Iondon. Nov. 4-Italian crueltles
in Tripoli. and the wholesale msfssa-
cre OF men, women and children now
being engaged in by the Italian troops
in Northern Africa. may lead very
shortly to concerted demand by the
powers that Italy observe the rules OF
civilized warfare.
Some of the European powers. IL
can be stated with definiteness nave
sent notices to the various 1orelsh
Offices, sounding the continental gov
ernments upon their attitude IN max
ing q formal demand that these bar
barities cease and then to force COM
pliance with this demand with armed
strength, if necessary.
The powers which admit their ab-
solute horror at the cowardiy cruelty
of the massacres by the Italians point
To the American war with Spain as
ample precedent for an armed demanc
that Italy at least observe the pro-
prieties OF decent warfare. AS one
of the signatories to the Geneva trea-
~, which insures non-combatants I'M
munity from death, and prisoners OF
war freedom from torture, Italy has
placed herself in q position OF nav
ing violated every clause OF that hu-
name document.
Premier Giolitti's denials of Italian
atrocities in Tripoli have failed TO
eradicate the impression that no cirl-
lized power has ever waged such ter
rible slaughter under the guise OF
war English correspondents who
have returned from Africa have set
England aflame with their stories OF
slaughter of innocent men and wo-
men. Parliament has heard the mat

Der from Yorkshire, inquired of for
eign secretary Sir Edward Gray il he
would not use his good offices to pre-
vent a repetition of the Saturnalia OF
slaughter. Gray deprecated the Ques-
lion as giving offense 10 a friendly
power.
But it is known that England in
common with Germany and Austria is
moving secretly to notify Italy that
her conduct is intolorable to civilized
nations.
Germany. always friendly TO- the
Turks, is aroused to fever pitch
by the stories of brutality that leak
out despite the rigid Italian censor
ship. The Kaiser's foreign office is
said to have interested itself in an
underground appeal to the other pow
ers to force Italy TO cease her mur-
ders.
Austria, Italy's hereditary foe. is
said to be on the point Of threatening
armed Intervention if the murders are
not stopped.
The stories Of 1taly's assassinations
in Tripoli are too terrible to repeat.
Thousands of men, women and child
rem have been shot to death without
the semblarce of trial. The oasis
outside Of Trpoli is a vast stencil
place, caused by the hundreds Of
bodies left lying there after the ltal-
ian murderers have ceased their
slaughter. Prisoners are not taken
no quarter is given. despite the rule
Of war that such conduct is intoler-
able. War correspondents who nave
Witnessed the greatest wars Of modern
times declare such scenes have never
