ITALY AND TURKEY
The war between Italy and Turkey
will probably rank next to the Chi
nese revolution as the great historic
event Of 1911. With the winning of
Tripoli by Italy the Turkish empire Is
driven out Of Africa, France having
taken Algeria, Tunis and Morocco and
England being In practical control of
Egypt. The chief events of the pres
ent war have been the bombardment
and occupation of Tripoli by the Ital-
ians and the fall Of other seacoast cit
les. Because of the strength Of the
Italian navy 1t Is impossible for the
Turkish feet to offer resistance or for
Turkish transports to carry troops
either to Africa or to Italy. For that
reason the war has been confined for
the most part to Tripoli. Turkey has
promised to keep the conflict out Of the
Balkans. and even II she attempts to
break this the powers will not permit
Turkish aggression either in the Bal
kan states or on Greece.
FOLLOWING UNCLE SAM
One Of the most hopeful signs ofythe
times is the international sanitary con-
ference Of American republics which
met In Santiago, Chile. on Nov. I. Evi-'
IDENTIFY the sanitary work of Uncle Sam
on the isthmus is bearing fruit.
THE TOBACCO TRUST
The proposed partitioning of the to-
bacco trust, in accordance with the
decision of the supreme court, has oc-
casioned widespread discussion. which
was heightened by the report of Cor
pOration Commissioner Smith on the
capitalization Of this concern. The
hearing on the new plan of organiza-
tion started on Oct. 30. The senate
committee on interstate commerce be-
hna ~,
the supreme court hearing on inter-
state and intrastate rates, In which |
the committee Of governors is to ap-
pear. is put over to Jan. 8.
SHOWING POLITICAL TREND
American elections this year were
not of great Importance. being gener-
ally confined to minor officers. Mas
sachusetts, Rhode Island and Mary
land selected governors. and state Of
ficers were chosen in some of the 9TH
er states. One Of the hottest contests |
occurred In the city OF Philadelphia. |
New Mexico held her first state elec-
ton. The results are chiefly interest |
ing as pointers for the political trend
next year.
THE NEW DREADNoUoHTs
The growth of the American navy
was indicated by the assembling of
the entire Atlantic feet ut New York
during the last week In October. This |
was the greatest feet ever gathered In
American waters, more than 100 ships
being In line. Uncle Sans largest bat
tleships. the Florida and Utah, are
now practically in lighting trim. These
are among the greatest Dreadnoughts
In the world. On Nov. Is the Pacific !
feet began a cruise to Havana.
EGG LAYING CONTESTS
Two egg laying contests started on
Nov. 1, one under the auspices of the
Connecticut Agricultural college at
Storrs and the other at Mountain
Grove. Mo. The one at Storrs is an
event to last one year.
This hen contest has no connection
with the woman suffrage movement.
which is also going forward. as indi-
,ated by the California election. l
