ed into comparison Of the enforce
ment of the Sherman antitrust law
during the Roosevelt administration
and that of President Taft, and de-
clared that when the history of that
act is written the highest praise cam

sion In the last two years than in the
administration of his predecessor. it
was because the machinery of the

New York. Sept. 2s.-The first evi-
dence that sugar and coffee prices
may have reached their apex came
late yesterday when it was announced
that the Arbuckle had reduced their
hgure on granulated from 7.50 cents
per pound to 6.75 cents which is the
price that has been quoted by the

THE DECLARATION FOLLOWS
TURKEY 5 sgE9ILY TO-DAY
italian Fleets Are Ready Protect Her Coasts Against
Turkish Privateers-Tripoli May Be Occupied as
Result of Decision Made Today
Rome, Sept 29-Italy has declared war on Turkey
This action followed the receipt at Rome of the reply of
the Turkish government to Italy's ultimatum

Rome. Sept. 29.-Italy has declared
war on Turkey. The official announce
ment was made this afternoon. It
was declared that the two countries
were in state of war beginning at
$3.50 o'clock on the afternoon Of Fri
day. September 20.
This is the hour at which the Ital.
ian ultimatum to Turkey expired and
followed session Of the cabinet at
which the Turkish reply was consid-
cred and found unsatisfactory.
Though every indication pointed to
this action by the royal government.
there was always possibility that good
onces Of other governments would be
successful in avoiding hostilities and
when the final decision Of the cabinet
throughout the city was intense.
Throughout the earlier hours of the
day the papers had issued special ed
ditions announcing that the Italian
fleet was moving in plain sight off the
coast Of Tripoli and intimating that
war might be declared at any mo-
ment.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Signor
di San Giuliano received the Turkish
reply from the Turkish ambassador
into conference with his associates in
the ministry.
It is understood the Ottoman gov
ernment completely conceded Italy's
economic claims in Tripoli but evaded
the direct answer demanded by this
government which it had set forth in
its ultimatum that Turkey must say
that she would not resist the proposed
occupation Of Tripoli and Cyrene. In
stead the Port sent a conciliatory note
suggesting further delay.
It was known that Turkey has
transmitted note to the powers in
which 1t is assumed that she repre-
sented herself as the injured party
and by inference at least, sought
their Intervention. ~
The royol government decided to
stand absolutely by their uitimatum
OF yesterday and in the absence Of the
reply called for, to declare Italy and
Turkey in a state Of war from the
hour that the ultimatum Of twenty
four hours expired.
Malta. Sept. 29.-It is believed here
that Italians have landed at Tripoli.
