ROME December 3O.-Half the popu-
lation of Calabria and the eastern part of
Sicily are dead; the other half is weeping.
AS the great extent of the terrific earth
quake becomes apparent it seems impossi-
bic to exaggerate the horrors which have
followed them. The calamity which has
overwhelmed Italy is almost beyond the
grasp of the Imagination. not only be-
cause of the dead, now known to num-

Impossible 10 rescue them from the
wrecks OF their former homes The

the people are literally demented with the
suddenness and extent of the blow. The
total number of victims is variously csti-
mated from 5000 to 10000.

out, with the number OF dead i'm that
district alone exceeding 3o,Go. The few
survivors are mad with terror and have
fed to the forest-clad mountain slopes
where they are suhsisting on roots and

Sir Chen liang Cheng former am
bassador from the celestial kingdom to
Washington, was one OF the hottest
oriental fans who daily attended the
games in Washington. One day at a
game a young man trying TO make an
impression started to explain TO the
ambassador why hard hit bin that
went through the infield should have
scored a hit when the chink broke in:
mo. you're not wise to the play I'd
give the fielder an error for using such
d-n poor Judgment The young fell
