Rome, Nov. 15.-Despite the denial
.Q Secretary Of State Knox that the
United States government was con-
sidering the possibility of Intervention
in the Turco-Italian imbrogio, the
Milan Secolo declares today emphati-
cally that tho American government,
through President Taft, is favorably
considering Italy's intimation to the
world powers that pacific mediation
would be acceptable to the qulrinal.
According To the Secolo, American
Ambassador OBrien has been official
ly notified by President Taft that tho
American chief executive was consid-
ering the matter and migat take some
definite action shortly.
Owing TO the rigid censorship. which
would have prevented the publication

Efforts are now being made to OBJ
tain truck which will replace the
animal drawn wagon troops in the
field. The ordinary commercial
truck is not suitable as a means of
transportation in the field, says Gen.
Aleshire, but a truck of a special
type has already been planned for
testing purposes.
The commercial truck Is usually
too heavy when loaded to be safely
used over country bridges and cul-
verts. The idea carried out in the
experimental truck is that with a
load of 5000 pounds, it Will not weigh
over 5000 pounds.

Washington. Nov i-That the Uni
ted states government is held up"
and made to pay cxorbitant prices
for coal and oil for fuel is the charge
made by Brig Gen. j. b, Aleshire,
Quartermaster General OF the army,
in his annual report now made pub
lie.
BY law, fuel supplies FOR the army
must be purchased under the bidding
system. the lowest bidder getting the
contract. Gen. Aleshiro says that un-
der the present system, bidders COM
municate the amount of their bids to
one another, and trade-agreements
keeping up high prices are thereby
maintained.
AS an example Of the excessive
prices demanded and obtained under
the bidding system, Gen. Aleshire
cites the case OF the transport Burn
side. operating between the Pacific
coast and the Philippines. on one
occasion it was necessary to coal tho
Burnside under an emergency without
asking bids. In open market, coal
was purchased at $500 ton. for l0O
tons. Previously, the army had paid
S5.25 per ton for the same grade oi
coal. under the bidding system. Foui
hundred dollars was saved on the on,
purchase. and II is estimated that by
buying regularly in the open market
$4,000 a year could be saved In Goa
purchases for this vessel alone. Sim.
liar conditions prevail ON the At
lantic coast and also in the purchases
of anthracite coal FOR use in army
posts.
General Aleshire asks that congress
give him authority to use his discre
ton i'm purchasing fuel so that The
government may escape the presen
system of excessive prices. Such
authority has already been granted tC

DEMAND MADE
FOR WATER WAY
BREAKERS At ToDAY's SESSION
OF ASSOCIATION UNANIMOUS
FOR CANAL.

Chicago, Oct. IA demand for i'm
mediate action looking toward the con-
struction of deep waterway from the
lakes to the gulf was urged by speak
ers at Fridays session of waterways
association. Unanimous approval OF
q plan to urge deeper channels from
the lakes to Cairo than originally had
been planned also was expressed. Gov.
Erberhard Of Minnesota said:
"The construction Of the lakes to
the gulf waterway involves not only
digging the channel not less than
eighteen feet deep and wide enough
to accommodate the increasing traf.
nc, but also the equipping OF docks,
wharves, warehouses, boats and load
ing and unloading facilities.
"That the total expense of equip
ment will be something more than the
estimates conceded, but even If IT
should be fifty per cent greater and
total more than $3OO,000,O00 it ought
to be q sound, financial investment"
Rev. Andrew Gray of Pekin. ILL.,,
described the proposed lakes to the
gull waterway as the biggest PROPOSE
ton engaging the attention OF the
American people. He was applauded
when he said it took a Roosevelt to
start the Panama canal and asked
what big man would win fame and
honor by starting the lakes to the gulf
waterway.
