South American Pact.

American officials see nothing men,
acing to the interests of the United
States in the peace arrangement that
has just been perfected by the republics
of Argentina, Brazil. and Chilli In
timations have come from South Ameri-
ca and other sources that the A. B. C..

to dominating the other republics of
South America with the understanding
that in due season the United States
would absorb Mexico. thus placing the
two Americas, south of Canada, under
the influence of this country and the
three progressive republics In South
America.
Secretary Of State Bryan made a brief
statement yesterday relative to the
treaty which press reports say has just
been signed by Argentina, Brazil. and

of such a treaty as evidence of I'M
friendliness to this country the Secre-
tary replied: "On the contrary; it is
an evidence Of friendliness rather than
unfriendliness. because they are doing
exactly what We have done, not only
with these nations, but with twenty
seven Others"

DISTRICT BOARD IS PUZZLED.
Auth GRITTY to Bar Parkway Build
inEs in Doubt.

The District Commissioners are puz-
zled over the question as to whether
they have the authority to reject an
application for the erection of four
buildings at Twentieth street and Bel
mont road, within the boundary of the
proposed connecting parkway between
Potomac and Rock Creek parks.
The condemnation of the land has
been authorized by Congress, but no
appropriation has been made for the
acquisition of the property. The appli-
cant for the erection of the buildings
argues that the Commissions are with
out authority to reject his application.
He is of the opinion that If the build
ings are erected Congress will change
the boundaries of the proposed con-
Meeting park rather than pay for the
property improvements

in the great earthquake that has swept
over central and southern Italy last
week has not yet been made up, but
all adyices reaching Rome indicate
the ever-growing extent Of the dis
aster, which is probably greater than
the one in Messina.
Towns with thousands OF inhabitants
have been overthrown and from some
Of these come details which show an
immense loss of life. The estimates
vary from $4,000 to $4,000 dead and
injured, and yet there are several sec
tions. which undoubtedly felt the
earthquake in full measure, from
which no estimates can be obtained.
In the ancient territory Of Marsi,
which includes Avezzano. the victims
are placed at 10000. Only small
minority is left Of the inhabitants Of
Avezzano, who numbered approx
mately ten thousand. Fifteen other
towns and villages In that section
have been laid waste. King Victor
Emmanuel is on the scene at Avezzano
and 10000 soldiers have been dis
patched to various centers where the
force of the disturbance was greatest
Italy as a nation has risen again to
give succor as she did at the time
OF the Messina earthquake six years
ago, to those who have fallen in this
latest catastrophe from which the
country has suffered.
Demolished or partly demolished
towns did that part Of Italy from
Naples northward to Ferrara and
crosswise the peninsula from the
Tyrrhenian to the Adriatic sea.
Thousands OF dead lie beneath the
mounds of debris which once were
dwellings, churches and public insti'
tutions which crumbled under the
earth's vibrations.
Not even an estimate Of the aggre-
gate fatalities is yet obtainable, as
numerous places are still isolated ow-
ing to the severance of telegraphic,
telephone and railroad communica-
tion. II Is known, however, that
Avezzano is a metropolis and that also
in Sora, some twenty-five miles to the
southeast, a large number OF lives
were lost. In Avezzano and vicinity 1t
is estimated tnat $4,000 perished and
that the dead in Sora. will total 1000
So far as is known about twenty
towns have been absolutely leveled
while an almost equal number suffered
serious damage. In all these places
persons were killed or injured.
In the Lateran palace. especially
that part occupied by the museum
the earthquake caused cracks of SUN
cient size to permit outside light to
penetrate the building. The hall Of
the chamber of deputies likewise was
cracked.
Oldest TeutonIc Church Damaged.
Among other edifces damaged were
the churches of st. Andria Fratte anC
st. Agatha of the Goths, the latter
being the Oldest church Of Teutonit
origin in Rome.
It is announced officially that the
center of the earthquake was betweer
Campobasso and Sarno and that !
was felt strongly at Perugia an'
slightly as far north as Ferrara.
The town of Profs is reported u
have been half destroyed. At Giulian'
two persons were killed.
