DISTURBANCES SLIGHT But

STRICKEN POPULACE FLEE IN
TERROR AND LIVE IN
THE OPEN.
Rain and Cold Make Suffering In
tense-Much Money in Sight
For Relief

ROME, Jan. IA renewal Of
seismic disturbances early today
served TO bring terror TO the peo-
pie In parts Of the district that was
visited by the heavy earthquake
last Wednesday.
Although the shocks were light.
buildings which had been cracked
and were lettering from the effects
OF the FIRST disturbance were COM
pleteIy raxed. In AVexxano and
Sors, the towns which suffered
most from the disaster, the people
left the temporary shelters In
which they are living and took
refuge IN open places.
Rain and extremely cold wealth
or IN some parts Of the district are
hamperinu badly the work Of
rescue. This is particularly true
OF sora, where a cold rain fell
Saturday night and today. In many
OF the towns which were thrown
down by the earthquake u is
feared there are stili living per-
sons beneath the debris and that
unless they are eStrieated soon
they will perish.
Latest reports received IN Rome
increase rather than decrease the
aggregate OF the casualties and
the extent Of the damage done.
In the department Of the Abruzxi
alone II 10 estimated that 10000
persons met death.
The Italian government has ap-
propriated St,ooo. 900 for the relief
work, and King Victor Emmanuel
has donated $4,000 for the aid
OF children abandoned by their
parents or made orphans by the
disaster. Relief supplies are pour
