LONDON. Oct. A dispatch from
Milan states that the Italian fleet
commenced the bombardment or
Preveza shortly after midnight. This
news Is regarded here as greatly In
creasing the gravity OF the situation,
as, II confirmed, 1t means that Italy
has deliberately disregarded the warn
ing of Austria and other European
powers that the war must be confined

The dispatch says that the Turkish
authorities ignored the ultimatum u
the Italian admiral for the surrender
Of the three Turkish warships which
had taken refuge in the harbor, This
ultimatum expired at midnight and
Immediately afterwards the lombard
ment commenced.
l. Everything toay points to a determ-
ination nItalys part to force the
Porte to an. unconditional surrender.
In q semi Loficial note she justifies her
operations in the Adriatic on the
ground that they are necessary to Sc
cure safe passage for an expedition
to Tripoli. This note Is taken as an
answer to Austria's declaration that

Hair ornaments are the rage this
winter. and 1t is a far cry from the
piece of bonny blue ribbon that tied
up the hair of the maiden of We olden
times to the elaborate coiffure orna-
ments of the season.
Any girl with the least skill can
make herself the most becoming hair
decorations with gold or silver metal
lie braids. They are far more effective
hair ornaments than the silken rib
bons, which are only suitable above
very youthful faces.
The upper ornament seen in the H.
lustration is more adapted to the
matron and is made of bead embroid-
cred gauze banding. two strips being
wired and crossed under loop at the
center front and Joined again over the
ears, where fall of beads finishes the
ornament.
For the debutante Is the wreath Of
little blush roses which are sew
ed to invisible wire, the dainty wreath
going all round the head and the
cluster of roses coming back of one ear
and the bow of pink velvet back Of the
other close to the neck.

In wonderful way did the doctor
bring out the relation OF the body to
the mind and spirit side OF mans ma
ture, urging that they are not three
but one. He pointed out how It is
impossible for man under the
strain Of present life to live Christ
ian life to the fullest extent, without
caring properly for the body. In con-
clusion the SPEAKER referred to the
extension worx that the association is
and should be doing for not only the
membership but for the men and boys
of the entire country and community.
Following this meeting there will
be greater interest taken In the ply

BELL Church
In Morgan Township RGdedi-
Gated On Sunday
Extensive Improvements
Made To The EdifiCe

On last Sunday the Bell Disciple
church in Morgan township, Knox
county, was rededicated after the ed
ifice had undergone extensive inn
provements and repairs during the
lall and winter months. The Rev. A.
B. Williams of Mt. Vernon was the
moving spirit in advocating the re-
modelling of the church and 1t was
through his untiring efforts that the
money was raised and the improve
ments made.
Work of remodeling was commenc-
ed last summer and extended through
the fall months. The old style of the
frame structure was maintained. A
new slate roof was placed on the
church, new vestibule built, new
circular seats installed and 10 mem
orial windows placed in the edifice.
An addition, 12x2S feet, was con-
structed on the rear of the church,
thus affording two fine class rooms
partitioned off. A new platform was
built in the interior and the church
repainted and repapered. In all the
improvements cost $4,000.
Last Sunday the dedicatory sermon
was preached by the Rev. s. H. Bart
lett Of Hiram. The Rev. A. B. Will
liams Of this city presided over the
services. At the two services, morn
ing and evening, the sum Of s7Oo was
raised.
The ediflce is now considered one of
the finest country churches in this
section Of the country.

An Excellent Address Is
Given By DR.. Fisher
And Brief Talks Made By
Mt. Vernon Men
A Very Profitable Evening
Is Spent By All

