HIGHLY IMPORTANT COMMAS

A COMMA is only one OF many

Then there is the story about the
Russian empress. Marie Feodorew-

Imprisoned one OF his political enc

ly caught sight of the following
note, written by her husband on the

rants: Pardon impossible. to be
sent to Siberia"
Marie had pleaded for the life OF
this subject. His wife was one OF
her childhood friends and she had
done all she could to save the con-
splrator. Alexander could not, In
duty bound, release the plotter, and
the sentence stood until Marie
transposed the comma so that II

LIBYA IN WAR PICTURE.
By the Associated Press.


ROME, October ia vast area of
Northern Africa was drawn today into
the warlike picture which hitherto has
been confined largely to Ethiopia.
Reliable sources reported barbed
wire entanglements were stretched
along the frontier of Italy's North
African possession of Libya, where
thousands of troops have been sent,
for security against native elements
along the Egyptian border"
The new barricade between Libya
and Egypt, now nominally inde-
pendent kingdom but once a British
protectorate, was reported to extend
400 kilometers Gao miles,.
simultaneously, Italians at home
assailed the British government for its
refusal to consider Withdrawing its
naval reinforcements from the Medi-
terranean, in response to q French sug-
gestion, unless italy reduced its ibyan
garrison.
Numerous Italian ships sailing this
week with more than 10000 troops to
join the army Of Gen. Emilio de Bono,
commander in chief on the Northern
Ethiopian front, were instructed 70
take on sufficient fuel and supplies for
O round trip.
Shipping sources said this order was
necessary because italian ships had
experienced difficulty in obtaining
necessary supplies at Suez. and that
they might be cut on entirely at any

CAIRO, Egypt. october 18.-In-
formed sources said today temporary
abolition of Egyptian capitulations
under which Americans and other
foreigners may be tried for offenses
only by representatives Of their own
governments, is being discussed by
British and Egyptian officials.
A bulletin published by the English
newspaper. the Egyptian Mail, re-
ported: THE Egyptian government is
intending to announce officially its
participation in enforcement of SAN
tions after a cabinet meeting October
70 1t is believed it probably will de-
eide upon temporary abolition of
eapitulations."
The Mails report was described by
an authoritative source as partially
true, but premature"
1t was understood the surrender of
eapitulations would be intended pri-
marily to direct British control over
the large Italian population in Egypt,
totaling 10000.
Hope u. s. Will Favor Plan.
The British were understood re-
liably to hope this move would be
agreeable to such powers as the United
States and France, entirely as tenn
porary measure.
Capitulation was suspended once
before, in 1914, due to military neces-
sites.
The temporary measure is an issue

gotiations that the minimum perma-
nent limit to which the British gov
ernment is prepared to 60 Is to under
take to use all its influence with the
powers to accept transference of juris-
diction of the consular courts to mixed
courts" this publication said.
What is more likely is that the
subject Of discussion is temporary sus

Were All Allies in 1914.
AL Mokattam pointed out capitula-
tory powers did not object to suspen-
sion in 1914 because they were allies
of Great Britain, but intimated that
nations joining Britain in sanctions
against Italy could hardly be con-
sidered similarly as allies"
The Egyptian press heaped criti-
eism on Premier Nessim. for fear he
was not obtaining adequate conces-
sions from the British, such as q
promise of eventual military evacu-
alton and restoration Of the consti-
tuition and Parliament, in return for
supension Of capitulationS.
For the first time since the 1918

xette, using this term, said: "Procras-
