REV. w. H FRESHLEY
AGREEABLY SURPRISED
Told Couple Wants to See Him, But
on Arriving ut Church Finds
Congregation There.

Rev w. II. Freshley, who came to
South Bend from Kendallville TO take
charge of the First Church of the
Evangelical association, was pleasant
ly surprised on the occasion of his
last night at Kendallville. He was
called to the telephone and told a
young couple wanted to see him at
once at the parsonage on Monday
night. Expecting TO see some clipping
couple awaiting him at the church for
immediate marriage he hurried over.
He was asked to go into the church
which was in darkness. He was about
TO turn and fly fearing some foul plot
might be on to take his life, when the
lights were suddenly switched on and
he found the church filed with the
members of his congregation.
The retiring pastor was made the
recipient OF many useful and valuable
presents after which the congrega-
ton enjoyed a social time.

URGES A "RED CROSS"
FOR EARTHQUAKE WORK
Pasuuale Villari Thinks Italy Should
Have Body of Specially
Trained Men.
Correspondence Of the Associated Press.

Correspondence OF the Associated Pres.
ROME, March 15.-Although over two
months have passed since earthquake
wrecked a large portion of the Abruzzi
district comparatively little has been
done to start life afresh in the ruined
region. The great desire of most of
the few survivors. however. is to return
once more to their native mounta ins
and put together some humble shelter
for themselves.
At Chappelle, Avezzano and other
towns which suffered most severely
nothing strikes the beholder SO forcibly
as the thoroughness of the deStruc-
ton. The towns are immense, formless
dustheaps. 1t Is easy to understand
how the work of rescue In the early
days was rendered almost impossible
BY the entire lack of ladders. tools or
any instruments which could aid in
disinterring the innumerabls victims.
The venerable patriot and historian.
Senator Pasquale Fil1art, whose fasci
mating books Savonarola and on
Machiavelli have been translated into
many languages. has come forward to
suggest that a body of workers. re-
sembling those trained for Red Cross
work in war, should be thoroughly and
scientifically prepared beforehand in
order that when these recurrent earth
quake tragedies overWhelm one part
or another Of Italy they could be sent
instantly. armed with every appliance
to render assistance that would be
trebled in value by its promptness.
Prof. Eillari recolls that the Japanese,
whose land is also constantly threat
ened by earthquakes, have a perma-
nent commission for the study of
earthquakes and of the best mode of
rebuilding the towns that have suffer-
ed and of avoiding the consequences of
these calamities.
Father Alfani. the director of the
observatory at Florence, in a lecture
lately delivered in Rome, pointed out
that recently in Japan earthquakes
more violent than those of Messina or
Avezzano had occurred and that, thanks
to such studies and precautions, the loss
Of life had been infinitesimal or nom
existent. Senator Villari remarks that
the cost of training and equipping such
4 body of men, though it would be
considerable. would be as nothing in
comparison to the expenditure to which
the nation Is put in repairing. as well
as may be, the loss of life md property
caused by these recurrent misfortunes
