 War Is Again
 Soaring Europe

London, Oct. 1.-The bogey of the extension of the Turko-Italian war to Europe with all it's possibilities of in- ternational complications has once more raised it's head. A despatch from Rome received here today, says that Italy is preparing to withdraw a DOT tion of it's fleet from Tripoli and will occupy several islands of the archi- pelago.
 The despatch also asserts that the bombardment of Smyrna and attack upon the Dardanellas is contemplated by the Romanian government if Fur key still refuses to accept the Italian terms
 The significance of this news is in creased by the action of the Turkish government in ordering the expulsion from Turkey of all Italian professors and schoolmasters and the permanent closing of all Italian scholastic insti- tutions. This is the second decree Of expulsion issued. These decrees are believed here to indicate that the Young Turks are succeeding in forc- ing their militant policy on the Sul- tan and that an order calling for the general expulsion of Italians from the empire will soon be issued

SKILLED NOVELISTS
UNEQUAL STRUGGLE

NEW YORK, Nov 25-Following
the death of Miss Sarah Jackman
in squalid rooms at 2107 Madison av-
enue, came to light today the story Of
the unequal struggle for existence of
the once we'll known novelist. Her
pen, once facile, had lost its power
and when income was most needed,
she found herself unable to find pub
fishers TO take her stories Her last
despairing effort was an unfinished
story The Serpents Trail,' which
was founded on the incidents of the
life and trial of Henry Clay Beattie,
jr, and oddly enough her death came
at the hour when thousands were read
ing the reports of the murderers exc
cution.
In one of the two little rooms where
Miss Jackman lived with her mother
and younger sister, she had worked all
night on the story. In the other room
was her mother, stricken with pneu.
monia, and the sister, also, too i'll to
move. Suddenly the pen dropped
from her hand and she fell dead.

Every dber and every cell that enters
into the formation Of living body is
bathed in moisture. by which means
alone these ultimate elements are kept
alive and are enabled to carry out their
duties. Even the bones. which appear
to be the most solid Of all, owe more
than half their weight to the presence
of fluid. That our bodies contain a
large amount Of fluid Is proved in a
striking manner by the blisters which
rise after the infliction Of a burn.
