THE catastrophe is indeed scourge

it is no longer possible to think about

since the diaster must of necessity be

devoted to caring for the injured
In view of these conditions the gov

energies to removing the wounded to
points where they can receive proper
attention. The uninjured survivors
will also be assisted from the devas-

in this way the danger of pestilence
can be avoided.
Remove the Survivors.
Colossal emigrant steamships are
oeing employed in the removal of the
survivors to places of safety. This
work will be continued without inter-
mission until all are removed from
the district.
Messina and Reggie, two typical
southern cities of Italy, are today no
more than heaps of shattered mason

ruins of both are to be covered with
quicklime to prevent an outbreak Of
disease.
If it is found impossible to land
the refugees Immediately they can be
