CHILDREN IN ALPS
SOLD AS SLAVES
Youngsters Go TO Highest
Bidder to Work Seventeen to

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND, June T.
Swiss and German writer's are calling
the attention Of the public and the au-
thorities to what is practically slave
market where girls and boys between
the ages Of eleven and fifteen years are
sold" in public to the highest bidders,
at Friedrichshafen. a German town on
Lake Constance
These children, numbering 200 or
more. are brought about this time of
the year by their parents, who are poor
and live mostly in the Austrian Tyrol
and on the Swiss frontier. Swiss and
German farmers examine the goods"
and choose the strongest and healthest
children to work for them throughout
the summer
The prices are arranged between me
farmers and the parents, and contract
is signed. The farmer agrees to give
food and lodging to the boy or girl ne
eneag es and IS to $40 after Ave to six
months work, which is for seventeen to
eighteen hours day. The farmer does
not usually accept any responsibility
concerning the mora conduct of the
boy or girl who has entered his serv-
ice. and whom he treats as farm hand
and on the same footing as his other
employees
This exploitation Of children is per
mtted by the German authorities at
INriedrichshafen, probably on the
grounds that it is an ancient custom.
The town itself is en- fete during the
markets and there are professions Of

MILAN. ITALY, June Professor
Mallada. Of the royal observatory on,
Mount Vesuvius accomplished an ex-
traordinary feat descending into the
depths Of the crater Of that volcano
Since the awful eruption six years ago
numberless attempts have been made
bv scientific adventurers to penetrate
the funnel of Vesuvius, but all I'm vain,
owing partly to the precipitous nature
of the slopes interior but principally
because Of the dense and deadly vapors
Of sulphur and chorc acid gases.
The actual diameter Of the crater Is
bout $50 yards Professor Mallada,
accompanied by an able young expert
named Varvazze. attached to the OBJ
se-vatory. started out at o'clock IN

ments, cameras and a couple Of stout
ropes. one $50 feet and the other 500
feet In length Using the long rope for
the first part Of the descent, they were
covered inside the volcano to a depth
of $50 feet TIL they landed upon huge
iutting crags of lava overhanging an
other great abyss $50 feet lower down.
After exploring on lnlS peIllpuS SlOpS
of 80 degrees amid gigantic masses of
petrified lava. they found a means to
AK their second rope, whereby they
were able to reach an enormous tissurf
created some years ago. when the vol
,cann was suddenly torn asunder, pre-
cipitating an immense mass of the OUT
er cone into the crater, and causing the
partial wreckage OF Messrs. Cooks
funicular station.
The intrepid explorers discovered that
this huge assure extends to the very
shottom of the crater. which they finally
reached at depth of 1000 feet. There
Hhey remained a couple OF hours. Pro-
&essor Mallada was able to take a
number or instantaneous pictures OF
ayalanches and showers OF red hot
ashes which were taking place at the
slime in contiguous parts of the crater
