GOOD SUPPLY OF OYSTERS.
Amount at Wharf Sufficient to Meet
Demands.

The supply of oysters in the shell
aboard the vessels lying at the oyster
wharf. while not very large, is sufficient
to meet all demands that will be made
upon it for the next day or two. and
those who go to the 18th street wharf
today to get their weekly supply of the
bivalves on the half shell. or freshly
shucked, will have an ample supply to
select from.
Not only are there plenty of Potomac
oysters on sale, but there are two or
three vessels at the wharf with Chesa-
peake bay oysters aboard. which are
said to be as fine as any that have been
Drought here this season. The bivalves are
selling at from so cents to so cents a
bushel and the shuckers will be on hand
in numbers to give their services to the
oyster buyers for a small consideration.

OBJECT TO STREET CONDITIONS
Northeast County Citizens Make
Protest to Commissioners.

At the March meeting of the North
east County Citizens Association a reso-
luton was adopted complaining of the
conditions of the streets in Deanwood,
Linwood. Burrville and other suburbs in
the territory covered by the association,
and the District Commissioners were
asked to plan for street improvements
that would remedy matters. It was stated
that for several weeks it had been impos-
sible to have coal delivered in quantities
larger than a few bushels. as wagons
loaded with even nalf a ton Of coal mired
down to the hubs.
resolution adopted at the meeting d.
rected that a letter be sent to the District
Commissioners objecting to the statement
said to have been made a few days ago
by Police Capt Daley of the ninth pre-
cinct that separate cars for white and
colored passengers would be the only
way of doing away with the frequent
riots and car fights on the line to Chesa-
peake Junction.

y ANACOSTIA.

One of the first things which will be up
for consideration by the new school COM
mittee Of the Anacostia Citizens Asso-
citation will be the problem Of placing in
active use the large assembly hall In the
Ketcham School building. When the
building was erected a few years ago
provision was made for this assembly
room. but it was not made easily access
sible 1t is located on the top floor Of the
building, and Is reached only by means
of small wooden stairway. Should a
fire occur while all of the children were
assembled in the room, it would result
disastrously. The proposition to be adj
vanced will be that of widening this
stairway and making it Of fireproof con-
struction.
If the plans Of the young folks of the
Anacostia Baptist Church are executed.
the church will again be represented by
a base ball club Ladue McGill, who
managed the team last year, is consider
ing the management this year.

and gymnasium.
Plans have been completed for special
meeting of Anacostia Lodge, No. q,
F. A. A. NJ, to be held tomorrow evening

will be conferred and a special feature
will be the fact that the degree will be

tiers of the lodge. Charles F. Roberts,
the present master, Is making the ar
rangements and has extended a special
invitation to all members to be present.

The Italian Troops in Tripoli.

10 the Editor OF The Star:
| desire to make a protest as an Italian
against some articles recently printed in
The Star about the war in Tripoli. Those
who write them are not well acquainted
with the present war situation. Some of
this so-called news makes one laugh
For instance, the claim that the Italian
army horses are dying by thousands
that the Italian army has been routed
aboard their ships. etc. Be the
news from Frank Edward Johnsons
correspondents on the Tunisian frontier
or Turkish lines, or be it from the pen
of Mr.. Montague (the hero of CONSTANT
nople), or ue it from the mouth of Mai
Artemis Barthurst. he who was assigned
as chief of Turkish scouts, and who said
when he was interviewed by a Partisan
newspaper reporter at Malta to the eff
feet that the Italian soldier is not brave,
those articles are in fact very dubious.
We know that since the beginning of the
war in Libia many newspapers of divers
natonaltieS have been afflicted with
Italophobia and have fabricated news OF
all kinds. denouncing the Italian army
a barbarous until the truth came out
and the world was Mortified at the bar
barous treatment by the enemy of the
war prisoners and the wounded and at
the shooting down of Red Cross nurses
ana some or the war CORE
spondents in Africa are not worth a
penny for their judgment of military tao
tics. A man who has never received any
military instruction may write as ma
chine of what he sees-or perhaps never
sees, but only what he hears from others
and then you have not a clear idea OF
military tactics or maneuverS, but only
a very confused report about operations
l earnestly hope that Maj. Artems
Barthurst has seen some of the bayone,
charges famous for their SwiftnesS)
made by those brave soldiers. He will
not say that the Italian soldier is afraid
distance of a few yards. and. of course
the enemy then is at very close quarters
when the command to charge is given
The only conclusion l can come to is that
Maj. Artemis Barthurst must have been
one of those fleeing before some of those
Infatuated charges that makes the ARABIC
Turks run like rabbits. Artilleryman, in
fantryman, alpin, grenadier fusilier
bersaglier or sailor all have been taught
the same trick and in the same fearless
way how to handle the bayonet at the
cry of Savoy / hope that my letter
Will reach as far as Malta, where Maj
Artemis Barthurst resides. to convey the
idea of a man who has been for long
period in the Italian navy a graduate
in gunnery. The latest news from the
Libian shores will convince every fair.
minded man in regards to the valor an6
courage of the Italian soldiers and sailors
