LAVA POURS DOWN

Vesuvius, Etna and Strom
boli Again Active, Threat
ening Many Villages.
By Henry Wood.
Naples, Aug. 12. (U. P.) The great
volcanoes, Vesuvius, Etna and Strom
boll, have suddenly become active, .and
are belching steam and smoke.
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. Tarante and Brindisi
have felt tremors and there is increas
ing fear that a gigantic earthquake is
about to shake Italy, though scient
ists are taking every means to reassure
the public 4
Smoke Tislble for Miles.
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.

anoiner ouioreaic or tne volcano.
