rally, the ottoman fleet is making for
the Dardanalles with two Italian erais-
ers following it on the port quarter.
The fleet is expected TO reach the Oar
danalles tomorrow morning. The Turk
isii government, the dispatch says, has
entire confidence in its ability To pro-
teet Italian subjects at Constantine
pie and at the other principal points
from reprisals by the populaee. But
the position of the italian residents in
the interior especially the Italian work
mon employed ON the Taurus sections
of the Bagdad Railway, is regarded as
less secure.
Turkeys military strength in Tri-
poll appears to be entirely inadequate
TO met the storm. Two regiments OF
cavalry, one infantry division and six
batteries of artillery at the most, with
few fortress troops and engineers
would furnish a maximum of 5000 eff
fective fighting men, of which about
two thirds are believed to be in Tri-
poll. Little or no progress has been
made Since the revolution in the organ
ization of local militia force.

Turkey and italy would be to FIJI a
magnificent role and prove great
practical step In international peace
making.
Such was the opinion OF the Turkish
ambassador, Zia Pusha, expressed to-
1ight during an interview with rep
rcsentative of The Associated Press.
Il am absolutely without late INTEL
ligenee from my home government. and
without special instructions | could
take no step in this important mat
ter the ambassador continued
Moreover If war has been declared,
believe il will be local in nature. In
other words. 1 think Italy will limit
her action to the occupation of Tripoi
and not carry on an offensive and gem
eral conflict of conquest against the
Ottoman Empire
The ambassador said he appreciat-
ell the difference between this war and
the sanguinary struggle between Rus
sia and Japan, which was terminated
through intervention OF ex-President
Roosevelt and he rather foresaw that
the present outbreak would be so cir
sumseribed in It's action and presunl
ably 81 brief in duration that no medi
ion would be necessary. Neyerthe-
less he wanted again to emphasize the
fact that twice in the history of the
world tile powers had guaranteed the
Integrity of the Turkish Empire
In answer to question the ambas-
sador said he did not think there
would be any movement in Turkey
gainst Italians or other Europeans.
The attitude OF the Barber tribes
who form the greater part of Tripolis
reputation of about a million must he
counted upon said the ambassador.
lIow would they look upon the Italian
Invader Might not they offer the same
opposition to the Italians as did the
hold Riffian tribes in Morocco To the
Spanish invaders around Couta and
the Chasdia tribesmen to the advance
of the French in the western part of
Morocco In short, Tripoii herself, he
thought would not submit to Italian
rule without a struggle.
The correspondent remarked that for
years the world had been discussing
the possibility of holy war.

that such a religious, conflict is now
