in a dispatch from its 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
lied by almost incessant earth tre-
mors. Ninety-eight of these shocks
are said to have been counted in TWEEN
ty-four hours.
he correspondent asserts that the
Italian government has announced
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.
Startling evidence of the magnitude
of the disaster wrought in Sora was
revealed when the rescuers uncovered
roo bodies in only small section of
the town.
The deaths here will number 1000.
Rccurrent 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 164 shocks
have been recorded.
In Antrosano every house was dam

inhabitants were killed Messadalbe

The total number of deaths reported

In II any of the towns the wounded
are dying from exposure and hunger.
This situation is deplored even by