The banquet held under the auspic-
es Of the Physical committee of the
Y. M. G. A. Wednesday evening was
success in every particular, with the
possible exception of attendance.
There were rs present, but for the
most exceptional address of DR.. Fish
er that should have been five times
the number of men present. Invoca-
ton was offered by the Rev. Mr.. Hull
and during the dinner splendid music
was furnished by the Association or
chestra.
Mr.. Clyde Conley acted as toast
master, and announced the purpose of
the gathering as being to discuss the
physical work of the Association and
to listen to an address by DR.. Fish
er of the International committee Of
the Y. M. G. A. Mr.. William M. Coup
and Mr.. Cr7L. Johnson opened the ev-
enings discussion with interesting re-
marks as to the benefits of the local
gymnasium work. After this DR.. Fish
er gave masterful address relative
to the physical conditions Of Ameri-
cans and the remedies for the mac
tive life that most men are obliged to
live. He reviewed the rapid develop
ment Of our cities and the change
from country to city life. That the
men of today are obliged to a work,
that i:om the training of their fore
fathers, they are not prepared to
stand up under without great deal Of
care and physical activity. In strik-
ing and very forceful manner the doc
tor reviewed the wonderful construc-
tion OF the human system, pointing
out that all along the line Of circula-
tory and neural system sthere are feed.
ers for the various organs of the body
food for just the demands that are be-
ing made upon the system. If man
would but give nature an opportunity
there would be supplied energy and
strength and endurance and his capac-
ity. He stated that with proper at
tention being paid to rest, recreation
and food 1t would be comparatively
easy matter for the human race to
lengthen their lives Is years. One of
the most interesting parts of the doc
tors address was that in reference to
the reduction of germ diseases by the
application of sanitary and hygienic
rules.
He urged that 1t would not be many
years before all of the dread diseases
will be thing of the past, but that
there must be an earnest and continu-
Gus application on the part of good
citizens to this social welfare prob
lem AS against this, however, 1t was
stated that in the place of these di-
seases there is coming far great
er and more difficult problem in the
chronic troubles that follow the mac
tive life of the men of the cities.
These are conditions that health
boards cannot get at, because they
are personal and 1t is only as we are
able to get 1t upon the hearts of the
manhood of the country to care for
themselves, to exercise and to get
plenty OF rest that we can hope to
offset these undesirable and unhealth-

Surging Seas
Damage Wharf

That McGregor's landing may be
washed away altogether if something
is not done to fix it up is the news
brought back from Maui by Otto
Berndt of the internal revenue de-
partment. He returned this morn
ing from his monthly visit of inspec-
ton to the winery on that island.
On the trip down he did not land
at McGregor's, owing to the heavy
sea that was running, but coming
back he boarded the steamer there.
The sea was perfectly calm then,
however, and it was impossible to
find out how much damage had
been done to the wharf beyond
where the planks were loosened.
When the heavy seas of last week
surged in on the wharf, the rollers
The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1911-10-14

got underneath and lifted the
planks clean up, tearing out all the
fastenings. The wharf was also
very rocky, and it was thought by
the folks living around there that it
would not last much longer. The
sea calmed down at the latter end of
the week, and this saved the situa-
ton. At the same time, it is
thought that if there is much more
weather like that which has just
passed there will be very little of the
wharf left. .-Buiietin.
This is the kind of stuff that scares
tourists from coming to Maui. The
sea was as smooth as a mill pond at
McGregor's the day Mr.. Berndt
landed at Lahaina, and there is alb
solutely no danger of the wharf at
McGregor's being carried away. The
fact of few planks been loosened
does not signify that the entire
structure is in danger.

Conditions
At Tripoli
On the Eve Of Its Occupation By
Italian Soldiers.

a long special dispatch from Tri-
poll describes picturesquely the ap-
pearance of the city ION the eve of
Italian occupation. The native
population, 1t appears, is taking the
course of events with stolid indiffer-
ence, although the foreign popula-
tion has largely fled and most of the
business section of the city is closed
up in view of the danger of serious
damage from bombardment. The
dispatch says:
The landscape is serene. One
sees a party of big Turks lolling on
the ramparts half hidden by the
shade of thick palms. They have
hoisted a red flag, which haunts
with a half-hearted air of defiance
over the red Notifications. Close
by the flag is a guardian sentinel,
while behind the parapets one sees
a group of soldiers watching from
the summit of the castle. They are
not worried or nervous. Their air
is one of the profound indifference.
Gendarmes idle in the doorways,
observing with characteristic orient
el carelessness the passing of little
groups of frightened foreign traders,
their arms filled with parcels,
Women with infants in their. arms
are at the heels of the men.
Patrols of soldiers pass gravely
along the nearly deserted streets.
The shops are closed and the win
dows barred. Hundreds of houses
have been vacated. Terror has
seized the inhabitants. All the ter
races are empty except that at the
Italian consulate, which is occupied
by correspondents. Above the hos
pital conducted by Italian nuns
waves a red cross flag. A bold
monk, distinguished by his long,
flowing beard, has climbed to the
top of the bell tower on the Italian
monastery and hoisted the German
flag.
THE few remaining Italians
await impatiently the first firing.
The local batteries are deserted. At
sea a flock of frightened sailing
boats is scurrying out of the harbor.
This evening the coffee houses
in the Arab quarter are opening,
and the priests appearing on the
small balconies of the minarets, in
vited the people to prayer. Crowds
of Arabs gathered at different points
and read the posted notices in Turk
ish, which says:
The Italian government made
an unjust demand on Turkey, ask
ing her to give up Tripoli. The
Turkish Cabinet, together with the
parliament, is preparing a definite
answer to give to Italy. Meanwhile,
adjure the population to remain
quiet and respect the Italians"
