VESUVIUS IN ACTION
NAPLES, Aug. 2.—(LP)—
Mount Vesuvius resumed vio­
lent eruptive activity Monday
after a brief period of com­
parative calm, but It was an­
nounced that no danger was
anticipated.
A stream of lava extending
five-eighths of a mile down
the slope from the » summit
had destroyed such land­
marks as-altitude stakes and
milestones. The lava followed
the contour of a ravine which
was sufficiently large to con­
tain the current flow as it did
last November.
