Pathetic scenes are being enacted
today about the heaps Of ruins by
men and women whose missing
friends and relatives are thought TO
be buried In the debris. There Is
no hope of getting an accurate list
Of the missing and dead today. for
the hotel register was burned up
and there are no other means OF
getting this information at once.
Chief of Police Anckenbruek
said that as far as he can learn
the death list may reach 40, al
though there is no way Of confirm

The rescuers are working under
great difficulty. Before they can
expect TO reach any more bodies
they must remove piece by piece,
