ROME. June 28.-—The volcano of
Stromboli. situated on the island of
the same name. off thenorthern coast
of Sicily. has burfi-inlo activity.
‘—:1’
Siromboli is a volcano which is re-
markable for its activity. having been
in eruption for the better part of the
last two thousand years. The two
most violent outbreaks in recent years
occurred in 1907 and 1515‘. Th‘e'ac~
tivity of the volcano in 1907 was con-
sidered by some observers as a pre-
cursor of the great seismic convulsion
which virtually destroyed Messina the
next year. in 1915 a new crater was
formed. '

Among the activities of the Repub-

no means ancient in its makeup. as

showing the aims and hopes of the as-

will appeal to all who desire good gov“
ernment. The primer committee in-

by the executive committee. The in-
spiration. written by Jean 1“. Auden.
was taken from Mark Twain's collec-

introductions are from the pens of
Postmaster-General Will H. Hays. and
Mrs. Arthur H. Livermore. president

BRITISH MINERS
AWAIT SUBSIDY
LONDON. June :8 (By The Associ—
ated l'resslm—The British coal mine
strike. which has been in progress
since April 1. has been settled. it was
officially announced this afternoon.
it is understood Lloyd George will
ask Parliament this afternoon to au-
thorize the granting of a l0.000.(i00-
pound subsidy to the mining industry.
The miners will resume work Mon—
day if the subsidy is granted. The
Government offered this subsidy sev-
eral weeks ago but withdrew it after
the recent proposition by the owners
for a settlement had been voted down
by the miners.
It was generally understood that
the submission of the subsidy proposi-
tion to Parliament was a, mere formal-
ity and that theogrant would be voted.

Although no report has been made
of the matter to the police. it is known
that an attempt was made to hold up
and criminally assault two young
girls who live on Ferris avenue. about
9 o'clock Sunday night. by three
young men. who were prevented from
carrying out. their designs only by the
fact that assistance came in answer to
the screams of the youngest of the
two girls. who are sisters.
Several young men who were near
the scene of the attempted assault
heard the screams of the girls and ran
to their assistance. As they did so.
one of the three men fired three shots
in the direction of the approaching
young men. which momentarily halted
them.
The three men then broke and ran
in different directions. The girls. al-
though somewhat shaken up by their
experience. were not injured.
