While by this solemn act the pontiff
confers the highest honor upon us in our
personal capacity, he also honors the
noble. young and powerful nation which
is proud of its free institutions. He
cOnfers, likewise, a very great honor on

MASSACRE Of ARABS
Eyewitness Tells Story Of
Atrocities in TripoIi.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, November 25.-Another story
by an eyewitness Of the massacre OF
Arabs has reached London. 1t is from
Mr.. Francis McCullagh, the special repre-
sentative of the Westminster Gazette.
who to evade the censor, left Tripoh for
Malta, whence he telegraphed his story.
He relates in the Westminster Gazette:
about 400 women and children have
been shot and 1900 men, whereof not 100
were guilty. Cripples and blind beggars
have been deliberately shot: sick people.
whose houses were burned, were left on
the ground and refused even a drop Of
water. I personally witnessed scenes Of
horror and photographed them. There
has been not the faintest pretense Of
justice. The Arab quarter was overrun
by crazy soldiers, armed with revolvers,
who were shooting every Arab man and
worse than the men, and the army Is
demoralized.
Soldiers Sick Of War.
ST visited the Italian front Of battle
and found the soldiers paralyzed with
fear Very many of the soldiers are
heartily sick of the war. The dreadful
persistency Of the enemy day and night
affects the soldiers imagination power
fully. Up to a few days ago.. when
heavy reinforcements arrived. the italian
line was In great danger Of being rushed
any moment. In which case there would
have been a mad rush for boats and
every European In Tripolt would have
run the danger OF being massacred. So
anxious are the consuls still that they
are desiring the italian government to
provide transports whereon the Euro
peans may take refuge.
IA small brave band of Arabs broke
the Italian line at Bumel.ana, were sur
rounded in a house and fought for twelve
hours till their ammunition became ex-
hausted. They were all butchered. de-
spite the white nag they displayed. A
holy war haA been successfully pro-
claimed.

TT is good to have bush ess
men at the head OF Uncle
Sans institutions. This is es-
pecially SO of the government de-
partments. Our national expenditures
are now about a billion dollars
year, and. according TO Senator Al
dr!ch. whether the money Is properly
handled may mean saving or loss
of more than million dollars a day.
Take, for Instance, the United States
navy. with whose chief L have had
long talk this afternoon. Its expendi-
lures during the past fve years have
been upward OF ten million dollars a
month, or more than one hundred and
twenty million dollars year. 1t Is
building battleshlps which cost eight
or ten million dollars apiece, and its
schemes or potential warfare ahoat
necesstate the employment and hand
ling OF more than nifty thousand men.
Such department needs good
business man at its head and that, 1t
Is believed, we have in Secretary
Meyer: Born of Boston family
which was largely Interested In busi-
ness, he was educated in the Boston
schools and after graduating from
Harvard began business career His
first employment was outside his re-
latives. He wanted to start at the
bottom and and make his own way
without fear or favor; and he did this
so we'll that in the course of two
years ne was able to take a place IN
his fathers business and hold his own.
To show something OF Secretary
Meyers business connections, he is a
trustee Of the Provident Institution
for Savings. a director of the Old Con-
ony Trust Company, and also Of the
United Electric Securities Company.
All these are of Boston. He Is also a
director of the Amoskeag cotton mills
at Manchester. n. H., one OF the larg-
est institutions of the kind in the
world, and he has other business in
terests of many kinds. He has learn
ed by personal experience how great
corporations and factories are man.
aged, and also how to handle men and
money so as to bring forth results.
IT Is this ability which forms the key
not OF his work In the navy. and 1t is
this business sense which will be
found running through the conversa-
ton which follows
Our Navy Is American.
lt was by appointment that I met
the secretary in his home facing SCOTT
Circle and our talk was more I'm the
shape Of chat between business men
than cut-and-dried interview. The
secretary has the navy on the end of
his tongue and he ovcrflows with IDEAS
respecting 1t and how 1t may be i'm

My first question was as to what
Uncle Sans navy Is doing for his

him how to handle himself. how to

learns cleanliness and order. and If he
has a taste for mechanics he gets an
Industrial education. He learns how
to handle machinery and to do electro
cal work. We study him individually
to see what he can be best, Three
months after he enlists we usually put
him on battleship or cruiser and
his time is spent with machinery, cleo
tricity and gun firing. He has to do
with all tho requirements of the great
floating machine which the man-o war
is. This gives him trade. as 1t were,
