The village of Bocoarecolo was te tally destroyed and the population fs nce. to-day homeless. Soldiers segrobing - the ruins of a church at Sora found the bodies of twenty nuns who had been crushed to death while in front of the altar in the act of receiving communion. The Director of the Observatory at Rome declared rday that the shock of Ja twice an severe as the quake which destroyed Mes- sina, On Wednesday all the observa- tory instruments were broken.

The other victims are credited to the three | score or more of towns and villages! that felt the effects of the shocks. Just how severely the Marsica dis- trict suffered, in which Avezzano is located, ia best told in a terse tele- | gram from Mgr. Bagnoll, Bishop of the Marsica region, sent to Pope Ben- edict. The telegram reads: | “The Maraica diocese has been | transformed into a great cemetery. Avezzano, Capella and Paterno razed and almost all inhabitants dead. Ec- clesiastics some dead, some wounded, “A few villages in the diocese aro immune, but generally desolation reigns. It is an immense and dis-| tressing catastrophe.” POPE SENDS MESSAGE OF SYM- PATHY TO SURVIVORS. ‘The Pope, in reply to this distress- ing information, wired the following: “Being the Father of all the faith- ful, but first of the unfortunate, I am plerced with grief by this im- mense misfortune. I extend my arms to my unhappy children and am pray- ing for peace for the dead and com- fort for the survivors.” More wounded having been brought to the Santa Marta Hospital, is close to the Vatican, the Pope again visited the patients there to gomfort them. To each he gave a medal, King Victor Emmanuel and the Queen Mother Margarita made the rounds of the hospitals in Rome yes- terday, visiting the injured, of whom numbers are arriving hourly. ‘The American Ambassador, Thomas Nelson Page, will visit the earthquake district to-day or to-morrow. 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 ae private individuals. The kind sympathy, generosity and tact of the Americans, by which they will not infringe on Italy's decision to decline foreign official assistance, though they will still largely contribute as private individuals to alleviate suf- fering; is causing a profound eentl- ment of gratitude. ‘The motor car with the staff from the American Embassy, visited “the earthquake district yesterday and wit- nissed the work of rescue, They saw some of the victims extrieated alive from the ruins and also visited the camps where refugees are centred. ‘They gave such help as they could, which was gratefully received. They inquired about the victims and gained the information that there were no Americans among them, although some are sald to have claimed American citi- zenship as they had lived in the United States for a time. The American automobile was greet- ed everywhere moat cordially, It was the first *mbassy to show tangible sympathy by sending its staff to the scenes of desolation, AMERICAN OFFICER TELLS OF WHAT HE SAW.
