[" Sherbrooke Daily Record.Established 1897 SHERBROOKE, QUE., FRIDAY OCTOBER f» 1911.ONE CENT.Italian Troops Landed at Tripoli With Small Loss of PEW BODIES FOUND AMONG THE RUINS OF TURKISH FORTS.London, Oct.0.\u2014The little war news of yesterday Is practically confined to the activities of preparation hy Italy for the occupation of Tripoli and to further despatches anent the bombardment of Tripoli.These despatches, as ali news to date has been, are contradictory.What apparently has happened has been the destruction of forts, with very little loss of life, the withdrawal of the Turkish troops, and the landing of a body of Itlalian sailors, who will remain under protection o! the guns of the fleet.Expert commentors are inclined to wonder at the bombardment, unless it.was merely intended as a demonstration which might possibly bring Turkey to terms at once.Otherwise the action of the fleet in not having the co-operation of troops is criticised as likely to prolong the next stage of the campaign.Had i.he bombardment been supported by troops on either side or the city it might led to ; the cutting off of the garrison in the rear.Now they have practically beer allowed to concentrate with the A rails back of the town.In the mean while Tripoii has not formally sunendered, though the port is defenceless.Little credit has attached to the reports from various sources, all of which are unofficial, of naval engagements and bombardments of Mitylene.Prevesa, Derna, Begazi and other places, especially in the Dardanelles.( onstantinople is seething with political intrigue.ITALIAN FLAG RAISED.London, Octobei 0.\u2014The Italian flap floats over Sultana fort at Tripoli.which is occupied by landing parties.Part of the fleet is anchored in the harbor and other warships lie a shorb distance from the dismantled fortifications.Few bodies of Turks have, been found among the ruins of forts, and apparently no great number oi Turks were killed by the bombardment.An interesting report is current from Constantinople, that while Germany favors the adoption of the Italian ultimatum as the basis of peace negotiations, Great Britain proposes that Tripoli shall become a privileged tributary Turkish vilayet under joint Turoo-Italian administration, thus retaining the suzerainty of the Sultan.BENGHAZI AND DERNA.London, October 0.\u2014The Chronicle\u2019s Constantinople despatch from Tripoli says that Italian warships are bombarding Benghazi and Derna, aqa that the former is vigorously returning the fire.FUGITIVE'S FROM TRIPOLI.Malta, October 6.\u2014Fugitives from Tripoli who ai rived last night, say that small parties of Italians are landing all along the coast from Tripoli to Benghazi.It is believed, however, thati there w;;l be no landing in force until the main expeditionary arrives.Small bodies of Arabs skirmished with the landing parties.OFFER FOR SERVICE.Rome, Oct.4.\u2014Five thousand soldiers, natives of Erythraea, the Italian protectorate in Africa, have offered themselves for service in Tripoli.'

in particular it was brought face to face with numerous problems of admitted difficulty But optimism continued to be the prevailing spirit among the representatives gathered here from the four quarters of the globe.The western section, comprising the Methodist churches in the United States, Canada and Ja pan, reported a loss in net membership increase during the past decade, while the eastern section covering the churches in Great Britain and Ireland, France, South Africa, Aus tralasia, and mission fields, showed an absolute loss in membership Church union was prominent in the discussions of yesterday and considerable gains in its advocates and in its membership were noted.Représenta tives of the Primitive Church present ed facts indicating vigor and accom plishments in that branch.Nearly all the speakers who pointed out problems suggested possible methods of solving them.Especial interest was shown in the address of Rev.H.Ogata, of the Japan Methodist Church, who reported remarkable progress of the denomination in his country since the merging of the three Methodist Churches in one about four years ago.Nothing was more perplexing to the ordinary Japanese mind, he thought, than the fact that there arc so many reh gious denominations and so many different Methodist Churches.He belicv-ed Christianity\u2019s strongest appeal eventually would he found in one church, comprehensive enough to co ver all religious needs, instead of in twenty-five or thirty denominations.The striking decrease in growth of membership in the Methodist church es of the western division was shown by H.K.Carroll, of New York, sec rotary for that division at the pro sent conference.The increase in members in the decade ending 1891 was 1,261,209.In the last decade it was only 437,562, the latter increase being but fifteen p.e.as contrasted with the former of 33 p.e.This he accounted for in part by a decrease in earnestness.\u201cOur pulpit is not less desirous of reaching the unconverted in foreign lands,\u201d he 1 said, \u201cbut ,t seems to be less burdened with anxiety for the unconverted in Christian lands.Our preaching is conforming somewhat to the spirit of the age, which carelessly says God will not condemn those who do the best they can.\u201d The various Methodist bodies in Great Britain gained about 150,000 members in the past years, according to Rev.Simpson Johnson, of London, secretary of the Westminster Metho dist Conference.During the last half of the decade, however, there has been a notable decrease, attributable he thought, to conditions outside the church and a weakening of forces to meet changed social conditions.Social reforms and institutional rneth ods must be subordinated to the Gospel methods, he asserted.GOES IN FIVE MINUTES Heariburn, Dyspepsia, Gas and other Stomach Misery Vanishes.If wlinl.you just ate is souring on your stomach or lies like a lump of lead, refusing to digest, or you belch Gas and Eructate sour, undigested food, or have a feeling of Dizziness, Heartburn, Fullness, Nausea, Bad taste in mouth and stomach headache\u2014this is Indigestion.A full case of Pape's Diapepsin costs only 50 cents and will thor oughly cure your out-of-order stomach, and leave sufficient about the house in case some one.else in the family may suffer from stomach trouble or Indigestion.Ask your pharmacist to show you the formula plainly printed on these 50-cent cases, then you will understand why Dyspeptic trouble of all kinds must go, and why Diapepsin always relieves sour, out-of-order stomachs or Indigestion in five minutes.Diapepsin is harmless and tastes like candy, though each dose contains power sufficient to dige.st and prepare for assimilation into the blood all the food you eat: besides, it makes you go to the table with a healthy appetite;
