SCORES KILLED IN
BULGARIA QUAKE
Many Towns Shattered-Sofia
Inhabitants Flee in Fear to
Open Country

Sofia, Bulgaria-Death, restitution,
insanity stalked through southeastern
Bulgaria in the wake of series Of
earthquakes which have devastated
the region.
More than 100 bodies were. counted
in Philippopolis and the neighborhood.
How many were buried beneath the
ruins was not known. To calculate
the number of injured, many of whom
were in a critical condition, was i'm
possible as the population fed panic
stricken to the countryside. Almost
100000 are homeless.
1t was believed that Philippopolis,
which is the second city in size in
Bulgaria, would itself furnish the
highest casualty list of the places af.
fected. Only the higher part of the
city, about quarter of a mile across,
was unchanged. The remainder of
the city was destroyed or too danger
GUS to occupy. Several churches and
. hospital crumbled in ruin.
In many villages in the region only
. few houses stood gaunt among the
ruins. These places included Papazil,
Kalatchi, Baltadzi, Chakireto, Manole,
Tressil, Alibakovo, Belozem and Saty.
begovo.
The people were in restitution.
Many were driven insane by what they
have witnessed in the last few days.
Hills were moved. Their countours
were altered. Underground reservoirs
broke through in places and water and
sand gushed forth.
Bridges were shattered. The rail.
way tracks in many places were twist
ed. Roadbeds sunk six feet in spots.
These were being repaired but some
railroads remaon.

The negro sexton of little church
in the South got up on the roof and

He didn't like to acknowledge that
the steep slant of the roof alarmed
him, so he climbed up toward the

Hello, Sam! Looks like it's ticklish
work for you, climbin' toward hea-
