MODERN OCEAN LINERS.

In the hands of skillful marine
architect much more has been accom-
pIished with steel construction than
the mere e'onomy Of space. The safe
~ of vessels at sea has been enor-
mouSly Increased until in the highest
type of modern ocean liners the ee-
ment of danger is virtually eliminated
The marvellous ingenuity displayed
throughout this great fabric of steel in
guarding against every possible con
tingency OF the sea comes to the av.
erage landSman as a surprise. A great
liner of 5000 tons may be controlled
by a single hand The complicated
machinery for safeguarding the ship
is practically automatic.
The bottom of the great hull of the
liner is doubled, the inner shell being
strong enough to float the ship even
if the outer bull be completely torn
away 1t is exceedingly unlikely that
water would ever reach this inner
shell through accident to the main hull,
but the precaution is taken so that if
It should strike q hidden object 1t will
prove absolutely invulnerable. The
shipwrecks of the past caused by run
ming upon hidden rocks. derelicts and

When Parasols Began.
Parasols when they first came into

the days Of Louis XIV. At that time
it was possible when crossing bridge
in Paris to hire parasol at one end
and deposit it at the other. the charge
for the accommodation being a sou.
Under the regency fashion went to
the other extreme. Mems parasols
folded into the shape of a three cor
nered hat and could thus be carried
elegantly under the arm. Ladies' par
asols were hinged, SO that they could
slip into the pocket, for ladies had
pockets then.-London Spectator.

or lacking in ability to impose obedience
on it's dependents-a government which
has failed to keep toward Italy its inter-
national duties
The conflict which appears to have
broken out between Italy and Turkey is
only the epilogue of a long series of
vexations and abuses even more real
than apparent, against Italy and Italians,
by the authorities OF the Ottoman en-
pre-, the statement begins.
Italy was compelled to give up any
and every hope of a peaceful settlement
with Turkey. Having lost faith in the
many vain words and promises given by
Turkey in late years. and having lost
patience. she decided to abandon her
policy Of forbearance which might be
interpreted as a sign Of weakness and
an acknowledgment of inferiority. Italy
has firmly resolved to obtain with the
greatet energy the respect Of her own
rights and the protection of her own in
terests.
The blame will fall upon those who
for the last three years have daily pro-
voked US, causing, by way OF small or
serious incidents, an atmosphere Of hos
tility in the several provinces of the en-
pire, and especially Tripolitania, thus
rendering uncertain the safety of the
Italian subjects and endangering the pur-
suit of peaceful commerce of Eritrea in
the Red Sea"

Zia PaSha Denies
Seeking TaH's Aid

New York. Oct. 1.-Youssouf Zia Pasha,
the Turkish Ambassador has issued from
his summer home in Bellport, Lond Is
land, a statement through Vahan Card
ashIan, counsel and statistician of the
Ottoman chamber of commerce in this
city, denying the published interview in
which he was quoted as saying that the
Italian-Turkish war furnished an oppor-
tunity for President Taft to offer to me-
diate between the two countries.
Mr.. Gardashian in an interview said
he spoke with the authorization of the
Ambassador, and what he had to say fol-
lowed a conference with Zia Pasha in
Bellport-
Turkey not being the aggressor," he
said, 'it would not do fer her to ask any
nation to mediate, and she deplores the
precipitate action of Italy and believes
that 1t is not too late TO arrive at an
amicable understanding and adjustment
of differences. The statement to the ef-
feet that the Ambassador said that now
is the opportunity for President Taft to
extend an offer to mediate is false. He
never made such a statement"

News of War Is Awaited by
Colony in Washington.

washingtons italian colony, while deep
ly interested in the Turko-Italian war,
is receiving news from the front with
no outward show of excitement. There
are about 5000 Italians in Washington,
according to Pietro A Radice, president
of the Soggi Felice Cavalatto Society,
and every one OF this number, he says,
has no doubt of the outcome of the con-
fiict.
The italians here believe that Italy is
fully able to cope with the situation with
out calling for aid from her sons in this
country" Mr.. Felice said last night.
The colony here is. of course, greatly
interested in the news from the scene OF
war, and the American and Italian pa
pers are eagerly awaited every day.
Our society plans no demonstration
now, and do not think such a step will
be necessary. The Italians are Patrt-
otic people, and should occasion arise
through possible complications of the war
trouble there would be every aid coming
from them"

SEES PERIL AHEAD
FOR CHRISTIANS
Former Ambassador Straus
Hopes for Mediation.

New York, Oct 1.-Following his sug-
gestion of prompt mediation by the Unit
ed States between Italy and Turkey to
prevent the spread of hostilities and the
possible embodiment of other nations,
made in his telegram sent to Secretary
Knox on Friday, Oscar S. Straus, former
United States Ambassador to Turkey, is
waiting to learn what the State Depart
ment thought of his plan to act under
The Hague peace treaties.
II fear that the war" said Mr.. Straus,
will not be confined to Tripon, and that
II will cause uprisings in Turkey and con-
f1icts with the Balkan States. In the face
of such possibility II is better that the
offices of mediation should be employed
now than to await such eventualities,
which may bring about conflicts that will
arouse the antagonism of the powers not
only against Turkey. but against one
another"
rs this war likely to arouse the an
tagonism OF the Turks against all Chris
tians Americans and other Europeans
as we'll as Italians?" he was asked.
That is quite possible" said Mr..
Straus. There may be general upris-
ings of the people, and mobs make no
discrimination
So far as her army was concerned.
Mr.. Straus continued, Turkey was we'll
equipped for The struggle. II regard the
Turkish army he said. "as equal TO
any in Europe in courage. durability.
and efficiency. 1t is commanded by ca
pable officers, thanks to the skill and
genius of Germany's greatest general,
Gen. Won der Goltz, who devoted the
best years Of his life to training the
Turkish army
The head Of the army, Schefket
Pasha." continued Mr.. Straus, lis as fine
a soldier as 1 ever met. He is a man OF
great executive ability and a gallant
leader. He was head of the army corps
that marched from Saloniki to Constan-
tinOple and deposed the Sultan.
The Turkish soldier doesn't know
what fear is. He can live on less and
endure more than any other soldier in
the world. He is an efficient fighting
machine, and religion intensifles his pa
triotism."
The Turks fatalism, Mr.. Straus de-
clared, was a factor in his makeup to
be reckoned with in assessing his value
as a fighter.
Mr.. Straus did not accede to the view
that this country had no right to offer
its services as arbitrator until they were
asked by the parties at war. Our coun-
try" he asserted. is not only perfectly
justified to offer its good offices, but
the very fact that our country is not
hampered by alliances imposes, as II
were, that obligation upon our govern
ment.''
