IN FEAR OF EARTHQUAKE
special oy United Press Wire.

Special by United Press Wire
Naples, Italy, Aug. 12:-Vesuvius,
Mount Etna and Stromboli, three of
the worlds great volcanoes, have
suddenly become active and are
belching forth great clouds of steam
and smoke. Streams of lava are
pouring down the eastern slope of
Mount Etna from two new craters,
threatening the destruction Of Sicil-
ian villages. The whole population
of Naples and of Messina and other
Sicilian villages is in a state Of
terror
Severe earthquake shocks have
been felt at Taranto and Brindisi in
southern Italy according to dispatch
es received here today, increasing the
fears here that gigantic earth dis
turbance is about to shake Italy,
though Naples scientists are trying to
reassure the public.
Enroute from Athens to Naples,
aboard the great steamer Adriaticus,
| personally witnessed the reawaken-
ing Of the three great Italian volca-
noes. Passing through the Ionian
sea the smoke pouring from Mt.
Etaa was visible for miles. The top
of the great cone standing two miles
above the sea was shrouded in a
thick cap of smoke and steam
Dispatches from Catina today said
that two new craters have been
opened on Mt. Etna ON the eastern
side, threatening the destruction of
Casino Del Ingles.
Messina, sixty miles northeast Of
the great vulcano and the scene of
the greatest earthquake in history,
is greatly alarmed. Strombol1, ris-
ing 5000 feet above the sea on one
OF the Litari islands, was giving
forth an angry stream of lava that
poured into the sea and was spouting
forth thin dust of ashes and smoke
as the Adriaticus steamed north
ward. So fan as we could ascertain
through the smoke over the sea, none
OF the small villages at its base had
been harmed
