London, Oct 1.-Out Of a perfect
maze Of conflicting reports and ru-
mors 1t Ia utterly impossible at the
present stage to sift the grains of
truth concerning the opening days Of
the Turco-Italian war. 1t appears
even doubtful whether there has been
any actual occupation Of Tripon, and
1t is practically certain that there has
been no bombardment by the Italian
warships.
1t seems also certain that the re-
ported destruction Of the Turkish
fleet Is untrue. In fact, the only re-
suit Of the first three days hostili-
ties which can be vouched for is the
