ROMAN TREASURE SHIPS
SALVAGING TO BE ATTEMPTED LAKE MAY~BE DRAINED. (Sydney Cable.) (Received April 29, 7.15 p.m.) ROME, April 28. Signor Mussolini has ordered that an attempt be made immediately to recover the Imperial treasure shins lying at the bottom of Lake Nemi. It probably will be decided to make a tunnel through the side of the extinct volcano, the crater of which at present forms the bod of the lake, and thus empty the lake. There have been many previous attempts tr> recover the ships, which the Roman emperors probably used, as a summer resort. They are believed to contain untold intrinsic and artistic wealth. Lake Norm is about 20 miles from Rome, and is surrounded by thick woods, which in ancient times were famous for the worship of the goddess Diana.
