fort almost impossible. AS to the
no doubt. The streets and even the
quay were blocked, there was no tele-
phone, the situation permitted little
signalling The landmarks of the
city were so completely removed that
often detachment must have found
it hard to identify its allotted sector.
Water communication there was prac-
tically none. One or two torpedo
boats doing an omnibus service along
the waterfront would have been sim
ply availaoie Messages had to be
carried on foot through streets that
wanted an AIpinist. to negotiate them
quickly. On New Years day I saw
the first horses being landed for the
officers, and today I read that yester-
day the first beast-driven vehicles
moved III ruined Messina.
As to both the army and navy, it
should be recalled that it was the
height OF the holiday season, and
many of the officers and men were on
leave and could not rejoin their COM
mands in time. The matter of the
wrecking tools raises a rather deli
cate question. 1t seems that troops
sent to city known to be destroyed
by an earthquake should have been
equipped not with rifles, but with
picks. ropes, and crowbars. At Ma
pies, Catania, and Palermo were
plenty procurable within a day. As
a matter of fact the authorities de
pended for this work upon the mere
handful of sappGrs in each battalion
and upon the small contingent of the
engineers that could be promptly
sent. AS for tools, the Russian
SQUADS of which I saw many at work,
carried merely rather light croWbars,
heavy hooks. and coils of rope. 1t
was about all the apparatus that could
be used in the conditions. l submit
that there was rope enough on the
battleships and liners, and steel bars
enough in their machine shops to
have fitted out a hundred squads OF
life savers. 1t simply occurred 70 no
one that engine ering work could be
done otherwise than by the book.
Facing an Emergency.
I realize perfectly how easy it is to
think of these things afterwards, in
the quiet of Capri, far from the sight
and stencil Of Messina, but | plead
also that military efficiency is meas
ured by the ability to deal sharply
with emergencies not covered by the
books. BetwC en- the bad harbor serv-
ice al Messina and the paralysis OF
the troops before the tangled ruins
there is no aus stiOn that ten thousand
lives were lost that might have been
saved The real nature Of the prob
lem of getting the wounded aboard
ship and the living captives out OF
the ruins was not even apprehended
bv those in control. This conclusion
| I think, is unacceptable. Here is no
| intention to cast the slightest dis.
! credit upon those who brought brave
| hearts and willing hands to an un
paralIeled and appallingly difficult en-
terprise. II nothing like Messina
could ever recur it might be best tc
say the smooth things only. But il
! time Of war or cataClysmic disaster
these conditions in a measure will re
cur, and d candid admission of the
errors at Messina may save lives II
time to come.
And, after all perhaps, the case
boi,s down to one of individual initia
tive. The Italian merchant marine

PECULIAR AFFAIR
OCCURS At STIGLER

kell County Prosecutor in Sixty
Liquor Cases

Muskogee, Jan, Especial Prosecutor
Thomas H. Owen, who represents the
state in the liquor prosecutions, received
an urgent request yesterday from R. E.
Lozier, state dispensary agent, to proceed
to Stigler, Ok, today to assist the county
prosecutor there in the prosecution Of
liquor cases.
A peculiar situation exists at Stigler
The Haskell county grand jury recently
took the matter in hand and returned
sixty indictments for the illegal sale of
liquor involving all the druggists of Stigler
The druggists then pooled their issues by
employing all the lawyers in Stieler, with
the single exception of the prosecutor
The prosecutor promptly laid the situation
before Mr. Lozier. who. in turn. appealed
to Attorney Owen for assistance. AS a
result Mr.. Owen left this morning
for Stigler and will assist the prosecutor
in the trial of all of the sixty cases. The
brother Of the Haskell county sheriff is
one of the druggists.
