News Comes In Slowly.
Associated Press Dispatch
Rome, Jan. 15.—News from
earthquake stricken districts
Italy still comes in slowly,
enough is known to show that
disaster closely approaches that
which befell Messina six years ago.
Estimates of the killed and injured
vary from 25,000 to 50,000 and
probably will be days before exact
figures are available.
Avezzano, 60 miles east of Rome
and Bora, 15 miles south of Avez-
zano, were the worst sufferers so
far as loss of life Is concerned but
about alxty towns and villages in
all auffered either total demolttloa
or serious damage.
Report* today from the north say
the shtfek was felt as far as the
Swiss frontier and that lo the Alps
in that region, there were numerous
avalanches, the result of the earth-
quake. This would make it appear
that the earthquake extended
throughout the entire length of
Italy with the exception of the ex-
treme southern end.
The Italian government and peo-
ple have responded quickly to the
call for help from the stricken peo
pie. Thousands of troops have been
sent to the scene' as the work of
rescue and relief is going on night
and day. Supplies of food, cloth-
ing, blankets and medicines have
been dispatched by train where
possible and by motor cars where
tho railroads are blocked.
The central committee of the Red
Cross was quick to act, having or-
dered all its members to join in
the relief work at the scene of the
disaster.
Troops have been sent by the
government wherever needed and
they are ordered to assist in exca-
vating the ruins, to build wooden
buts for survivors, transport the
injured and guard property.
King Victor Emmanuel, according
to advices reaching hero, is tireless
in his endeavors to spur on the
rescue work and in encouraging
the survivors.
Messages reaching here from along
the line from Romo to Tivoli, Car-
coli and Avezzano, say that every-
where the king passes tho- people
rush to greet him and to express
their gratitude. cq The king, it is
stated, asks all to abandon unnec-
essary formalities and to desist from
inappropriate demonstrations. His
only wish, he says, is to visit the
ment; Gen. McIntyre, chief of
bureau of Insular affairs, and oth-
ers. ,
"I have noticed lately,” said Mr.
Martin, "after eulogizing (he Filip-
inos and the policy of the United
States towards them, a tendency in
this country to quibble and split
hairs on the little things in connec
tlon with this Phlllppino question,
It is a great problem and the great-
er because the whole world is watch
lng our policy there.
“Let me offer a warning not to
yield to temptation to which other
great governments of the world
have yielded in the past—a tempta-
tion to exploit. Be strong. Do not
succumb to temptation to exploit the
Philippines.’’

The people
"heur” make a
crowd, which could not be better de-
scribed than was done by one of the
feuilletonists t>f the Vossische Zei-
tung:
“Oyer the maze of streets hangs
a heavy and wet evening, in whose
mists the street lamps look like so
many dying suns surrounded by
sheafs of red rays. Under them
moves a busy crowd and bustling
traffic—not quite so large as at
other times. The stream of human-
ity on the sidewalk seems Jndefa-
tigueable—inexhaustible. It Is
made up of business people follow-
ing their dally habits, of soldiers
who carry arms in white and black
slings, officers in smart ..uniforms,
and women.
Over it all breaks of a sudden
the deep metallic voice of the church
bells, calling upon man to look
from the things on earth to those
above. It is nine—the hour of the
war prayer.
"Through the main portal of
the church the crowd begins to en-
ter—large families mostly and now
and then a venerable couple But
through the small side doors enter
hundreds of women—the timid the
lonely.
Dark still reigns in the pompous
church interior, hiding the glisten-
ing mosaics and th© other stony
splendor. But the senses establish^
ed that the church is crowded long
before it is time for the ..service to
commence—crowded with these who
seek comfort and consolation.
“The clock strikes nine—the war
prayer hour has come! Of a sudden
"bts in the vaults above flash
up, filling the interior with a light
as strong as that of day. And with
this comes the mighty flood of the
organ, rising and rising until it has
reached a sublime and overwhelm-
ing volume in *GIory be Unto God
on High.’
Light floods the church and in
it faces and expressions may be
studied. It is surprising, though
easily explained, that three-quarters
of those present are women. There
are old and wrinkled mothers; pale
and sad girls, youHg and beautiful
women. And each of them brought
her own sorrow’, her own troubles to
the holy place; all of them seek
refuge from some anguish or im-
pending fate in this abode of spiri-
tual elevation and sublime un-
worldliness.
"Women, women, nothing but
women. Out on the field of the
enemy fights a ’united people of
brothers,’ and here within cold walls
suffers, so it appears, a ‘united
people of sisters.’
"Out on th% street they are all
strangers to one another. Here in
the house of God they stand one
another near. In the silent throng
beat a thousand pulses, but in tho
tempo of a common misery and a
common longing for consolation and
a lessening of their burden. There
is the mother who trembles for her
son, the wife who fears for the life
companion and»the father, and the
girl who prays for the future hus-
band.—
“The man in the pulpit utters
kind and timely wmrds, and when
the organ peals forth: ‘We come be-
fore Thee with Prayer*’ they all
answer with resignation and decis-
ion to accept their fate as a lot
cast by the Supreme. When, the
last tones of the organ die, it is
no longer fear that throngs the
senses but reverence and consola-
tion.’’

Guthrie,'Ok., Jan. 15.—Injunc

Okmulgee Gas Company against the
of Okmulgee county and others was
to be heard in federal court here
today. The gas company seeks to
restrain the ptate and couty from
enforcing the Carr act which re-
quires the taking of gas ratably

He said the army had practically
no motor trucks for transport or

guns.
"The difficulty appears to be”

department, that no satisfactory
motor truck has vet been developed
in the United States." Despite this,
he said, Canada had bought a num

"apparently thinks them entirely
sufficient for use in the field.
Senator Lodge stated there was
apparently a sufficient number of
mines for harbor defense.- but that
there was a shortage of cable and
mine planters.
As to the navy, Senator Lodge
said more destroyers were needed,

in submarines. The Worst defi-
ciency, he continued, was in scout,

only three against 74 in England,
