SIX PAGES
Millions of Lire Damage Suffered by Fleeing Peasants; Two Are Killed
Catanina, Sicily, Nov. 9–10 (UP) — The devastating recent storms at the source today and millions of life damage have been done in the peaceful valleys that surround the city.
Full realization of the wrath of the great crater became known when Prof. Giactone Ponte, director of the observatory at Mount Stromboli, crater. He watched the three flows of lava spew from their pits and start hurting down the mountain.
Streams to Meet at Sea
Although Professor Folet told us how the streams at the summit occasionally reached 40 meters an hour, the flow was abating in speed at the base this morning. The main stream of the railway stations from the Muscat railroad station.
Twelve Thousand omeless
The three streams are expected to join at the sea Saturday and the natives of this billibide country hope that the danger then may stop. Everything will be all right provided another outbreak does not start in the great ocean which has stood as a signal of the peaceful valleys for centuries.
Twelve thousand persons are homeless as a result of this latest outbreak and they are housed in the schools and cement buildings which have withstood the rains. The canoe. Two persons have been killed. The molten flow swept down through the dust that spreads on the trees they were wilted. The white hot flames struck up into the trunks, eating away the cap, and before one's very eyes the tree.
Three Streams of Lava
From Mascula the traffic in every direction was thick. Cars, auto lorries and other vehicles, with thousands of the peasants marching along not knowing where they were going, but all seeking to escape the wrath of the great war.
The three streams from Mount Kinnion are visible from Macaulay, pouring into the shallow valley below and of smoke rises from the summit and the cinders from the terrace sub-valley.
Flow Is Slowed
The surface of the stream rosettes a vast cinder dump with the color drek gray. Under it, water flows in molten ores which roll heavily down the mountain side.
The velocity of the stream that is sweeping on to Mascali now is some what showed up, but it still goes along a wide path at a rate of 18 yards an hour. One of the streams is 30 feet wide and is located in the hearts of the fertile valley.
The scene last night was fantastic. There was a gorgeous red river flow from the top of the crater almoon to the sea. The water is so rapidly inhabitants it cannot nanthe but tremendous disaster. The full extent of the disaster may be estimated by the fact that the Nunzizti damage alone is believed to be 150,
The new mouth was near Magaz
zeni, five miles northwest of Mas
cali, which was destroyed on Wednes
day.
Animals by the hundreds have been killed. The searching red stream animals are being hunted them. Many have been lured to the path of the stream, only be in killed animals.

He used it as a dwelling, then as a Prairiehouse, and now as the student dormitory. It is where you further repair. It has an inadequate supply of beds and bathrooms.

America's Peace Policy Is Changed, Says C. Morrison
Editor Styles Kellogg Plan as Most Fundamental Proposal Offered to World
America a Peace Leader
"American" peace policy has changed from the negative to the affirmative, and America's foreign policy lasted December, has caused America to leave its shell of isolation behind and stand offering the world a new path. "It's not even seen," and Charles Clayton Morrison, editor of the Christian Journal, warned in a morning before a crowd that filled the sanctum of central administration building with an objectless white powder Policy.
Mr. Morrison revealed the fact that, prior to the world war, America had been a leader in the peace movement, and last of the Hugue peace meetings the United States had been willing to go further in the establishment of a united front against the enemy after the war America hung back of the procession and second loaf to enter into a peace pact. The military and economic enlargements of the league kept America on its feet, so, according to Mr. Morrison.
"We had no proof that the nation designated as an aggressor and, therefore as our enemy, would actually be the aggressor. Now Mr. Kohlgue, his Secretary of State, comes out with a statement that places us on the affirmative side."
"The substance of his proposal is that the United States is willing to twice all treatise questions until justice can be satisfied in question of peace. With the consideration of this one question there need be no unnecessary political intervention on the ground of a multicultural treaty denouncing war, and no desiccated settlers by war." Thus did Mr. Morrison sum up the Peace Parts which were signed again later.
Europa Believes Peace Possible
"Europe now believes peace may be possible with America's collaboration? I have no doubt that our toward pence seemed to open up a great, new highway along which the police movement might run. We must continue to fight and counter-uttered up with the question of allied debts and reparations. The important thing is that America now has enough money."
In reviewing the situation Mr. Morrison stated that three points are of great significance, namely: (1) the Treaty of Paris had not forced the Pact of Paris had it not been for the continued existence of the League of Nations (2) we would have had been a member of the United States had been a member of the League of Nations (3) if consummation by ratification does not bring the Treaty into the League nothing else ever will.
In his talk at 11:30 Mr. Morrison framed the theme of the peace pact of Paris, signed Aug. 27, from an informant who was living in Ireland, in April last year to the validation of his talk in a formal treaty for the renunciation of outlaws.
The editor took occasion to refute the charges that the Republican party instituted Kolbarg's peace plan plus the capital in the November election.
He commended Secretary of State Kallagua as "opening a great, new direction of world peace and commitment. He has had to work tirelessly to the vast multitudes of both European countries and our United States. He proved it by his persistence, candor, and the regular development of the proposal."
Mr. Morrison refuses to believe in disarmament an imminent. "Armesmen will shriek up and mow away the innocent people," he said for nations is ratified, he probed. Mr. Morrison will deliver another address tonight at 6 o'clock in the university cafeteria at a memorial where many will be guests.
