PLOT AGAINST ENJOYS FAILS.
Russians Hear of Conspiracy to
Draw Persia Into War.

Petrograd. Jan. 17.-Details have
reached Titles regarding a frustrated
plot at Teheran against the Russian,
French and Belgian diplomatic corps,
intended to have been effected Christ
mas Day.
Opposite the British legation on
Christmas eve Mahmet Khan, owner
of shop. was blown up by a bomb.
Inquiry established the existence Of a
Turko-Persian committee. organized by
Germans and Turks for the purpose Of
involving Persia in war against Rus
sia and England.
The committee manufactured bombs
which were brought to the shop Of
Mahmet Khan. The bombs were to
be thrown into the carriages of the
Russian. French and Belgian minis
ters and their suites. returning from
the Christmas dinner and ball at the
British legation.
The committee calculated that after
the assassination of the diplomatic
corps Russian troops would be sent
to restore order and suppress the revo-
luton, thereby drawing Persia into the
war against her will.

turesque villages, has alone lost 1000 of
its people.
The first impression OF the stricken
town was horrifying. Wherever one
looked he saw nothing but wounded.
Rows OF them were on improvised
stretchers, on platforms. between tracks,
and in makeshift tents in the freight
yards.
Long. endless professions Of soldiers.
reaching to the limit OF vision. carrying
stretchers. marched slowly toward the
station. The chaos and disorder was
shocking.
Hundreds OF soldiers poured out of my
train. armed with rife and bayonet, but
not a spade among them. Here and
there at various villages we had picked
up wOrkmen with picks and shovels.
a doctor told me since early the previ-
Gus morning he had been working with
two assistants tending over 800 wounded.
Everything was in turmoil. There
was not a vestige of system or Organi-
zation. Every one shouted orders
There was no attempt at Self-restraint.
l must admit it didn't give me a very
high impression OF the readiness Of
the Italian army.
At the station a sad contrast was
presented. On the track stood the
royal train. luXuriously fitted with red
plush in the upholstered private car
of the King. Surrounding it were
countless numbers of crying sufferers
on stretchers or on the ground. A
few PAGES away was a freight car
filled with wounded. lying on bare
boards.

from the front in Belgium. men terri
bly, mutilated by shrapnel, but most of
them kept up their spirits. Not so
these Italian earthquake victims. The
ashen faces, cut in many places. their
eyes bloodshot, their limbs crushed or
swollen, made a picture of an inferno.
Yet two days ago a bright southern
sun lighted the peaceful. picturesque
villages of Fucino Valley. where today
reigns only death and destruction.
10000 Dead in AveEHano.
Avezzano, Jan. -l7-Terror struck u:is
