The ladies of the aristocracy, including scme Americans by birth, have taken their places in the hospitals and are helping to nurse the injured.

This committee will work in connection with the general committee of Ttalian ladies, which is ! headed by the wife of Premlier Salan- dva.

Rome, Jan. 16, 10:30 a. m.—The Messaggaro declares that there are no fewer than 5,000 dead at Pascina and 3,000 at Celano and that at Cenchio only 150 people were saved cut of a population of 2,600. At Marsi the dead number 1,000. Most all: the survivors here are wounded, and.they are suffering grievously from want of food and lack of care. Receiving Official Reports. Avezzano, via Rome, Jan. 16, 2:20 a. m.—Official reports regarding the extent of the earthquake disaster are now being received by the authori- ties. They concern towns and villages in the district in which Avezzano is lecated and thus far are as follows: Paterno, completely destroyed ex- cept one house; 1,000 dead out of 00 inhabitants. San Pelino, almost totally destroy- 600 dead out of 1,600 inhabitants. Scurcola, completely destroyed; number of victims not ascertained. Rome, Jan. 16.—Famine and in- !tense cold are adding to the sufferings of the earthquake victims and increas- ‘ing the already huge death roll. Food is in plenty, but its transportation to many of the towns affected is all but impossible because of obstructed roads. Rescue work, prosecuted at the be- ginning with a]l possible celerity, is | now being pushed strenuously for | each hour of delay means death by | starvation or exkaustion for buried | vietims. ;s Attention gradually is turning from Avezzano, the center of the distur- | bance, ard the greatest sufferer, to other and smaller towns, where an al- o most equally large percentages of the %+’ population was destroyed. 1 oy Additional Details Reported. *>" While train loads of wounded and ~~~{njured contin to arrive in Rome, wdditional detaiis of the horror come in, all tendinz to counfirm earlier es- timates of the tremn .nds loss of life.

Just how severely the Marsica dis- tricts suffered, in which Avezzano is located, is best told in a terse tele- gram which Monsignor Bagnoli, bisa- op of the Marsica region, sent to . Pope Benedict. The telegram reads: “The Marsica diocese has been transformed into a great cemetery. Avezzano, Capelle and Paterno are razed and almost all inhabitants dead. " Ecclesiastics, some dead, some wound- ed, “A few villages in the immune, but generally reign: It is an immens tressing catastrophe.” Pope Grief Stricken. The pope, in reply to this informa- tion, telegraphed the folMowing: “Being the father of all the faith- ful, but first of the unfortunate, I am pierced with «&rief by this mense misfortune, “I extend my arms to my unhappy children and am praying for peace % for the dead and comfort for the sur- vivors.” More wounded having been brought to the Santa Marta hospital, which is close to the Vatican, the pope again visited the patients there to comfort . them. To each he gave a medal, Visit Injured in Hospitals. King Victor' Emmanuel and the =, Queen Mother argarita made the “rounds of the hospitals in Rome yes- forday, visiting the injured. The American ambassador, Thomas Nelson Page, will visit the earth- quake district today or tomorrow. The ambassador has agreed with the mayor, Prince Colonna, that the best way for Americans to participate in the relief of the victims is to do so ‘as private individuals, thus avoiding infringing on Italy declination of foreign official assistance. The staff from the American em- bassy visited the earthquake district vesterday and witnessed the work of Tescue. They also visited the camps where refugees are centered and gave “euch help as they could, which was gratefully received. They learned that there were no Americans among the victims, although some are said to have claimed American citizen- ghip, having lived in the United States for a time. Americans Greeted Cordially, The Americans from the embassy were greeted everywhere most cor- dially. Colonel George M. Dunn, the American military attache, motored to Avezzano and returned from that place last night. In speaking of what he had seen, he said: T mever| dreamed of such a horrible situation. i The whole town is ruined, as e\{e}!’y‘ house is down and only three stables - n a “remain intact.

The Duke of Abruzze arrived here last night and inspected the work of rescue. He visited every spot and gave such aid and advice as he could. He expressed the intention of visiting all the villages that had suffered, some which are still cut off from communi- cation. s an instance, news only Teached here today that in the town of Pescasseroli, many persons are luried in the wrecks of houses and that up to the present time fifteen Hodies had been taKen out and eighty injured- persons rescued. The catastrophe at Pencina, south- east of Avezzano, is growing in grav- ity. The victims, according to ‘reports 1eceived from there, now number 4,500. 200 dead, 10 wounded. Whole Village Destroyed. The whole village of Gioja-De-Marsi is reported destroyed. The number of victims there is not yet known At Collorosso there are twenty-four and at Antelpedio forty persons were killed.

Germans Regain Portion of Trenches at Notre Damé De Lorette Which They Lost to Allics January 11. Paris Jan. 16, :45 P. M.—The French official Paris this afternoon, makes no cific reference to the recent heavy fighting north of Soissons. The text of the communication fol- lows: “In Belgium yesterday there was artillery fighting in the region of Nieuport and in the vicinity of Ypres. “From the Lys to the Somme; at Notre Dame De Lorette near Carency, the enemy re-occupied a portion of the trenches he lost to us January 14. At Blangy, near Arras, we have cons tinued to make pwogress. The enemy delivered an energetic attack, ceded by a violent artillery fire, on our positions to the west of La Bois- selle. This attack was repulsed. Allies Obtain Advantage. “Along the entire front from Som- me to the Meuse no infantry engage- ments were reported yesterday. In the sectors of Soissons and Rheims our artillery obtained noticeable ad- vantage at several different points, such as the scattering of a regiment ing an explosion in a German bat- tery; ete. “In the Argonne there was yester- day a rather determined artillery at- tack on our positions at Fontaine Madame.

There was also some heavV. rifle firing, particularly at Tete Faux. “In change.” \lpper Alsace there was no Evacuated By (mmmn& Amsterdam, Holland, Jan. 16, via London,, 6:20 p. m.—The correspon- dent at Oslend of the Tijd says the Germans have evacuated the coast towns as far north as Mariakerke, which ig north of Nieuport, Westende and Middlékerke, and three miles southwest of Ostend. These towns, however, have not as vet been occupied by the allies. PRICE OF WHEAT DROPS. Reports of Movement to Stop Exports Cause Decrease. Chicago, Jan. 16.—Wheat dropped five cents in the first fifteen minutes of today's session of the board of trade on reports that a congressional move- ment was on foot to prohibit exports. May wheat, which closed at $1.45 yes- terday, sold down at $1.40. For a brief time trading assumed an ‘almost panicky aspect. A storm of stop loss orders from ill-protected bulls came on the market and found the pit temporarily without buyers. At the extreme decline several of the larger houses began to purchase on a liberal scale. The result was a quick rally but only to about half the extent of the break. When comparative calm had been restored the May option was steadying around $1.42 1-2, SON WHIPPED, ‘\l()THFR SQUEALS Newshboys Get Into Quarrel and When One Is Licked He Howls For ‘“Ma.” One of the staff of newsboys named 3Jecker, Wwho sells papers at the Ar- | cade and rules the other boys with an iron hand, got into a fraca the result that the rebel trounced the boss to the queen’s taste.
