Lava is pouring down the 'eastern slope of Mount Etna from two new craters, threatening Sicilian villages. Naples and Messina are terror stricken. The Inhabitants are flocking to the churches, offering prayers for the safe ty of the cities.

En route from Athens to Naples aboard a Greek steamer, I personally witnessed the reawakening of the great valconoes Passing through the Ionian sea, smoke from Mount Etna was vis ible for miles. The cone of the volcano, standing two miles above sea level, was shrouded In a thick cap of black smoke and steam. At Messina, 60 miles to the north east, the people are clamoring for the traditional procession to the Madonna Delia Lettera, popularly believed to have often saved them from Mount Etna's wrath. Stromboil Spouts Iiava. Stromboli. rising 3000 feet above the sea on one of the Lipari island, was seen to be emitting an angry stream of lava toward the sea, while spouting ashes, flame and smoke. As far as we could ascertain from the steamer, none of the small villages at the base had been burned. Vapors from Mount Vesuvius cloud ed the bay of Naples when we arrived here. Residents of villages at the base of the volcano ara flocking here. They are trudging into Naples with their goods strapped- upon their backs, flee. tng before what, it is feared, may be anoiner ouioreaic or tne volcano.
