that something in the nature IF panic
has seized the city since it became
known that Mussulman force Of SO,-
600 Turks and Arabs are threatening
Tripoli. They are we'll armed md

But FOR premature attack by a
Farty of Mussulmen on last Monday
the Italians would have been ambush

would have survived, so numerically
superior were the Turks and Arabs.
In the subsequent revolt in the city
the Italians suffered more than $50
casualties before they gained the
ascendancy. From 40 to so Arabs
are shot daily in the town.
The Italians We're taken completely
by surprise, inasmuch as the ring
leaders in the revolt had been among
the first to hail the occupation of
Tripoli by the Italians. Arabs ap-
peared on every balcony, terrace or
vantage point, firing on passersby. 1t
is now stated that no forward move
