ton, Nov. 11.-Through the ragged

President Taft tonight climbed toward
Washington and home after 81 days
of travel from Boston to San Fran

the seat Of the government has been

In that time the travelling white

done at least thousand miles more
by auto. A straightaway stretch OF
about 45o miles to travel and moth
ing to do till tomorrow confronted
the president tonight when he pulled

form speech. 1t was the last of about
$50 speeches of assorted size and

ITALY's POSITION
NOT IMPROVED
Probably just About Holding its Own
and This Is Not Very
Satisfactory.

[Gate City Leased Wire service.l
NICE, Nov. 11.-Italy's position in
Africa is not believed here tonight to
have improved in the past week. That
there has been intermittent fighting
about Tripoli during the entire week
is known positively and the fact that
no favorable developments have been
announced from Rome is regarded as
dubious
The best information is that the 1tal-
ian army in Tripoli is just about hold
ing its own. From the Italian stand
point this is unsatisfactory as cholera
is raging in the town, the garrison Is
harrassed by tireless enemy and the
landing of further reinforcements and
supplies will soon become difhcult,
and at times impossible, from the win
ter storms, which will soon be sweep
