APPEAL TO UNITED STATES. Former Ambassador to Turkey Asks
 Government to intervene.

Washington. Sept. 9.-The declara ton of war by Italy against Turkey With practically no notice caused great sensation in ofncfal Washing ton. The state department had felt reasonably confident that the other signatories to the Berlin treaty which fixed the status of Turkey. would be able to bring pressure to bear upon Italy to divert her from her purpose fo seize Tripoii The only conclusion that could be drawn from tee events CT the past A hours was that what has happened is only a natural se- auence of the Franco-Germa n NJ Morocco negotiations and that 1t has been un- derstood tacity all along that Italy ~oasd be given free hand to deal with Tripoli in return for refraininE from intervention in the Moroccan dis ;ute. though her interests in the eoun- try of the Moors are quite as impor- tsrt as those of any of the nations of northern Europe.
 Urfssd States Has No Interest There.
 Indications are that the United States will keep clear of the present struggle for domination in Africa if that is possible. It is distinctly as serted at the ststee de partment that thte country has absolutely no political interest in that part of the world. It fs added, however, that in view of the h'xf1v advanced position the United otstes has taken in advocacy of the reacsful settlement of international disputes. this government can look only with regret upon this resort to var
 Appeal for Intervention.
 Late today the state department re- -ived an appeal from Oscar Straus formerly American ambassador to Fur key. to intervene between Italy and Turkey Mir. Straus' application was based upon Article fff of The Hague convention, of which both Italy and Turkey were signstories.
 Extreme Caution Necessary. - No oficisl statement could be ob tsined from the state department as fe what disposition would be made of Nr. straus' suggestion. Extreme caution must characterize any attempt at mediation, for heretofore in case of threatened hostilities the state de- Tartmsnt has awaited some irtimation from one or both principals to the dis 7ute that its good offices would be welcome. The only exception to this precedent was in the instance of Peru and Ecuador. when this country sue eessfuily intervened to prevent war
 I've Naval Vessels There.
 The naysl representa- ton of the Tinted States in African waters during the pressnt trouble will he limited to the scout cruiser Chester and the gun boat Scorpion The Chester was to have proceeded to C'yr-ne on the coast of Tripo'i to protect the AmeIi- can archaeological party. but it is thought at the navy department that the scientists will be obliged to sus pend operations. unless the Italiansscan make landing in force al Cyrene. In any case. the Chester will probably be len free to look after the protection of any American interests in Tripoli. and her ccnAmander will act with American Consul Wood
