EXPLOSION AND FIRE
New York, June 17. Terrible scenes were witnessed at Fredericksburg, Virginis, to day when an explosion occurred in the factory of the Sylvania Industrial Corporation.
The explosion practically wrecked the entire building and was follow- ed by an outbreak of fire witch swept through the premises within a few minutes, the explosion start- ing the blaze in a dozen places at once.
Most of the employees had re- markable escapes from death,
Some of them, negro 'and white workers, ran into the street from the burning buildings, themselves flaming like human torches.
One negro was fatally burned, eleven other negroes and two white workers were rushed to hospital in serious conditions. Scores

Rome, June 17. Conviction is growing in circles usually well informed about Italian diplomacy that much less was achieved in the Venice conversa- tions between Herr Hitler and Signor Mussolini than the world at large has been led to suppose.
Surprise has been furnished, too, by the difference in the German and Italian interpretations of what results were, achieved, a fact which seems to confirm that no cut and dried decisions were reached.
