REPORTED ARMISTICE.

The Paris Matn in n dispatch from
Rome says that an armistice has been
arranged between Italy and Turkey.
The armistice, for which German
diplomacy has been striving for some
time, it is believed in Berlin, has prac.
tically been concluded, although moi
yet announced as official"
It is understood that the transporta'
ton Of the Italian military expedition
will not be interferred With, but that
hostilities in all quarters will cease,
This is considered by Berlin as equiva'
lent to the ending OF the war, or al
least the warlike movements, which
will now be succeeded by negotiation:
looking to a settlement.
1t is regarded as probable that AZ
soon as the strong Italian army ha:
once disembarked at Tripoli, even the
young Turk irreconcilables will begir
to recognize, as apparently the Otto
man government already does, tina
there is no hope of withholding Tripod
from Italy. Then it will be possible
for Turkey to enter into peate negotia
tons, with the prospect of reaching
less unsatisfactory conclusion thar
would result from continuation Of tht
conflict.

BIunders by NoveIists.

Novelists, even OF eminence, are
prone to make blunders. Sir Walter
Besant In For Faith and Freedom"
wrote after the Eykins had settled In
Providence, "Barnaby soon grew tired
of this quiet life and went on board a
steamer bound for England, promising
that we should hear from him." This
was In 1856 or 1857, and the first
steamer from America to this country
did not reach Liverpool till July, 1919.
Willde Collins also made numerous
amazing blunders. In THE Duel In
Herne Wood he makes the story open

COWS N. POTOMAC YARDS.
Virginia Won't Admit Them and
Their Own State Won't Take
Them Back.

Like Uncle Remus's blacksmith. who
could gain admission neither to heaven
nor to the other place, two forlorn
COWS, are marooned in the cattle pens
at Potomac Yards. Nobody wants
themiand they seem destined to re-

Vulcan, between the heavens aDd the

Said COWS were part OF shipment
Of two carloads OF cattle which some
enterprising New York dealer tried to
get by the state authorities without
the requisite test against tubercular
infection. One car was consigned to
Richmond man, and the other to res
ident OF Williamsburg.
Under the Virginia law cattle brought
into Virginia must carry certificate OF
testing signed by competent veterina.
rian, and approved by the state veteri-
marian where the shipment originates.
These cattle had the certificate. but it
was not approved by the New York
official. So when State Veterinarian
J. F. Ferneyhough, OF Virginia, was
notified, he ordered the cattle held up.
Then came agonizing appeals. The
New York officer declined to give his
approval 1t was found that two of
the COWS had reacted. The rest OF the
shipment was finally allowed to 20
through but the infected animals were
detained and barred from entry.
The shipper tried to get them back,
but DOW the New York State Veterina-
rian won't permit them to be shipped
into his state, for the same reason.
Nobody knows what is to become OF
them.
The law under which DR.. Ferney-
hough acted is regarded as OF the
highest Importance to Virginia, both
by the state veterinarian and by State
Dairy and Food Commissioner Saun-
ders. They have worked together for
such consummation, and are glad to
be furnished with weapon which they
can use to prevent infection to Virginia
cattle.
