fruitless, and the government is now
turning to Great Britain in quest of
modus vivendi satisfactory to Turkeys

progress approves the new cabinet,
but if negotiations with the British
government fail an the ministry dis
plays any signs of yielding to Italy,
the committee will overturn the cab
met and the chamber.
Another special dispatch from Sa-
loniki says the anti-Italian feeling is
increasing. Thousands of Italians
have been boycotted, and the wealthy
people of that nationality are depart
ing. The message says in the north OF
Albania that Italian warships have
seized two Turkish coasting vessels il
