TRIBESMEN BEGIN
WAR ON ITALY

Notwithstanding dreaded holy
war in Tripoli has been begun by Be
douin tribesmen, according to ad-
vices received here today. Dispatches
report that savage tribesmen, worked
into a fury by the play which the
Turks have made upon their religious
sentiments by declaring that Italy's
aggression is merely the forerunner
OF a movement to blot out Mohamme-
danism and force Christianity upon
them, have massacred 100 persons
near BenghaZi, including two priests.
The clericS murdered were the Rev.
Father Umberto, director of the Cath
Ollie Mission, and the Rev. Father Jo-
seph. Father Joseph was acting as
the guardian of several hundred slave
children who had been liberated by
Italians when he was killed.
The advices state that the massacre
started just before the Italians bonn
barded BenghaZi and that their bloody
work was temporarily interrupted by
the occupation of the city by the
Italian forces.
They have declared their purpose
to take no prisoners. but to put to the
sword every Christian that falls into
their power, it is further reported.
