TEAR AT RUINS
WITH BARE HANDS

They Search.

Avezzano. Jan. 15.-From all parts OF
the Continent there arrived in Aver
-aro TO-DAY visitors seeking persons
who were living In the town when II
va, razed by the earthquake Wednes-
dav morning. They had believed that
.be descriptions OF the destruction
wrought we're exaggerated, and when
confronted with the mounds Of masonry
which represent all that is left OF the
town. they we're thunderstruek.
Many Of the visitors realized at once
the utter uselessness IN searching Tor
friends and relatives. but others. more
hopeful. climbed simlessly over the
debris for hours, trusting TO find some
indication OF 4 once we'll known spot
which would aid them IN tracing loved
ones.
Among these searchers many were
successful iu locating the former homes
Of relatives or friends. Numerous were
the pstbetc scenes enacted. Some Of
tho visitors would throw themseles on
the ruins and call m endearing terms
for those whom they had known to
answer them. Trsntioaily they would
appeal 90 the spectators for assistance,
meanwhile attempting 20 remove the
stones. Indifferent 20 the PAIN from
their lacerated hands and unheeding
the blood that trickled from cuts
caused by the Jagged stones and broken
glass. Frequently searchers collapsed,
and 10 was necessary TO remove them
10 improvised hospitals for treatment.
II was only occasionally that Wis
tor 20 the city would find relative
or acquaintance alive. When, however,
such an instance occurred Joyful
erecting followed. Women and men
would fy into the arms Of one another
and exchange kisses and laugh hysteri-
callv or else would embrace and weep
silently but joyfully. The few in
stance Of 10Y seemed homogeneous
when an about there was so much sor-
row. and often almost envious eyes
we're east by unsuccessful searehers
for relative or friend upon more fortu-
nate ones who had found theirs.
