FAMINE AND COLD ARE RAISING DEATH ROLL [Continued from Kirst Page.] The need of ine latter ,of whom there are thousands upon thousands homeless and generally penniless, is urgent and the people, from the king down are doing all possible to alleviate their condition. The cold weather, which continues adds to the terrible suffering and temporary buildings of wood are being erected as fast, as pos sible to house the homeless. The list of dead can still only be estimated but from what is known it Is believed that at least 20,000 per sons perished and that twice that number were injured. Avezzano, with probably ten thousand, and Sora, with 4.000 dead, were the heaviest suffer ers. 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 (he Marsica dis trict suffered In which Avezzano is lo cated, is best told in o. terse telegram from Monsignor Bagnoli, bishop of tha Marsica region, sent to Pope Benedict. |The telegram reads: i "The Marsica diocese has been [transformed into a great cemetery. Avezzano, t'apelle and Paterno razed and almost all inhabitants dead. "A few villages in the diocese are immune but generally desolation reigns. It is an immense and distres sing catastrophe." Pope Sends Reply The Pope, in reply to this distressing j information wired the following: I "Being the father of all the faith-' i fill, but first of (he unfortunate, i am! | pierced with grief wilh this Immense i I misfortune. "I extend my arms to my unhappy| children and am praying for peace for the dead and comfort for the survi vors." ■More wounded having been brought to Santa Mart a Hospital which is close to the Vatican, the Pope again visited |th<> patients there to comfort them. | To each ho save a religious medal.

They saw j some of the victims extricated alive from the ruins and also visited the camps where refugees are centered. Col. Dunn Tells Story Colonel George M. Dunn, the Amer ican military attache, motored to Avezzano and returned from that place last night. Tn speaking of what he had seen he said: "I never dreamed of such a horrible, situation. The whole town is ruined as every house is down and only three stables remain intact. Churches, pal aces and dwellings have crumbled to! tho ground. What once were streets are now full of debris to the height of six or seven feet.. "Within a short time the work of rescue will be useless ns all those bur ied under the ruins will be dead. The entire population is extinguished, the people either being dead or wounded in hospitals. "The dead in the ruins compose the greater percentage of the inhabitants.
