Western Newspaper Union News Service.
London, Jan. 1S.-Eighteen towns
and villages have been destroyed by
the earthquake, thirteen others left
with scarcely building standing. and
twelve more have suffered lesser
damage, the Lloyd's News announces
in 4 dispatch from its Rome CORE
spondent. Survivors are suffering Sc
sevely, the correspondent says, and in
many places thirty-siX hours elapsed
before the first relief corps arrived.
The vast Abruzz region is almost
devoid OF hospitals. the dispatch con
tinues, and the people still are terror
ized by almost incessant earth ire
mors. Ninety-eight of these shocks
are said to have been counted in TWEEN
ty-four hours.
'.he correspondent Asserts that the
italian government has announced
that, in view of the present interna-
tional unheaval. no contributions for
earthquake victims can be accepted
from foreign countries, even If they
are neutral in the war.
Rome-The toll of death from
Italy's earthquake disaster was
swelled by thousands with the receipt
by Premier Salandra of reports from
towns which had not been heard from
before.
Startling evidence OF the magnitude
of the disaster wrought in Sora was
revealed when the rescuers uncovered
~ of
the town.
The deaths here will number 1000.
Rocurrent tremors razed the few re
naming walls as the workers bur.
rowed in the debris. Many soldiers
were reported injured and some killed
outright. Since Wednesday 164. shocks
have been recorded.
Avezzano's death list is placed at
10000.
More than 5000 deaths were added
to the total by reports from the fol
lowing towns:
Coliarmele, where 700 are reported
dead: Ortucchio. with 2.400; Balsor
ano, 1000: Morino. 1000; Colelongo
500; Caniworona, 100, and 1izegna. 20
The total number of deaths reported
from official and private sources to
date exceeds 10000. but Premier Sa
landra states that many of these re
ports obviously are exaggerated.
In n any of the towns the wounded
are dying from exposure and hunger
The Messaggero and other Rome
newspapers complain of the lack of or
garization in the relief work, which is
said to have led to delay in rescuing
victims. There is also an insufficiency
of supplies, particularly in the remote
districts.
This situation is deplored even by
TIE King, who expressed his sorrowful
surprise that persons who might have
bcen saved by prompt work have per
ished in the ruins, while many who
were rescued have been suffering fol
seventy'wo hours from cold. hunger
