Since the Farmer was one of the

pride to the fact that since Nov. g.,

consumers has been MUCH RE-

Also the price of gas has been

Rome. Dec. 2e.-Italy's first serious
realization that she would be able to
hold Tripoli and Cyrenaica only by
their complete subiugation was some
thing of double blow for it led up to
the situation which brought down up
on Italy the hostility and criticism
either justly or unjustly-of the en-
tire foreign press. if not of the for
eign governments themselves. This
situation was that of the alleged
atrocities.
/ AS was stated in the preceding ar
ticle Italy was busily attending to the
''moralsand material" development of
the occupied territory. and repulslng
occasional attack from without, when
suddenly, during one of the fiercest> of
these attacks and evidently at a Civ
Ell signal, all of the natives inside of
Tripoli. who had previously submitted,
rose in revolt, and arming themselves
in some mysterious manner attacked
the Italians from within while the
latter were repulsing the enemy from
without. BY heroic efforts the ItaIi-
ans We're able to repulse the enemy
both in front and behind, but imme-
diately afterwards General Caneva is
sued his orders that every native in
side of the city found with arms in
his possession be shot, that every
house be searched, and that all of the
inmates of every one in which arms
or ammunition were found. be also ex-
ecuted.
1t was the carrying out of this or
der that led to the reports in the en-
tire European and American press of
gross atrocities and massacres of the
native inhabitants of TripoIi AL
though sentiment now seems to be
turning somewhat in favor of Italy,
1T has not been established by any out
side investigation just what measure
of blame. if any, should attach TO the
conduct of the Italian army.
Italy herself issued numerous Off
cial denials of the alleged massacres,
as did also General Caneva himself.
| The latter explained the nature OF nIs
order as we'll as the necessity of it.
and it has generally been conceded
that the action he took is the same ac-
ton that has always been taken in
such situations in the past and which
had to be taken after the natives had
shown their treachery and the bad
