anany years to come and it will cut
down expenditure greatly,. -which is
very necessary. Instructions _ have
been given that the road gang is to
be greatly 'increased on the road be-
tween Goderich and Holmesville and
the gravel is to be placed on the road
as quickly as possible after grading
