Press Violent in Tone.

TTCSo lSIC'b III WIG
The principal newspapers use Ian
guage of unmeasured violence against
the Italians, while the Ottoman people
are advised to show their patriotism
by the strictest boycott of Italian prod
ucts and at the same time to treat
the Italians in Turkey as guests.
The government has decided to
strengthen it's military forces on the
Greek and Montenegrin frontiers.
Importance Of Battle in Doubt
The official version at Constantine
pie of the naval engagement off Pre-
vesa differs from the earlier reports in
that it makes no mention of the land
ing of troops following the sinking OF
a Turkish torpedo boat destroyer by
an Italian cruiser.
News reached here from the city of
Tripoli to the effect that a large Italian
cruiser has gone ashore there.
Prevesa, the scene of the first en-
counter between the Italians and
Turks, is situated at the entrance Of
the Gulf of Arta, which lies at the

fire. Some Of them rushed to the bust
ness section, and were caught in the
water, for the flood travelled like a
race horse. Those not drowned were
crushed by the crumbling buildings,
and others were caught in the flames.
Little children playing in the yards
at home were caught up by the water
and tossed about on the flood like
p~laythings. Cattle and horses were
swept off, and even the sidewalks
we're orr up. And over and above
it all were the shrieks of the hundreds
of poor people who could not escape.
Only Four Buildings Left.
One thousand buildings were torn
from their foundations and crushed in
the flood or destroyed by fire. The
water made its way through the bust
ness section of the town, and left only
four buildings standing.
Food Supply Soon Exhausted.

ers from the valley and the food sup
ply was soon exhausted, as every gro
Gerry store with the exception of one
small establishment, was swept away.
Many went without their evening
meal, and unless help m they will
have no breakfast today.
Among the principal places de-
strOyed IA the plant of the Emporium
Lumber Company, not a vestige of it
being left. A part of the plant of the
Bayless Pulp and Paper Company,
whose dam gave way, also disappear

Commercial hotel and Davis house

Of persons persisted with the building.
One of the spots where the force
of the food was felt most severely
was at the junction of Freeman Run
with another small stream in the mid
die of the business section. The pri-
mary election was in progress in the
building not far away and many men
were in the vicinity. They did not
heed the warning shout and all Of
them are believed to have been car
ried away. Not a trace of the build
ing in which the election was being
held could be seen.
Man in Auto Gives Warning.
At Costello, which was practically
destroyed by the raging water, the
people were warned by a young man
who sped through the valley in an au-
tomobile shouting to the people to
take to the hills. His course vas over
a rock road through the narrow val
ley, but he maintained a lead owe the
rushing water and arrived at the little
hamlet in time to spread the news be-
fore the flood arrived.
The first alarm of the dam breaking
was given by a Bell telephone line
man, who saw the advance of the wa
ter from the top of a pole. He tore
open a long distance wire and notified
Galeton with his test set and then fed
to the hills, barely escaping with his
life.
The dam that broke was about half
a mile above the town. 1t was 500
feet long and 80 feet high. 1t backed
the water for more than a mile. The
dam was constructed of concrete ma
sonry. Only a year ago it threatened
to give way, but the damage was re-
paired in time to prevent a catastro.

The Committee of Union and Prog

nation:
Italy at length has unmasked her
hostile designs on Tripoli. The Italian
charge has handed a note to the Porte
announcing the occupation of Tripoli
province. The Ottoman prefers honor
to lie and Indignantly repels the Ital-

There will be war between the
two countries and our nation will en-
ploy every means against the enemy.
Tripoli will Courageously deend itself.
The Ottoman government will eXpel
all Italians from Turkey and Italian
schools and business houses will be
closed.
Our committee will employ all its
influence to cause these measures to
be applied in a calm spirit toward the
nation which has trod under foot u
most sacred rights. We beg the popu-
lation to remain tranquil and leave to
the government the duty of acting
against the Italians, thus demonstrate
ing hat Ottomans are more civilized

their government to the present &C
ton.

The experience of oregon in dealing with husbands that fail to support their wives Illustrates the fact that To- form laws do not always work out as intended. says an exchange. They may introduce evils that are as great as those they were designed to remove. Oregon has law that permits the county courts to pay over to wives s15O day when their husbands have been sentenced to work on the rock pile. Any man that fails to support his wife and children may be brought into court in oregon and be sentenced to imprisonment not less than % days nor more than one year. Any person convicted may be compelled to work upon the public roads or any other public work Of the country. pursuant to any law of this state. and during the term he so works the county court. in its discretion. may pay for the sup port Of his wife or his child not to ex- eeed sI5O."
 The law has brought forth numerous complaints by wives. some of whom would rather have the Sl.5O a day than their husbands. The opinion of wives in this matter Is probably right in the majority of cases. but the authorities find that the law has caused many permanent separations. After the term 6f Imprisonment and service on the rock pile husbands often fail to return Co their wives The judge of the coun- ty court and the deputy district at torney of Multinomah county are in a controversy as to whether the judge should always order payment of sl 50 day to the wives. The judge does moi always do go. In this he appears to be sustained by the law. which gives him discretion.

THE LOOKER-ON

Dr Sloan's address to the young men, is something they have needed for long time, and what should be called to their attention time and to the boys alone, but lectures prepar- ed for the girls and parents as we'll There Is weakness on the part Of parents to give the children the Topsy' method of being brought up. and it is entirely wrong.
 The habits and methodical methods inculcated in the youth is what keeps cropping out as the years roll by. A child who Is taught to spend his even- ings at home and becomes accustomed to home amusement and entertaining himself through the help of home as- .sociates is the coming citizen who is eyer ready and willing to answer any and all calls for home and country.
 The parents should make it their special duty to train the children out of school hours. and have them obey certain forms and rules for their guidance SD they will help the teacher during school hours by allowing them to devote all the time to teaching them their lessons. instead of from twenty five to fifty per cent of the time in instructing them what should have been mastered at home. and never should be made part of a school course.
