HIDES AND WOOL
NO NEW VOLCANO IN ITALY.
Eruption Noticed Came From Fis-
sure Caused by Quake.

sure SauSSo ny quake.
BY Associated Press.
Rome, Sept. 15.-Scientists say
they do not believe that new vol
cano was created on Mount Pisanino,
near Spezia, during the earthquakes
which began Sept. and continued
until Sept. 8 causing the loss of 500
liyes.
Tongues of flame and smoke or
dust were seen to be emitted from
what is popularity supposed to have
been new crater opened near the
mountain top.
Frank A.. Perrett the American
volcanologist for the Carnegie Insti-
tuition, who occupies station at Mt.
Vesuvius to observe it's operations,
has expressed to The Associated
Press the opinion that no new vol
eano has been formed but that the
earthquake caused displacements of
subterranean strata causing a fis-
sure in the earth's crust and that gas
escaping therefrom was mistaken by
onlookers as the opening Of new
crater. The phenomenon, was not a
new one. Mr.. Perrett said the seis-
mical instruments showed towering
OF the earth level in the earthquake
district previous to the tremors. This
had been observed on other occa-
sions when earthquakes occurred.
This view is shared by Sena tor
Caplellini, leading geologist who
has been interviewed by the Messa-
zero and who says there may have
been an eruption of gas thru fis-
sure on Mount Pisanino and the sup
posed column Of SMOKE above the
mountain may have been caused by
clouds of dust from falling earth.
The tongues Of flame, in Senator
Caple1ini's opinion, may possibly
have been inflammable gas from un-
derground wells Of oil. He said, how
ever, that volcanoes can appear in
dependently Of the structure Of the
earth's crust and that the greatest
catastrophes have occurred from the
appearance Of volcanoes where no.
body expected them.
For example, the geologist con-
tinued Mount Etna rises out Of post
Pliocene strata while the volcanoes
Of the Andes mountains in South
America arise from granite rocks.
Therefore the nature of the Apuan
mountains did not exclude the pos
sibility Of volcano appearing on
Mount Pisanino.

Roy Il. Wasson's interview in the
ships being docked at Seattle and
reagularly soaked with water by a
fire tug to keep them from falling
apart has found its way to Wash
ington, thru Secretary Meredith's Of
flee in the department of agriculture
and elicits the following explanation
from Admiral w, T.. Benson, chair
man of the United States shipping
board:
Replying to your note just re-
| ceived. / have to state that, as Is well
known, when it became necessary to
build ships as rapidly as possible to
meet the war needs of the allies and
Of our own forces, 1t was decided to
utilize every possible eXpedient to
get ships OF whatever type or char
acter Every steel yard was worked
to capacity and composite ships
were built where it was possible, and
even the experiment of building con-
crete ships was tried. In order to
leave no facility untried, many
wooden ships were contracted for,
and over 200 of them were built.
Can Not Now Be Operated.
immediately after the war, when
freights were abnormally high, these
| wooden vessels could be operated to
advantage. Since freight rates have
declined. it has been found impos-
sible to operate these ships to ad-
vantage. and they have been with
drawn from service. Naturally. some
of these ships were on the west
coast, and some in the Gulf of Mexi-
co-most of them were on the east
coast.
Il discovered a few months ago on
careful investigation that the wooden
ships that were laid up under the
care of certain operators were cost
ing the government from $4,000 to
$4,000 per month. l Immediately
worked out a plan Of mooring these
vessels in inland waters and rivers,
and at last account, had 123 Of them
moored In the James river about
thirty-fiye miles up from Hampton
Roads. This bunch cost us certainly
not over 800 per month to take care

Views of Two Soldiers.

An interesting and unusual
glimpse Of two great American SOL
diers-Grant and Sheridan--is con-
tanned in the Childhood Impress
sions' of Princess Cantacuzene, ap-
pearing in the Saturday Evening
Post. The PRINCESS, who was Julia
Grant, born in the White House, a
daughter of Frederick Dent Grant.
the presidents son, writes of the
period when her parents were living
in Chicago and her father was on
General Sheridan's staff. OF her
grandfather, General Grant, who had
just returned froh his tour of the
world. she writes:
He wasn't exactly gay, and
don't remember his laughingl ever,
but the talk between us was very in
teresting. He always took me seri-
ously. / felt promoted and inclined
to live up to my new situation as his
companion and friend. Sometimes he
would pinch by ear or my cheek and
say softly. Juliana Johnson, don't
you cry and it rather teased me.
But generally he held my pudgy,
dimpled hand on the palm of his, and
we learned to count the fingers and
the dinples together; sometimes he
did so. letting me correct him. And
he taught me. cat cradle with u
string. We walked together hand in
hand, silent, frequently, but at other
and he called me habitually my pet
or my big pet which made me very
proud / wasn't at all afraid of him,
for he had a charming, gentle way of
acting always, and tho his face was
mostly grave, now and then sudden
gleamNlit up the eyes and made them
seem to smile in answer to my
chatter.
OF General Sheridan the writer
continues:
II remember many faces vaguely
among my mothers Chicago friends,
but all these were dominated by the
personality ost in view by right of
his military experience, General
Philip H. Sheridan Very different
from my grandfather he was, but
with qualities which won and held
the devotion of those. who served
with him and made him a social
favorite. too. I remember him well,
for his daughter and were play
mates in those days, and her father
would drop in and speak with us on
his way in or out.
