MOUNT VESUVIlJS.
BREAKS out IN
FLAMING HE'LL.

NAPLES, Italy, Aug. R-Count-
less thousands of tons of molten lava
tonight continued to pour ponder.
ously from thes valley of Hell"
under the crater of Mount Vesuv1us
into raVines leading towards the
town of Terzigno, many of whose
inhabitants already have fled the
reawakened activity of the great
volcano.
Despite ominous explosions and the
constant movement of lava at
rapid rate Prof. Malladra, director
of the observatory, declared there
was no danger except in case the
weight of the gathering material
should cause a break in the side
of the mountain from the inner
crater to the surface facing Terzigno.
The present phase of the VOLCANOES
activity, Prof. Malladra said, would
cease probably within a few days.
Beginning yesterday morning, the
eruption at Mount Vesuvius progress
ed steadily until early this morning,
when the lava, which already filled
the valley of HELL" rose above the
the valley and then began to run
down the paths towards Terzigno.
A large section of the population
Of Terzigno and neighboring regions
began to flee toward Naples after
dawn.
Terzigno in 1920 had a population
of 5000.
Within the "Valley of HELL" lava
this afternoon formed a lake about
1000 feet broad which overflowed
in succession of narrow currents
over a breadth of about 800 feet into
the ravine. The temperature in the
crater at times reached 1,100 degrees
centigrade, with the air unbreathably
filled with gases.
Professor Malladra, it was learned
today, by his knowledge of the vag-
aries of Mount Vesuvius, yesterday
saved the lives of two of his assist.
ants, including Nine. Filibert, pro.
fessor at the Sorbonne in Paris, who
is at the observatory temporarily.
Nine Filibert, accompanied by q
carabineer sergeant, was trying to
put a new pluvometer for measuring
rainfall in the place of one destroyed
recently when they were surrounded
by flaming lava. Professor Malladra
ran as near as possible to them and
directed them to wait for about 15
minutes until the lava cooled slight
ly and he was able to assist them
to safety. Both were slightly in
jured by flaming fragments.

LLOYD GEORGE o. KS u. s.

LLOHD OEONOE W NsO O' %
CAMBRIDGE, England Aug. l F
Former Premier David Lloyd George
declared the belief here today that
If Great Britain were attacked un-
Justly by another country she could
look to the United States navy for
support.
Mr.. Lloyd George also stated he
favored strongly naval understand
ing with the United States and would
impose no limits on such an under
standing. He thought the fact there
was an understanding would be Of
almost more Importance than the
conditions, because it was inconceiv-
able that England and America ever
should come into conflict.
These statements were in answer
to questions asked by members of
an audience at the liberal summer
school who had just heard Mr., Lloyd
George assert in a speech that the
tripartite naval conference at Geneva
had been conducted in an inevitable
fiasco John Maynard Keynes, bur-
sar of Kings college, Cambridge,
who was principal representative OF
lIle bTlGlSu CIEdoUIy dO eOlAo PCeNCC
conference, asked whether Mr.. Lloyd
George would agree that the more
ships America built the safer Eng
land would be.
Lloyd George replied he would not
like to put it in that form. He
would not like England to depend
on any other country for its defense.
He would agree, however, to this
extent: That so far from American
building being reasonable cause
of apprehension, it was really some
thing Great Britain could look to
as means of support if she were
unjustly attacked by anv otheH
country.
"That implies" added Mr. Lloyd
George, ''that we must see that our
quarrels are just, When in the. great
war we had Just quarrel, America
came in ultimately and at a critical
moment"

Senator Capper said he knew of no
compromise measure now in process
OF formation by anyone. He doesn't
think there can be any compromise on
the equalization fee.
Unless the administration permits
enactment of an adequate farm relief
Dill next session it will face some
trouble in the west" he declared.
President Coolidge is very strong now
in Kansas although there is disap-
pointment over his veto of the Nc
Nary -Haugen farm bill but if he is
responsible for failure of anOtheS farm
bill he is in for trouble.
Farmers generally don't know much
about the McNary- -Haugen bill, but
they do think that it is the only meas
ure which proposes to place them on
an equal footing with industry and
business. Until something better is
proposed the farmer will stick to that
Farmers must organize to control
the market and production and the
government must help them. The
cooperative marketing bill won't dc
enough in that direction. The equal
ization fee must be used to permit real
control of the market and the Jardine
bill doesn't provide for that"
The senator voiced considerable pro-
test against the application of rail
roads for increases in freight rates
particularly in the proposal to boost
rates on grain. He also favored in
creasing the tariff on corn and meats
against Argentine importations and
suggested that a tariff be placed or
hides. He thought the duty could bt
cut on aluminium.

DENOCRATSO ON
HARMONY HUNT
IN CONVENTION

WASHINGTON, Aug. / (H0-Organl-
zation of the next democratic national
convention in such a manner as to
prevent as far as possible the factional
demonstrations which marked the
Madison Square Garden gathering in
1924 was urged today by Senator Rob-
inson, of Arkansas, the democratic
floor leader in the senate.
IF this can be accomplished, the
conventions choice will have o fair
prospect of election the senator said
There exists no concensus among
democrats as to who will be nominated
for president and vice president in
1928 he added. "A number of prom
inent democrats are mentioned, in
Guiding Governor Smith and Senator
Reed of Missouri. They both have
cordial supporters and one also hears
arguments based on opposition.
Governor Ritchie, Mr. McAdoo,
Congressman Hull, Former Secretary
Meredith and Governor Donahey have
followers. It can not now be accurate
ly anticipated who will receive the
endorsement of our state The only
course which suggests itself is that
every aspirant be granted fair op-
portunity and that the national con-
vention be organized to prevent as
far as possible the development OF
factionalisrn.
ut is the duty of all sincerely in
terested in the democratic party to
work together to avoid repetition of
those factional demonstrations which
marked the New York convention in
1924"

tiated eventually.
The American delegates are SAID
to be endeavoring to exhaust every
means for reaching an accord before
permitting the pour parlers to DRIFT
to. destruction. The Americans nave
expressed the belief no good can
possibly come from spectacular and
possibly a cyclonic final public ses-
sion. If break is inevitable, 1t is
said to be likely the Americans might
agree to any suggestion for an ad-
iurnment of the conference which
would be accompanied by a conmuni-
que from the secretary general TO
the effect the negotiations were dis
continued because of a failure to
agree on one or two outstanding
problems.
The Japanese activity and the
growing desire among all the dele
agates to do everything possible to
avoid break have injected new hope
into the situation AS yet, however,
there was nothing tangible on Whlch
hope could be based, and the criti-
cal situation remains absolutely un-
changed.
American circles in Geneva are
wondering what effect the negotla-
tions will have not only on the
constructions of American warships
but also on the American merchant
marine. There is said to be a grow
ing impression here, in both the
technical and political camps that
the American people must be edu-
Gated to give more attention to the
Importance of the maintenance OF
larger fleet of merchant ships TO
carry American manufactured goods
to the foreign countries.
The idea is based on the probabil-
ity of a steady growth of American
exports of manufactured products. 1t
involved the necessity of not only hav-
ing American merchant ships to con-
'vey these products abroad but also
of having navy of sufficient size
to protect the increasing American
trade routes. 1t is pointed out that
this follows the plan of the British
who say they must of necessity re-
tain large cruiser fleet in order to
protect British trade communications
overseas.
