FRANCE RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE WAR
German Official Figures 1t All Down
to Fine
Point

BERLIN, Oct. 1o.-A prominent
German official in an interview to-
day with The United Press claims
that France was responsible for the
1talian-Turko war
1T was the breaking of the Agleci-
ras treaty by France in sending
troops to Fez that was responsible
for the war" said the official.
ITALY was afraid that France was
about to organize larger colony on
the northern coast of Africa and
therefore she thought it best to seize
Tripoli before France took it. There
fore the Italian troops entered the
city and war was declared.
Germany had absolutely nothing
to do with ii and was not negotiating
with the sultan for Tripoli as has
been reported Any reports to the
contrary have eminated from Paris
and are directly opposed to the Ger
man interests"

BLISS DIED OF
HEART DISEASE
One Of Prominent Figures In Repub-
iican Politics for Great
Many Years.

NEW YORK, Oct. 10-Cornelius
Newton Bliss, for years one of the
prominent figures in national repub-
lican politics and otherwise well
known as merchant and member
OF the dry goods firm of Bliss, Fab
yan & Co. died at his home here last
night of heart disease.
The end was not wholly unexpected
as Mr.. Bliss had been i'll for year.
While death is attributed to heart
failure there has been general
breakdown which comes of old age.
MIR. Bliss was seventy-eight years old,
having been born in Fall River, Mass.
in 1893
The death of MIR Bliss removes
from the political field another of the
coterie of republican leaders who
have been in the forefront of the
partv's affairs for generation or
more.
He was treasurer of the republican
national committee from 1892 to 1908
and previous to that had been chair
man OF the New York state republi
can committee. He twice refused te
become candidate for governor oi
New York, but following the national
campaign of William Mckinley, 1896
in which William Mckinley was elect
ed president, he accepted the posi-
ton as secretary of the interior ir
the Mckinley cabinet He held this
position for two years and then re
signed because of stress of private
business. In business Mr., Bliss ha,
been rated highly successful
merchant, and he had amassed /;
great fortune. He twice refused to &C
cept the nomination of mayor of New
York City.

While the latter seem in no hurry to
