FLOODS FOLLOW 'QUAKE
 IN ITALY; THEIR RIVER INUNDATES HOLY CITY
Pope Benedict Aids Parish Priests Bringing Relief
 Hundreds of Families Fleeing Before Floods

Rome, Feb. 15.-Ita1y, having Just passed through period of grave anx- fety as result of destructive earth Quakes, is now facing a peril in the form of floods. Everywhere streams are out of their banks, due to heavy rains which have continued for sev- eral days.
 In the low-1y1ng quarters the people have been driven from their homes or are prisoners in the upper stories of their houses. The military author tiles have taken cognizance of the sit uation and troops have been sent to aid in rescue work and to provide food to sufferers cut off from supplies.
 In Rome, the river Fiber is out of it's banks and is rising at the rate of two inches an hour. The one bright spot in the situation is that the wealth CT. early to-day, showed signs of clearing and this gives hope that waters will soon recede.
 The Leonine City, as the Vatican quarters of Rome is called, is in the lower part of the town and this sec- ton is generally flooded. The water, however, has not yet reached the apostolic palace or St. Peters.
 Pope Benedict is taking a sympa- thetic interest in the situation and has enjoined the parish priests to energy in aiding their distressed parishioners. The Pope himself spent a, good deal of his time Sunday watching the ris- ing waters in the quarter just below the apostolic palace.
 Two hundred patients in the hos pitaI of Santo Spirito. near the Vati- can, have been removed to the upper

 The authorities have closed the road from Rome to the sea in which there are several deposits of carbide and lime. Some of these, through through Alteration from the flooded river, have already exploded and caus- ed nearby buildings to collapse. For tunate1y there were no casualties as the people, foreseeing danger. has left the place.
 Great anxiety is felt to-day for the famous St. Angelo bridge, originally erected by Emperor Hadrtan and which connects his tomb with the city. The water already is over the pillars of the bridge and troops. engineers and dremen are at the scene doing what is possible to check the perils. ATilos bridge, built over 100 years be- fore Christ, is inundated and water also surrounds the imposing Basilica of St. PauPs. The Sub1ious bridge, the structure supposed to be have been defended by Horatius and two companions, also is under water. This is the oldest bridge in Rome, having been built in the year 639, B. c.
 The bridges which have shown signs of weakness have been closed to traffic.
 Many houses in the 1rnrnediate neighborhood of St. Peters have from 3 to feet Of water in the low CT stories and the inhabitants have been obliged to move to the upper floors. In the 1ow-lying quarters of | the city, boats are the only means of communication. Crowds spent the night watching the rising tide.

GERMAN STAMINA BOUND TO WIN.
 SAYS PROFESSOR
Endurance of Teuton Army Manifested Through Sta
 tistics of Mathematician

That the longer the war in Europe lasts the stronger Germany will grow, is the contention of Prof. Karl Duesing, one of the Instructors at the Naval. college at Kiel. Germany. Prof. Duesing has written to his brother. pr. Herman Duesing, Of 11s9 East Main street, this city. Prof. Duesing bases his contention on. the theory that when the war began the losses of the allies outnunnbered those of the Germans in such proportions that though at the beginning the ra- t3o of the sa11ies compared to the Germans was as four to one, at pres ent the ratio is being rapidly reduc- ed
 Prof. Duesing says Germany is prepared wage a long war. That his. country has no cause to hurry the war and that the conflict will probabiy last for years. According to the professor, on December 1T, 1914, Gen. Joffre, commander Of one of the allies armies, ordered an of fensive movement Previously the operations of the allies had been on the defensive. According to Gen. Jonre's official report, in the four weeks succeeding or until Jan. 16. 17,S6o killed and 26.0OO wounded and 17sS6O prisoners. Experience in previous warfare has shown that the number of wounded is always four times the combined number of killed and prisoners hence it is estimaEed that the French loss for that period must have been at least 15O, 900.
 For the same period the official German reports show only 35, 1000 killed. wounded or missing. In the fighting, near Soiesons on Jan. Il, IF and Is, Prof. Duesing says the Ger mans took 5.20o prisoners, killed B. l GOO, wounded at least 1000 and cap- tured 35 cannon. The French have lost their last position on the right bank of the river Aisne and now hold positions on the left bank only from which the Germans are beginning movements to disD1ace them He says the Germans took S,20o prisoners of war in the lighting iu the Forest of Argonnes from Jan 8 l to 10.
 By means Of av1ators constant communication with the outside world is kept up from the &eaeged fortress Of Prezemysl in Ga1acia. Prof. Duesing says although the fortress has been completely invested by the Russians, the daring German and Austrian birdmen go in and out daily and the mail is delivered to the 1 city three times daa1y.
 German war loan bonds have riser from 97.5 to 10O.5.
