NAPLES, Aug. 15.-Vesuvius. Mount Etna alld Stromboli, three of the world’s greatest volcanoes, have sud- denly hecome active and are belchlng fortll _great clouds of steam and smoke. Streams of lava are pouring dowll the eastern slope of Mount Etna from two new craters, threatening the destruction of Sicilian villages. The wllole population of Naples and of Messina and other Sicilian cities is ill a state of terror. Severe earthquake shocks have been felt at Taranto. alld Brindisi, ill southern Italy, according to de- spatches received here today, in- creasing the fear flint a gigantic earth disturbance is about to shake italy, though Naples scientists are trying to reassllre tile public. The first earth tremor was felt at Brindisl at three o'clock on Tues- day morning, followed by nine others. lt w`as estimated that the centre oi’ disturbance was 12 miles from Brill- disi. The meteorological apparatus at Vesuvius Observatory was wrecked by earth tremors yesterday. THREE VOLCANOES AVVAKEN En route from Athens to Naples aboard the Greek steamer Adrlaticus I personally witnessed the re-awakel1- ing of the three great Italian volcan- oes. Passing through the Ionian Son, the smoke pouring from Mount Etna wus visible for miles. The top of the great cone, standing two miles above tho sea, was shrouded in a thick cop of smoke and steam. Despatches i'ronl Catania today said that two new craters have been open- cd in Mount Etna oil the eastern side, and _that 11 thick strennl of lava is pouring dowli thc slopes tllreotenlng the destruction of Casino del Ingles. The people of Catailia, often visit- ed by destructive outpourillgs of lava are flocking to their churches to im- plore divine protection. Messina, sixty miles northeast of the great volcano, and the scene of the greatest earthquake disaster in history, is greatly alarmed. Tile population is clamoring for the tra- ditional procession oi' the Madonna delhi Lettera, which has so oftell saved the city from Etna’s wrath, according to popular belief. Stromboli, rising three thousand feet above the sen oil one oi’ the Llpari islands, was giving forth all angry stream of lava that poured into the seo, and spouting fortll il thin dust of ashes, flames and smoke as the Adrlaticus steamed northward. So for as we could ascertain through the smoke haze that over- hung the sea none of the small vil- lages ut its base had been harmed. The heavy vapors from Vesuvius clouded the Bay of Naples today. Residents of some of the small villages near the base of the volcano are flocking lllto Naples. carrying tllelr household goods strapped across their backs.

IT WAS THE PRINCE WHO SAVED THE DAY. LONDON, Aug. 15.-Much interest has been aroused by the conflrmatloll from Prince Louis of Battenburg that it was he and not Winston Spencer Churchill who issued the famous or- der to mobilize the fleet at the be- ginning of the war. From the outset Mr. Churchill, then First Lord of the Admiralty, has received the highest praise for his foresight in having the British fleet mobilized at the critical moment. Some time ago, however, F. T. Jane, a. well known naval expert, publicly announced that Prince Louis of Battenburg deserved this credit. it will be recalled that shortly after the war began Prirlce Louis of Battenburg resigned as First Sea Lord because of bittel' criticism. based clllefly oil the fact of his German descent. And now comes the article by the Prince himself ill The Standard, final- nlly clearing the lnutter up and mak- ing it plain that it was he and not Mr. Churchill, who ordered the mobiliza- tion of the fleet. TWO STATEM ENTS AGREE. "VV.hen the war came," said Mr. Fane, “the British navy were ready und waiting. This fact is generally put down to Mr. (?hurchill's credit. We have all read it ill the press and . we have all believed it, but it was the First Sea Lord of tllose days, Prince Louis of Battenburg, who kept the fleet together. lie it was wllo saved us the horrors of Belgium." The confirmation by the Prince of Mr. Jane's assertion as it appears ill The Standard is: “lt is quite true that lt was your humble servant and not Mr, Churchill, who was spending the week-end at Cromer with his wife. It was l wllo ordered all ships to stand fast instead of demobllislng as order- ed." It is recalled that Mr. (Thurchlll him- self admitted this fact when he wrote Prince Louis after his retirement. “The first step which secured the timely concentration of the fleet was taken by you," said Mr. Churchill at explains why Prince Louis did not let the world knowbefore the great service he had performed for the country by keeping the fleet mobil- seemed to tlllllk that if these facts were published some sort of injury to the national interests might result. llll lllllllli (fII"l`0\’VN MARKl~}'l`S Print butter per lb 20 to 25 Fowl per lb 10 to 11 Chickens, 14 to lii .

There is no other medicine like it. Be sure to get Hood 's and get it today. It is sold by all druggists. F I 9 I m excerpts from Abbe Dimllet's story of General Joffre. The narrative begins with the story of the humble origlll of Joffre, cf his igreat matllematical ability. and of his entering the Ecole Poiytecilnique, Paris, when he was just past 15 years old, being the youngest buy of the corps of cadets. Joffre was one of the star men of his class, alld froln his first day ill the corps was, to use the words of Dimnet, “a soldier oil his way to being all officer." - lt was not until 1901 that Joffre he- cnme a general officer, ulld it was then that his real career may bc said to have begun. The Abbe Dinlnet refers ill this connection to General Joii're’s attractive daughters. who in limes of peace are his inseparable companions and wllo always accompany llilll on his rides ill the Bois de Bouloglle_ "What sort of man had hc been so far?" the Abbe asks. “Among many platltude.-4 and inflated statelncnls about the greatness he must have pos- sessed even when he was unknown, we hear a few discordant notes. Some people who are supposed to have known lllln intimately say that he was lazy, others say that he was ambitious, others find fault with llinl for having been a gayer young fellow at Molli- pelier than bchooved thc future gen- eralisslmo oi’ the French army; llc would somctlmes sing colnlc songs at i1 cafe to all audiellce of brother ofll- ccrs, and that is ullforgivenhlo. All this can be summed up ill saying that many persons wllo met lllln in curly life have been rather surprised :lt his eventual distinction.” Dimnet tllcn tells of tho entry of Joffre iilto the superior coullcll, at tho time when Gcilcrill Trcnleail was thc head of the army, and how it was thai, .llc was iiliillly chosen us the head of thc couilcll oil tho rccoinnlendntion of tllo other fiullous l<‘i'eilch general of the present war, Paul Pau. "Joil're was appointed." adds Dim- net, "mid ill il. very short time whoever happened to be in contact with thc ofilr-ers began to hear it repented as a nlaxinl that it’ war illlist como let it U00- He SIIYB llillt Prince L01llS .come while .loffrc was at thc head of .the army, and his two friends, Pau and de Castlenau, worked with him.” When Mr. Mlllcrand, the war mill- ister, speaks of General Joilre, says liinlnct, llc docs so wiill "al sort oi' i‘evel'ollco.
