HEAVY RAIN ADDS TO
INTENSE SUFFERING or
HUNDREDS OF INJURED

CATANIA, Jan. IA heavy rain
continues to fall at Messina, increasing
the suffering of the injured and MAX
ing more difficult the work of rescue,
but 1t is quenching the fires and hav-
ing a slightly purifying effect on the
air.
The distribution of food has been or
ganized. Bakeries have been opened
and Strengthening houses established,
and 1T is hoped that by nightfall or at
the latest tomorrow morning no one
will be without food.
The road between here and Messina
is filled with refugees. There are
crowds of them at every station Of the
railroad, and they are lowering in the
main doorways, in hamlets and huts.
Some of them stagger along, over
loaded with their possessions There
are others driving before them a
donkey, or with a COW weighed down
with household goods, while still 9TH
ers are accompanied by sheep, goats.
or perhaps a faithful dog.
But vast majority Of the survivors
have saved nothing. All their possess
sions are on their backs in the shape
of tattered clothing, scantily covering
their nakedness.
The survivors one and all tell awful
tales of death and destruction.
They say there undoubtedly are peo-
pie still living, trapped in the ruins of
the smaller villages that have not been
carefully searched; that others are
straying along the beach, and that still
others are high up in the mountains,
where they fed to escape the waters.
Victims Probably Dead
More than four full days have now
elapsed since the first shock, and it is
hard to believe that there are still liv-
ing souls in the wreckage. Death would
be preferable to their agony and suf-
fering.
The rescue work at Messina is pro-
ceeding with undated energy, but the
conditions are difficult
The streets are so encountered with
wreckage that the movements of the
rescuers are very slow, and the area
to be gone over is so vast that much
time must elapse before all the Gre
vases, holes, cellars and heaps of ruins
can be examined.
The city has been divided into zones,
and the work of rescue in each district
is in charge of army officers. The sol
diers continue to distribute bread and
water to the survivors.
Few children have been found alive
at Messfna, while at Reggie large num-
bers of children have been taken alive
from the ruins Eight hundred dead
soldiers are under the wreckage Of the
Messina barracks.
The corpses being recovered through
out the city are mutilated beyond rec
ognition.
Another town, Castroreale, has been
added to the list Of devastated locali-
ties. Not house escaped. The streets
are filed with despairing survivors
seeking friends and relatives and clam
oring for food and water. This place
had population of about 1000.
American and British tourists who
were at Taormina at the time of the
earthquake have formed an organiza-
ton for the succor of the injured The
headquarters Of the organization are at
Giardina, thirty miles south of Messina,
on the road to Catania. The committee
includes about fifty men and women,
under the leadership of Miss Ball.

REPORTS AT MALTA DECLARE
KINGS PRESENCE EFFECTIVE

MALTA, Jan. Wireless dispatches
received from the British warships at
Messina indicate that the kings pres
ence there has aided somewhat in
bringing about a better condition.
The dispatches say that although the
panic has not subsidized, the bulk Of the
people are behaving we'll
Martial law was proclaimed on Tues
DAY at the express desire of King Vic
tor Emmanuel
More than a hundred British and
many Maltese tourists were in Messina
at the time of the disaster.
The dead still lie in the streets, hor-
rible and disfigured The weather is
very cold, and frequent heavy rains
and hail are experienced. Food is hard
ly obtainable, and there is no drinkable
water.
The wireless dispatches give a long
list of British subjects alive or dead.
The only American mentioned is Stuart
Lupton, the new vice consul at Mes
sina, and he is safe.

a message through from these localities
the cry has been for food.
Amid the gloomy and depressing hor-
ror, which like a leaden weight OPP
presses the land that by all countries
has been called the garden spot of
Europe" two notable female figures
stand out as guardian angels, watching
over the afflicted population.
Two Women Help Many
They are Queen Helena and another
Helena, the duchess of Aosta. The
queen has given the sufferers her tears,
and with her own hands she has bound
up their wounds, using her handker-
chief when other bandages were lack
ing. She has given also of her worldly
possessions including the rings from
her fingers.

VOLCANO AND BOILING
WATER AT SEA AMONG
REPORTED PHENOME

NORFOLK, Va, Jan. IA volcano
at sea and field of boiling water off
the coast of Georgia are among the
phenomena which British officers have
reported to the photographic Office here.
While the British steamer Baltic
headed towards this coast ON December
81 First Officer Landmary observed what
he reported as an eruption apparently
twenty miles distant, resembling a vol
canic action.
The weird disturbance lasted but a
few seconds.
The British ship Lord Dufferin on De-
cember Is passed an area of boiling
water less than eco miles off the south
ern coast according to the captains Of

Reggie after walking eighteen miles,
practically without clothing. Finally
on the outskirts of Catanzaro a monk
stripped off his habit and gave it to
the unfortunate.
Another young woman of Reggie
was prisoner for forty-eight hours
on the fifth floor of her home. She
called for help, which none dared to
give her because of the unsafe condi-
tion of the walls.
Finally when a fireman braved the
danger and brought the girl down she
was found to have gone raving mad.
Her mother and father, two brothers
and a sister were lying dead in a room
beside her.
Violent scenes were witnessed here
today when a train started for the
Reggie disaster.
The cars were taken by assault and
men broke into the windows.
Several persons were injured in the
scuffling
