BOSTON, Mass, Oct. a1.-Goat's

ITALY OUTLOOK
rs ALARMING
King Victor is UP Against It in Sew
eraI Ways Just at
Present.

VIENNA, Oct 81. The outlook in
Italy today is most alarming. King
yictor's forces in Tripoli are threaten
ed with worse than the disaster which
has already overtaken them. There is
danger of clash with Austria.
African news is still meagre, owing
to the Italian control of the cables
but 1t seems certain that the Turks
have re-occupied the outskirts of the
city of Tripoli and are likely to drive
the Italians out entirely. Reports
that the later lost 5000 killed and had
1000 taken prisoner are accepted here
as true.
Whether 1t is true that the Rome
government is mobilizing 100000
troops as the reports from Rome
claim. information here leaves no
doubt that troops are being quietly
collected for fresh expedition into
Africa, but there will be a great deal
of trouble with the soldiers them
selves. who in some cases are deciu.
edly mutinous.
Austria is very much exercised over
the report apparently confirmed, that
Italy today seized the Turkish islands
of Lesbos and Rhodes as part Of their
demonstration in Turkish waters
Austria will probably demand that
these islands be returned to Turkey
Immediately and this may precipitate
6 clash between Austria and Italy.

S1.-The committee chosen by Cover
nor McGovern to manage the contribu-

The machinery is in good condition
and will be operated by an engine
until the dam Is rebuilt.

completed and carloads of merchan-
disc and produce shipped into the
city to restock stores are being haul
ed across by teams and placed in
temporary structures and residences
which will serve for trading stands

the big firms, the Jones company, has
its stock Of wares displayed in the
Episcopal church.
