Italy Having Difficult Time to Hold the Narrow Zone—Uprising of the Sen- nousi Told in a Letter. The Washington, D. C., Evening Star of Friday said: ¥rank Edward Johnson, artist, ex- vlorer archelogist and ethnologist, who {8 in this city after a stay of several years in north Africa, yester- day received letters from friends in Tripoli containing interestipg news from the scene of military operations in that country. These letters, which were sent out in such a manner as to escape the rigid censorship which has heen established by the Italian mili- tary authorities, asserted that the Ttalian army is making absolutely no headway against the Arabs and Tri- politans and that it is only with the greatest difficulty that the Italians retaln possession of the narrow zone surrounding Tripoli, which was seized by them at the outbreak of actual hostilities, Mr. Johnson's correspondents write that the Ttalians are losing thousands of horses, the losses hopelessly ecrip- pling the cavalry arm of the army of cecupation, and putting the artillery out of commission. The horses, which were brought ish. alkaline water—which is the only water to be obtained for drinking pur- poses about Tripoli or the desert— and in consequence of going waterless under the desert sumn, the animals have died literally by thousands. The Ital- ians, the letters state, have comman- deered all the damels within reach, untll, a few d before these letters were mailed, the government of Tu- nis, by proclamation of the bey of Tu- nis, prohibited the exportation of cam- els from that country for the reason that the animals are becoming so scarce that the people of Tunisia have not sufficlent numbers with which to carry on the agricultural and other work of the country. Natives Ignore Italian Appeal. The letters refer to the use of aero- planes by the Italian army in scout- ing and observation work above the Arab and Tripolitan forces encamped in the desert oages and in the very outgkirts of Tripoli itself. These aero- planes, which at first terrified the tribesmen, have become so common that they receive little attention from the Arabs. Handbills, printed on thin paper, are carried by the aviators and are dropped in great numbers in the camps of the Arab forces. A translation of one of these handbills, orlginally printed in Arabic, reads: “To the Arabs of Tripolitania: “What are you waiting for, in order to come to us? Do you not feel the necessity of praying in your mosques and of living quietly with your fam- ilies; of lett'ng your animals or cattle graze In peace, and of taki; up com- merce again in all securit: “We have read the bool We are also religious, and also hon- ltaly is your father, because he is ed Tripolitania, which yeur mother. I tell you to come to us in curity; no harm shall come and the past will be forgotten. “I tell you that all those who come to me with their guns and all of their ammunition ‘will eac hone receive a napoleon (twenty francs in gold), and a sack of barley or of wheat. The different political and religious chiefs will be “acknowledged by the Italian government and will be paid for their services. My word is unique (true). Aliah ig great! Pray to him that he will open your eyes to the truth. to (Signed) “GEN. CANEVA.” Air. Johnson's correspondents say that so far the Arabs have paid no attention to these handbills and other proclamations, using the bills thrown | from the aeroplanes for cigarette pa- pers. as the war and blockade have made it difficult for them to obtain papers for cigarettes.
