Earthquake Devastates Central Italy

THE terrors of earthquake have recently been added to the unhappy lot of Europe. January 13 a large part of central Italy was visited by a severe earthquake, whole villages being wiped out by the shock. Eight thousand persons perished in one town. Altogether more than fifty thousand were killed, and many thousand injured. A large amount of damage was done to property, many ancient historic buildings in Rome and Naples suffering damage. Panic seized the populace, and in many places thousands are camping out of doors in fear of further disaster.
