URGES AMERICA TO ACT.
Minister Strauss Thinks the situa-
ton Very Grave.

Declaring that "the approaching
clash of arms between Italy and Tur-
key far transcends the interests of
the two powers involved" Oscar S.
Strauss, former ambassador to Tur-
key, Friday wired from New York,
P. C. Knox, secretary of state, urg-
ing that the United States should ex-
ercise it's right under the convention
for the pacific settlement of interna-
tional disputes to prevent possible
state of war between Muhammadan
and Christian nations of the world.
Mr.. Strauss declars Italy's precipi-
tate action can not but have the
rost serious results as a precedent
for similar aggression by other pow
ers Mt. Strauss in his telegram
continues:
THE United States took the lead
in freeing the Mediterranean from
pirates and likewise has contributed
foremost among the nations in the
conclusion of the convention. for the.
pacific settlement of international
disputes. Our country is not only
justified, but it is its duty to exercise
its right under that convention to
preserve the precedents for peace and
prevent a possible state of war be-
tween the Muhammadan and Chris
tian nations of the world.
eve are fortunately free from al
liances such as apparently tie the
hands of European powers, who
should and probably will welcome
our exercising the right of medita-
ton. I am sure am voicing the
,eace-loving sentiments, not only of
Americans but Of all nations in call
ing upon our government to prompt
ly offer its Offices of meditation
whatever rights politically or
otherwise Italy may justly lay claim
to in Tripoli, certainly can be secur-
ed without bloodshed and with JUS
ice by submitting them to The Hague
tribunal.

BRYAN ANSWERS TAFT
SAYS WHEN A TRUST MiGNATE
IS PUT IN JAIL.
He Will Give Weight to the Presi-
dents Defence of the Decision Of
the Supreme Court.

W. J. Bryan answering the chal-
lenge of President Taft made at Cher
rydale, Kan, that ne produce an ex-
ample of restraint of trade, which
would not come within the purvieW
of the Supreme Court. Bryan said
on Monday night before leaving for
Knoxville, Tenn, for Cincinnati:
eff President Taft would take time
to read the dissenting opinion OF JUS
tice Harlan in tie case and report
of the judiciary committee of the
Senate, filed by Senator Nelson when
the committee refused to recommend
the amendment, which the Supreme
Court injected into the law, he will
understand my view of the subject.
81 believe with Justice Harlan and
the Nelson report that the Suprme
Court has practically nulified the
criminal clause of the antitrust law
and will wait until the President sue
ceeds in putting a trust magnate IN
the penitentiary before 1 give any
weight to the Presidents defense OF
the desession Of the Supreme Court.
"It took four years and a half to
get a decision in the Standard Oil
case. If it takes that long to ind
out whether a trust magnate can be
sent to the penientiary under the
law as emasculated by the Supreme
Court, President Taft nay be able to
bluff his way through another cam
paign on the trust question as he
did through the law, but the bluff
ought to deceive anybody who is real
ly opposed to the trusts.
This was Bryan Day at the Ap-
palachian Exposition. The Nebrask-
an arrived recently and vent to the
exposition grounds early in the day,
where ne made tour Of the various
exhibit buildings and participated in
pleasures of the exposition. This
afternoon at 4 o'clock he delivered
an address at the exposition grounds

The Boy and His Opinions.

