Madison, Wis. = The University OF
Wisconsin, at its SEVENTEEN commence
ment today graduated class of 1921
students, the largest in the history OF
the institution. Almost all of the
states in the union and a large num-
Der of foreign countries had represen-
tatives within the graduating class.
Five honorary degrees were confer
red by the university upon distinguish
ed scholars. Those recognized by Wis
consin's great educational institution
were Judge E. Ray Stevens of the
Ninth judicial circuit of Wisconsin
who received the degree Of doctor OF
laws; Professor Edward P. Cheyney OF
the University of Pennsylvania and
Professor John M. Manley of the Uni
versity of Chicago, who received the
degree of doctor of letters and Pro
fessor Theodore Svedberg of the Uni
versity of Upsala, Sweden, who received
the degree of doctor Of science.
The granting of honorary degrees tc
these men preceded the regular com
mencement exercises at which 1,27C
bachelors degrees were granted togeth-
er with 1911 master degrees and 55 doc
tors degrees.
President E. A. Birge of the Univers-

Most of you have been less practical

have fully appreciated the fact that
disinterested study-the love of learn

spirit of the college and that the

Catania, Sicily-From the path Of
five fiery, obliterating avalanches Of
lava, thousands of Sicilian farmers are
fleeing with their families, animals and
household goods today. while the vio-
lent eruptions of Mount Etna that
have rendered nearly 100000 persons
homeless, continue.
Already ten little townships have
been scared into oblivion beneath the
devastating flow of molten metal, which
gains in speed as fresh explosions and
earth tremors shake the volcanoes base.
Lava Walls Behind Them.
Over their shoulders as they flee,
the farmers see the advancing lava
walls; thousands of feet wide, thirty to
forty feet high, carrying along great
incandescent rocks weighing tons. A
blistering heat precedes the onrushing
lava; human life is impossible within
mile. Wells for miles around have
dried up; vegetation is whitening.
Still further up the mountain, like a
shroud over the destruction wrought
by the fiery streams, steady downfall
of ashes, hot cinders, stones and lava,
fragmests and spreading a gaseous
blanket already three inches thick over
the entire mountain as far as Giardini.
AS the panicky exodus from threat
ened towns grows in volume, roads are
clogged and the farmers drive their
cattle, horses and beasts of burden
upon whose backs is everything they
could remove from before the lava,
across fields, down rising river beds,
in their haste.
Other Villages in Terror.
Inhabitants of towns that have not
yet felt the heat of the descending
masses, but when the uninterrupted
incandescent display of giant fire
works from Etna's top is plainly
visible, spent night of terror.
At Piedi Monte, the entire populace
camped out in the public square,
huddled together around a statue of
st. Anthony, praying throughout the
night. Church bells tolled necessarily,
booming above the voices raised in
prayer. Every now and then, new
thunder from the mountain top shook
the village.
Stage Religious Ceremony.
With the dawn, inhabitants of
Lingua Glossa, believed doomed, held
religious procession at close as pos
sible to the fiery forty foot wall of
lava that threatens at any moment to
engulf their homes. Against the ap-
parently irresistible avalanche, they
held up a statue of Saint Egidius,
their patron saint, credited with hav-
ing stopped a flow of lava that reached
the gates of the city in 1873. The
religious believe implicitly that the
miracle will be repeated.
Pope Plus and King Victor En-
manuel have interested themselves in
the rescue work. The king will come
to Catania this evening if news from
the devastated areas at Eta's base
BECOME more alarming, while the pope
has ordered all religious buildings on
the island thrown open to the refugees.

PUTS AN END TO
WATER THEFTS
United States Court De-
cides in Favor of Wis
consin Cities.
MUST LIMIT WATER
Judge Holds That Chicago Can
Not Operate Drainage Canal
at Expense of Lake Levels.


An end to Chicago's water theft" is
in prospect as a result of q decision
handed down by Judge George A. Car
penter in Chicago on Monday.
The United States government was
granted an injunction restraining the
sanitary district Of Chicago from tax
ing more than 4,157 cubic feet per
second from Lake Michigan through
the Chicago drainage canal. The de-
cision's effect will be delayed six
months to allow the district time in
which to appeal to the United States
supreme court.
The injunction was granted on the
motion of Joseph B. Fleming, special
assistant attorney general, who charg-
ed that the district was taking between
5000 and 10000 cubic feet per second.
He also charged that the city was
thereby lowering the level of the great
lakes and endangering navigation.
Kenosha has been active in the fight
against the drainage canal and lowered
lake level.
Bruce Sees Victory.
"The Importance of the decision to
the people of Milwaukee ana Wiscon-
sin who have been fighting Chicago's
water theft, can not be overesti-
mated" William George Bruce, of Mil
waukee, president of the Great Lakes
HarbSr association, and leader in the
movement to restrain Chicago's use
of Lake Michigan water, said on Mon
day night.
"The decision of the federal court
not only vindicates the attitude taken
by Wisconsin, but it assures US per-
manent victory" Mr.. Bruce said.
Gwen if Chicago appeals to the
United States supreme court, there is
every indication that the court will
sustain the decision.
''For the first time, Chicago has lost
out in a federal court. The case which
Judge Carpenter inherited from Judge
Lands, has finally been decided as
Chicago believed it never could be
decided. The best thing for Chicago
to do in the six months allotted is
to get to work and provide adequate
sewage reduction plants of the type
used in Milwaukee"
State Led Fight.
The amount of water provided for in
the injunction was allowed by the war
department at the time of the organi-
zation of plans for Chicago's sanitary
district twenty years ago. Since then
the city and district has grown to
such an extent that more water has
been required and the amount first
granted has been increased from time
to time until today nearly 10000 cubic
feet per second are required for the
needs of the district.
Wisconsin has been a leader among
the great lakes states in voicing the
objections to the withdrawal of
water from Lake Michigan by the
sanitary district.
The case was appealed after Mayor
Hoan OF Milwaukee, and William
George Bruce, president of the Great
Lakes Harbor association, asked Secre-
tary Weeks to revoke the original or
der and were told that the matter
could be settled more easily in court
