plekely wrecked or rendered un-

homeless ranged from 100000
upward.
Due to the fact that SO many
buildings are weak and tottering,
furnishing q new danger to
human life, the authorities forbid
the populace Of the towns In the
stricken area to remain within
the confines Of the municipalities
at night. They are being cared
for In temporary camps in the
open country.
While the disheartening long
rows Of bodies were being in

from piles Of debris, dread Of fur

At least 5000 Of them owned

IN the IS seconds Of nightmare
brought on by the temblores.

The latest checkup on the casu-
alties and property damage
wreaked by the greatest catastro-
pne In Italy since the Messina OBJ
liberation % years ago, leaves no
doubt that the province of Avel.
limo this time was the greatest
sufferer. Official reports place
the number Of dead there at 1926
and the number Of injured at
10000 with 5000 homes wrecked.
