continued interrupted today and little
developed to indicate the course of
events at the seat of the TurkoItalian
war. If earlier reports were based on
correct information the bombardment
OF the city by the Italian fleet should
have begun at noon today tapproxi-
mately at 6 a. m, New York time.)

begun, but wireless messages received
at the Italian capital from the fleet
subsequently made no mention of this,
or if they did, the facts did not reach
the public.
Turkish Fleet in Archipelago.
An Italian cruiser reports that the
Turkish fleet has not reached the
Dardanelies but that the ships have
separated and are still in the Archi-
pelago where they are sought by Ital.
ian warships.
1t was announced at the German
foreign office today that Germany
probably would not proclaim her neu-
trality because of the likelihood that
the hostilities would be short; and
also no steps toward mediation were
probable before the Tripolitan coast
had been occupied by the Italians.
Turkey Protests.
The Turkish ambassador at London
presented another Turkish note to the
British foreign Office setting forth
that Italy had begun hostilities previ-
Gus to the declaration of war and that
Turkey would be justified in adopting
whatever measures it might decree
beyond those provided by the rules of
war. This, however, she has not
done, pending fresh appeal to the
powers in the conviction that the con-
flict might be stayed.
