ONE VIEW OF WAR And the Question of the Mother of the Slain Soldier Boy When I but consider the word war I feel a shock, as if one spoke to me of witchcraft, inquisition, some dead and distant thing, abominable, monstrous, unnatural.

A | thousand of the dead, it is stated, are; buried under the ruins of the cathedral. | The entire population of Ortucchio ( numbered about 2,500. The village of , A'inort, in the same region, is also | reported as being completely destroyed.

The loss of life and damage to property in these places is equally as ■ | groat, but the needs of the sufferers ' have received far less attention, r Lamentable Scarcity of Food r Soldiers have arrived at several of 1 these places to aid in the work of res • cue, but there is a lamentable scarcity '' j of food for both troo; s and the people. 1 ' • The temporary shelters provided are j | also inadequate to protect the people ' j from the increasingly cold weather. r Paterno, hijjh up on the mountain Beware of Imitations ■ > r | Our "HOUSTON CLUB" W?lEP|||§ Derby is being imitated and to make sure that you JL get the original creation (as illustrated) be sure 1 that you get it here.

Less than 200 persons have been saver out of a population of 2,000 and not a single house remains stand ing. All are shapeless ruins. 1 Along the main road from i'aterno to 1 Pescina traffic has ceased except for a few motor ears carrying supplies and some country carts which, when en countered, were generally laden with two or more coffins. Sickening Odor From Bodies The flourishing town of Pescina is a mass of ruins from which there is al ready distinctly perceptible a faint sickening odor of dead Tjodies. More | than 4,000 of the people of Pescina are > buried under the fallen buildings. 'Some 1 of the corpses which have been recover j ed lie on the ground at street corners | while others are hastily enclosed in coffins made of the first wood obtain- | able. Although living persons are still be- j ing dug out of the ruins there are only | 150 soldiers at Pescina to assist the \ survivors in rescue work. The few sur- j viving town officials complain bitterly [ I of the government's neglect. They t 1 say no bread has been obtainable since j I Saturday and that the people and sol-1 diers have had nothing to eat but | vegetables brought from neighboring villages. Pescina lost its most famous land- j mark, the sixteenth century castle ofj vhe Piccolomini family, and the house j where the famous Cardinal Mazarin j was born. Condition of Survivors Deplorable 1 The condition of the surviving pop ulation at the town of San Benedetto, near Pescina, is deplorable. Over 4,000 of the inhabitants perished out of a total population of 4,500. Only volun teers from the nearby districts have been engaged in the rescue work. They took out ten living children from among the debris Sunday and to-day they 1 saved a young woman and a 5-month old child. No outside help of any lfind reached San Benedetto until Sunday, although Pescina is only three miles away. The roadway between the two places was blocked as a result of the eruption. Great fissures in the highway testify to the severity of the earth shocks in this district. 1,000 Dead at Celano The town of Celano, northeast of Avezzano and 2,500 feet up in the mountains, lost 1,000 in dead through the earthquake. There are also many I injured and ten thousand persons are without shelter. A majority of them have been compelled to pass the bit | tecly cold nights in the open air be | cause very little lumber has been sent to the place with which to built shel ters. Another severe earthquake was ex perienced at 6 o'clock Monday morning and the people as a consequence are afraid to take shelter near buildings that are still standing.
