Retreat aboard sShips or suffer En-

tant.

London, Oct. 80 That the Italians
have suffered heavy reverse in Tri-
| poll ana that the army Of occupation
there is in grave danger is indicated by
messages today at every important
capital in Europe.
Official denial-such denials ire.
Quently being the first announcements
of what is really the TRUTHS even is
sued in Rome OF report that the
Turkish troops have reoccupied the
city OF Tripoli after terrific battle in
which thousands on both sides" were
killed.
Without going go far as to claim the
recapture OF the city, Constantinople
accounts assert that the combined
Turkish and Arab forces drove the
Italian troops back from their advanced
position into Tripoli where they are
now in precarious position and mo-
nentariy liable to q choice between
determination and retreat aboard
ship.
More significant than all, there
comes from tile Italians themselves at
Tripoli. by way of Rome, an admis-
sion that the north African situation
has suddenly become more critical
and that an urgent cnll for reinforce
menls has been granted.
The Turkish embassy in London has
received word that the Arabs in the
Tripolitan interior, belatedly informed
OF doiags at th. coast are hurrylng to
the front and that from now on the
Italians will meet daily with greater re-
sistance. The embassy admits heavy
Turkish losses, but says those OF the
Italians were greater still 10 the recent
fighting about Tripoi and Benghazl.
The rank and file OF the Italian troops,
it is stated, are 80 panicky as to be al
most entirely out OF their officers con-
troll. Iustead of treating Turkish and
Arabs as prisoners OF war, it is charged
that the Italians are shooting them by
the hundreds.
Grave danger for the Italian govern
ment is seen here in the news OF
disaster 10 North Africa. News OF 1t
may lie suppressed in Italy for time
but in the end it is sure to leak out.
TIE anti miltarists have been work
ing for Just such an opportunity for
a demonstration and in the present
state OF Italian public opinion, an out
break OF the kind cannot fail, it is be-
lieyed here to threaten an actual reyo-
luton.

Motion Overruled.
CONVICTION A DEATH BLOW

,,rrow,s scathing Criticism of Judge
uordwell-Lawyer for Defense May be
cited TO ;Appearand1AnsWer Charge OF
Contempt.
Los Angeles. CAL, Oct. 30.-Deter-
mined to force Jurors Frampton and
Winter from the box without being
compelled to waste peremptory chal-
lenges, the defense in the Mcnamara
trial renewed,5it efforts when court
reconyened today to compel Judge
,Bordwell to recognize the challenges
AGAINST both, because they said they
held conscientious scruples against
infiicting the death penalty on cir
cumstantial evidence. Attorney Dar-
row and his associates held a confer
ence before court opened, and decided
that if.Judge Bordwell refused to en-
terrain such challenge, they will
later try to impeach both men. They
have witnesses who will swear that
both men frequently expressed the
opinion that the defendant was gull
ty.
It is rumored that Bordwell, exer-
cised over DarroW's action. is consid-
erine the adyisability of citing him
for contempt and forcing him to ex-
plain. The court, however, refuses
to comment on the case outside OF
the court room, intimating that any
action he may take will be in the
court room and no where else.
Both sides are admittedly con-
cerned over the report Of the Indian
apolls proceedings. Fredericks Is
extremely confident, and his inti-
mates have already been assured that
the evidence there will be brought
here in plenty Of time for use. Dar-
row says he doesn't care. and pro-
fesses to wonder why, if the state
has the extremely strong case Detec-
tive Burns has been boasting of. 1t Is
so anxious for all this outside matter,
and IS fighting SO bitterly to compel
the defendant to accept opinionated
Jurors as final arbiters.
Los Angeles, Oct. 30.-After con-
siderable heated argument today
Judge Bordwell, in the Mcnamara
case, finally overruled the defense's
challenge of veniremen Frampton
and Winter.

Washington. D. c.. Oct. 30.-To-
days dispatches from China. re-
counting the concessions made to
the revolutionists and the national
assembly by the Imperial govern
ment. bear out almost completely
the predictions made in the State De-
partment some days ago.
The expected outcome of the revo-
luton is expressed in the Department
by the one word compromise. :"
Yuan Shih Kai, similarly, is looked
upon as the pivotal parsonage.
Now that Yuan has succeeded in
wringing from the imperial govern
ment everything he wished in the
way Of authority and complete dis
cretion in the situation, speedy ad-
justment of the troubles is expected.
A new government is inevitable, it is
believed, monarchial in form, but as
popular in fact as that of Great Bri-
tain.
Yuan is a progressive, and a Chin
ese, who has fought the despotic
Manchu government. 4 However, he
has also opposed his owr party, de-
claring that they we're attempting to
introduce reforms too precipately.
Because he occupies a sort Of middle
ground. and because he is a popular
man, and natural leader and
statesman.
Washington looks TO see him sue
cessful in his attempt to bring order
out of chaos and establish a New
China.
Though officials who have been in
China believe that the people possess
unusual capabilities for forming the
basis of a republican form Of govern
ment, Washington doubts the feast
bility Of an attempt to set up a re-
public at this time. A liberalzed
government will be welcomed by the
State Department, as it would be
sure to welcome foreigners and their
modern means for developing Chinas
vast resources. The United States
for whom all China entertains an
unusual friendly feeling, would be
certain TO win alarge share in all
development projects.
