Italy Decisive

She assumed a decisive attitude and began the mobilization of her army and navy.
 A few days ago the first squadron of the Italian navy was sent to Tripoli and it has since patrolled the coast. At the same time Turkey was warned not to send soldiers or munitions of war to Tripoli
 A Turkish transport bearing few men and arms and ammunition later arrived at TripoH from Constantinople, was not molested on the ground that she had sailed before the Italian warning had been received, but Italy in the mean time brought soldiers to the coast, where they were placed on board ship ready to proceed to any point
 A second squadron is designed for Sa- lonica. The American cruiser Chester is now on her way to Tripoli and should reach there early in October, possibly by the 4th. Her mission was, when she left American waters, to afford protection to party of American archaeologists un- der Prof. Richard Newton, who contem- plated excavations in the neighborhood of Cyrene. The party was to have left London this week, but the outbreak of war may otherwise change the plans.

England Anxious

London, September 29-In Great Britain more than in any other country in Eu- rope outside the fcombatants, the war be- tween Italy and Turkey causes .appre- hension. Damage to England's interests and prestige is a factor in the resultant anxiety. The danger is how far the Turks will exercise self restraint and limit their retaliation to Italy; how far racial and religious feeling may excite them to political activities. -
 Much the darkest clouds tonight seem to be in the direction of Greece. Strong fear prevails lest Turkish pride and the necessity for the young Turks govern ment to gain popularity may incite the government to show that it also can play the game of aggression and de- mand Greece to give up her claims on Crete.
 British officials are more concerned over the possibilities of trouble in the Balkans and Greece than with the actual conflict over Tripoli. The theory gains ground here that Italy's stroke is the last act of the programme agreed upon by tho powers of the triple entente, that it was arranged when Austria took Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Italy only awaited an opportune moment to carry it into exc cution.
 Austria's acquisition of the two prov- inces, Germanys forward movement in Morocco and Italy's compensating cam paign near by are interpreted by un- friendly observers as too logical to be considered mere independent acts. Eng lands hands are tied officially in the present strained relations of Europe. The government cannot afford to incur the enmity of either 'belligerent by taking sides with the other, yet her neutrality means a loss, of influence with Turkey, Jrioic cI1 q Str1IpolipO n atair In since the beginning of the young Turk

Grey Is Criticised

While most of the London papers be- moan the war as calamity, in which England could not interfere, the Daily Graphic attacks the foreign secretary, Sir Edward Grey, contending that he should have stood by the treaty obliga- tions which make the integrity of the Ottoman empire, an European affair, in which no one power has the right to interfere.
 The Economist. in an article entitled ''The Partition of North Africa says:
 Undoubtedly Italy has as much right
 to establish a protectorate over Tripoli as France has over Tunis We dare say
 Italy's commercial interests in Tripoli
 and the Italian colonies in that some-
 what barren country are at least equal
 to the original interests that served
 Franco as pretext in Tunis or Morocco
 Morocco stands to lose heavily in any
 case"
 The Economist declares that as the British foreign office embraces the young Turks and as Italy is one of the three
 powers against which the British feverish naval programme is directed, it naturally
 would be expected that the foreign of
 fee would exert itself to prevent this
 unprovoked attack on Turkish villayet. If Italy feared Austrian aggression, says the paper. it would not lock up its
 picked troops in hazardous and costly
 expedition to a country offering so few
 attractions. Vienna reports that Italy has placed Eno less than seven army corps on a war footing and is mobilizing not only to- ward the south but also in the north The Neue Freie Press of Vienna says that under German auspices negotia- tions will be begun for the establish- ment of an Italian protectorate ovei or occupation of Tripoli. the admins tration to remain in the hands of the Sultan.
