MT. KILAUEA NEARINCSTATE
 OF ERUPTION

HILO, Hawaii, May IS. - Mount Kilauea, a volcanic crater on the eastern slope of Mauna Loa, about 400 feet above sea level, is said to be rapidly approaching state of eruption. Lava in the crater has ris- en more than seven feet this week, and is now close to the mouth Of the pit. Vivid flames are playing over the surface of the molten lake of lava day and night. The effect of the flames during the hours of dark ness is wonderful and awe inspir- ing. They at times rise high into the air, and at other times seem to roll out over the sides of the crater, hungrily licking the rough mountain side. Great throngs are coming here from Honolulu to view the strange spectacle. Some apprehension is be- ing left because of possible danger to this city of 1000 souls, from violent or prolonged eruption.

ALLIED DEBT
 COMMISSION
 READY TO ACT

WASHINGTON, May 18.-The Al lied Debt Commission announced today that it had completed it's preliminary organization, and collated the neces- sary data preparatory to commencing negotiations with the debtor nations The two largest debtors of the United States are Great Britain and France. It is thought that the French repre- sentatives will soon reach here, as official notification has been for warded to the Qua D'Orsay conveying the intelligence that the commission is ready to start business. A similar situation exists as to Great Britain. The opinion is expressed that there should be no further delay in the for eign countries sending their represen- tatives, as the economic experts at Genoa will doubtless be released from their duties this week, due to the abortive end of that meeting.

.PROPERTYLOSS
 FROM FLOOD
 MANY MILLIONS

BATON ROUGE, La, May 1S.--Lat- est estimates from the flooded areas in this state and Mississippi, place the total area of land covered by the flood waters of the Mississippi River as over fifty thousand square miles. The flood has reached stage which makes it the worst in the known his tory of the river It is impossible to estimate the damage as yet This can not be done for months to come, and until after the waters have receded. Thousands of families are bankrupt, their crops destroyed, their homes de- molished, their stock killed, and are now living in makeshift shelters, de- pendent upon the charity of the re- lief organizations for the very neces- sites of life. The officials of the Red Cross are working indefatigably to keep the refugees clothed, fed and sheltered. Their labors have heen prodigious, but the results in the sav- ing of human life and amelioration of misery have been great. The proper ty loss will run into the millions.

 ON ARMY l40,00O MEN

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-The long continued deadlock in the sub-com- mittee of the Senate Appropriations Committee over the authorized strength of the army, appears to been ended. Late last night the com- mittee, after a prolonged session re- ported that it had agreed upon an army of 14O000 men. The officer strength for force of this size would be 12,530. It is now probable that the full committee will take similar action, and friends of the measure predict that the Senate will accept the committees decision. al- though he, measure will not be passed without opposition.

ALASKA CARGO ON SCHOONER
 WHICH SANK

SEATTLE, May IS. - The steam schooner Ozmo which went on the rocks near Cape Blanco on the Ore gon coast early yesterday morning. was owned by the Northern Conner cial Company, and was on her way here from San Francisco, to complete her cargo for Bethel and other Kusko- kwim river ports. All this section of Alaska depended on the OzmO for it's supplies. She had four hundred tons of cargo on board when she foundered and considerable other freight was awaiting her on the Seattle docks in cluding a large consignm ent of freight which the Alaska Road Commission was sending in to assist in road work in the Kuskokwim district during the coming season.
 Latest advices state that the crew of twenty-five men stood by the boat from 3:30 when she struck until II a. m. At that time there was ten feet of water in the hold and heavy fog had settled down on the ocean, making any further attempts to stick by the boat dangerous to the lives of the crew.

S.. Geological Survey since the pub Iication of the bureaus preliminary report last year, were being pre- pared for publication. The copy is already on the press, and advance sheets of the report are now avail able, while the pamphlet itself will be ready for distribution in the near future
 While the whole of the report is not yet made public certain salient features of it have been disclosed The governments oil geologists say that the Cold Bay Field contains in dications of a most encouraging na- ture which tend to the conclusion that it will become a pSoducing field
 Certain structural features, plain ly evident in the geology of this district, and which probably occur in other portions of the Alaska Pen- insula, are highly favorable for the accumulation of oil. These predomin- ant features referred to by the ex- perts are of such dimensions as to indicate that the fields in the Cold Bay section may contain large pools. The oil seepages found here show striking relation to the anticlines, and it is along the anticlines that
