ITALY TO USE BIG {,
STICK IN TURKEY
Squadron OF Eleven Warships
Will Make Demonstration
in Turkish Waters.
MAY OCCUPY SMALL ISLAND
Hopes That Turkey Will See Error Of
Her Ways and Give Com.
plete Satisfaction.

Rome, April 21.-An Italian squad
ron, under command of Admiral Gre
not, will set out probably to-day 70
the purpose of making demonstrate
in Turkish waters. The squadron
comprises eleven wafships. Alto
gether the vessels will carry sos!
men. and their objective point will bt
Asia Minor, some hundred
miles away.
1t has been decided, if 1t is deemed
necessary. also to occupy a small isl
and off that coast, but it is hoped
here that Turkey may see the error o.
| her ways and give full satisfaction, sc
that more energetic measures may
be avoided. The difficulty between the
two nations arises out of the refusal
of the Turkish government TO permit
the installation of Italian p~ostotices
in Turkish territory, while at the
same time other foreign nations have
established and are conducting post
offices there without Interference.
Much irritation in Italy.
Considerable irritation has been
felt here over the murder of an italian
missionary in Tripoli and the prosecu
ton by the Ottoman authorities Of
natives who have sold land to Ital
ians, but the present action of the
italian government is based primarily
on the %postofice question.
For years it has been felt in gov
ernment circles in Rome that Turkey
has been taking advantage Of the in
ternational situation to act in a high
handel manner toward Italians, show
ing but little respect for Italian rights,
This government. it is stated, has
been indulgent, not wishing to cause
complications which might endanger
the accord of the powers with regard
to the Ottoman or the Balkan prob
lens.
Turned Down by Turkey.
In addition there has been much op,
position on the part of Turkey to all
peaceful Italian initiative in Tripoli,
Ita.y asked for permission to open
postofices in Turkish territory where
other powers already were establish
ed. and met with what Is considered
by the administration here a. ~unjusti'
fable refusal, for, besides being an
acquired right, Italy considers that
she is entitled to claim ii according
to treaties between the two countries
granting her the privileges of the
most favored nation.
Apparently Turkey came to the con-
clusion that the Italian government
would never resort to extreme meas
ures. In view of the fact that the
Macedonian problem is pending, for
the settlement of which the accord OF
the powers is indispensable, and she
went SO far as to order d~etachments
Of troops to guard the Italian post
Offices and thus prevent the work
from being carried on.
To this p~rovocation the Italian ad
niinistration felt that it could only re
ply with coercive measures in order
to protect the dignity of Italy and
safeguard her rights.
