Herbert Montagu of the 5th Fusiliers London, Novy. 16—In spite of Premier Giolotti’s denials that the Italian troops have been guilty of atrocities at Tripoli, the British people are greatly agitated over the stories sent by the British correspondents, and confirmed in many cases by photographs. The agitation set on foot by the British press and several of the members of the House of Commons has received fresh impetus through a telegram received by a news- agency from Herbert Montagu, a Second Lieutenant of the 5th Fusiliers. Lieut. Mon- tagu telegraphed from Soukelyohma by way of Dehibat, on the frontier of Tunis, as follows: “I feel it my duty to send you the following telegram, and I beg you in the name of Christianity to publish it throughout England. Iam an English officer now volun- tarily serving in the Turkish army here. ‘“‘As you know already about the ferocious resistance which the Turks and Arabs| are offering the Italians, I will only express my admiration for their bravery and forti- tude, which would warm the heart of any Englishman, or of any true soldier in the world. ‘Imagine my feelings when, on entering and driving the Italians out of Arab houses which they had fortified and were holding, we discovered the bodies of some 120 women and children with their hands and feet beund, mutilated, pierced and torn. Later on at (the name of the town was lost in transmission) we found a mosque filled with the bodies of women and children mutilated almost beyond recognition. I could not count them, but there must have been three or four hundred. ‘In this European war are such crimes to be committed? Cannot England do something to stop such horrors? In our civilization and times you can hardly believe it, but it is true nevertheless. I myself have seen it, so I know. ‘Even now we are getting news of further massacres of women and children who were discovered in different farms lately occupied by Italians. The idea of the Italians when they slaughtered the innocents obviously was one of revenge for their heavy losses in battle. ‘‘We are at this moment under a heavy shrapnel fire, so you must excuse me if these sentences are somewhat disjointed.
