State Cant Support 100000 Refugees Much
Longer-Disorder Among Lower Glasses.

Rome. Jan. H.-The gravest problem which Italy
faces is that Of providing for the two hun
bred thousand refugees made homeless by the
earthquake. Most OF them now IN Naples. Their
support is costing approximately 100000 day, an
expense which neither charity nor the resources OF
the state bear for long.
Besides. charity has had the effect of arousng
the appettes of the low and turbulent classes and
caused disorder. 1t has been made plain that 1t is
more urgent to give work TO these thousands than
TO foster them in the belief that they indef-
uitely continue living public charity.
