killed in towns near Rome, according to
reports.
Relief work is already under way
and it is stated that King Victor Em
manuel will himself visit the most se
verely sitricken districts art the earliest
possible moment.
Premier Takes Charge of Relief
Premier Salandra has personally ta
! ken charge al the relief "work. He lias
established quarters in the home office
from which he will direct the rescue
work in the earthquake district. Special
■trains with doctors, medicines, ambu
lances and nurses have already been
dispa/tched and government officials
have been given carte blanche to pro
vide all noceesaries to the stricken peo
ple.
Queen Helena has expressed deep
sorrow at the fact that she is still
obliged to remain in 'bed, owing to the
recent birth of a princess, as she ard
ently desired to go personally and give
succor to the victims. The Duchess of
Ao?ta has gone to Monteroduni, where
sb# has installed herself as a hospital
nurse for the wounded.
Pope Would Visit Scene of Disaster
Pope Benedict is awaiting a report
from Monsignor Sagni, Archbishop of
Aquila, on the gravity of the situation I
and the probaible loss of life. He has
expressed a desire to go to the spot if
his presence is necessary to encourage
and comfort the distressed.
The anxiety concerning the province
of Potenza seems unnecessary, as the
latest reports say that, while the earth
quake damaged buildings there, it
caused no loss of life. The greatest
injury occurred in the villages around
the extinguished volcano Vulture.
Director Frfedlander, of the Interna
tional Voleanological Institute, at Na
ples, says the origin of the earthquake
is geological and not volcanic, with its
epicentrum in the valley of the Garigli
aao river. The registration of the
earthquake at the observatory lasted
for forty seconds and was so violent
that the needles broke. Veseuves, ac
cording to correspondents in that dis
trict, has shown no signs of unusual ac
tivity.
Killed in Hospital's Collapse
Part of a hospital in Aquila col
lapsed as a result of the earthquake.
Several of the inmates were killed and
a number injured At Salmona, south
east of Aquila, the barracks of St. Dom
inio tumbled down, killing five soldiers.
Advices received here from Subiaco, 33
miles northeast of Rome, report that
the cathedral there is in danger of
falling.
BESSINA'SIESIRUCIION
PARALLELED AT AVEZZANO
, By Associated Press.
Home, Jan. 14.—The fate of Avez
zano, sixty-three miles east of Rome,
and the surrounding Abruzzi country,
called the Italian Switzerland, and
which has "become one of the most fer
tile lands of Italy, has plunged the
whole country into the deepest mourn
ing. In Phis section, whieh suffered
most severely from the earthquake of
yesterday, there seems to have been a
repetition of the earthquake disaster at
Messina. It is in part a rocky and in
aiccessilble country and practically a"
communication has 'been interrupted. A
train which should have arrived in
Rome yesterday morning from Aquila
has disappeared and so far it has been
impossible to trace it.
Despite the i'aet that communication
even by carriage roads has been inter
rupted, King Victor Emmanuel, not
withstanding contrary advice, intends
to attempt to reach the place of disas
ter by automofoile.
News received here from Arpino,
I thirty miles south of Avezzano, says
that forty persons were killed there
and 110 wounded. The Cicero tower
at Arpino in memory of the great Ro
man orator born there, collapsed as a
result of the earth shook.
The under prefect of Sora, twenty
five miles south of Avezzano, telegraphs
that half the town has been razed. Ho
implores for assistance.
