and this section early Sunday morning
had been brought to. the temporary
moreue in the county courthouse at
an early hour tonight. In addition 10
the ton in this city, sc were reported

!. 100000, the people of Corpus Christi
tonight, SO hours after the passing OF
= the storm. seemingly were just COM
ing to O fun realization of the fright"
full catastrophe through which they
had passed. Every industry in the
city is prostrated, business at COM
plete standstill, communication OF all
kinds badly shattered and the food
and Housing problem very acute.
The Al known dead in Corpus
Christi and the reported Sc victims
near Portland are not expected to ne
anywhere near the total death toll
but the, list was not expected to be in
creased further tonight, as with the
coming of darkness searching parties
which are securing the city and the
shores 'of Corpus Christi and Nences
Bay suspended for the day. Allowing
:. for; applications. and many storm VIC
Tins probably have been reported at
least twice, from different source, the
general belief here tonight was the
total number of dead in the Immediate
vicinity of Corpus Christi will reach
about IS. Many victims have. been
buried without having been ident fled.

army of more than 10000 volunteers.
Italians flocked to him from every
where. Soldiers and sailors deserted
from the army and navy and went TO
him. Italian sailors jumped from the
war vessels in the harbor at Fiume
and swan ashore. 1t is stated that
the American troops stationed n the
city have been withdrawn and British
and French troops have been ordered
to remain in their quarters so as to
avoid clashes. Business houses, fac
tories, ETC., have been closed. Premier
Nitti, of the Italian government, has
denounced d'AnnunZio as a mutineer
who is threatening the ruin Of Italy.
The peace conference has decided for
the present to leave the whole m; tier
with the Italian government to he
dealt with as an internal affair. There

thing is settled and possibly q revo-
