TRUTH ABOUT War
Letters Written by italian Sol
diers in Tripoli
Tell a Story Different From the
Official Dispatches.

Rome, Jan. 1S=Letters from
Italian officers and men serving with
the invading army in TripoH and Cy-
renaica. received by their friends in
Italy, describe in detail the extremely
unpleasant position of the Italian
troops at the front.
Fights which have been claimed as
Italian victories in official dispatches
from the commander in chief of the
Italian expedition are said by these
correspondents to have been reverses.
The Italians appear to be suffering
more severely in the vicinity of
Derna than at other points. The
troops who are engaged in protecting
the engineers employed on the con-
struction of aqueducts to bring water
into town have frequent furious en-
gagements with the Turks and their
Arab allies.
Detachments of the latter make
harassing attacks on the italian out
posts day after day.
One Italian officer writing to his
father says that the italian army has
lost a large number Of men in these
engagements.
Another letter from private says
that in one battle regiments of gren-
adiers and Bersarglieri were nearly
wiped out of existence. Still another
letter says that Italians on one occa-
sion ran out of ammunition, while the
Turks and Arabs well supplied, sue
ceeded in killing and Wounding 100 of
the Italian soldiers, many of whom
were mere boys who in their panic
cried for their mothers.

OWNS THE TELEPHONES
British Government Takes Over All
the Exchanges.

London, Jan. 19.-With the taking
over of the National Telephone COM
pany on January 1, the government be-
came the owner of practically all of the
telephone facilities of the British Isles.
The property of the company be
comes the possession of the state and
the $1,000 employees join the ranks of
the civil servants of the kingdom.
Generally speaking. the officials and
employees of the company are not
pleased with the change, as they feel
that it will initiate against their
chances of advancement
Now that the government is in SUI
preme control of the telephone faci1i-
ties of the country. it is expected that
efforts will be made to extend it greatly
especially in the rural districts, where
the telephone is almost unknown. Even
in London the telephone directory is no
larger than those of several cities of
the United States with populations of
less than SOC. 600

FIVE AUTOISTS DOWN
The Machine Runs on the Ice and
Breaks Through.

Trenton, Jan. 13.-Two men and
three women We're drowned early to-
day when the automobile in which
they were riding ran on the ice cover
ing an artificial stream of water used
by a power plant outside this city.
The men were Donald Reed, son
former supreme court Justice Alfred
Reed, and Chester A Vancleef, an

NJ. Foster, a third man in the
party who was running the autom O.
bile escaped drowning, but is suffer-
ing from exposure. Foster managed
to escape from the machine after it
had broken through the ice and ran
nearly mile to get help
Two of the girls bodies were soon
gotten out and brought to the morgue
here. One was Margaret Lindall, the
other. Helen Mulvey, said to be from
New Haven. The third is believed to
have been Anna Hazel.
Foster refused to give the names of
the women. 1t is believed they had
been invited to take q ride as far as
washington crossinfi n. J., a distance
of six or seven miles.
When Foster reached the road
house he was coated with ice and is
now in a critical condition
The accident happened at a point
where there is a sharp bend in the
road and it is believed Foster had be-
come numb from the cold and that he
was unable to control the steering
wheel Foster was in another serious
accident at New Brunswick some
months ago.

HAS EASY MONEY
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Man Lives Like
Millionaire for a Day.
Hires Special Train to Take Him
to New York.

Wilkesbarre, January 13.-Throwing
twenty-five dollars in coin to the news
boys as he left, John J. McDevitt, a
local politician and son of a day Ia
borer, has left here in his own spe-
cfal train over the Lehigh Valley rail-
road for New York to enjoy the ex-
perience of being a millionaire for one
day"
The train consisted of a baggage car,
parlor car and several day coaches. He
paid 1922 for the special train and $24
extra for a parlor car of 30 seats.
A large crowd was at the station.
Prior to his departure he held recep-
ton at a hotel.
McDevitt got his spending money by
Withdrawing as a candidate for county
treasurer. He put himself UP as a candi-
date in the primaries and so many per-
sons voted for him just as Joke" that
he was nominated. The county commit
tee became alarmed and tried to get him
to withdraw The negotiations for with
drawaI We're conducted through the pub
lie press, McDevitt naming a higher price
each day. At last the committee paid
him something like $500 to get off the

Control Is Impossible
One of the ablest of American hnan-
cters, man of international reputation,
recently said to the writer that on ac-
count of the great area of the United
States, the vast diversity of its indus
tries, the fact that it has a commerce
both upon the Pacific and the Atlantic.
and the very geographical characters
tics of the nation will always serve to
prevent any improper combination of
money capital This financier is of the
opinion that at this time it is practi-
cally impossible for any combination of
money and banking capital to be made
which would seriously affect the money
markets more than a day or two. It
was the opinion of the late E. H. Har-
riman that it was impracticable
to bring under one great capitalistic
control the money or the credit of the
United States as it had been found i'm
practicable to control the harvests of
wheat or the cotton harvest, nature it
self and the extent of the country rails
ing prOhibitive barriers against such
complete control 1t was this view
that led Mr.. Hartman to abandon as
impracticable the idea of com bining all
the railroads Of the United States into
one system.

BIG SOCIALIST GAIN
An Increase of "a Members in the
German Reichstag.

Berlin, Jan. 13.-With returns from
yesterdays elections practically com
plete, it is apparent that the reballots
must be awaited before the character
of the new reichstag can be definitely
known.
The results, with only At districts
missing, are as follows: Socialists,
seats won 60, a net gain Of "a; rebal-
lots 113. Conservatives, seats won 80,
a net loss of IS; reballots 65. Cen
trists, seats won 50, net loss of 6;
reballots 50. National Liberals, seats
won 4, q net loss of 10; reballots So.
Radicals, seats won nothing, a net loss
of 12; reballots 81.
The Socialist gains, 1t appears. are
mainly at the expense of the Radicals,
who are greatly disappointed at their
showing. They will return to the
reichstag with hardly more than three
fifths of their former strength.

CURTIS HAS A BILL
Kansas Senator VIII Offer Substitute
for sherwood Measure.

Washington, Jan. 13.-When the
senate committee on pensions meets
Monday to consider the Sherwood gen
eral doIIar-a-day service pension bill,
Chairman McCumber will ask the
committee to substitute a bill which he
has prepared and introduced, which
undertakes to grant increased pensions
by amending the present law, so as to
make additions both on advanced age
and service.
Estimates place the increased cost
under the McCumber bill at $22,000,-
900 annually, or an average Of $50
per man.
Senator Curtis of Kansas, q m EN- Der
of the committee, will also offer a
substitute to the Sherwood bill, ma
teriaIly reducing its figures.

BOATS IN DISTRESS
Lake Steamers Indiana and Kansas
Caught in Ice F7oes.

Chicago, Jan. 13.-Efforts are be-
ing made today by tugs to rescue the
passenger steamers Indiana and Kan
sas, which were caught in ice floes five
miles out of Chicago harbor yester-
day. The boats, which belong to the
Goodrich transportation company and
Michigan transportation company, re-
spectively left Milwaukee at daylight.
Only a few passengers are on board.
Boat line officials said today that each
steamer had provisions enough to last
a month and as the lake is smooth,
there is comparatively little danger.
It is possible the boats will not be re-
leased for several days. Attempts to
pass tow lines to them last night were
unsucc essful.
