Mt. vesuvIus in ERUPTION AGAIN.

Naples.-Mount vesuvius again is
in eruption. The phenomenon began
with two mild shocks of earthquake
which were followed by the collapse of
the eruptive cone. 200 feet high, which
stood inside the crater.
The fall of the M was accompa-
MED by rumblings and explosions and
the throwing out of ashes and mean
descent stones. Liquid lava poured
out from the crater in streams and in
the ~ hours since the disturbance be-
gan, lava has covered an area of
100000 square feet.
The temperature of this molten mass
is 1000 degrees Fahrenheit. Professor
Mall Adair, director of the observa-
tory on vesuvius, descended into the
crater at the beginning OF the erup-
ton. The heat scorched his face.

BLAME WAR FOR
MANY SUICIDES
sAVE-A-LiFE LEAGUE ESTIMATES
10000 LIVES WE'RE TAKEN
DURING 1921
BIG REDUCTION IS PREDICTED
s5s Children, 76 MiIIionaires, 81
Preachers, 90 Bankers Are In
eIuded in List for 1921; Ger
many Leads World.

New York.-Reaction following the
war was blamed tonight by the Save
Allie league for the large mum
her of suicides in 1921, 10000 of which
were estimated to have taken place in
this country. The number of cases
brought to the leagues attention was
12,144, of which $40 were males and
3.734 females.
This waste of life, the result of
recent disturbed economic conditions,
and the aftermath of war; said a re-
port by Harry NJ. Warren, president
of the league. has caused commercial
failures, loss of employment and much
real suffering. The growing complex
ity of our modern life, the feverish un-
rest, crimes, divorces. questionable
dress, unhappy home relations. the de-
cline of religious sentiment, and other
things have caused deranged nerves,
depression and less self control. With
improved business which is sure to
come. the suicide rate will be reduced
and prosperity and happiness will re-
turn
One of the striking features of the
report is the increase in the number of
suicides of children which was ATT in
1919; 707 in 1920 and S5S in 1921.
There also were 800 war veterans
among the suicides last year.
All classes of society were included
in the list of those who took their own
lives. There were 10 editors. 40 stu
dents, 81 school teachers. 81 clergy
men, 80 brokers, 81 judges and lawyers,
Sc physicians, Z mayors. So heads of
large corporations, 76 millionaires, 30
wealthy women and 93 bankers, In
Guiding 81 bank presidents. The old
est suicide was 100 years old and the
youngest five years.
Ireland has fewer suicides than any
other country on earth, Mr.. Warren
declared in his comment on world con
ditions. Germany leads the world. es-
pecially in child suicide.

AGREEMENT ON BONUS
PLAN IS UNANIMOUS
Measure Has Long Road to Travel
Before Being Submitted; VIII
Be Expedited

Observation-Disclosures agreement
along the general lines outlined of
~ficially yesterday. was reached today
by house ways and means committee
Republicans, who believe they have
found a solution of the problem
which has been giving administration
and congressional leaders concern for
several weeks. The revised measure.
however. still had a long road to travel
before 1t reaches the statute books.
As now drawn. the bill provides for
cash payments only TO those men whose
adjusted service pay would not exceed
$50, and these foul optional features:
Adjusted service certificates with
an added loan provision which would
enable the men to obtain Immediately
from banks a sum equal to 80 per cent
of the adjusted service pay; vocational
training. home and farm aid, and land
settlement.
In working out details of the certifi-
cate loan provision, which was sug-
gnsted originally by Representative
DoWCfs, ntpuuilcuu. VI west NlTRin1d,
the majority committeeman reduced
the face value of the certificate, which
would be the amount OF the adjusted
service pay plus 25 per cent, plus In
terest at AZ per cent. compounded an
nually, instead of the service pay.
plus 40 per cent. plus the interest as
originally proposed. 1t was thought
this would result in a saving Il the
government up to a possible maxi
mum Of S5O0,OO0,O 900.
Banks in making loans on the GER
tificates could not charge an interest
rate in excess of 2 per cent above the
r%ediscount rate charged by the regional
federal reserve bank on 00-day paper
In the district where the loan was
made, and they could not make the
loans for a period in excess Of three
years from the date of the certificate.

federal banks.

