10000 HOMELESS BUT
 LESS THAN 100 DEAD
Isola Del Liri, Italy, Suffers Big Property Loss from Earthquake
 But Casualties Are Light

lsola Del Liri. Italy, January 17.-This fiourishing manufacturing town to the south of Sora contains population of nearly 10000 persons, all of whom are 100 dead here, however. As the result Of the earthquake tents have been pro- vided for some of the homeless and bread and meat is being distributed.
 Some of the largest mills have been completely destroyed, and the twelfth century church of San Domencio, three quarters of a mile north of the town. which occupied a commanding position, is a heap of ruins. Through the frame of the main door can be seen near the high altar the statute of the patron saint of the church, apparently uninjured. Above the debris in the Church of the Crucifixion, which was entirely destroyed, hangs the undamaged crucifix.
 Throughout the country was shaken by the esrthquake, and additional shocks of more or less violence have followed the main disturbance, causing the people to take to the open.
 There scarcely is village within miles of Sora that escaped damage. Even in places where very few persons were killed or injured general misery has resulted as the authorities, fearful that the dwell- ing houses have been rendered unsafe, have compelled their occupants to vacate them. This is particularly the case at Veroli a summer mountain resort, where. despite the fact that only two persons were killed. the entire populace is living in wooden huts.

GERMAN ADVANCE NOT IMPORTANT, IS CLAIM
French Embassy Dispatches Say AL lies Withdrew From SOissons on
 Account of Rising River

Washington January 17.-Foreign office dispatches to the French embassy today discounted the importance of the recent German advance at Soissons. declaring the French troops still covered the town and merely had withdrawn to the left bank Of the river because the rising of the stream had made it impossible for reinforcements to come up.
 The cableeram said:
 The recent German communique throws into relief the attack which they de- livered last week north of Soissons. The French troops engaged about Soissons did not reach the number of three brigades, and they had been withdrawn to the left bank of the Aisne because of the flood which had broken several bridges. We thus no longer had the means of sending them endorsements and they withdrew without being pursued, continuing to cover the town.
 As for the situation of the French army 1t is a question of a retreat of some 1900 meters on front of five kilometers, caused by the floods of river"
