War with Italy Far from Being the "Opera
Bouffe" 1t Is Supposed to Be.

I the plantations. We were between two
fires and couldn't bulge for an hour.
| After getting away from where the
| troops were attacked in the rear, near
Shara Shiaf, I crawled along through
trenches and made my way around un-
der cover OF plantations in company
with a detachment OF the Italian troops
until l was able to reach a deserted
| Turkish house on the southern limit OF
the line of outposts, and there had to
stay from about noon. when 1 reached
| 1t, until late in the afternoon.
Il had nothing to eat all day. The
house had an enormous courtyard Of the
customary type, and all the afternoon
prisoners were being brought in in
patches. There was no attempt made at
! inquiring into individual cases; nothing
approaching a trial or court-martial.
After some little time an officer ar
rived, and from that time on the SOL
diers who had caught prisoners marched
| them out to the trenches and shot them
in patches as fast as they were brought
in. They were splendidly indifferent to
| their fate, the majority of them main
! tanning a stolid silence. and making no
attempt to protest or resist.
Whole basketfuls of arms were
brought in. an extraordinary conglomera-
ton. British bayonets, French bayonets,
old horse pistols, fintlocks, and blunder--
buses. the majority OF them utterly
useless. They had been taken from the
prisoners. and had evidently been served
| out to the Arabs by the Turks, more to
make show than for any practical use
they could possibly be.
Marched on and Shot.
Among the prisoners were several
patches who protested vigorously hat
they were innocent of having taken any
part in the hostilities against the Ital-
ians. They had been caught In the plan
tations from which the rear attack had
come, but they maintained that they had
been gathering dates, and in confirma-
ton OF this drew out handfuls of dates
from the pockets Of their voluminous
robes. The only answer they received
was to be clouted with the butts Of RI
fies by their captors. They were marched
OF like the rest and shot in the back,
just outside the house.
II went out at the back, some little
distance from the house, as a large gang
of them-forty or more-were being led
out to their death, Most OF these, I'M
like the fighting men who had been
taken red-handed under arms, were Ia
menting their fate bitterly, and suddenly
the whole group broke and fed in differ
ent directions, shrieking and yelling.
"A fusillade promptly followed, their
escort firing on them as they ran. Sew
eral of them fell wounded. A number
ran toward me. evidently thinking that
the Italians would not IRE on them for
fear of wounding a white man. But their

Directly opposite the entrance Is the
prayer:

Some prisoner, preparatory to signing

London, Nov. PA graphic account OF
the Italian-Turco conflict is given by a
staff photographer for the Daily Mirror,
who has just returned from Tripoli.
This is one of the first eyewitness stories
of the massacre that aroused the world
to a realization of the seriousness of a
conflict that was at first regarded in the
light of an opera bouffe. The staff pho
tOgrapher says:
"It is a somewhat curious fact that l
drove to the front in cab. Yet 1t is
literally true, as the cab took me to the
very trenches where the italian soldiers
were repelling the Arab attack.
The driver was an Arab, and he could
have given points to a London cabby.
His legal fare was S1.25. He demanded
s. He accepted $3.50. 1 was admitted by
ticket. Yes; actually, as though I were
attending a football match. At the
trench 1 presented my permit, signed h
Gen. Caneva, to the commanding ofticer.
Then I was allowed anywhere.
81 photographed batteries which were
pounding away at the Turkish lines, and
came through a native cemetery, where
Turkish bullets were chipping pieces OF
tombstones. Overhead, too, the bullets
were pinging past me. Then l saw some
Italian rifiemen in a lane between date
plantations. The officer signaled to me
to lie down, but didn't understand him
till a shower of bullets around me
translated his signs.
Arabs Fired Under Cover.
"A few moments later a volley came
into us from behind. The rebel Arabs in
the city were firing from the cover of
