Awful loss of Life by Earthquake In

Greatest Among Those Gathered In
Churches for worship-Tbe King OIL the
Ground.
ATHENS, April 23.-Many reports
from the towns which have suffered
from the earthquakes of the last few
days were received yesterday evening.
The loss of life and property
is much greater than was at
first supposed. In the Locris
district, 128 persons are knowu
to have heen killed by falling
walls and many others are missing.
A parish church in rroslsino collapsed
during vespers and thirty men and
women were killed outright. while
several who were dug out alive from
the ruins are likely to die. Ninety
persons were buried in the ruins in
Malesina and sixty of them were killed.
The others may recover
In many towns whole households
have disappeared without leaving an
inl<ling of their fate. In MartinO
thirty-nine persons were killed by fall
ing timbers. Most of them died within
the walls of church whose roof fell in
during service.
Although there has been small loss
of human life in Athens and its en-
virOns, the damage to property has
been enormous. The buildings in
which the Austrian Lloyd and Floroo
Rubattino companies had their offices,
were wrecked completely. The roof
collapsed. the floors broke, and the
walls are rent. Hardly whole piece
of furniture was left in either build
ing.
For years the work of restoring the
famous byzantine church at Daphne
has been in progress. The dome and
walls had been repaired, but yesterday
they were cracked and crumbled and
the beautiful mosaics were disfgured
beyond hope of restoration.
Appeals for help come in hourly.
But little can be done toward allaying
the prevailing distress, and there are no
charity organizations of Importance
here. In dozens of towns the houses
have been deserted; the inhab-
itants are camping unsheltered and
almost unfed in the fields and cannot
be persuaded to return to their homes.
The king, accompanied by the minis
ter of the interior, has begun visiting
the districts which have suffered most
