100 Towns Destroyed.


Such details as have come through
leave no doubt, however, that about
100 towns and villages have been de-
molished or nearly wrecked and that
great loss of life resulted.
The destruction caused by the earth
quake is fully as great as has been
feared.
Complete reports of the damage
done and the lives snuffed out from all
but one or two small towns show that
the casualties will reach nearly forty
thousand and that the number Of In
jured probably will exceed 10000.
Flood and famine have added to the
terrible disaster, which brought with
It fire and pestilence. Many of the
small villages that suffered from the
initial quake are now flooded as the
result of the overflow Of mountain
creeks diverted from their regular
course by the earth disturbances. New
tremors were felt in the ruined zone
Rescue work and efforts to clear the
ruins Of the normal school building In
Avezzano were pushed. Throughout
the night workers battled with the
great piles of wreckage by torchlight.
Thousands of persons now have lain
for days beneath crumbled buildings
throughout the earthquake zone.
Some are dead while others still are
living. Many have been removed from
the wreckage and brought to Rome

capital and other cities in Italy.
Victims Die in Fire.
1t is believed many of those caught
In the wreckage were not injured but
persisted from cold and hunger or
were incinerated in fires which broke
out amid the ruins.
The number burned probably was
largest at Avezzano and Magliano-De-
Marsi where fires started and there
was no water to quench them.
Avezzano apparently suffered most
from the disaster. Ten thousand per
sons in that district are said to have
persisted and the entire town has been
leveled.
1000 Killed In Sora.
Sora and Pescina each has 1000
dead, while the fatalities at Ciosi-
marsi reached $500 and at San Bene-
detto 5000. Numerous other towns
report a death toll running from ten
to more than two thousand.
In the stricken districts the people
are camping in the open. Troops are
guarding the demolished or partly de.
molished towns to prevent footing.
Caste distinctions everywhere have
been laid aside and members of the
nobility, senators, deputies and high
officials are working shoulder to Shout

ers In their efforts to rescue the liv-
ing or remove the bodies Of the dead
Halls Military Call.
A phase of the political situation in
the quake is that the call for con-
scripts in the damaged zone has been
rescinded by the military authorities
Automobiles containing members Of
the Roman aristocracy left Rome at
intervals throughout the day, carrying
relief stores to the earthquake vic
tins. The family of the duke Of Tor.
lomina has gone to Avezzano. the dis
trict which Is closely connected with
the traditions Of the ducal house
Prince and Princess Teano, Duke
Geasio Gaetani, who lately has col
lected large sums of money for Bel
gian relief, and the countess of Spail-
Ell, president OF the women's move
ment In Italy, were among those who
went to stricken districts.
Mayor Of Rome Aids.
Prince Colonna, mayor Of Rome, has
arranged to supply all the stricken VII
lagos with oil for Illuminating pur-
poses at the expense of the city Of
Rome. This will enable the rescuers
to work throughout the night.
A refugee arriving here from Mag
liano-diMarsi says 1,500 persons are
dead In that locality and that barely
two hundred persons survived the dis
aster. After the earthquake, he says,
fire completed the work of destruc-
ton.
