GUATEMALA CITY WRECKED.
Many People Killed by Disaster and
Thousands Homeless.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-Cuate-
mala City, capital of the little Cen-
tral American Republic of Ciliate -
male, has been laid !n ruins by a
series of earthquakes beginning
Christmas Day, and culminating Sat-
urday night In violent shocks. which
completed the work of destruction.
A cablegram to the Navy Department
Sunday said 125,000 people were 1n
the streets without shelter, and that
a number were killed by falling
walls.
Naval vessels in Oentral American
waters have been ordered to the
stricken city to render all possible as-
sistance.
Following Is the brief despatch
which brought the news of the
catastrophe:
"Bad earthquake yesterday, finish-
ed the work of others. Everything
in ruins and beyond description as a
result of last night's shock. One
hundred and twenty-five thousand
people are In the streets. Parts of
the country are very cold and windy.
Tents are needed badly. Quite a
number killed yesterday by failing
walls."
The shocks probably occurred be-
tween '5.57 and 7 o'clock Saturday
Dight. Violent earthquakes were re-
corded at that time by the seismo-
graphs of the Georgetown University
Observatory, and the distance was
estimated at 1.900 miles from Wash-
ington.
Guatemala has been the scene of
dnany disasters. the results of earth -
Quakes. Since the settlement of
the country, to 1522, there have been
more than 50 volcanic eruptions, and
In excess of 300 earthquakes. The
original Guatemala City was destroy-
ed 1n 1641, and 8,000 of the lnhabi=
tants were killed by a deluge of
water from a nearby volcano, which
was rent by an earthquake. The
second capital was destroyed by an
earthquake In 1773. The houses of
the present capital were built low In
consequence of the liability to earth-
quakes. -
Guatemala City is situated on a
plain at an elevation of 4.850 feet
above sea Level. In the•great square
stood the old vice -regal palace. the
cathedral and Archbishop's palace,
and Government offices. The capital
is the centre of 'the trade of the en-
tire republic, which consists in the
manufacture of muellps, cotton
yarns of fine texture, articles of s11 -
ver and embroideries.
ITALIAN CITIES BOMBED.
Raiders Made Attacks on Four Open
Towne.
ROME, Dec. 31.-A large enemy
fleet of alrplanes participated in the
air raid over the city of Padua and
nearby towns on Friday n'ght, when
thirteen persons were killed and sixty
wounded,the majority of the latter
being women. In Padua the bombs
fell In public squares, near hotels,
clubs, and churcbee. and- from the
manner in which the raid was carried
on unusual barbarism and pereonar
bltternese were shown. The raid
was repeated Saturday night, when
three persons were ,kllled and three
wounded.
A bright moonlight favored the
raiders, who operated over a wide
area embracing the cities of TTevfso,
Monte Belluna, Caeteltranco, and
Padua. This squadron first appear-
ed over Padua at 9 p.m., when a
deafening bombardment fairly shook
the city. Explosions began In the
suburbs and gradually approached
the centre of the city. where the
streets, hotels, and public places
were filled with people. One bomb
struck to the 'middle of the main
.quare. opening a huge crater, and
killing one person and maiming
many. Another struck a wing of
the famous Palace of Glustlnianl,
near the St. Antonio Church, where
the body of St. Anthony of Padua
is burled. killing three women, one
of whom happened to be of Aus-
trign birth, and one the wife of. an
Italian officer who had Just arrived
in the city on a holiday leave. The
Carmelite Church and Seminary also
were struck and the oldest house In
Venetia, dating frdm 1160. was
damaged. One of the main hotels
near the central square, and the An-
glo-American club were rendered un-
inhabitable from falling plaster. Two
people were killed outright In front
of the club. A member of one of the
foreign missions visiting the city
while going to his lodgings stumbled
over the headless body of a woman.
Only six soldiers were among the
casualties. The other cities within
the raided area escaped with little or
no damage.

ARIZONA MINE BOSS LAY HELP-
LESS WREN HIS WIFE GuT
TAN LAC. - -
Was Six Feet Tall and Got Down to
Where He Only Wetghtd u6
Pounds.
