Hurricane kills 75 in Miami, devastating $100,000,000 in property
U.S. World Court reservations win powers’ approval
Prompt approval of Mount Vernon Boulevard is seen
With ordinary communications cut, the paper builds its account of Miami’s devastation from delayed travelers and makeshift radio messages; the casualty and property figures remain early reports. Elsewhere it describes conditional acceptance of American World Court reservations and an anticipated appropriation for a road to Mount Vernon. The selected passages distinguish urgent reports, committee action and projected legislation, each with a different degree of certainty.
Small foreign community trapped with Wuchang’s population
Miami’s losses arrive in Montgomery as fragments relayed through Mobile and a ship linked to Hialeah. Alongside this emergency, the cotton association argues that rushed sales are depressing prices and urges farmers, bankers and merchants to act together. A Shanghai dispatch describes civilians and foreign residents facing hunger inside besieged Wuchang. Each selection identifies who supplies the information, preserving the distinction between a received message, an interested association’s calculation and a military forecast.
French papers welcome the Briand–Stresemann discussion while warning that negotiations will take time. Loucheur may visit Berlin in October; another report says Polish and Yugoslav delegates signed two treaties, with ratification still to precede their registration.
Negotiations for an international steel agreement fail
The page’s selected arguments connect peace, production and economic bargaining. Mallet explains a possible Franco-German rapprochement through French exhaustion, while a political column supports using the exceptions contemplated by the eight-hour law. Yet the steel report records a failed conference and further Belgian consultations, showing that expectations of cooperation had not produced an industrial agreement. The translations keep editorial advocacy separate from the reported state of negotiations.
Salten describes the Lueger monument as the work of the politician’s surviving party and associates, praising his gifts while denying him greatness and a broad horizon. A second, literary portrait opens with Thorwaldsen’s childhood and admission to an art school.
General strike to be called if the eight-hour law is changed
My talks with Mr Stresemann
A polemic against Governor Viollette turns travel and personal allowances into an argument about the cost of colonial administration. A miners’ congress threatens action over the eight-hour law while making aid to British strikers conditional on wider participation. Briand, meanwhile, speaks of peace but reserves the details of his German talks for his colleagues. The reading keeps the paper’s hostile budget claims, a union resolution and a minister’s statement attributed to their different speakers.
The paper argues that the League Assembly still has substantial work despite statesmen leaving Geneva. It also introduces public impatience with administrative reform and reports the Italian–Romanian pact as part of Italy’s agreements with the Little Entente.
Politika criticises Krajač’s economic programme as insufficient despite thirty-one points and weeks of work. Alongside it, a Kajmakčalan remembrance describes graves and wounded men, while a cartoon uses an imagined Italian–French quarrel to satirise their supposed brotherhood.
The selected reports move from a colonial military complaint to guarded diplomacy and an economic programme. In Morocco, the writer forecasts another winter burden on French-aligned forces because Spanish troops are said not to counterbalance resistance across the frontier. Briand conditions another German meeting on governmental approval. At Strasbourg, Bokanowski links regional reform, transport and port investment to greater production. The reading preserves these as a forecast, a stated condition and a ministerial ambition.

CRÍTICA reaches everywhere—even María Poey’s bedside
CRÍTICA could print 500,000 copies if it had its Hoe presses
Crítica foregrounds its bedside interview with María Poey de Canelo, whose selected recollection describes the evening and a proposed visit to her mother. A separate notice blames limited presses and train schedules for distribution shortages and prints circulation figures with a ten-copy arithmetic discrepancy.
Il Piccolo expects Franco-German discussions to move from Geneva to the capitals and reports rumours of another meeting. It reproduces an official Franco-Italian communiqué after the assassination attempt, while explicitly treating a Mussolini–Chamberlain meeting as unconfirmed.
