UNTIL TODAY.
WERE TRANSPORTING TROOPS
suNkEN VESSELS WERE TAKING
RElNFoRcEMENIs TO THE
sULTANs ARMY.

Rome, jan IA severe naval bat
tie took place recently in the Rec
sea, when seven Turkish gunboats anC
an armed yacht were destroyed by
Italian warships. The action occurred
on January Z, outside of the Bay oi
Kunfida, small walled town with q

of the Red sea.
The Italian warships which took
the principal part in the battle were
the cruiser Piemonte and the destroy
ers Galibaldino and Artigliere. The
commander in chief had received or
ders to destroy or capture the Turkish
gunboats, as advices had been re-
ceived that they were transporting
from Arabia Turkish troops destined
to reinforce the Turkish army in Cy-
renoica by way of Egypt.
A brief official note issued this aft
ernoon says: "The Italian feet in
the Red sea encountered today and de-
seven Turkish gunboats and
captured Turkish armed yacht. The
warships offered violent re-
sistance, but no loss was sustained
by the Italians"
AS soon as the italian warships en-
countered the Turkish gunboats, a
short distance from the Bay of Kunaida
they sent shots across their bows and
called on them to surrender The
Turkish vessels gave no sign of COM
plianee and the Italians Immediately
opened a terrific fire, throwing in a
hail of shells from their broadsides.
The Turkish gunners replied feebly
and did not strike the Italian vessels.
All seven of the Turkish. ships were
soon on fire and began to sink.
Boats lowered from the italian war.
ships picked up many Turkish sea
men, but a large number were drown
ed. The shells from the Italian ships
were not directed at the Turkish
yacht Fauvette, which is being
brought to Rome.

Last year the High school girls held
the Eigl school championship of the

same honors this year.
One thing that is causing the girls
of the High school considerable re-
gret is that the girls of the Normal

season, and they intimate that they
think the Normal girls are staying out
Of the field fearing defeat. Last year
the Teachers defeated the High School
girls but this year their chances, 1t
is said, would have been slim. For
this reason the High school lassies
assert they are staying out of the
game. The Highs have already
claimed the city championship. Up
to date no lineup for the team has
been chosen as with the large amount
of material in the field the competi-
tion is keen and picking the best of 10
players is no simple task.

ing today. Mr.. Gibson was sent to
Washington by his community to deny
the stories that have been told to the

general sentiment of the sugar beet
growers and they. are satisfied with
the treatment afforded them by the
sugar mill owners. He was cross-ex-
amined by Representatives Hardwick
and Baker, who sought to show by
him that there had been friction and
that alien labor was employed. The
witness admitted these facts but de-
clared the testimony of the dissatis-
fed beet. farmers was an exaggeration.
Mr.. Gibson discussed the growth his
section in Colorado had made and de-
clared that the politics of Colorado
was in HI of fix"
Mr.. Gibson took issue with wit
ness who had stated that the so-called
sugar trust controls Colorado politics
and newspapers.

unique views on politics and on wo
men suffrage. John e. Law, of Wind
