 "Our committee will employ all its influence to cause these measures to be applied in calm spirit towards the nation which has trodden under foot our most sacred rights. We beg the population to remain tranquil and to leave to the government the duty of acting against the Italians, thus demonstrating that Ottomans are more civilized than Italians who drove their government to the present action.
 We urge all children of the fathr erland to be united at this critical moment"
 The Turkish newspapers, while de- mandfng a struggle to the death against Italian aggression, also beg the people to remember that in- dividual Italians in the country are guests ana to treat them with all courtesy.
 It is stated at the ministry of marine that the crew of the Turkish destroyer sunk by the Italians in Prevesa harbor, yesterday, escaped. War Minister Chefket Pasha, in direct charge of the defensive opera tions, is hurrying troops to strategic points on the coast to resist Italian landings.

looks to Norfolk as a commercial hub,
the demand is felt. Everybody real.
ICES that.
The great problem in connection
with hospitals in small cities, is al.
ways the maintenance. As pointed
out by Or f. A. Long of Madison in
his response to Omaha's welcome to
the State Medical society Wednesday,
it is an open secret that private hos.
pitfalls in small towns, with rare eX.
ccptions, seldom pay. DIR. Longs sug.
gestion is that physicians and citizens
get together on some sort OF working
basis, the physicians bearing n share
of the losses in order to maintain the
hospital. In Norfolk no such sacrifice
would be necessary under the offer OF
the Episcopal church of Nebraska.
Under this plan, the only require
ment upon Norfolk people would be to
furnish the site and building. Bishop
Williams has expressed a willingness
to maintain hospitals in limited mum
Der of Nebraska cities. and Norfolk is
one to which the offer comes.
1t is no private hospital that Norfolk
wants. Such institutions, we are told
on every hand, seldom pay. Sooner
or later they become financial burdens
and in the end they are closed, serving
| only to discourage future hospital ef
forts.
But with the guarantee of a church
to perpetuate the institution not only
are the lowest possible rates assured
for the benefit of the public. but all
worry as to the future of the hospital
is done away with. II comes to stay
Norfolk has raised a good deal more
than $4,000 for many an institution
a hospital today. Norfolk enterprise
and progressiveness never yet have
failed to come to the front when the
city's needs demanded And the cost
of hospital is really small matter
when the importance of such an inst
tuition is recognized.
The directors of the Commercial
club have endorsed the plan of accept
ing the offer made by the Episcopal
church of Nebraska, through the Local
rector, Rev. ID. C. Colegrove, and it is
to be earnestly hoped that the club S
campaign for the funds needed to
| build the hospital, may meet with
prompt success. Norfolk never need
ed anything worse than it needs q

week. The things the senate did last
year to the paper tariff are still sore
subject among newspaper publishers.
This was no case where the tariff
makers sat in stuffed easy chairs and
submissiyely consumed cooked up fig.
ures representing only one side OF the
deal. Representative Mann Of Illinois,
a staunch protectionist, and his sub
committee spent eight months study.
ing paper They visited leading Amer.
lean and Canadian mills.
The committee established the fact
that the labor cost of making paper is
less in our country than In Canada.
They therefore recommended and
the house voted, that wood pulp come
in free, and that the paper duty be re.
duced from ST to So per ton But the
senate in its majestic and impregnable
wisdom raised the paper duty to 81
and the conference had to compromise
on 1915, subject also to conditions.
The argument has been formerly
used that cheap paper would promote
cheap and disreputable newspapers
given to attacks on property.
If motives of this character still tax
the distribution of information through
the newspaper, these people seem
reminiscent OF several centuries age
when they used to smash printing
presses. No doubt some of our higher
ups feel that the foundations of so
ciety would be safer were there nc
newspapers.
The paper trust, before the Payne
Aldrich hearings, showed that theii
earnings decreased from $2,13S,117 tc
81 ,623,6lG, in 1907. To this it was
said that paper which they sold in this
country for three cents was being mar
keted in Europe for less than two.
Leaving wholly one side the ques
ton of the need of the American in
dustry for the present measure of pro
lection, as a question on which there
are honest differences, there is a need
for free paper or at least for a very
low duty, for the protection of oul
trees.

rivers and perhaps rainfall too, must

THE TALLEST BUILDING.

Plans were announced in New York
the world, to be $50 feet high, includ.
ing a tower that will run up to the
fifty-fifth story notch.
This edifice, to be erected by +. w.

Metropolitan building by fifty feet, and
over the so.called Singerhorn" by
1873. And in the memory of middle
aged men, offices could not be rented
in our cities above the fifth floor!
The ancients built the tower of
Babel on the plains of Shinar to reach
to heaven, but the modern sky scraper
is built to escape the hell of not get

Against the sky scraper it can be
said that it is vampire sucking light
and air from humber ueighbors, a
concrete expression of the tyranny OF
modern business. In the streets of
lower Manhattan on a hot day the
healthful down beat of vertical sum
mer sun is turned into the sickening
steam OF human laundry.
But on the other hand, what a stun.
ming effect of barbaric power is given
by sight of New York's towering
structures as a whole. What mar,

to enter this city of Dreams and win
for himself his share of the golden
store!
An interesting scene may often be
witnessed on an ocean liner, when a
group of Europeans see for the first
time this manifestation of American
enterprise, these structures built tC
conform to the individual needs OF
American life. 1t is so wholly differ
ent from the more prosaic low level OF
European construction, where bust
ness buildings seldom rise above 10C
feet that the foreigner stands breath
less with wonder.
The skyscraper is better fitted tc
New York than to many cities that
have erected them from imitation

trousers when it is raining on Lon

Boston has from colonial days held

cause the city Of culture has not
thought enough of the minutes that
determine points Of entry and depar-

Boston can now land its passengers In
New York by rail two hours quicker
than they can make the slow and diff.
