UNDER QUAKE RUINS
ItaIy's Death List Unknown
Thousands Reported
Injured
HOSPITALS CROWDED
sun Obscured by Binding Dust
Manly Small Towns Wrecked All
Classes Render Aid

Rome. Sept. 9.-Italy S. again suf'
fering from an earthquake disaster
the extent of which has not yet been
measured. 1t is known. however, that
hundreds of people have been Killed
and thousands injured.
Many small towns and villages
nave been wrecked and although as,
sistance is being hurried from all
parts of the country to the afflicted
area. there is much suffering for
want of food. medicines and shelter
for the people.
~"Every earthquake disaster is for
italy like lost battle" said EXPIRE
micr Luzzatti after the Avezzano
catastrophe, and this is now repeated
in Tuscany. Though not so great, the
present disaster recalls the distant
tragedy of Messina.
1t is not yet possible to calculate
how many hundred are dead-the list
up to this evening shows close to 400
already reported. There are many
bodies under the ruins, and there are
wounded also under the ruins who
have not yet been reached by the res
cuers. There arc believed to be many
thousands Of injured: the hospitals at
Spezia have already received about
500 and 800 others have been taken
to other hospitals nearby. Improvised
hospitals composed of tents are car
ing for many others--nohody knows
how many. The injured and the home
less are thankful at least that the
weather keeps fair but at night it is
very cold, especially on the mountain
slopes.
All classes are combining in their
efforts to render aid. Monarchists az
we'll as Republicans, Socialists and
Clcricals and even anarchists are
flocking to the scene of the earth
quake from the bigger cties-Spezia,
Florence. Luca and Modcna.
Admiral Solari. from Spczia, was
the first to dispatch medicines. food.
bandagcs and tents. Deputy Chlesa.
former Minister of Aviation. WAS
among the first to reach Fivizzano.
He was followed by Admiral Solari
and Signor Bertini. representing the
Government.
Survivors describe the shock as
terrifying. The air was filled with
choking, binding dust. so black that
the sun was lost to view.
at seemed like the end of the
world terrified peasants say.
The great towers of mcdiaeva
castles were shaken. partially destroy
cd. or seemed to be tottcring to a
fall. The ducal palace at Massa Car
rara, which was the summer resid-
ence of Napoleon'S sister, was Scri-
ously damaged.

100000 JEWS SERVE. IN WAR
Dr.. Max Nordau Says Race Lost &c..
600 Dead in the Fighting
Had 100000 Casualties.

London.-Dr. Max Nortau told the
English Zionist federation the other
day that in the world war the Jews
had furnished 100000 soldiers to the
various armies.
This, he said, was about Z per cent
of the whole number of Jews, pro-
portion equaled by few and surpassed
only, he believes, by the French.
The Jews had lost $4,000 dead and had
about 100000 casualties.
But what had the Jews fought for,
he asked. Even in the advanced and
highly civilized countries of the West,
he continued, huge wave of anti
Semitism was yelling up; in the new
countries that had arisen in the East
the most criminal passions were let
loose against the Jews. In this dark
picture there was. one bright spot, the
British declaration in favor of Jew
ish national home in Palestine.

VALUE OF WEATHER REPORTS
New Service Proving of Much Benefit
to Automobile Owners Where
1t Has Been Tried.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture)
The highway weather service, one
of the new enterprises of the United
States department of agriculture
operated through the organization OF
the weather bureau. is proving of
benefit to automobile owners where
it has been tried. The meteorologist
in charge of the weather bureau office
in Kansas City, Mo-, recently re-
ported:
"The demand for a road reporting
service Is quite general and insisteni
and it will continue so, increasingly
until dirt roads become an anachron
ism. This office established q road OF
highway reporting service April 1 OF
this year and, without eXaggeration
it is equal to the most practical ser
vice which our Office otherwise car
perform. 1t amounts to the direction
of public motor travel, and person,
start or postpone trips as we advise
The highway weather service was
begun as war measure in aid OF
motor transportation and was con.
Quoted with emergency money unit
the end of the. war. Though congress,
made no appropriation for its continu
ance during the present fiscal year
the demand for ii was such that the
department is en1eavoring to continue
it without special funds to meet thu
expense.
