ell held today the ministers approved
of proposal to send an Italian naval
division to join the British squadron
In the Levant. 1t Is believed here that
the warships Of the several powers will

stantinople.

which the government labors, the
Porte not having sufficient money
wherewith to meet the expenses thus

decided to summon the remaining
twenty battalions belonging to the
fourth corps.
Oficial dispatches reiterate, with
some detail, the stories already told Of
the troubles at Tchoukour Hissar and
Diarbekir, but in all cases place the
blame on the Armenians, who are said
to have risen against the Moslems.
The Vail of Adana telegraphs that
200 Armenians disguised as Circassians
have attacked the villages Of Zeitun-
bell and Narl, committing all sorts Of
depredations.

GAINES PLEA FOR FICTION.
Says tho Novelist Should Paint the World
as lie Finds II.

Philadelphia, Nov. 12.-The British
novelist, Hall Caine, made q notable
speech before large audience this
evening in the Baptist Temple He was
introduced by Rev. DR.. Russell H. Con-
well as q moral teacher. Mr.. Caine said
not many years ago no novelist was
considered a moral teacher. He then
added:
II want to stand here for the twin
angels Of freedom and truth and plead
for the completer liberty of the drama
and fiction. Some may say they have
already too much license. 1t Is true
that the novelist or dramatist who Is
without conscience Is a literary anar-
chist who goes about armed with dyna-
mite that might be called damnation."
Mr.. Caine referred to Hawthorne's
Scarlet Letter" as a great moral book
He said fiction is not aiere idle fancy
and Is worthy of serious thought and
attention. He took the ground that the
novelist should have the license and
liberty to paint the world as he finds 1t,
and not to smooth II over.