In the Woman's Home Companion
for September writer on 'The Boy
and His Opinions" reports a
case that contains valuable lessons
for both boys and mothers. My
son. a mother said, with, perhaps a
note of amused irritation in her voice,
to the spruce college-boy, who had
questioned the wisdom of one of her
actions, you must understand once
for all that do not wish to have you
criticise me on any subject whatso-
ever
The lad opened wide his eyes, and
asked, do you mean I am never to
tell YOU when you do a thing I think
isn't right" Il mean just that"
replied the mother. For number
OF years have conducted my affairs
with tolerable success without the
benefit of your criticism, and I have
faith to believe can keep en- doing
it. Of course, you will criticise me
in your own mind; that is quite nat
ural and take it for granted; but
don't wish to hear your criticism
unless I ask for it,
Of course the boy did not like it.,
but he respected his mother too much
70 show any evidence of that fact.
The writer in the Womans Home
Companion says he admired the
mother for having given the boy the
advice she did, and goes on to say
that no essential part Of teaching a
boy to think for himself is served by
permitting him to find fault with his
parents. AS the mother said he is
likely to criticise mentally the con-
duct and demeanor of his parents, to
look down upon their beliefs and
theories and Aatter himself he could
manage most of their affairs far bet
ter than they themselves do.
All this IS in way part of the
boys training in learning to think
and act for himself, and the fact that
he will probably discard most of his
experimental theories, which his par
ents had tested and thrown aside in
their younger days, and come around
eventually to the codes of his father
and mother, does not make the edu-
cational value of the earlier process
any less. But there is no gain for
him in the public expression of his
adverse opinions, and the self-con-
troll involved in their repression is
good for his soul.
IN all other lines, however, en-
courage your children to air their
views. Perhaps this might not be
so desirable if they were likely not
to be your views as we'll as his. But
the wandering seeds of opinion to
which I have already referred will
grow in the soil you have cultivated
and you will be able to advise him
which are weeds to be rooted out, and
which are useful growths to be tend
ed and fostered. Remember that
some day your boys and girls Will
have to do all their own thinking.

HELD Up A NEGRO.
A White Man and Negro Attempt
to Commit Robbery.

Near Allendale two men one white
and the other a negro, made bold
attempt at robbery about three
O'Clock Wednesday morning, when
they drew revolvers on Richard Bry-
ant, a negro, who lives on W. F..
Googe's plantation, near the ceme-
terry, as he was going to town to mar
ket bale Of cotton. Just as Bryant
was passing a thicket the two high
waymen stepped out in front of him
with revolvers and demanded that he
halt. They then proceeded to search
him, but found nothing, and ordered
the negro to move on. The robbers
are still at large and there seems to
be no clue as to who they are.

Italy Begins Heailities Against Turkey
Over rripoli Affair.
TURKEY WANTS PEACE
She Seeks to Have Other Powers In
terfere in Her Behalf and Prevent
Italy From Taking and Stripping
Her Provinces and Seems Dispos-
ed to Non Restrictant Policy.

A dispatch from London says af-
fairs developed Friday with extra
ordinary rapidity. A state of war
exists between Italy and Turkey, and
hostilities have begun.
No sooner had the time limit fxed
in the ultimatum expired than, ig-
noring Turkeys contradictory re-
quest for a period Of delay, Italy
declared war. The Turkish repre-
sentatives in Italy were handed their
passports. The Turkish commander
at Tripoi was asked to surrender
the town but declined, and the ltal-
ian forces Immediately occupied Trip
oil and Benghazo:
Turkey continues her efforts to Sc
cure Intervention by the powers. In
the meantime Italy is actively pur-
suing hostilities. Italian battleships
are reported to have appeared oc
Smyrna and Saloniki
An Italian cruiser landed troops at
Prevesa after destroying Turkish
torpedo boat destroyer, and the Ital-
ian fleet has blockaded the whole
Tripolitan coast.
There are unconfrmed reports
that Turkey intends to send an ulti-
matum to Greece to abandon her
claim on Crete and is massing troops
on the Thessalian frontier
The greatest activity ensued in all
the European chancelleries on the an
nouncement that war had been de-
clared and notification Of a blockade.
It is expected that the various gov
ernments will issue the customary
neutrality diplomatic as far as pos
sible to localizing, hostilities to the
combatant powers and especially to
avoid complications in the Balkans.

HAzINC AT CMEMS0N
CADETS HAVE BEEN DISMISSED
FOR THE OFFENCE.
The Board of Trustees Have Deter
mined to Break Up the Foolish
Custom Among the Boys.

