Earthquake Aftermath Leaves Nice and Mentone Signs of Recovery
Dispatches from Nice report the city regaining normalcy after the earthquake scare as minor tremors continue. A plaster collapse during Maes celebrations caused a small panic, but no harm occurred and many visitors rushed to Mentone for curiosity. Buildings in Mentone show danger from aftershocks with two thirds of the town deemed unsafe and thirty houses in Clarise Italy collapsed. An American staying in Mentone slept outdoors two nights, fearing another shock and a hot sea breeze. Estimated total damage remains uncertain with ongoing aftershocks and closures.
