ROOSEYELT RUMPuS.

- OLONEL ROOSEVELT surely knows how to
~ keep himself before the public and TO engage
the admiration of the hero worshippers whose ad-
miration however is often tickle as Admiral Dewey
and some others can testify. There is another
Rooseveltian rumpus in New York city. The Col
onel is scorning' peace dinner bid. There is to
be a Citizens Peace dinner in New York on Sat-
urday night and the time is ripe for demonstra-
ion for peace, considering the fact that there are
wars in the east accompanied with unusual atroci-
ties, as if in mockery OF the Christmas spirit.
Mr. Taft is scheduled as one Of the speakers at
the peace dinner, and rightly so for the President
has done much TO advance the cause OF peace The
promoters OF the dinner however, did not know
how TO handle the Colonel. He got an invitation
and he didn't is the story that the peace promoters
are trying to straighten out
They wondered some Of them, whether it would
be appropriate TO bring Roosevelt and Taft TO-
gether and then they wondered whether a man Of
strenuosity and warlike makeup would be peace
full at a peace meeting. Altogether there is war
in the peace committee ruction they call it, just
as there is likely to be ruction in everything with
which the Colonel is connected.

ALERT CALIFORNIA WOMEN

THE largest state in which women have the
\ right to vote is California and an uncom-
monty active and energetic set of women leaders
has already developed there, although it was only
recently that women won the suffrage
At the Los Angeles election they poed a large
vote as large, in proportion, as that Of the men,
census has revealed that there will be more
women voters than men in the entire state.
The census was taken under the direction of the
Womens Progressive League Of Los Angeles. 1t
shows that in the entire state 670 l40 women and
$4,000 men arc eligible to vote This does not
look as if the women we're slow in registering.
The Civic Betterment Committee OF the League
has decided to1carry on a campaign OF education
among the women voters. They are TO put a large
hand into the Presidential primaries.
The women politicians have had remarkable sue
cess in qualifying their voters, and the women will
be a new and important factor in the next Presi-
Dental election. Soon they will be holding Offices
in California and they will begin to aspire to the
high places.
In a few years in the natural order of political
events women will sit in the United States Senate
and be members OF Congress. II may not be long
before we shall have women governors in some OF
the states. At present woman wishes to be

noThe ferialy changed the political complexion of
those States. They divide on party lines as the
men do, and it is yet TO be demonstrated that in

mon. But for this result to be reached the oppo'
nents of Governor Wilson will have to do great
deal of work
According TO the sounding of sentiment by the
coterie headed by Mr. Willard Salisbury, ninety
seven per cent of the Democrats are for Wilson
and three per cent. are in opposition. The latter
are supposed to be divided among Harmon, Champ

ROME, December 2S.-Following
the actual declaration of war and the
almost simultaneous blockade of the
coast of Tripoli and Cyrenaica, Italys
soldiers and sailors at once occupied
the principal cities Of the two proyi-
inces.
At all Of the four principal fortified
coast cities, Tripoli, HONS, Bengasi
and Tobruk, nominal resistance was
offered to the naval occupation but IN
each case this was easily overcome
by the large Italian navy, without
serious loss to the Italians, with the
exception of Bengasi. There an eff
fort was made to land marines in a
heavy sea while the efforts of the
battleships to keep from blowing up
the powder magazines in the city,
which would completely demolished
the place kept their fire from being
very effective and the Italians suffer
ed heavily especially in the first at
tempt which had to be abandoned.
In the second attempt a successful
landing and occupation was effected.
At all four of the cities, the Italion
fleet confined its efforts merely to de-
molishing the forts and entrench-
ments and every possible effort was
put forth to keep from iniiicting any
/ unnecessary danger to private and
business property within the cities
In the main, this effort was success
! full, and after the forts had been re-
duced and abandoned by the enemy a
landing was made and the formal con.
troll of the cities taken over by the
/ Italians.
In each case many of the Arat
tribes submitted peacefully and the
first phase of the occupation was
very much like that of a welcome tC
Italian control Immediately follow
ing the naval occupation, the military
| expeditions which had been forming
for weeks at the various ports o
Italy set sail with great secrecy, under
heavy naval escort, and troops were
later landed at the four cities, linei
of fortifcations and trenches throw
up and complete occupation fully es
tablished.
At this time and for some little
time thereafter there was every in
dication that the occupation was go
ing to be a very peaceful and cas-,
affair. This was especially the cas-
at Tripoli, where, although Their
were night attacks from the Arab
and the Turkish tribes without, ye
they were attacks that were easil,
repulsed and indications were tha
there was little thought of very ser
ious opposition.
AS a consequence, Italy gave its at
tention largely at this time to tn
carrying out of the implied promise
it had made in occupying the tw
