Monastir. April o1.-(By The Asso-

Tuesdays explosion is being carried on
! with the greatest difficulty. Lack Of
water is hampering the task of putting
out the numerous fires. while gas
fumes are hindering the soldiers and
gendarmes who are searching fer VIC
tins.
Two hundred bodies have been re-
covered. and there is little likelihood
than any more persons viii be rescued
alive. as the cries of the wounded amid
the wreckage. which were heard
throughout Thursday now have died out
altogether.
Unable to Estimate Dead
It still is impossible to estimate the
total number of persons killed but sew
eral hundred are wounded. many of
them hopelessly. Great numbers of
them have been removed to the Ameri-
can hospital which, somewhat removed
from the scene of the explosion. es-
capped with slight damage.

Only Minarets Withstood Shock
Most of the houses of the city,
flimsy affairs of wood and terra Gotta,
collapsed, burying their occupants in q
mass of debris. The ruined area Gov

structures which resisted the explosions
were Turkish minarets. which were
built of solid masonry. The American
missionary school. some distance from
the catastrophe, is reported to have
escaped damage, but the students scat

earthquake had visited the city.

Russians Argue Case

property to foreigners says:
The Russian government will be will

As 3ustifying their contention that
the allies could not. as matter of
right, demand compensation for prop

slavery in the United States. where
neither Americans nor foreigners were
compensated. They also cite the adop-
ton Of prohibition in America as case
where no compensation was given to the
producers of alcoholic drinks.

BATTING THOUSAND
Does Not Deviate From His Policy OF
Giving The Limit On Automobile
Thieves

Judge c. Moreno Jones is still bat
ting a thousand. Several times since
he has been on the bench in the crimi-
nal court Of record, he has stated that
when defendant is found guilty OF
stealing an automobile or pleads gull
ty to such a offense, that he is entitled
to five years. it is said.
The fact that he is continuing to adj
here to this policy was demonstrated
yesterday morning following pleas OF
guilty from John Sanders to breaking
and entering store at MillvieW and
later the theft of a Ford automobile
belonging to Dan Hall in which he at
tempted to leave the county, and the
plea from Manuel Peterson, Sanders
accomplice in the robbery, to breaking
and entering.
He imposed sentence of five years
on Sanders for stealing the auto and
two years for breaking and entering
the store, while Peterson drew five
years for breaking and entering. Both
were negroes. They will serve time
