Wesley and Corn.

Wesley Drescher, of Quincy has
been visiting his parents, c. L.
Drescher and wife.
Well bet that upon his return
home the Suckers will cease to twit
him about being Missourian, for
he returned loaded for them. He
had photos of Missouri corn that
would scatter the dreams of Dick
Bros. Sucker so badly that they will
not even whimper, Missouri, to
Wesley again.

ROME, Dec. Sl-The foreigners IN

here today from the field authorities. 80
These authorities say there is little

heard from are still alive. This is be
Heved TO be particularly true Of the
Americans. who, with characteristic en-
CTgy, would surely have reached some
Of the news disseminating points by this
time. II alive.
Thousands OF inquiries have been sent
TO the authorities on the scene. who
have made every effort 10 locate the
persons sought, but comparatively few
OF them have been found.
This IS 4 case or no news being had
news said one OF the government OF
tiCials.
What will add greatly to the anxiety
Of friends and relatives Of these for
elgners is the uncertainty that must
surround their fate for days 10 come.
It will be days befpre little more than
the edge Of the ruins is reached and
months before they are cleared away.
Hundreds of bodies never will be re-
covered. Many were buried in the ruins,
and others washed TO sea in the tidal
waves. , Is probable that the closest
final estimate made on the victims can
not come within 10000 OF the actual
