The War Between Italy and Turkey.


If our readers want to get a
fair idea of the war just now be-
ing waged between Italy and
Turkey, told in language that is
easy to understand, and at the
same time acquire general
knowledge of historical events
that every school boy ought to
know, we commend them to the
following serio-comic, but very
accurate account of the situation
as given by the Monroe News
Star of the war" its progress,
and the possible trend of events
before hostilities are ended. The
account is as follows:
just. at the present time the
Turco-Italian war" If the en-
gagements" so far reported can
be so designated-is dividing the
center of the stage with the great
railroad strike now in progress.
Naturally, people are very anx-
ious to know what it's about, "
and the probable duration of the
struggle. 1t seems to be gener-
ally agreed that the fighting, as
far as the present combatants
are concerned, will be limited to
two or three brief, undressing
skirmishes and the bombardment
of Tripoli. Interest is not so
manifested about the ultimate re-
suit, as far as the two principals
involved, as it is regarding what
the other powers of the world
will do. Unmolested, Italy will
undoubtly win because that coun-
try is we'll equipped with a navy.
Turkey, it is true, has splendid
land fighting force, but will be
unable to use it to any great adj
vantage in the present war"
Just about one week ago, with
little or no previous warning, TIA
ly jumped to the conclusion that
war was necessary, while Turkey
was busy writing a note that was
concilitary in its tone, and which
would have paved the way for an
indefinite suspension of hostili-
ties. In order to better under
stand the matter, get down the
map of Europe and also Africa.
L OK acre theMediterfanean sea
southwardly from Italy and you
will see narrow strip of country
stretching along the north Afrit
can coast, bounded on the north
by the sea and south by wild ami
mails and the desert Of Sahara.
One writer, in describing the
country, says that until recent
years Tripoli has been inhabited
by a race of people which we, of
the United States, would call
negroes. In Europe and Africa,
however, they are called Tripoli-
tans and Berbers. Since the day
of the Sacarenic invasion of west
ern Europe, Tripoli has been UNI
der the dominion of the Ottoman
Turks, and their religion has
been cross between fanaticism
and thievery, to say nothing OF
butchery and robbery. They are
persistent lot of individuals and
nothing less than a machine gun

ment IN winch they nave once
become fixed. By trade the Trip
olitans are pirates, if given the
opportunity. 1t is recalled that
our Uncle Samuel was in the
habit of paying a million or so
dollars per year to the black ras-
Gals in order to get them to let
the commerce of the United States
go on unmolested. There is no
telling just how long this prac-
tice would have been kept up had
not Thomas jefferson, good
Democrat that he was, succeeded
to the presidency of this country.
1t is related that one day while
sitting in his Office, one of these
black specimens from Africa
walked in and handed Jefferson
a bill for a million dollars which
the African casually remarked
was several days over due and
that he hoped his folks would not
have to resort to anything dis
courteous in its collection. jeff
erson ran his hand in his pocket
and was in the act of paying this
bill when a man named Stephen
Decatur strolled in.
Decatur, as our historians tell
US, was a man of few words but
plenty of action. Mr.. Jefferson
briefly informed him just how
matters stood, and, we imagine,
remarked that Uncle could i'll af-
ford to dig up a million on such
short notice. Decatur reaching
over, got the bill and placed it in
his vest pocket, telling the ebony.
hued gentleman that he would
see him later, left the capital.
Decatur, taking a few frigates,
such as would be used in this day
and time for a deep water cele-
bration on the Ouachita river,
|set sail. The first thing any,
body knew Decatur turned up in
about eight feet of Tripoli, and
at once turned loose his dogs
of war; on the aggregation of
shanties known as the capital.
He also pursued and sent to the
bottom of the sea a score or so
piratical craft which were going
out to collect the little annual
tribute from Uncle. By the time
he got through with Tripoli there
WASH t enough of the dirty ras-
Gals left to count, and they have
been mighty good to Uncle Sam
uel from that hour.
Now, SO it seems, Italy wants
Turkey to shut up shop and get
out Of Tripoli, abandoning the
place entirely. Italy wants Trip
oil for her own self. This is the
sum and substance, as far as we
have been able to discover, of
the so-called war" just starting
between Turkey and Italy. 1t
is well known that Turkey has
no fleet worth the name, while
Italy has a first class fleet, which
will be able to take all the towns
of the Tripolitan coast, if the al
legged war" is carried beyond
the walls of Tripoli. But Italy

Always Faetsr In the Building Up Of
An athlete Is like an aeronaut-safe
enough while going, but in danger the
moment he stops. especially If he stops
suddenly.
If the first great danger Of athletics
for the professional or business man,
the brain worker and man of sedentary
habits generally is not getting enough
Of them the second is like unto it
stopping them too soon. No little Of
the bad after effects so frequently
ascribed to athletics in college and
school life Is really due to their sud-
den discontinuance after graduation.
The building Of man is never fin
fshed until he is dead. His life is all
In one piece. and what is good for him
at one stage Of his existence is, muta-
tbs mutandis, good for him in all.
While mans mere stature and gross
weight and even horsepower" may
have attained their maximum by
twenty-five or twenty-three, the eff
cheney of both his mind and body for
his particular life work ought to and
under most circumstances does 20 on
steadily increasing until he is fifty.
ifty-fve and even sixty years of age.
And the same health giving agency
exercise in the open air-which has
been. the very life secret of his struc-
tural growth and development is equal
ly indispensable to his further func-
tional development and growth in eff
cheney. We not merely limit our
growth, but actually shorten our lives,
by taking it for granted that we have
reached our limit at certain age or
stage and may therefore drop the
means of further progress s-play in the
open air. When we stop playing we
stop growing.-Dr. Woods Hutchinson
in Outing.
