The note was couched in vigorous
language. 1t declared that the mis-
sionaIies were carrying on their work
in the interior of China under trea-
ties, which had been violated by the
abductiOns.
1t is understood that Washington

Santiago, Nov. 16 - Strong
earth shocks were felt at 1925
o'clock this morning in the CO.
piapO and La Serena districts,
where great loss of life was suf-
fered in Saturdays earthquake
according to national telegraph
dispatches.
The inhabitants of Santiago were
much alarmed this morning when a
slight earth shock was felt here, the
motion apparently being vertical.
The tremor began at 1:42 o'clock.
The director of private meteor
illogical institute had forecast an
earth movement at o'clock, due to
the CONJUNCTION of the moon and ST.
turn.
Dispatches from Copiapo yeport
the arrival there of a medical and
relief party, bringing a large stock
of food and medicine. The medical
offOcers of the party found num-
ber of the injured lying in the open
air in the vineyards, as the hospital,
which was built in 1848, had been
completely ruined. Other victims to
the number of fifty, mostly aged
persons, were huddled in a motion
picture theater, lacking proper Yen-
tilating facilities. The patients were
in need Of most of the essentials.
Bad In Vallenar
These conditions, however, are
stated to be surpassed by those in
Vallenar, where bodies still remain
beneath the ruins, their decomposi-
tion causing serious menace to the
public health. The inhabitants with
out food, are living in a continual
state of terror, sleeping on the near
by hills, breaking of the pipes has
left the town without water
The news that President Harding
is sending warships to Huasco with
supplies was received here with ex-
pressions of gratitude on all sides.
In spite of the railroad connections
to the north, the quickest means of
communication with the district, ev-
en- in normal times, is by ship, and it
is believed some weeks will elapse
before it is possible to deliver all the
supplies necessary to allay distress.
Much appreciation was expressed
for the offer of assistance from the
American Red Cross, but so fas as
known no decision has been taken.
Announcement yesterday that it had
oeen accepted apparently was due to
nisconstruction of President Ales-
'andri's message of THANKS to Pres

parents themselves. Many have the
idea that the schools are responsible
for children out of school hours. Par
ents assumed that the schools were
responsible for the character of the
students, when parents permitted the
youth to come and go any time of the
