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.
When we hear of cannibals we smile
with pride and proclaim our superior
ity over those savages.
What are savages, real savages—

are destined to fall on a plain, their
heads cleft by a str-jke from a sword or
their breast "pierced by a bullet. Ami
these are young men who could work,
produce, be useful. Their fathers are
old and poor; bheir mothers, who during
twenty years have loved and worshiped
them, as mothers can worship, will
learn in six months or perhaps a year
that the son, tha child, the big child,
brought up with so much trouble, with
so much money, with so much love, was

Avezzano, via Rome, Jan. 19.
|-Grave news reached here to-day from J
j the town of Ortucchio, southeast of thisj
j place, where the earthquake victims
'are reported to number over 2,000. 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.
Tagliacozzo, via -Rome, .lan. 19. —
I Not less acute than the misery and suf-
I feriug of the people of Avezzano is
! that of the inhabitants of the entire
j district to the south in Pescina, San
j Benedetto, Gioji De Marsi and other
• ! towns. 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

side, has suffered probably more than
any oth(jr town in the whole earthquake
region. 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.
