READY TO FALL
NAPLES, via Fome, Feb. 8, 10:10
r. rn, It Was learned today that the
historic monastery of Monte Casslno,
near thta city, where St. Benedict In
&29 A, Di rounded the religious order
hcarlnR his name, was damaged tad
ly by tho recent earthquake. The li
brary Is almost at the point of col
lapse. In Emperor William's hall, so
called from the visit, paid by the em
peror to tho monastery in 1904, there
Is a large fissure about 200 feet
long. The right wing of the build
ing is almost detached from the
main structure. This wing stands at
tho edge of an abyss into which it
would bo precipitated, owing to Its
weakened position, should there bo' a
recurrence of tho earth shocks.
Alarm is felt for tho safety of his
toric art treasures In tho monstery.
In tho library. Is a priceless codex.
'Tho threatened right wing contains
many objects associated with early
Christian era, and with the middle
ages. , . , ,
The government has sent, engineers
to Monto Cassino to undertake .tho
restoration, of the monastery. The
modern building materials will be
used for tho first tlrao.for strengthen
ing the nnclent structure.
Tho monastery is used as an eccles
iastical training college, which now
has 300 students. News of the dam
ago to tho monastery has been sup
pressed hlthorto to avoid spreading
alarm among tho relatives of these
students.

crecy and mystery. Take away these

Hence the frnntlc efforts of those who
have built fortunes through the ex

tho public to know tho drugs It is
