President Taft Believes In Peace
Treaties, But Thinks Battleships
Are Needed

New York-Fresh from his cross
continent tour, during which he re-
ceived senatorial pledges which seem
to indicate the early ratification of the
arbitration treaties with Great Brit
ain and France, President Taft, from
the windswept bridge of the historic
little cruiser-yacht Mayfower. on
Thursday reviewed the mightiest line
of fighting craft ever assembled under
the American flag.
The president had indicated in all
his speeches in advocacy of the treat
les of peace, that he entertained no
fond delusion that war, by convention,
could Immediately be made a thing of
the past. He declared the treaties
were step in the right direction;
that the armed camp Of Europe were
looking to the United States to lead
in what might prove to be a great
world movement toward the goal of
peace, but that for long time to
come, the suggestion of disarmament
would have no force.
Thursday Mr.. Taft let It be known
that he would continue to urge upon
congress the necessity of building at
least two super-dreadnaught a year
until the Panama canal is in actual
operation.

SAYS ITALIANS ARE CRUEL.
English Correspondent Makes Seri.
GUS Charges Against Soldiers of
Italy at Tripoli.

London.-A news agency has re-
ceived the following from a CORE
spondent at Tripo1:
Il feel it my duty to send to you
the following telegram and l beg you
in the name of Christianity to pub
fish it throughout England. l am an
English officer now voluntarily serv-
ing in the Turkish army here.
"As you know already about the fe-
rocious resistance which the Turks
and Arabs are Offering the Italians, |
will only express my admiration for
their bravery and fortitude, which
would warm the heart of any En-
world.
Imagine my feelings when, on
entering and driving the Italians out
of Arab houses which they had forti-
fled and were holding, we discovered
the bodies of some 120 women and
children with their hands and feet
bound, mutilated, pierced and torn.
Later on at (the name of the town
was lost in transmission) we found
a mosque filled with bodies of wom-
en- and children, mutilated almost be-
yond recognition. l could not count
them, but there must have been 300
or 400.
Even now we are getting news of
further massacres of women and
children who were discovered on diff
ferent farms lately occupied by ltal-
ians. The idea of the Italians when
they slaughtered the innocents OBJ
viously was one of revenge for their
heavy losses in battle"

MASSACRE IN CHINA
REBELS AT HANKOW PUT TO THE
SWORD BY THE IMPERlALlST
TROOPS AFTER BATTLE.
Slaughter of Defeated Soldiers and
Barbarous Outrages Perpetrated on
Innocent Persons Likely to Hin
der Peace Negotiations.

Pekin.-The massacre of natives at
liankow by imperialist troops, intel
ligence of which has reached both the
war board and the German legation,
may prove serious hindrance to the
peace negotiations which Yuan Shi
Kai has been endeavoring to inaugll-
rate with the rebel leaders. The i'm
perialists apparently have got beyond
control and further fighting is feared.
In such a case it will be difficult to
protect the foreign concessions, as
they are divided from the native city
by streets only fifty or sixty feet wide.
1t is reported that the war board at
Pekin has declined to accept the sug-
gestion of foreign doctors to form a
Red Cross society on the lines of the
Geneva convention, the board seeming
to feel that the rebels do not deserve
humane treatment The massacre ac-
cording to some advices, began before
the departure of General Yin Tchang.
The exodus from Pekin continues,
the doors of many shops as we'll as
private houses being closed in antici-
patton of massacre.
In the fight at Hankow on October
% and 29, no prisoners were taken
by the imperialists. Rebels captured
alive were shot or decapitated.
1t is learned that the most barbarous
outrages were perpetrated on inno-
cent persons in the villages An Of
ficer of Yin Tchang's staff explained
that the outrages were committed by
only forty men of the Hu-Peh division.

Reports of Butcheries by italians Has
Aroused Indignation Of Turks and
Their Arab Allie, Who Vow
Vengeance Upon the Invaders.

London-Wireiess messages re-
ceived from Tripoli state that the
Turks and Arabs are ready to attack
Tripoli and that crushing defeat
for the Italians seems inevitable.
The message states the attack is
expected hourly. II the Turks and
their Arab allies are victorious 1t is
believed that one of the most ter
rible massacres In history will be the
result. 1t is known now beyond the
semblance of doubt that the ltal-
ians subjected their prisoners TO in
human cruelties as reported and
what will occur when the Turks re-
conquer Tripoli Europe shudders to
think of.
Delayed dispatches reporting ltal-
ian atrocities are coming in from all
points English. French and German
correspondents tell the same story of
Italian barbarism and pictures from
the front give the details. Signed
statements OF eye-witnesses are also
appearing in all the papers. In the
face of developments ltaly's official
denials of the acts attributed to her
