IS HARD TO DIGEST
Sterilized Milk Bad For Babies, Ac.
cording to Harvard Doctor


Boston, JAM 15.-During the
course of his lecture at the Harvard
medical school yesterday afternoon
upon THE Feeding of Infants" DR..
John L. Morse, assistant professor
of pediatrics at the medical school,
exploded the popular confidence in
scientifically purified milk when he
said:
Il fully expect to see a considerable
increase of ricketts,, scurvy and
anemia among the babies because OF
the increased use Of sterilized and
pasteurized milk. Digestive trouble
always frequent in the case of in
fants, is increasing to an alarming
extent and the trouble is directly

CuNBOATS AT

v|c1oRs SUFFER NO LOSS
Armed Yacht Taken and Sent to Italy
Under Convoy-HaiI of Shells From
Broadsides of Italian Ships Meet
With but Feeble Response From
Turkish Gunners-Large Number of
Turks Drowned In Red Sea

uFkS 'DFOWncQ IN RcO sea
Rome, Jan. IA severe naval
action occurred in the Red sea when
seven Turkish warships were de-
stroyed and an armed yacht was cap
tured by Italian warships.
The division OF Italian cruisers
which has been securing the coasts
of the Red sea in search of Turkish
war vessels and ships conveying con-
traband destined for the Turkish gar
risons in the Yemen province in
Arabia encountered the f1otilla of
Turkish gunboats and at once opened
fire.
The Turks replied, but their feeble
armament succumbed to the superior
weapons OF the Italian war vessels.
The fight was stiff but soon ended in
the victory Of the Italians, who sus-
tanned no loss.
The action occurred outside the Bay
of Kuntida, small walled town with
a garrison and two forts about 500
miles north OF Alden on the east coast
of the Red sea. The Italian warships
which took the principal part in the
battle were the cruiser Piemonta and
the destrOyers Garibaldino and Arti-
gliere. The commander-in in chief had
received orders to destroy or capture
the Turkish gunboats, as adyices had
been received that they were Trans
rorting from Arabia Turkish troops
destined to reinforce the Turkish
army in Cyrenaica by way of Egypt.
AS soon as the Italian warships en-
countered the Turkish gunboats they
| sent shots across their bows and
| called on them to surrender. The
| Turkish vessels gave no sign of COM
pliance and the Italians Immediately
opened a terrific fire, throwing in a
| hail Of shells from their broadsides.
The Turkish gunners replied feebly
but did not succeed in striking the
| ish boats were soon on fire and in a
few minutes began--to sink. Boats
were lowered from the Italian war
ships, which picked up many Turk
ish seamen, but large number were
I drowned.
During the brief combat the Turk
ish gunners displayed utter incompe-
tence, their small guns being fired
I wildly. The shells from the Italian
ships were not directed at the Turk
ish yacht Fauvette, which accom-
spanied the gunboats, and she was the
only unit OF the Turkish fiotilla which
was not destroyed during the fight.
The Fauvette is being, brought tc
Italy under convoy.

Grand Trunk Railroad Makes
Long Contemplated Move
FORMALLY ASKS PERMISSION
Petitions Massachusetts, Legislature
For Permission to Build From Ne4
Hampshire Border-TWo Indepen-
dent Lines In State, as Well as
Operation of Steamships, Also

Boston, Jan. 15.-Oficials of the
Grand Trunk railroad have issued a
statement that the Grand Trunk rail-
road is headed for Boston. From
some point on the Central Vermont
road in the Connecticut valley the
road plans to build across New Hamp-
shire and Middlesex county into Bos-
ton; also the big Canadian company
proposes to build line from Black
stone to Boston, which, with the new
Palmer Providence road, will give an
Independent Grand Trunk line be-
tween Boston and Providence and an
other line from Douglas to Worcester.
A steamship line in New England
waters, giving new Independent line
between Boston and New York or 9TH
er points, is also planned.
The Southern New England Rail-
road company. which is the legal
name of the Central Vermont-G Grand
Trunk corporation, petitioned the
Massachusetts legislature for the right
to extend its lines in Massachusetts
and to operate steamships under au-
thority of Massachusetts law.
l. Although no mention is made of the
Boston location Of the railroad > it is
| believed that a site has already been
J discussed and that the company is
only awaiting the permission Of the
Legislature to complete its plans.
This move, which has been cOntem-
| plated for some time, means direct
connection between Boston and tbs
Pacific coast, and great trade posi-
bilities for Boston in the northwest.
! When work will be started depends
| entirely upon the legislature. The
Grand Trunk is ready to go ahead
| The line will enter Massachusetts
from some point on the New Hamp-
shire line. 1t may parallel the Boston
and Maine Concord division line.
Application will at once be made fo1
similar rights in New Hampshire, tt
| provide connection from White
River Junction, to which point the
roads line now extends. Owing tt
the fact that the New Hampshire leg.
islature meets biennially and no
again until 1913, the matter will b.
taken up at once with the railroa;
commission in that state, the com
pany asking permission for authori-.
to go ahead until the Legislature shat
give final authority.
Business men and city officials wht
| learned OF the intention of the Crane
Trunk rejoiced at the opportunity i
would give for the development of tn,
| port OF Boston. 1t will mean, the,
said, that Boston wifi become tn,
virtual outlet OF this great system
| during period Of six months in tn
| year when Montreal is inaccessible tt
