The man was on the street when The
shocI, came. To him it seemed as if
everything fell to pieces at once. An
immense cloud of dust arose from the
ruins and yelled the sky. The few sur
vivo~s assembled in Torlcnia Square.
Suffering from shock, if not from ac-
tual wounds, they were not capable of
helping the wounded buried iii the
ruins.
King Victor Emmanuel, despite TIE
protests of Government officials, who
urged the international situation in
Europe a. a reason for his staying in
Rome, departed early today for the
vicinity of Avc@zano to do whatever
re could and by his presence give
stimulus TO the relief work. He a.
rived at the Ayezzano this afternoon
and inspected the ruins and watched
the relief work.
Queen Helena, still in bed, since the
birth Of a daughter, has expressed the
keenest regret that she could not so
TO the scenes of devastation as she<tjid
at Messina.
Relief committees are being organ
lied in each locality that has been
stricken, to work under the direction
and cooperation with the Central
Committee in Rome which is under the
of Premier Salandra.
Soldiers have been rushed to the
scene, and by night will have estab-
lished tent colonies in which the home
less thousands may find temporary
shelter. Lines of communication, es-
pecially railroad tracks and telephorc
and telegraph wires, have been inter
rupted seriously throughout the entire
earthquake belt, and the transport
ton of supplies furnished by the Gov
crnment and private sources ic going
forward by automobile and horse
drawn wagons.
The forces at work relieving dis
tress face scenes of the greatest trag-
edy. Families have been separated;
fathers have returned to their shat
tered homes to find their children and
wives dead or missing; children ara
fatherless and wives have become
widows.
In every stricken section temporary
hospitals have been established, and
to those thave gone nurses and doctors
to care for the injured. The list in
cludes the Duchess of Aosta, who has
gone to MOnterotondo as nurse.
