Popular Suspicion is Italian
Forces in Tripoli Are in
Bad Way.
" united Press WIG.

Nice, Nov. 1.-Anarchists are be-
ing arrested wholesale throughout
Italy according TO today's advlces
from across the frontier. The cults
propagandists have been working so
effectively among the soldiers bound
foF Tripoli that enormous numbers
of them are said to be dangerously
disaffected. The shooting Of Colonel
Stroppa by Private Mesetti at Bolo-
gna, Monday, is understood TO have
been only one of good many cases
of the kind. A number of officers
are reported to have been shot by
their own men in action in Tripoli
Matters are being made worse for
the government by the popular sus-
piclon that the italian forces in Tri-
poll are in bad way, and that the
fact is being concealed from the
country by the censorship. Rumors OF
this kind areinot only facilitating the
-milltarists work, but dampening
the enthusiasm so essential to the ad-
inipistration TO get successfully
through with the campaign.
