Washington, Dec. 1-Stories Of al
most incredible barbarities practiced
by Arabs and Turks are contained in
dispatches received at the Italian EN-.
bassy here.
In q dispatch received today from
Rome. the Italian minister Of foreign
anatrs describes alleged atrocities
which include crucifxion and burial

the preparation Of these cruelties.

"In the Arab cemetery, near the
place whore the fourth company OF
Bersaglteri was located. seven bodies
Of Bersaglieri were discovered. They
had been inferred alive with the heads
out of the earth. The body of one OF
these shows that he had been terribly
tortured. 1T showed many shots and
dagger wounds; the eyes had been
pulled out and threaded and the eye
lids sewn to the brows. This body
shows terribly spasmodic contractions
Another one had one arm out of the
earth from which the hand had been
cut off. The body Of Bersaglieri had
been torn to pieces.
