would not be cordial. However. some
had suggested otherwise. These were
not Iowans Perhaps the wishes We're
father to the thought. AT any rate l
wish to testify my gratitude to the
governor, to state officers. to the con-
gressmen Of Iowa and to the senator's
for their cordial reception without re-
gard to the question as to whether
they agreed with me in politics or not.
l want to say the same thing about the
people who turned out. believe they
have learned something that I had in
my heart to tell them. and I guess 1t
has not done them any harm"

dent Taft said that while many per-
sons thought that president should
keep to the White House and while he
realized the force Of this argument, it
was hard to sit at the seat Of govern
ment with feeling in ones breast Of
desire for expression of character
that shall not. be denunciatory that
shall not be. partiss.n in form. but
merely in a quasi judicial way to state
your reasons for your actions. He be-
lieved 1t helped clarity the situation to
get out into the country and give voice
to his views.

Turk. Sink Raraes.

Constantinople, Sept. 3o.-The Turk
ish ministry according to the reports
current here. has received dispatch
from the late Turkish military attache
at Paris, who has assumed command
Of the forces at Tripoli, stating that the
italians began to disembark yesterday
afternoon but the Turks succeeded In
sinking the first two barges.
It IL rurnored also that italian forces
have landed both at Tripon and Beng
hail.
The Turkish cabinet has resigned,
Grand Vizier and Kiamit Pasha that
Of foreign minister. Mahmoud Shelf
ket Pasha continues as war minister.
The italian charge. Sisnor DiMartino,
handed the Porte yesterday afternoon
a communication intimating the inten-
ton OF Italy to proceed with the meas
ures foreshadowed in the ultimatum.
This was tantamount to a declaration
Of war and as a state OF war would
give Italy greater freedom OF action
in Turkish waters there is much ap-
prehension regarding the Turkish war
vessels at present steaming in the
direction OF the Dardanelles, lest they
are captured by the Italian sduardon,
which Is believed to be watching the
movements Of the Turkish ships.
Importance Of Fight in Doubt.
The official version at Constantinpole
OF the naval engagement off Prevesa
differs from the earlier reports in that
It makes no mention Of the landing OF
troops following the sinking Of Turk
ish torpedo boat destroyer by an italian
cruiser.
The Importance Of the engagement IS
thus left in doubt. tho 1t is notable as
being the first blow struck by Italy In
a war that has already caused much
uneasi,less In the capital.
The fact that the battle occurred yes
terday afternoon makes plain that Italy
had anticipated that the Turkish reply
would not be satisfactory and had ar
ranged that there should be no delay in
beginning 11osti.ities atter the expira-
ton at 2:30 O'Clock OF the twenty-four
hours permitted by the utimatum.
Italy. it is stated, will endeavor to To-
calize hostilities.
