AEROpLANES USED
IN WAR AT TRIPOLI
Italians Able to Watch Operations
of Turks.

Rome, Oct. 30.-OfHcial reports
from Tripoli describe the great
value of the aeroplanes in the war.
BY their reconnaissance 1t has been
possible to learn several hours in
advance the movements, the
strength and some times the ef1c-
iency of the enemy. In this way the
Italian commander has been able to
distribute his troops in such a man
ner as to make almost certain the
repulse of an attack from any direc-
tion whatever.
Military critics here are OF the
opinion that when. signalling sys-
tenn from the aerop1ane has been
perfected, the real direction Of en-
gagements will devolye upon ofic-
ers Of these machines.
According to further official re-
ports the Turks have resorted to al,
methods OF opposing invaders, in
Guiding the poisoning Of wells, this
however, has failed Of its object, as
in compliance with the orders of
General Caneva nobody is allowed
to touch water without it first hav-
ing been scientifically examined.
