Towns in LavaPath May Escape

Severe Danger

Airplane Survey Indicates That theFlow Towar Sea Is Lessening;

Dynamite Is Used.

Taormina, Sicily, Nov. 9.lava flow of Mount Etna slacked itsadvance toward the sea today theseventh day since the craters wereunloosed. The situation may be de-

scribed a3 momentarily stationary,with the lava stream moving slowlybut inexorably forward, making lessprogress as it cools and gets distantfrom the supply base of boiling, cas-cading cauldrons from the vantagepoint above.

Renewed hopes that some of thethreatened towns mav escape destructions was "brought back thismorning by Prof. Ercole Ponte, whoflew over the region in an airplane.

The town of Giarre is the centerof bustling confusion. The refugeesare mostly concentrated at Giarre,Riposto and Acireale, on the Cataniaside, with medical services and soupkitchens organized to care for them.

Lemon Groves Destroyed.It is estimated that three hundred ,

acres of lemon groves were destroy-ed last night in the lava advance,and they were worth 750 thousanddollars. Engineers today continueddynamiting and blasting huge crat-ers before the lava fingers and thismay help slacken and contrate theprogress of the lava morass. I

The last vestige of the town ofMascali melted into the immense lavafurnace last night. This small quar-ter known as the San Antonio section lay high on the eastern edgeof the lost town and was not caughtin the first flood tide of lava. Itconsisted of two scores of houses andthe church of San Antonio.

Accompanied by two Black Shirtofficers I watched the lava spreadover San Antonio all last night inthe fearful light of the molten streamand lemon groves. We ap-

proached the town down the roadfrom Fiumefreddo. Along the roadwere groves of lemons and prettyhouses, all of them soon to be burned. All had been evacuted days ago.

Hoover PlanningTwo-Mont- h Visit

to South AmericaDetails of Proposed Trip not Set-

tled Would Sail on Battleship,Hoover Announces.

Stanford University, Cal., Nov. 9.A good will trip to certain Latin-Americ- an

countries is proposed byHerbert Hoover before he returnsto Washington for his inauguralMarch 4.

Announctment of the intention ofthe president-elec- t was made almost

' simultaneously at the White houseJin Washington and at the Hooverhome here today.

"I have had the suggestion of avisit to certain Latin-Americ- an

countries before me for some days,"said the statement issued by thepresident-elec- t. "It has been cord-ially supported by President Coolidgeand Secretary Kellogg. There areconsideration of the time requiredand the matters which delay finaldetermination for a few days."

Although the plans necessarily areindefinite at this time pending diplo--,matic exchanges between the state,denartment and the countries ofSouth America he proposed to visit,it is the understanding that depart-ure will be made from San Fran-- ;cisco late next week on a battleship,

j probably the Maryland, flagship ofthe United States battle fleet.

Would Take Two Months.Should Mr. Hoover follow the

usual routea for such tours of SouthAmerica, histrip would require abouttwo months as it would taKe mm toall of the larger countries of thesouthern continent, both on the westand the east coasts.

The expectation is that from SanFrancisco the president-elec- t will goto Columbia, Ecuador, Argentina,Peru, Brazil, Chile and the largercountries on that continent. Aftercompleting his tour of the continent,Hoover, it is believed, would boardanother battleship at an easternSouth American port and return tothe United States.

he probably would bring back asufficiently clear outline of his fu-

ture program to be able to write inthe names of his cabinet membersafter a series of conferences withparty leaders. I

The president-elec- t has givenmuch time during his seven and ahalf years as secretary of commerceto the work of foresting trade be-

tween the United States and herLatin-Americ- an neighbors to thesouth, but this would be the firsttime that he has ever set foot uponthat continent, although as an engi-neer, his business carried him intomost of the other parts of the world.
