ROME, March 31.-Although over
two months have passed since earth
quakes wrecked large portion of the
Abyruzzi district, comparatively little
has been done to tsart life afresh in
the ruined region. The great desire of
most of the few survivors, however, is
to return once more to their native
mountains and put together some
humble shelter for themselves.
At Capelle, AvezZano and other towns
which suffered most severely, nothing
strikes the beholder so forcibly as the
thoroughness of the destruction. The
towns are immune, formless drust-
heaps. 1t is easy to understand how
the work of rescue in the early days
was rendered almost impossible by the
entire lack of ladders, tools or any
instruments which could aid in disin-
terring the innumerable victims.
The venerable parrot and historian,
Senator Pasquale Villari, whose fasci-
mating books on Savonarola and on
Machiavelli have been translated into
many languages, has come forward to
suggest that body of workers, re-
sembling those trained for Red Cross
work in war, should thoroughly and
scientifically prepared beforehand in
order that when these recurrent earth
quake tragedies oyerwhelm one part or
another Of Italy, they could be sent in
stantly, armed with every appliance to
render assistance that would be trebl-
ed in value by its promptness. Profess
scr Villari recalls. that the Japanese,
whose land is also constantly threat
ened by earthquakes, have perman-
ent commission for the study of earth
quakes and for the best mode of re-
building the towns that have suffered
and of avoiding the consequences Of
these calamities.
Father Alfani, the director of the
Observatory at Florence, in a lecture
lately delivered in Rome, pointed out
that recently in Japan, earthquakes

on the frontier between Russia and
Sweden where the new railway lines
terminate from both directions, is just
now one OF the most prosperous towns
in Europe. Traffic over the railroads
Is SO heavy that the lines are well-nign

building an immense barracks and
customs house, besides numerous
buildings to accommodate the 100000
prisoners, German and Russian, who
will be exchanged at this point begin
ming early in April.

100000 PAID OUT BY
RELIEF FUND
(By Associated Press.I

LONDON, March 31.-Up to March
the Prince of Wales National Relief
Fund paid out approximately $1,000
900 for the relief of distress among the
families of soldiers and sailors. The
total number of households relieved
through the Soldiers and Sailors Fam
lilies Association was 100000. Through
other channels, grants were made to
5000 widows, 1000 children, and 5000
other dependents of soldiers and
sailors, who have died.

FOUND GUILTY BUT
GIVEN IRON CROSS

DORTMUND, March 31.-From Heils-
berg comes the story of little reserve
division detailed to guard a bridge
and nothing against possible
Russian attack. Presently the news
that Russians had occupied a farm
house nearby reached the men, and
agitation was begun at once to leave
the bridge they were guarding and at
tack the Russians.
The more conservative argued thai
they would be courtmartialled as re.
miss in their duty if they left the
bridge, but majority sentiment pre-
vailed, the division made a sortire, and
drove the Russians from the farm
house. And then, just as the conser-
vative had argued, all were hailed be-
fore the courtmartial, with predc-
tons freely made that they would be
imprisoned.
The major himself tried the case
looked serious when he heard the
charge, found them all guilty of leav-
ing their post, and as penalty-prom-
iseed to recommend them for the Iron
Cross.

POSTMEN
ARE KEPT BUSY
(By Associated Press.)

BERLIN, March 31.-The Imperial
Post Office has met the numerous COM
plants of slow service of the so-called
Field Post" by publishing some sta
tistics showing the enormous amount
of work carried on by this bronch of
the service. The Field Post takes over
every day 100000 pieces of mail for
distribution among the soldiers at the
front and in garrison; and it sends
back from the front 100000 pieces,
not to mention some 235,OOO pieces
sent from one army to the other. The
mail sent to the front must first be as
sorted according to troop organizations
into $4,000 piles; and the letters alone
fill 10000 bags daily. The postoffice
itself has contributed it's share toward
swelling the ranks of the German
armies not less than 10000 of its offic-
ials being now under arms This is
another reason for dilatory service, as
the places of these men have in many
cases had to be filled by unframed per-
sons. Some 900 automobiles are used
in transporting the mails from the rail-
ways to the troops.

Avezzano had occurred and that thanks
to such studies and precautions the
loss of life had been infnitesimal or
nonresident. Senator Villari remarks
that the cost of training and equipping
such body of men, though it would be
considerable, would be as nothing in
comparison to the expenditure to which
the nation is put in repairing, as we'll
as may be, the loss of life and prop
erty caused by these recurrent mis-

The offices of the Cunard line remained open today
but there were far from many people there as vester
day. Those who have lost relatives and friends are still
anxouSly waiting hoping against hope, but the officials
of the line now have been compelled to declare that those
whose names do not appear the list of saved undoubt

might have been picked up by passing steamers and car

now been time for every point to have been heard FROM
The suggestion that divers be sent down to see whetes
they cannot locate the wrecked steamer has been emphat-
lcay rejected by the Cunard officials after consultation
with the admiralty 1t is stated that the liner lies at
depth far below the limit that any diver could live 1t
possible however, that an attempt may be made to locate
the wreck SO that possible it may be blown up and thus
many of the bodies released.

THINK GERMANY WANTS WAR.

Many o1cals privately have expressed the belief that
Germany would welcome the entrance of the United States
into the war as giving the Kaiser opportunity to "save
his dynasty" by Immediately suing for peace Among
those who are known to lean toward this theory is Admiral
Sir Charles Beresford He has announced that he will in
terrogate Premier Asquh the Lusitania tragedy when
the house of commons reconvenes tomorrow.
He takes the position that the admiralty should have
provided IN escort for the Lusitania from the moment that
she approached the Irish coast
We all realize that the destroyer is the natural foe of
the submarine, said the admiral today and if we had sent
enough of them to the Irish coast there would have been
no such tragedy as this which horres the civilized world"
Tomorrow's session of the house of commons is ex-
pected to he the most exciting since the early days of the
war There are of members who have announced
that they intend demanding that the government under
take eprsals against Germany which will be equay as
severe the measures that Germany is now using Lord
Beresford will again demand that the prisoners of war
from German submarines now in England be immediate

LONDON, May 9.-The question "What is America
going to do about ?" was becoming more and more in
ssent today the full truth of the Lusitania tragedy
dawned on the British people,
1t is generally accepted that while there will be no
haSty action the United States can be depended to

the editorial comments of the Observer probably the most
influential of the London Sunday newspapers which says:
'Whe Americas course is difficult no one can ac-
cuse President Wilson of pusllanimy if he decides
against forcibe action despite this previous wrong We
hold that the United States has reason for prudent re-
strant it would be bunder if it permitted itself in

deep laid plans by taking up the gauntlet of proved