STARTS TO
BREAK lam OF BILLS
Bonus, Tariff, Subsidy, Treaties and
Scores of Others Force Length
ening of Session.

Washington.-The second year OF
the Harding administration finds con
gress graphing with arms conference
treaties, the soldiers bonus, tariff. ship
subsidy, appropriation bills and scores
of other measures, with the Novem-
Der elections waiting to act as a prob
able scale to determine the political
success of the results achieved.
In the fact of the almost daily length
ening program, Republican leaders vir-
tually have forgotten their previous
June adjournment goal and now are
talking of July as the windup date.
The treaties are to be paramount in
the senate Ind the bonus bill In the
house, broadly speaking, during the
next few weeks. Republican leaders
hope to dispose of all of the treaties
before taking up the tariff or bonus
bills in the senate. Appropriation bills.
administration spokesman declare, are
advanced more than usual at this date
due to the operation of the new budget
system, but much delay on the army
and navy appropriation measures is
expected
The first administration b~roadside
in behalf of the four power Pacific
treaties is to come mor in the
senate from Senator New of Indiana,
Republican member of the foreign re-
Ilations committee and confidant of
President Harding. During the week
opponents also expect to get into ac-
ton, but the real fight, over reserva-
tons, now is under the surface with
prospects of it not reaching the open
floor for several weeks.
The compromise soldiers bonus mea-
sure drafted by Republican members
of the house ways and means commit
tee is to be laid before the full com
mittee this week and possibly brought
before party conferences. That ma
terial changes yet may face the bonus
legislation before it is finally evolved
is being predicted widely.

MANY HEAR GRIFFITHS
PLEA FOR FREE STATE
Perfect Order Is Maintained as Drive
for Anglo-Irish Treaty
Opens in Dublin.

Dublin.-The crowds which gath
cred today for the opening of the
campaign in favor of acceptance of
not only because of their vast proper
tons, but also because of the high de
gree of enthusiasm evinced.
The orators, in addition to Michael
Collins and Arthur Griffith, included
Joseph McGrath, minister of labor,
William Cosgrove, minister for home
affairs, and other leaders in the pro-
visional government. Two platforms
weer constantly employed by the
speakers.
With the exception of a minor flag
incident, when girls and women tore
down a Free State ~tri-color, perfect
order was maintained by the Republi-
can police.
Mr.. Collins, in a long speech, de-
Tended the treaty. He asserted that
once the free state was established. the
union of northeast Ulster with the re-
mainder of Ireland was certain. He
expressed determination to proceed to
the establishment of a police force, de-
spite the warnings of cannon Devalera.
1t would not be a political force to pro-
tect n special election, but would be
for the protection of every citizen in
Ireland.
Mr.. Griffith's address was brief.
Both he and Mr.. Collins pointed to the
British troops leaving Ireland as being
proof that Ireland has not been be-
trayed.
The position in the northeast. Mr..
Collins said, was NOT ideal. but there
were only two alternative issues
coercion or Cancellation. Whichever
alternative was adopted must be
adopted Fundamentally. All were
agreed against coercion, but the treaty
contained forces for persuasion which
would bring the northeast into bank
ruptcy If it stayed out of the free
state.

Mexico City.-The seriousness of the
electricians strike, which has tied up
street car service. shut off power in
various sections of the city and today
put Mexico on mengre water rntions
has now become apparent and the
papers are demanding that the govern
ment take energetic steps to settle
the controversy before the strike
spreads.
Although the striking members Of
the electrical union have not been
able to bring total darkness to Mexi-
co because soldier guards have been
stationed at several auxiliary plants,
business affairs have suffered severe
ly during the last few days on account
of the uncertain situation.
Fear of disorders have caused the
government to provide several aux
Hilary plants with machine u de-
tachments. No casualties through the
strike have been reported.
The main power plant at Necaxa Is
still fun%ctioning. but the strikers have
succeeded in cutting several Interme-
diary stations, thus shutting off power
in various sections Of the city.
A diminishing water supply Is most
feared by the capital and unless an
agreement Is reached It is expected
