onel did not fool us a bit when he said
"Fhe people are tired Of me-" They
are not tired or the colonel. They Ike
him as well as ever, and they VIII
never waver in their admiration for
him.
What the people are tired OF is the
hard times that reformers impose up
on them. They want progress, but
they don't want to have their pros
perity wrecked in order to get it.
They don't think such progress is
progress at all.
When Cols Roosevelt was at the
helm no man was better worker
for the prosperity Of the American
people. He could have anything he
wanted-all the progress and reform
he crayed so long as the people pros
Ipered.
Since Col. Roosevelt left office the
people have not been quite SO flourish

ITALY makes ANOTHER
step TOWARD WAR
By The United Press.


PARIS, Oct. PA Naples despatch
says that twenty Italian transport
ships, heavily escorted by an Italian
naval fleet, sailed today to bring back
the Italian troops now in Tripoli and
Cyrenaica. Their place will be taken
by volunteer corps just formed in
Italy.
Although the return Of troops from
Lydia is ostensibly due to the fact that
their term Of enlistment has expired,
the movement is universally accepted
in italy as another one of the steady
preparations being made by the Ital-
ian government for eventual partici-
patton in the present war.
Should Italy take possession Of
Trieste and TRENT, as it is confidently
expected she will do if she joins with
the allies. she will thus have 100000
more trained soldiers than otherwise.
the troops being brought back from
Tripoli being subject to military duty
under a general mobilization.
Italy's precautionary" mobili-
cation now consists of about
10000 soldiers. These comprise
the chief military units that
would be employed in a war against
Austria. The task of these troops is
to make the preparations necessary
for the filling out TO war strength. OF
all the units the instant a general
mobilization is ordered
It is not considered likely that with
this preparation. Italy will order the
mobilization of any more troops un-
til the actual moment that the entire
Italian strength may be called out for
active participation in war.
