tary Camp.
Florence, Italy, Sept. lit is esti-
mated that $4,000 men in Florence are
idle. The employees of forty different
calings have Joined the strike that
began last Friday. The town appears
to be in a state of siege. Troops have
been recalled from the manOeuvres and
been recalled from the manoeu-
vers and every camp and every
square in the city is occupied by
a company of soldiers. Six thousand
troops, in addition to number of po-
lcemen and carbineers, have been con-
centrated in the city. Plenty of other
soldiers are available should order be
disturbed. The summer excursionists
have left the town partly empty and a
number of others have left.
The government, which, according to
it's democratic program. has allowed
the strikers complete liberty as long
as order is maintained, has assumed a
most energetic attitude since the strik-
ers forced willing workmen to remain
idle and committed acts of vandalism.
All meetings of persons have been
forbidden, and hundreds of suspected
persons have been arrested. These
measures nave averted disorder and
have frustrated the efforts of the an
archist and socialist elements to profit
by the strike to foment trouble.

NAVAL PROBLEM.
One of Intense Interest Will BE
Solved This Winter.

Washington, Sept. 2.-Even while
the combined maneuvers are in pro-
gress at the eastern end of Long Island
sound, a body of naval officers is stead
lily at work planning the details for the
winter naval operations at Culebra is
land. The problem there presented
differs essentially from those now being
practically determined on the New Eng
land coast. 1t is true there will be a
search problem, such as preceded the
joint maneuver now going on, but in
the West Indian waters the chase will
be on a much grander scale, for prOba-
bly, the combined commands, made up
from the fleets from the North Atlantic,
the European and the South Atlantic
stations, will engage in the pursuit of
the flying foe.
But the most interesting and impor-
tant feature of the work will be practi-
cal demonstrations of construction
theories that have been evolved by the
naval board, touching initial operations
in case of an outbreak of hostilities in
southern waters.
Culebra island lies on the extreme
edge of the farthest circle of defense,
and is regarded as the most feasible
base for the operation of United
States defense fleet. The place is not
fortified as yet, and may not be taken
over by the army and. fortified or several
years. So the problem..presented is the
rapid occupation and fortification of the
island by the navy acting single handed,
on the theory that the army, in the
throes of organization, cannot meet the
emergency. The Dixie, the Panther
and another combined transport and
cruiser, will be laden with all the ma
terial and guns needed for the island,
and kept in waiting at the Norfolk navy
yard. ready for the work. Then word
may come, upon the departure from
Europe of the European squadron, and
the effort will be made to reach Culebra,
to land guns the marines. and generally
place the island in a condition to resist
a naval assault without the assistance
of Il defensive fleet.
If it is shown that this plan will
work, then it would appear that a hos
tile fleet could not pass Culebra into
the caribbean or gulf without mourning
the danger of having its cOmmunica-
tons cut by even small United States
fleet, with submarines and monitor or
two, which find safe refuge, in case of
need, in the defenses of Culebra. When
this problem is worked out the fleets
will be combined and enter upon an ex-
tensive series of squadron and fleet
drills and target shoolng, all of which
will be closely watched by general
board, which will go to the West Indies
for that PURPOSE.

The earn Nuisance,

An influence that seems to have a
very material effect upon the bass fish.
ing in Lake Erie is that of the German
carp. 1t Is very generally believed
among sportsmen and fishermen alike
that the carp is to our native fish
as the English sparrow to our birds.
No one accuses the carp Of having SUI
fieient enterprise to eat other fish-even
small fry-but it roots among the
spawning beds and is believed to de-
YOUR eggs by the million.
have heard this complaint about
Lake Erie. at the st. Clair flats and
along the bays Of Wisconsin. showing
that everywhere in the lake region the
carp is held in the same disrepute. How
much truth there Is in the stories of
his spawn eating would be hard to
say, but it is certain that carp are to
be found by thousands all about the
great lakes Some Of them are mon
sters in size and all root about the
banks Of bay and bayou and the bot
tom Of every shallow place.
Many small lakes have been entered,
says writer in Outing, and their wa
ters turned from crystal to mud color
by the roofing. There is no doubt that
they disturb spawn beds and do IN i'm
mense amount of harm, whether they
are egg-lovers or not.

The actual period of ware began at
the expiration of fOrty-eight hours OF
preparation. and while the fleet appear
ed to take things easily during that in
terval, land forces under command of
Mai. Gen. Macarthur were drilled at
the guns and at signal station with

a dialogue between the plaintiff and his
attorney. who begins the conversation
something like the following:
What is your name"
"JOse Emilio de Songissimo"
(Of course the defendant would at
once object to the witness having a
name like this and the objection would
be nOted)
What is your nationality"
II am a Filipino"
what is your business?"
II am engaged in the insurgent bust
ness"
How long have you worked at that
trade?"
About three years"
did you ever hear Of the remedy
known as the water cureY"
Yes, sir"
''FrOm whOm?"
"The United States soldiers"
Ibid they recommend it highlyw
"very"
'FOr what maladies?"
'Insurgentitis." t
"Did they prevail on you to take the
water cure?"

vailed OH me-
'Will you state plainly. Jose. to the
jury just how this water cure was
administered"
'The soldiers bound me securely and
while five held me the sixth inserted IL

water cure Is an internal remedy?'
Both internal and external, sir; you

object and an expert specialist OH the
capacity Of the human stomach would
be called on to testify.)
"Will you kindly state to the jury
what discomfort this caused you, il
any,"
Il experienced Il moist sensation and
feeling of fullness that seemed to
border on the point of explosion. This
was probably due to the fact that
am not accustomed to taking water in
such large quantities."
Did the soldiers hold any cOnversa-
ton with you while they were admin

Yes, they asked me to tell all the
