MAIN FEATURE OF
 WAR IS ECONOMIC
Italian Reverses Cannot Affect the Result though May PrOlOng
 the Duration.

London, Nov. 2.-Lord Robert Cecil minister of blockade, in his talk with the Associated Press, declared today that there is not the least reason to suppose that the Italian reverses will affect the result of the war.
 "What has happened may affect the duration of the war or it may not, ? Sir Robert said. Sooner or later the economic side of the war is as likely as anything else to produce the de- sired affect, according to the extent of the resources of the allied powers and the enemy to carry on an economic offensive"
 "In this connection Sir Robert point ed out the great preponderence of the entente allies resources. He declared that the allies are doing and will do all possible for Italy, and would re- gard the battle front in all the war theatres as one comprehensive front.

Captain of Negro Company Gives Testimony Favor

 CLUBBED CORPORAL
Troops Knew Corporal Had Not Been Killed But Were IncenSed Arm. ed Themselves and Shot
 Up the Town.

San Antonio, Nov. 2-Positive identification of three negroes of the 24th infantry, who participated in the riot at Houston, August 23 last, which resulted in the death of 22 persons was made this afternoon by Captain Haig Shakerjain of the 24th infantry, testifying at the courtmartial trial of the 63 negroes, who are charged with muntiny, murder and rioting.
 k The Identification was made in con- 'nection with detailed narrative of ev- ents leading up to the riot. The three identified are Corporal J. I. Hawkins, Corporal G. Brown and Private Ira Davis.
 The shooting up of Houston, accord ing to the captains testimony, was precipitated by the action of Policeman Sparks of Houston in abusing Corpor- al Chas. Baltimore of the 24th in- fantry when he arrested him in the streets of houston on the afternoon preceding the night of the outbreak.
 At the time of Baltimore's arrest, the witness testified, Baltimore was on military police duty and wore a police badge that was plainly visible. lHe CTOuDlc StdTtcU, lHC CdptaiU CeSLl- fled, when Baltimore asked Policeman Sparks why he arrested negro mem Der of the 24th infantry. Baltimore, according to Shekerjain, said Sparks cursed him and told him. it was none of his business. Baltimore then told Sparks he was on guard duty and would have to report back to his commanding officer why the soldier had been arrested. To this. the wit ness said, Sparks replied he didn't have to tell negro, and hit him on the head twice with his pistol. Balti- more took refuge under bed in a house, Sparks following, pulling him out and striking him again with the pistol.
 Meantime the report reached the camp that Baltimore had been shot and killed. This incensed the troops and notwithstanding the fact that they were told Baltimore was not killed their anger continued and that night they armed thap1selyes, went to Hous. ton and mot up the town s.s
