SPEAKING OF 'ANNUAL FALL OPENINGS'

WAR NEARLY OVER BERLIN SAYS ITALY AND TURKEY HAVE AGREED TO'TERMS Or ARMISTICE. EXPEDITIONARY FORCE LANDS Vanguard of Italian Army of Occupa tion Reaches Tripoli and Disembarks as Fleet Shells Countryside to Drive Moslems Back. Berlin. OcL 12. The armistice be tween Italy and Turkey, for which Ger man diplomacy has been striving for somo time, it is believed here has prac tically been concluded, although not yet announced as "official." It Is understood that the transporta tion of tho Italian military expedition will not be interfered with, but that hostilities In all quarters will cease. This is considered in Berlin as equivalent to the ending of the war, or at least the warlike movements, which will now be succeeded by nego tiations looking to a settlemenL It Is regarded probable that as soon as the strong Italian army has once disembarked at Tripoli even tho Young Turk Irrcconcllablcs will begin to recognize, as apparently the Otto man government already does, that there Is no hope of withholding Trip oli from Italy. Then It will be pos sible for Turkey to enter Into peace negotiations with the prospect of reaching a more satisfactory conclu sion than would result from a continuUon of the conflict.

The batteries of the fleet all through the night shelled the surrounding country, which was swept by tho searchlights. Tripoli has nothing more to fear from Turkish attacks. Rumors of German Coup, rtomc, OcL 12. There Is a feeling In official circles hero that Turkey and Us sympathizers as well as those elements antagonistic to Italy, are doing everything possible to engender opposition among the powers to Italy's plans, and it Is believed that certain reports aim chiefly to play on AngloGerman antagonism. With this object. It Is supposed, tho report has been spread broadcast that Germany, having planned to obtain Tobruk from Turkey prior to the be ginning of hostilities, will end by obtaining this important strategic point from Italy as a base for operations In the Mediterranean against British supremacy. Italy Denies Rumors. All these rumors aro officially de nied by Italy. It Is pointed out by Italian officials that Germany never has taken any step In such a direction in the past and has no Intention to ask anything from Italy in the future, while it la also declared that Italy would not dream of being a cat's paw to draw chestnuts from the fire for Germany, notwlthstandlag the alliance. It is stated that the entire situation remains unchanged; that none of the powera opposes Italy's action, and they have ne Intention of intervening until Italian dominion in Tripoli is Indisputable.

I FEDERAL COURT DECIDES IN GOVERNMENT'S FAVOR IN DISSOLUTION SUIT. DECISION. IS SWEEPING ONE Judges at Baltimore Hold Monopoly In Manufacture of Enamel Ware is Carried Further Than Its Patent Rights Warrant. Baltimore, Md., OcL 14. In the United States circuit court here Judg John C.

The decision is most sweeping in its character. Edwin P. Grosvenor, spe cial assistant to the United States attorney, and United States District Attorney John Philip Hill of Baltimore, who conducted the case for the government, stated that tho decision supports the government's contention on every point. Decision Far Reaching. While this decision is In a separate case from the criminal action against the alleged trust at Detroit, tho proceedings concern the same subject matter and are against the same defendants. According to the prevailing opinion the enamel ware put out by the concerns, although manufactured by means of the automatic dredger of Wayman, is absolutely unpatented, and anyone may sell It as freely as a loaf of bread. "If agreements in this case are not violations of the Sherman act," says the ruling, "similar agreements among all bakers of bread, refiners of petroleum, grinders of snuff, etc., will be legal, provided that somewhere In the process of making bread, refining petroleum, or grinding the snuff a patented tool has been used." Fdrther on tho opinion recites: Monopoly Is Unlawful. "A patentee is as much subject to tho laws of the land as is any other man. From one special application of one class of laws he is exempt. At common law and by statute monopolies are unlawful. At common law an4 by statute a man who Invented a new and useful thing might be given a right which would enable him for a limited time effectually to monopolize 1L "All men know that congress never Intended when it passed the Sherman act to change the patent law. It did not do so. The patentee may In spite of that law monopolize for the term of his patent the thing covered by bis patent Neither at common law, nor in this country by statute, has he ever had a right to monopolize anything else."
