Year’s Disasters Highlight Fatal Toll This Year
A Chicago Tribune tally cited by the Literary Digest lists nearly 100000 lives lost to disasters in five months. It notes major events from Covington water spout to Coal Creek mine blast, Scinde cyclone, Goliad cyclone, and broader natural and human-caused losses, urging caution in public memory and prophecies of ruin. It also comments on British general De Wits advice to returning troops and a campus scandal over exam leaks at a university.
