The “Daily Telegraph's” Istanbul correspondent says the latest reports ■' from the devastated area describe dreadful havoc and indicate that many bodies are still being dug up from the ruins. A majority of the victims are women and children, as all able-bod-ied men were working in the fields when the earthquake began. The centre of disturbance apparently was in the village of Akpinar, of which only a heap of ruins remains. Fifty thousand people are camping in the open tonight because their homes are destroyed or from a fear of further shakes.
