MARcoNI DESCRIBES
HAVOC AT AVEZZANo.

Rome.-Gugliemo Marconi, who re-
turned here from Avezzano on board
the train with King Victor Emanuel,
said the town absolutely has been lev.
elled and those of its populace who
escaped death in the disaster now are
destitute.
King Victor Emmanuel told me-"
said Marconi, that he visited the
places of all the earthquake disasters
in Italy since he was a child, but that
this one surpassed all others, even
Messina. The King said only two or
three per cent. Of the population of
Avezzano escaped, while in Messina
one-third Of the people survived.
Describing the damage in Avezzano
Marconi said:
"Avezzano has ceased to exist. In
Messina some buildings, especially
he palaces along the sea front, gave
one the impression that they were
still intact. Not SO in Avezzano. No
wall there remains erect. 1t seems
as though the town were ground to
powder by some gigantic machine"
"On the first day of the disaster"
Marconi continued, "the rescuers were
so few they could not even attempt
to excavate at places from which cries
came, so they planted poles here and
there at. such spots, hoping to return
later with enough men to release the
victims. When the rescuers returned,
however, most of the voices had been
stilled."

central Faly following the earthquake
This increased the sufferings Of the
tens of thousands Of homeless. Hun
dreds have been stricken with pneu
monia and it is feared that the deaths
caused directly by the earthquake will
be greatly increased by disease.
At Avezzano the King personally
aided a frantic mother to find her
baby in the ruins Of her home. When
the infant was found dead the mother
became insane and had to be restrain
ed. A man who had been struggling
alone amid the debris of his home to
find the members of his family was
aided by troops directed by the King.
When his wife and two young daugh.
ters were found dead this man lost his
reason and tried to end his Life. He
was restrained by the King.
The troops at Avezzano have made
numerous CHASTITY finds. They also
have rescued many persons impris-
oned In the wreckage. In one place
they found sixteen little children, who
had gone down with the walls OF an
orphan asylum. Most Of the children
had suffered for twenty-four hours or
longer with broken legs and arms,
pinned down by beams. Several OF
them will die.
Official reports from Aiello. Ccsen-
"a Province, state that about 1000
are entombed there. Several smaller
towns report about 200 each. There
is not a house In Aquilla City that has
not been wrecked or damaged, while
Cappadovia and B~alsorano, midway
between Avezzano and Sora, shared q
similar fate.
Forty bodies have been recovered at
T~agliacozzo, several hundreds having
been injured. The railroads, bridges
and q large number Of houses were
wrecked In the neighboring town of
Bussi. Cocculo is reported to have
been razed. At Solmona, the birth
place OF Ovid, the roof of the Church
Of San Domenico collapsed, as did the
barracks, where q number of soldiers
were killed.
Probably never before in the history
Of Italian disasters has the relief work
been 80 complete and well systemat-
lied. This was possible owing to the
fact that a good part OF the army a
already modified for service and en-
ormous quantities of foodstuffs, medi-
cal supplies and the like we're in the
various depots in anticipation of Italy
entering the a. By orders Of the
King all Of these supplies have been
made available for the stricken people
Boy Sent News Of Disaster.
A wagoner's apprentice, a boy Of
thirteen years, was the first person
to give the news of Avezzano to the
outside world. He succeeded in get
ting back into the town a few mo-
ments after the first shock. He found
a railroad employee and persuaded this
man, with his help, to rig up a tele-
graph instrument in a freight car and
connect it with a wire that was still
intact. Calling on the instrument, the
railroad man, who Is the operator
o got Rome. The two together
then sent the first news of the disas-
ter.
