AlUvllla, Italy, Sept. 20 (De
layed) U.R) The fury of mod
ern war caught Altavllla unpre
pared, and for nine daya its peo
ple lived thirsty and starving in
cellars where at least a hundred
died. Some were burled In the
earth beneath the feet of the
living.
Over Altavllla raged some of
the hardest fighting yet seen on
the Italian mainland, and al
though the Allied forces oc
cupied the town Sunday, the
citizens did not dare come out
of their wine cellars until today.
Bewildered, Shocked
They were bewildered and
shell-shocked, those Italian civil
ians who suddenly found their

service group headed by a chap
lain, I talked to over SO in
habitants today amid shell-
pocked houses and the bodies of
mules and pet dogs and cats
which had been caught In the
streets by rifle and shellfire.
They agreed that at least 100
died from wounds and some
hunger as they huddled in the
cellars, listening to the criss
cross fire over their heads and
the muffled sounds of conflict
when Allied and German patrols
battled overhead with bayonets.
They did not dare to venture out
for food. They lived on the little
they had on hand.
Few Had Meat
Most ate such local products
as cactus pears or corn. A, few
who had a chicken or pig
around the house when the
fighting started, fared better,
but most had taken their live
stock away.
The remaining Inhabitants
were too hungry to show the
longing for a cigarette which Is
typical of Italian refugees in
newly-taken cities. They wanted
only food, especially candy and
chocolate.
They said they had burled
their dead in the cellars as best
they could.
A church In Altavllla was un
damaged. Special services were
held there this morning to com
memorate the deliverance of
the populace.
