Rome, Ian II. - With every
hour as additional and more ac-
curate details are received, the
horror of yesterdays earthquake
increases, threatening to place it
i'll the list of similar cataStrophes
in Europe second only to the
Alessina disaster OF 1908.
The list of dead. dying and in
jured has increased from a rcla-
lively small figure last night to
more than $4,000 according to an
Aofficial announcement to day and
Vt is expected this number may
grow before the day is over.
The full extent OF the property
loss has not yet been determined.
Here in Rome priceless statues,
century-old buildings and struc-
lures that for years have been the
mecca of all visitors nave been
destroyed or injured.
Some expressed belief that the
earthquake was divine warning
to Italy not to take part in the
war and this conclusion was not
confined to the mTses. 1t was
heard even in official and palace
circles throughout the day. The
superstitious looked upon the dis
aster as an omen which the Ital-
ian nation should heed.
Traffic Is Suspended
The greater part of the territory in
Eastern Italy affected by the disturb
ance is mountainous country. In some
places railway tunnels were DESTROYED
and it will be months before rail traf-
tic can resume it's normal sway.
The region most deeply affected eX-
tends for about ESQ miles from north
TO south and about 100 miles from
Mediterranean coast east toward the
Adriatic Sea with the heart of the
most terribly stricken area being in
the valley of the Central Appenines
These mountains are not volcanic
and the earthquake was not of vol
canic origin, although from Naples
1t is reported that Nesuvius has been
showing more than usual activity dur
ing the past twenty-four hours.
Rome appears to have escaped ia.
talities although some persons here
We're injured.
Though the loss of life. and possi-
bly, the damage may be less than il
was in 1908, the area of the disturb
ance greatly exceeds the Messina
earthquake. It covers the whole cen.
trail portion of Italy, extending from
Naples on the south to Ferrara on the
north.
