The Italian government has

Washington that all is going we'll with
its Tripoli undertaking. The dispatch

Washington and was signed by Mar

that Italy is sending over additional
troops and that the intention is to
bring the occupying force up 10 100.-

than was expected. This is generally

The coast line Is over against Malta.
and that no naval point of strength
shall be constructed opposite Malta is
quite as much Of a cardinal policy
with England as it is that nothing
Of this kind shall he set up opposite
Gibraltar. 1t is the same question
with England as 1t was in regard to
Agadir, on the Atlantic coast Of Mo-
rocco. where a German gunboat sud-
denly appeared last July. German oc-
cupation there threatened the Eng.
lish liners going to South Africa, and
SO a strong naval port on the coast
Of Tripoli in foreign hands would
threaten the English liners going
through the Mediterranean sea and
the Suez canal to India and China.
Unfortunately for the concord OF riv-
al nations. nature has made no al.
lowance for this supposed English
need. The port OF Tobruk on the
coast Of Tripcli is naturally we'll fit
ted for naval uscs. The depth Of wa
ter varies from thirty-five to fifty-hve
feet, so that the first condition Of deep
water is assured. The English papers
quote from a report about Tripoli
made before the war by a Senator de
MARITIME, presumably an Italian. He
said:
A few defensive works would
make Tobruk a naval harbor
equal to those Of Bizerta and
Malta. while its geographical po-
sition-173 miles from Crete. c76
from Greece. 312 from Alexan-
dria and Rhodes, $40 from Malta,
Syracuse, and Salonika, and 6cS
from Brindisi and the Bophorus
makes it a strategical point Of
the first order. THE nation oc-
cupyinE Tobruk," he wrote, will
not only dominate the Cyrenaica,
but the most important sea
routes Of the Mediterranean"
There were reports at first that
Germany had her eye on Tobruk. and
this possibility gave England a great
shock. The London Telegraph. for
example. said:
The harhor Of Tobruk. where
Nelson once landed. strategically
valuable. and only a little over
300 miles from Alexandria, has
shared the fate Of Tripoli. and it
is for our WI naval experts to
SAY how far this fact endanxers
England's lines of communication
across a sea the absolute and
certain freedom of which in
peace and war is essential to the
maintenance of the empire. Only
two months ago England declar-
ed in unmistakable and effective
language that whatever tn fate
Of Morocco itself might be. she
would not allow a naval strong
hold on its and under a
first-class European power to
threaten her great Atlantis high
ways. A like contingency may
arise before long on the no less
important route over which her
immense commerce with the cas-
goes and comes. and it will be
necessary to weigh its possibili-
ties with a close eye to u ma
tional interests.

Great was the curiosity of newspa-

to know how the editor from the wild

Failure was predicted on every hand.
1t vas not thought that the western
idea would be more popular in New

the first the methods Of Pulitzer APP

appealed to and revolutionized jour-
nalism in some of the most conserva-
tive cities of the old world. Within a
few years Pulitzer mad made millions
from the profits of the World and had
erected what Was hen the most re-
