Turkey Appeals to Powers
to Help Avert BIoodshed

CONSTANTINOPLE, September Bottle
Turkish government today addressed an
other appeal to the powers, expressing
panied surprise at Italys action in de-
claring war yesterday, and saying thai
there is still time to prevent the disas'
trous and evil effects of a war, which
nothing in the attitude of the Turkish
empire justifies.
The porte appeals to the peaceful, hu.
manitarian and friendly sentiments OF
the powers to assist in convincing Italy
of the conciliatory intentions of Turkey,
and so prevent the useless shedding OF
blood and grief to thousands of families
The government has asked the United
States to take charge of the interests OF
Ottoman subjects in Italy.
Germany Protects Italians.
The German ambassador to Turkey,
Baron Marshall Won Biebersten. notified
the porte this morning that Germany
had assumed the protection of Italian
subjects and interests in Turkey. The
Italians in Turkey number $1,000.
1t was reported early today that an
Italian warship had gone ashore near
Tripoli.
Later accounts state that the crew of
the Turkish torpedo boat destroyer which
was sunk i'm the harbOr of Prevesa, in
Eprus by an Italian cruiser yesterday
escaped.
The war Office announces measures to
make the rule of martial law more severe
because of the public excitement
Public meetings and alarmist publica-
tions are prohibited, and any movement
calculated to endanger public order will
be Immediately suppressed by force or
arms.
Sufficient troops have been stationed in
convenient places to meet emergencies
The committee of union and progress
published the following proclamation:
Appeal to Patriotism.
Italy at length has unmasked her hos
tile designs on Tripoli The Italian
charge has handed note to the porte
announcing the occupation of Tripoli
province yesterday. The Ottoman nation
prefers honor to life and Indignantly re-
pels the Italian audacity.
There will be war between the two
countries, and our nation will employ
every means against the enemy. Tripoli
will courageously defend itself. The OF
toman government will expel all Italians
from Turkey, and Italian schools and
business houses will be closed.
Our committee will employ all its in
fiuence to cause these measures to be ap-
piled in a calm spirit toward the nation
which has trodden under foot our most
sacred rights. We beg the population to
remain tranquil and leave to the govern
ment the duty of acting against the Ital-
ians. thus demonstrating that Ottomans
are more civilized and equitable than
Italians who drove their government to
the present action.
I'VE invite all children of the father
land to be united at this critical mo-
nent.'
of unmeasured violence against the Ital-
ians, while the Ottoman people are adj
vised to show their patriotism by the
strictest boycott of Italian products and
at the same time to treat the Italians in
Turkey guests
The government has decided to
strengthen its military forces on the
Greek and Montenegrin frontiers
