AN alien people who have nothing In
common with their new rulers.
The Tripolitans will be hard to sub
due and more lives will be lost, more
millions spent, before these people
will recognize the Italians as their
masters.
And once subdued, of what use will
Tripoli be to Italy? Its lands are poor
and unproductive either Of agricultural
or mineral wealth. Except for q mar
row strip along the coast Of the Med
iterranean, Tripoli Is desert.
The conquered territory will not be
useful as an outlet for Italy's crowd
ed population. Few Italians will care
to live there.
Those who are in position to know
predict that Tripoli will be a losing
proposition to Italy for generations.
1t can never be very useful to her.
In spite Of these facts, Italy agrees

He said the chute to the river con-
tanned manure as we'll as blood and 9TH
er offal.
On the next day, Aug. IA, he again
went out with the party in which was
the Capital News reporter. He said the
slaughter house was in about the same
condition as on the day before and the
butcher was engaged in skinning an
animal The offaI was dropped down
just under the animal being skinned
and was opened up, allowing the stencil
to rise up directly into the freshly
killed beef. Mr.. Wallis protested at
this, and he also protested against the
butcher splitting on the floor just where
the meat was handled.
Wallis told the reporter 1t was
no fit place In which to prepare
food products, calling especial at
tention to the flies. the offal and
some other conditions.
1.-TWO beef animals and three
sheep had been slaughtered on
this day and the newly dressed
meat was covered with flies and
we saw them working into the
folds of the meat and Mr.. Wallis
and both called attention to the
fact that the flies were actually
depositing their larvae in the
meat at that time" he said.
| He said that on the second day he
found that brush or other fuel had
been thrown on the big offal pile and
| an effort was being made to Burn it.

butcher run the meat into what was
| intended to be cooling room but
| which In this case was hot room
The butcher did not clean the oil skin
clothing he wore but hung them UP
Just as they Were and he did not clean
his Strengthening tools. When Wallis
| went to close up the cooling room
| the butcher protested that the meat
would spoil there and when Wallis
proposed to leave the meat out in the
open room of the slaughter house. the
butcher complained that the flies
would spoil it. The pieces of meat
were sealed, the doors of the slaughter
house We're sealed and the lard house
door was sealed.
| He said there were several chickens
ranging about and some of them were
| feeding on the offal pile. Down the
stream as far as they could see from
where the chute entered the water from
the slaughter house. they could see tn,
