Many Meet Death In Auto Accidents * Thirty-three fatalities in September brought to 199 the number of deaths resulting from automobile accidents on South Carolina highways since the first of the year, a report issued yesterday from the state highway department shows. September's total wasv an increase of eight over the total of September last year. At the end of September, 1933, total fatalities b^d reached only 150. Thirteen of those unfortunates who met death on the highways were pedestrians, this t>eing an increase of more than 50 per cent, over September, 1933, when only six were killed in this manner. The statement shows that of the total of 162 accidents on the highways during the month, about onetliird, 57, resulted from reckless driving, while 26 came about through careless driving. Speeding caused two of the wrecks and recklessness' due to liquor 23. All told, 153 persons were injured in accidents during the month, 25 of them seriously. This brought to 1,012 the number of persons injured since January 1. The report shows that 85 of the total number of accidents were collisions between motor vehicles, that 36 were non-collision accidents, such as when a car overturns in rounding a corner, that eight were accidents between motor vehicles and other vehicles, and that 18 were collisions between pedestrians and motor vehicles.

PredicteWorld" War Will Start In Summer New York, Oct. 13.?A new world war will be started by next summer, it is asserted by Johannes Steel, German publicist, many of whose predictions of international developments in recent months have tf&roved "steel", a tall,-blond man of leas | than 30, is said to be an ex-diplomat. He attracted wide attention because of his accurate forecasts published in the New York Evening Post. Today, in a book called "The Second World War," he asserts with confidence that'"another big war will be raging next summer. i Germany and Japan, he believe , are the two countries which want i war, and they cannot afford1 ra!j| longer than the summer of lW jl_ they expect to win." ^ "Japan must invade (Soviet territory," steel writes, "in order to safeguard her economic hegemony in the Far East. "Her only hope to do so successfully is in the beginning of 1935, first, because the attention of the whole world will at that time ^ focused on the Saar, Austria and Hitter, and Japanese aggression will be obscured by the magnitude of the events l Europe; second, because the Japanese general staff guarantees a victory at that time, since it believes that Soviet Russia will not be ready for year or two to defend her Eastern borders successfully. "The German invasion of the baa will take place iA January, 1935 Germany cannot pay for the baa mines, as she is supposed to do under the provisions of the treaty of V sallies, and France will insist upon Pa^ThetFrench general staff is convinced that France can beat Germany militarily if the fight begins before 1986. While the French systenri of alliances will hold good until 1935, the Little Entente will have breken up into its component fragments by 1936. France can win a war only 'with th? help of the Little Entente. No responsible French statesman dares jeopardize the future of France by missing the one and only opportunity to re-establish French heg mony in Europe--namely, a welltimed war."
