 Two thousand trained desert war- riors have just arrived from Fezzan. after 40 days march across the Lieban desert, bringing large food supplies.
 ;. It was signal for. rejoicing. The newcomers wear the bushy head dress of the Soudan Dervishes to whom they are related. The men are superbly armed, we'll disciplined and spelling for a fight.
 The sheiks have forbidden the cul- tivation of land during the war, thus cutting off all possible means of sub- sistence whereby the Italian troops might profit.

A. & N. COLLEGE SUSPENDED
Loss Of Mess Hall Kitchen Made the
Step Necessary-WiiI Re-
open January 4.

The news OF the suspension OF the
exercises at A. & M. College created
great surprise when 1t was received
in the city this morning. The suspen-
sion at this time was made necessary
by the serious loss to the college by
the two. fire that occurred within
few weeks of each other. The first was
the burning of the mess hall, and the
second was the burning of the kitchen
of the temporary mess hall. This last
loss made it almost impossible to pre-
pare the food for the student body and
the faculty held several meetings since
the fire to discuss the situation. At a
meeting last night which lasted until
1915 a. N. it was decided to take the
step of suspending until after the holi-
days, and January was fixed as the
time for reopening.
President Miner issued statement
in regard to the matter which will
appear in these columns tomorrow.
