farming exhibit in the horticultural and agricul
turaI building. Huge pumpkins, squashes and su
gar beets are shown as the result of the dry farm
ing process in the Estancia valley. The visitors

without irrigation, and the pumpkins are looked
upon as the result of some miracle

SHIPS NOW NEAR SUEz CANAL
Believed They Could Reach Messina
About January Unnecessary

The great American battleship fleet,

one of the greatest humanitarian agents
in modern times. Not content with the
outpourings of private charity. it is prob
direct this great fleet away from its own
maritime progress toward home to the
stricken city of Messina and the other
Italian ports where devastation beyond
the unaided efforts Of the Italian people
themselves to repair has been wrought
by earthquake and tidal wave.
The matter of dispatching the fleet on
this mission of mercy is now being con-
sideration and a speedy decision in favor
of such employment is expected.
1t was also learned today from au
authoritative source that the President
will Monday next send to Congress a
message urging a liberal appropriation
for the relief of the earthquake sufferers
in Italy.
The sixteen warships are now making
their way through the Red sea, and
should arrive at Port Said, on the eastern
entrance of the Suez canal, by Sunday.
Here the ships will get orders by cable
if, indeed. they have not previously got
in touch with the cable station at Port
Said by wireless. Coal supplies must bs
taken on, for the ships are just complet-
ing one of the longest legs of their re-
markable voyage namely, from Colombo

greater than they will have to cover TO

Then. at least two days probably will be

STARVATION AND PEST|LENCE
Earthquake Survivors Suffering
With Hunger and Facing Death
by Disease From Ruins.

ROME. December 31.-To the terrifying
spectacle of death caused by Monday
earthquake has now been added the nor
ror of starvation and the fear Of spread
of pestilence.
In the ruins of Messina, Reggie and
various towns in Sicily and Calabria lie
the bodies of the dead which it has been
impossible to extricate. while everywhere
thousands of hungry and homeless per-
sons throng the Uttered thoroughfares.
Words are inadequate to express the
horror of the ruin and desolation that has
overwhelmed Calabria and Sicily. Where
the earths tremblings and fire and water
have combined to change the smiling,
yerdant country into deserts.
Messina and Reggie exist no longer
and at least thirty years will be neces-
sary to repair The ruin that natures vlo-
lences have wrought there.
An official estimate places the dead at
1l5OOO, but there is reason to believe this
may be greatly exceeded.
Today the pitiable plight of the sur
vivors claims universal attention. The
relief of their suffering calls for the con-
centrated effort of all nations. The dead
are dead. but countless thousands OF half
demented naked and starving SURVIVORS,
some wounded and some uninjured, are
crying pitifully for food, water, clothing,
shelter ard medical attention.
1t is estimated that 100000 people have
fled from the desolated territory in fear
of further convulsions.
Fate of Many Villages Unknown.
AS vet it has been found impossible to
obtain any news of the fate of the little
villages along the coast. many of which,
it is believed, have been entirely wiped
out In many coses entire buildings
have been swept out to sea and
no trace of them remains. Flour
ishng villages have been wiped out of
existence. In some of the smaller towns,
such as Palmi near Monteleone. the sud
denness and the completeness of the
catastrophe was overwhelming. Of the
Il coo people living in Palmi only a few
score are alive today. Yesterday 200
corpses were buried in the cemetery there.
The survivors of Palmi, reinforced by
rescuers from other points and under the
lead of soldiers and doctors, are per-
forming prodigies of valor. Many of them
have been overcome by the awful condi-
tions under which they are working. The
Bishop of Morabito and other priests. with
touching devotion and courage. have done
much to preserve order by the example
of calmness and self-denial they have
given the people: They are busy carrying
comfort and consolation to the dying and
the bereaved.
Survivors in Terrible Condition.
The first of the survivors of Reggie
to reach CatanZaro were broken
down by the shock of their experiences
that it was almost impossible for them
to give any connected account of the
destruction of the city. They speak dis
of whole districts swept
away in a moment and entire families

ghostly desolation. The railroads and
