Vesuvius In a recent letter received from I her husband, Mrs. James Crouch, of Newton, gained a clear picture of the March eruption of the volcano, Mt. Vesuvius The message from the hus ban, Sgt. James Crouch, in Italy, would be of general interest to his friends here, and is as follows: “Mt. Vesipeius is a mountain some thing like Mineral Springs moun tain near Valdese. In time past you could,, see som e white smoke rolling out of the crater, and every now and then you could see some red hot lava run out down the side of the crater. I have watched it for hours at a time. “Sometime Monday, March 20, the volcano started erupting. Three great rivers of lava started running down the side of the mountain out of the top of the crater. It was throwing out red hot rocks and ashes -were thrown thousands of feet into the air. This sure was a beautiful sight to me, but to those who live close by and those in the path of the lava, I know that it was a horrible sight. “I walked out on one of the lava flows that had cooled somewhat. It had a crust over it, but through the cracks I could still see the red hot rock. “Some of the rivers of lava have already run twenty miles. It is about a quarter of a mile wide. It moves at about the rate of three hundred yards an hour. Some of the towns 40 miles away are covered with ash and The Lincoln Times * ★ ★ S. C.

E. Rudisill, on N. Flint street. She was ill only one day, having suffered a stroke of paraly sis on Tuesday. She was 81 years old. Mrs. Mauney was the widow of B. S. Mauney and had been a resident of Lincolnton for many years. Survivors are four daughters: Miss Florence Mauney, of Charlotte; Mrs. L. E. Rudisill, Lincolnton, with whom she made her home; Miss Georgian ia Mauney, Charlotte; and Mrs. Robert Yount, Staunton, Ya.; tw-o sisters, Miss Nancy Ann Mullen, of Crouse, and Mrs. J. B.

One of the highways running close to the moun tain is closed because it is just about covered with ashes. “I went to within a mile of the top while it was erupting, but you can take my word I won’t do that again. I took some pictures but not any of them are good. It vjas worth wasitng a few films though to try to get a picture of it. “After the volcano stops I want to go back to see it. There is a railroad that runs all the way to the top, and I think I will go that way instead of by car. “I wouldn’t take a million for what I have seen in the past week. People have spent thousands of dollars to come here to see Vesuvius when it was not even erupting. Not many peo ple have seen the sight we have seen. “It sure is bad for a volcano to run so many people out of their homes, as there are so many homeless people anyway. “Just as soon as I can get a box made I am going to send home some piecs of lava I picked up the other night.” WOOL.

Allies Intend For Nazis To Surrender Weapons This Time Washington, May 15.—Expecta- j tions now are that several Allied di- I plomatie campaigns against Axis sa- j tellite s and Europena, neutrals will I pay off as soon as Anglo-American j invasion forces are established in I Western Europe. A check of responsible authorities today fixed that is the decisive time for the effort to strip Germany of both satellite support and neutral eco nomic assistance. It is doubtful, however, that the satellites may expect as favorable i terms if they wait to surrender un-1 til after the invasion forces are es-1 tablished. The ultimatum Friday to Finland, Bulgaria, Romania and Hungaria em phasized that the leniency of terms would vary according to the assist ance given the Allies. Meanwhile, it was learned that there is no present intention of offer ing to any segment of the German population a lenient armistice based on revolt and surrender. One reason for this is that appar ently there is no fraction of the pop ulation capable of revolting. Anoth er is the determination, held by American leaders particularly, that the German army this time must ad mit complete defeat and the German people must realize fully the impact of losing the war. Dispatches from London indicate this determination is reflected in the present tentative draft of surrender terms, being worked on by the Euro pean advisory commission. Ilt was understood these terms pro vide that the German army must sur render completely, lay down its arms where it is fighting (instead of with drawing to Germany as it did in the last war) and await disposal by the Allied authorities. Based on these, and some other considerations, therefore, Allied pro paganda to Germany now stresses the fact that Germany cannot hope to win, that the people can look for ward only to complete defeat and unconditional surrender.
