The Headlines

TOLL OF SLAIN BY EARTHQUAKE NOW OVER 25,000; Death Total Still Rising, with Many Districts Yet to be Heard From. SIXTY TOWNS ARE IN RUINS Destruction at Avezzano, Says King Victor Emmanuel, Surpasses That at Messina. BARELY ONE IN 50 ALIVE Like a Town Ground Up in a Huge Machine, Is Marconi's Picturesque Phrase. SORA NEARLY WIPED OUT Four Thousand Dead There, Says Report -- Few Escaped Death in That Commune. RELATIVES' FRANTIC SEARCH Dig in Ruins Like Demented -- Americans Aid as All Italy Rushes Rescue Work.
