History of the Trouble.

The trouble between Turkey and
Italy which eliminated in declara-
1878 when. with the making of the
treaty concluding the Russo-Turto
War; the powers are understood to have
tration OF Tripoli." Turkey claims
that this right has been respected ever
since. Italy has colonized Tripoli
until her interests in that African
province are very, great. She has as
serted, however, that her subjects have
been mistreated by the ottoman au-
thorities and constantly Disseminated
but the prolonged negotiations have
never resulted satisfactorily to Italy.
AT the time that the Franco German
differences regarding Morocco were
acute. Italy turned her attention again
to Tripoli. and in subsequent negotia-
tons with Constantinople set forth
that many outrages against her sub
jects had been perpetrated. and for
which no redress had been made. She
assumed a decisive attitude, and pres
entity began the mobilization of her
army and navy.
ltaly's standing army in 1910-l9l1
numbered approximately 22J00t men
and $4,000 officers. but a far greater
number could be put in the field IN
case of necessity.
The Italian navy consists OF the fol-
lowing vessels commissioned. built or

mored cruisers. seventeen unarmored
cruisers ana gun vessels, tn1rtV-SlS de-
stroyers, an equal number OF first class
