western Newspaper Union News Service.
London. Jan. 1s.-Eighteen towns
and villages have been destroyed by
the earthquake, thirteen others left
with scarcely building standing. and
twelve more have suffered lesser
damage, the Lloyd's News announces
in 4 dispatch from It's Rome CORE
spondent. Survivors are suffering Sc
sevely, the correspondent says. and In
many places thirty-six hours elapsed
before the first relief corps arrived.
The vast Abruzzi region is almost
devoid of hospitals. the dispatch con-
tinues, and the people still are terror
ixed by almost tncessant earth tre-
mors. Ninety-eight Of these shocks
are said to have been counted in twen-
ty-four hours.
The correspondent asserts that the
Italian government has announced
that. In view OF the present interna-
tional unheaval, no contributions for
earthquake victims can be accepted
from foreign countries, even II they
are neutral in the war.
Rome.-The toll OF death from
Italy's earthquake disaster was
swelled by thousands with the receipt
by Premier Salandra Of reports from
towns which had not been heard from
before. ..t
Startling evidence Of the magnitude
Of the disaster wrought in Sora was
revealed when the rescuers uncovered
700 bodies in only small section Of
the town.
Ths deaths here will number 1000.
Recurrent tremors razed the few re-
naming walls as the, workers bur-
,rowed in the debris. Many soldiers
were reported injured and some killed
outright. Since Wednesday 1874 shocks
have been recorded.
Avezzano's death list is placed at
1900.
More than 5000 deaths were added
to the total by reports from the fol-
lowing towns: a
4 Collarmele. where 100 are reported
dead; Ortucchio. with 2,400: Balsor-
ano. 1000: Morino. 1000; Colslonso.
500; Caniworona. 100. and lizegna, 20.
The total number Of deaths reported
from official and private sources to
date exceeds 10000, but Premier Sa-
landra states that many Of these re-
ports obviously are exaggerated.
In any Of the towns the wounded
are dying from exposure and hunger.
The Messaggero and other Rome
newspapers complain of the lack of or
gai'ization in the relief work, which is
eaid to have led to delay in rescuing
victims. There is also an insufficiency
of supplies. particularly in the remote
districts.
This situation is deplored even by
tire King. who expressed his sorrowful
surprise that persons who might have
boen saved by prompt work have per-
ished in the ruins, while many who
were rescued have been suffering for
seventy 'wo hours from cold. hunger
and thirst
Trains loaded with dead and wound
