BRITISH GOVERNMENT
REDUCES PAYMENT
About Half a Million Names Dropped
from the List of Unemployed Who
Are Given a Weekly Dole.

London, Aug. Correspondence of the
Associated Press The payroll of the
unemployed to whom the government is
making weekly dole has been reduced
by about 100000 names since May, last
when the government drew its purse
strings tighter. From November to May
the weekly benefits were paid to about
100000 persons. Payments are now
being made to about 100000
At first the amount paid the men out
of work was SO a week, S. to women, SO
to boys and $3.50 to girls.
There were smaller grants for chill.

draw nearly $ll week, which was more

When the joyful news of this pay for

ers Immediately resigned their jobs and
came upon the government, according to
testimony in the courts, while Others
who never had done nor wished to dc

position of gathering unexpected mamma
from the heavens.
Instructions from the government to
disbursing officials were to lean toward
the side of generosity and this policy
appears to have prevailed.

Correspondence of the Associated Press
The awful scenes which prevailed when
the volcano of kalut in Java burst into
eruption on May 20, destroyed 20 villages
and caused loss of life estimated by
some at $4,000, are wildly described by
Miss 4. w. Cranen, who has arrived
here from Sourabaya.
A river of boiling mud and lava, which
overwhelmed the village of Blhar, where
Miss Cranen was staying, she says, was
10 miles wide and four feet deep.
The first symptoms of the coming
eruption, Miss Cranen said, were sounds
like thunder and vivid flashes in the sky.
Enormous boulders were flung from the
volcano into the lowlands around it for
immense distances. There was ptchy
darkness owing TO rain of ashes.
Then came warning to the occupants
Of the hotel at Blitar that the river Of
larva and mud was approaching. 1--WE
were almost beside ourselves as to what
to do to avoid hideous end" she said.
Twenty-four Of those staying at the no.
tel escaped death in the boiling mud by
fleeing aboard a motor car driven by
the wife Of the assistant resident com
missioner.
According to Miss Cranen, the river Of
mud ran for three hours and wrought
fearful damage to life and property. It
covered the railway station, buried the
locomotives and cars, and destroyed vir-
tually every house in Blitar, Wlingi and
Srengat
A Mr.. Boekhont managed to rescue
his wife and some of his children, but

WORK AS A CURE.
Tuberculous Soldiers at Training Centers
Show Improvement Under Treatment

Washington, D, c., Aug 2.--The fed
eral board for vocational education has
established training centers for tubercu-
lous soldiers in different parts of the
country One of these is at Rutland,
Mass. Forty ex-seryice men are tax :
ing training at the hospital work shop.
Mathematics, English, drafting, garden
ing. poultry raising bookkeeping, short
hand, chemistry and gas engines are
among the favorite courses for the CON
yaleseents, while diyersional occupations
are provided for the bed patients. 1t is
interesting to watch the temperature and
pulse approach normal when the tuber-
culous men begin the curative work, but
it is more interesting to note the change
in their morale and their awakened am
billions.
