are greatly alarmed over the reports of
earthquakes which continue to come in, each
day bringinging the particulars Of additional
horrors and the reports of continued shocks.
From the shaken district appeals come in for
help. The inhabitants are terror-stricken,
and business is entirely suspended.
In consequence there is q shortage Of pro-
visions, and the people are suffering for food
and shelter. The work of searching tho
ruins for the dead still continues, but pro-
crosses slowly, as but few are found who
are courageous enough to risk their lives
among the tottering and wrecked buildings
This WORK, therefore, necessarily falls to the
soldiers.
