This was learned from messages in

Landing of a whole army corps in
Tripoli is looked upon as one OF the
most difficult operations of the war,
despite the fact that little fear of an
attack by the enemy is entertained.
Accordingly every precaution for the
safety OF the troops has been taken.
The battleship convoy covers a NOV

long. Within this square the trans.
ports appear secure from any danger

A "Prjmitive" Painter.

Henri Rousseau, man who used to
hold a minor government position in
France, was for quarter of CEN
tury the joke Of artists and art students
in Paris. For years in the independ-
ent salon he showed daubs which
had not the most distant kinship with
art. Some of his famous pictures
were LADY on Sofa In a Jungle"
a "Tiger In Jungle" "Nigger In
Jungle" He affected jungles, which
consisted of innumerable parallel green
lines to represent grass; the tiger was
a painted wooden toy; the lady looked
as If she had come out Of a Noah's
ark The unfortunate Rousseau went
on exhibiting the same sort Of work
every year, and the painful thing was
that he gradually became a celebrity.
Sinister humorists told him he had
genius, and he took himself quite Sc
riously. II am real primitive" he
would say. Some practical jokers even
went the length Of buying his pictures.

Little restaurants are scattered along
the cliff overlooking the bay Of Capri,
and here by the waters edge you can
sit and sip and gaze at Vesuvius away
off in the distance or perhaps at the
water in the bay below.
The most beautiful water in the
world! The blue water of the grotto
Is more mystical, perhaps, but the wa
ter Of the bay of Capri is more ex-
quisite. 1t is wonderful pale green,
with greener, darker color streaked
through it. There is no other water
like it in all the world.
And here in the little restaurant you
sit and sit, gazing at the water below,
although you know in your heart you
ought to be seeing the rest Of the
place. But the water is so green and
beautiful that when the warning whis-
tie Of the Naples steamer blows you
awake with a start and realize you