"1 lay helpless when my wife ordered
our first bottle of Tanlac from El Paolo,
Tex.," writes Harry E. Scott of Dragoon,
Ariz., ander date of November 1511*, in tell-
ing of his remarkable recovery from an ill -1 that had defied the skill of the best
physicians for over two years, to say
t:uthing of his failure to find relief at
leading health resorts.
Mr. Scott's voluntary statement has
the true ring of sincerity and gratitude
and:is unquestionably one of the most re-
markable' ever given in connection with a
proprietary medicine.
Mr. Scott's letter was addressed to C.
F. Moss, a well-known druggist of Ben-
son. Ariz., who has the Tanlac agency for
that town. and was forwarded by Mr.
Moss to the Tanlac offices in Atlanta.
His letter follows:
Dragoon. Ariz , Nov. 15th, 1917.
Mr. C. F. Muss, Benson, Ariz. -
Dear Sir: -As you expressed a desire
to hear more about my, case, 1 will try
and'tell you part of it: I was down and
out hearty all the time for two years with
rheumatism and stomach trouble. and
went to eight doctors, two of whom were
osteopaths. Three of them refused to
take my case. saying it was incurable,
and the others might as well have done ,
so. as they did me no .good. I guess I I
have taken a b rrel of medicines in-'
tt'rnally and a natty. 1 also went to
Hot Springs d out of all that was evert
done.l never got over one week's relief at '
a time.
After going down to one hundred and
sixteen.lioynds- which is very light for a '
s.xfooter- i kept, getting worse until I
couldnit move. even to feed myself. had
no desire to eat and couldn't sleep more
than fwo hours a night. Some bf the
officials of the mine, of which I am fore-
man, would call to see me. then go out and
say. ''Par old Scott has fired his last
man." My wife thought that I woulde
never get out of bed alive, and she knew'
my condition better than anybody else.
At last, when I lay helpless my wife
ordered a bottle of Tanlac from the
druggist at El Paso, Texas; which was
the nearest place we could gef it at that
time. ` One evening about four days after
I I.egan taking Tanlac I ate a fair meal
and enjoyed it. the first in many months.
-By the time I had taken half of the first
.bottle I thought i had a good appetite.
but when 1 finished my second bottle I
could hardly eat enough to satisfy me.
Well, 1 have just finished my ninth
bottle. have gained eighteen rounds and
am hack on the job every day.
1 have converted lots of sufferers to
1 the "Tanlac route" and It affects them
all about like it did me -their stom-
i tich trouble. nervousness and rheumatism
all yield to Tanlac. Mrs. Scott and my-
self are willing tie go bekire a notary and
make affidavit as to the truth of every
statement in this letter, which you are at
liberty to publish and use for the benefit
of others.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) HARRY E. SCOTT.
Accompanying the above was a letter
from the Moss Pharmacy addressed lathe
Tanlac Offices, Atlanta. Ga.. referringin
the highest terms to Mr. Scott as a mein
and .citisen. with the added statement
that both Mr. Scott and his wife were
ready at any time to go before a Notary
Public and swear that Tanlac is the only
medicine he had ever taken that had any
effect on his rheumatism and stomach
trouble.
He also stated he had another, customer.
an old gentleman. who had taken five
bottles of Tanl'ac and had gained twelve
to fifteen pounds and that they were
building up a large business on Tanlac.

German Terms Found Inacceptabls.
LONDON, Dec. 31. -The Belgian
Minister at Petrogard is' quoted by
the exchange telegraph correspon-
dent there sue having declared the
German peace proposals to be Ione-
ceptable. A return to the status
quo ante hellion would not aolve a
single problem of the war, in the
Minister's opinion. He added, the de-
spatch said, that the proposed terms
failed to indicate any means for the
prevention of future conflicts or for
tits removal of Ihe causes which
brought on the present war.
As for the indemnification of Bel-
gium, the Minister pointed out that
this had been promised by Ma
700 Canaditum Mentioned.