The Anderson Mail says seven
cadets have yeen dismissed from
Clemson college for hazing. None OF
these are from Anderson county. but
from counties in the lower section
OF the state. Their names could not
be divulged at the college, following
a rule along this line adopted some
tine ago The Mail says:
A rumor was aAoat in Anderson
that nine cadets had been dismissed
and that ninety others were Yet to be
tried on the charge Of hazing. Dr.
Riggs, president OF the college, was
reached over the telephone, and he
stated that only eight had been
brought up for hazing. and that sev'
en- of these had been dismissed. This
occurred two or three days aen-
Heretofore it has been custo4 .4y
az Clemson for the president or some
other official to state orally to the
student body when it assemblies fol
the opening of the season th&Shazine
will not be tolerated, the penalty fol
such offense being expulsion. This
year the custom was changed: each
of the boys anticipating admittance
receiving letters several days before
the college opened stating that al
cadets guilty of hazing would be ex
PEELED.
1t is said that the hazing in thi:
incident was only that of the recruit:
being required to sing Casey Jones
and few other songs for the merri
ment of the other cadets, and tha
maybe a paddle had been called light
ly into use. At any rate the recrui
was not injured in the slightest, ant
had it not been for the fact that h

DR.. Riggs said that there is les
hazing at the college than ever be
fore; that the cadets are required Il
sign an agreement that they will no
participate IN haz!ng, and that tn
cadets are observing the agreement
There has been a good deal of com
plant about hazing at Clemson Col
lege. and the trustees are TO be con
graduated on the steps they hav
taken to stop it.

ITALY AND TURKEY
THE RELATIVE FIGHTING CoNDI.
ton OF THE TWO.
Trouble Began Thirty Years Ago as
Result Of the Italians Longing for

Tr1poH.
Trouble between Italy and Turkey,
which eliminated Friday afternoon
in a. declaration Of war at Rome,
dates back to 1878, when, with the
making Of the treaty concluding the
Russo-Turkish war, the powers are
understood to have agreed to per
nit Italy pacific penetration Of
Tripoli.'' -
Italy has colonized Tripoli until her
interests in that African province
are very great. She has asserted,
however, that her subjects have been
mistreated by the Ottoman authori-
ties and constantly Disseminated
against. At the same time Turkey
was warned not to send soldiers or
munitions of war to Tripoi. A Tur-
kish transport bearing few men
and arms and ammunition arriving at
Tripoli from Constantinople was not
molested on the ground that she
sailed before the Italian warning had
been received.
Italy, in the meantime, brought
soldiers to the Italian coast, where
they were placed on board ships, rea-
dy to proceed to Tripoli and other
points. A second squadron is design
ed for Salonika.
Italy's declaration of war on Tur-
key grew out of unsatisfed demands
that the Ottoman government, domi.
nant in Tripoli for 800 years, shall
surrender all economic and politica,
rights to Italy.
Tripoli is capable Of tremendous
| development. The soil along the
coast is fertile. Not so much car
be said of the interior.
| The land fighting forces Of Italy
and Turkey compare favorably, al
though Italy appears to have the ad
vantage for war on foreign soil, be
cause the Italian government ha:
plenty of transport ships and com
petent navy to guard them en- voy
age, while Turkey has no transport:
and the fighting strength Of her
navy is nil.
Italy's standing arm in 1911 mum
bered approximately 225,0oo ane
$4,000 officers, but far create
number could be put in the field il
case of necessity. The Italian nav.
consists in vessels commissioned
built or building, Is warships mir
armored cruisers, II unarmoret
cruisers and gun vessels, SO destroy
ers, an equal number Of hrst-clas
torpedo boats and 20 submarines. Il
the naval force there approximatel,
are 81, 900 men. AS whole the Ital
ian navy is generally ranked fft]
among nations.
The Italians are skilled seanen
They have constructed some remark
able war vessels. The naval list
, show that Turkey has a fghtini
strength of nine coast defense iron
ciads, FIVE protected cruisers, six tor
pedo vessels, one gunboat, 81 torpeu
boat destroyers, 81 torpedo boats an
two submarines.
The nominal strength of the Turk
ish navy is 929 officers, 5000 sailors
besides about 5000 martens. TIL
J empire is divided into seven arm
corps districts and there are two in
dependent divisions at Medina an
J Tripoli, respectively. The total fight
ing strength is close to 100000
men and by the existing recruitin
laws all Mussulmen are liable to mill
; ltary service.
