WILL END MOSLEM RULE.
Italians Plan TO Drive Turks Entirely
Out of Africa.

Rome.-The full scope of ItaIys
campaign against Turkey became
known for the first time Saturday.
1t is not the occupation of Tripolr
alone, but by a series OF smashing
blows along the whole thousand miles
OF Tripolitan and Cyrenician coast,
Italy's purpose is the utter destruc-
ton of the Turkish rule in Africa.
With utter humiliation staring Tur-
key in the face, Italy will deal as con-
queror with the late owner of the
evicted territory.
The end of the Moslem rule in
Africa is practically realized. The

Tirza, Benghazi, Derna and Tombruk

~ F course you know that almost everybody has some favorte word or
expression which he works overtime with no respect for union

Very well. Now did you ever try the interesting experiment in char
acter study Of getting" people by that favorite expression?
Do you see what I mean?
No? Then perhaps an example will explain better than any further
explanation.
/ know a man who constantly uses te expression, Ito a certain K

ask him. yes to a certain extent" he answers. Has he found his Ter

Now IT seem to me that the constant use of that expression Is a
index to the mans habit Of careful thought his practice of weighing and
balancing considerations, Of looking thoroughly a all sides Of any ques-

result OF his marvellous optimism. They are al unconscious expression of
the attitude which I happen to know he has towards the world, as a kind
rightly, are all astonishIngly kind and good, even those who temporarily
seem to have lost sight of that fact themselves
Everyone knows the girl who continually uses the word "inartfsdc"
and everyone ought to be able to know hr a once as the young person of
exdusiveness who is extremely proud of her aesthetic sensblfhes, and
who is constantly shuddertng at the surprising exhibitions If lack o. taste
on the part of the rest of the world.
Then there is the girl to whom everything is SO interesting" for
whom the final criterion of desirabilty is "he is so interesting" and the
final word of condemnation, "but can't see anything interesting about
him"
She, of COURSE afflicted with congestion of the intellect She thinks
that character and physical outfit are mere appendages to brains. She
may get over It in time, and then again she may not Listen for the cessa-

And there is-but why multiply examples?

And II you are not, why you are doubtless more than ready to have
