MORE CONSER-
VATION TROUBLES.

Washington, Nov. ia new line
of conservation troubles for the Taft
administration became apparent in
Washington today, with former For
ester Clifford Pinchot and Secretary
of the Interior Fisher as the prospec-
tive participants.
While as yet no direct act has
characterized the opening of hostili-
tiles, the lines have been quietly
formed under the surface, and within
short time, the cheif Of the Con-
servation Congress, is expected to
a short time, the Chief Of the Con-
Alaskan policy of Taft's new Secre-
tary of the Interior. Both Fisher
and Pinchot have been quietly pre-
pairing for the contest for weeks, but
today neither would say when he ex-
pected to begin the fight.
Despite the endorsement of Fisher
by Pinchot when the new secretary
took office, the former Forester is
now quietly preparing magazine ar
ticle attacking the Fisher policies,
particularly as to Alaska. Pinchot
and Fisher both visited Alaska dur
ing the summer, and the former be-
lieves that Fisher failed to take
stock of the districts resources cor
rectly.
While the administration is pre-
pairing to demand Alaskan legislation
at the next session of Congress, it is
also preparing to withstand any at
tacks on the Fisher policies. Be-
tween these two angles, conservation
seems likely to become one Of the
big issues of the winter.
In addition to this imbroglio Sec
retary Fisher is confronted with the
possibility that he may have to take
up the active management Of the
Taft campaign for reelection, as
Chairman Of the Republican National
Committee. Fisher does not want
the job, as he says he is too busy to
attend to it, but many of the Presi-
dents political advisers are urging
him to give Fisher the place.

TO THE
UNITED STATES

Wash, Nov. 15.-An appeal to the
U. S. to intervene to prevent Wholesale
massacre by Italians in Tripoli was
contained In cable message received
today at the Offices OF the Senate. 1t
was addressed to the American Senate,
Washington, America, and read:
The Egyptian High Committee for
aid to Tripoli Justly indignant at the
news OF the atrocities committed by the
Italian army against an iDoffensive
population OF aged men, women and
children, and at the execution CT per-
sons alleged to be rebels but who are
simply defending their native soil
against the foreign invasion, protest en-.
cegeticsliy to the American Senate
against these wholesale massacres un-
worthy os a civilized nation.
The committee earnestly hopes that
Europe, hitherto silent before this ag-
gressive action OF Italy who has torn
up treaties guaranteeing the integrity
of the Ottoman empire, will at least
induce her to respect those principles
OF humanity common to all civilized
people and the unobseryance OF which
can only aggravate the calamities Of
the present war.

Severe Blow to Italy.

Rome, Nov, 15.-Despite the deni-
al Of Secretary Of State Knox that
the United States government was
considering the possibility Of inter-
vention in the Turco-Italian imbrog-
lio, the Milan Secolo declares today
emphatically that the American gov
ernment, through President Taft, is
favorably considering Italy's intim-
alton to the world powers that paci-
fc mediation would be acceptable to
the quirinal.
According to the paper American
Ambassador O'Brien has been official
iy notified by President Taft that
the American chief executive was
considering the matter, and might
take some definite action shortly.
Owing to the rigid censorship
which would have prevented the pub
lication of such an article without
government consent, the statement in
the paper is given considerable cred
ence by the Italian people. S.
That Turkey is in no mood to ac-
cept mediation or stop the war with
Italy is shown today when the Grand
Vizier issued a sweeping order that
every Italian within Turkish boundar-
les must be expelled from the country
within "a hours.
Every Italian found in Turkey after
the "a hours have passed will be con-
sidered prisoner of war, and held
il Turkish fortress untii peace is
declared.
This sweeping order is one OF the
severest blows Italy has suffered since
the beginning of the war, and will
mean a loss of millions Of dollars to
her citizens living in Turkish terri
tory.
