WHY DID ITALY
WITH TURKEY
She Seems to Have No Legal
or Moral Right to ForCi-
bile Acquisition.

ITALY'S declaration of war against
Turkey seems to be popularity
Il regarded as predication Of GER
tain success. The general i'm
preston seems to be that Italy can
snatch Tripoli without difficulty and
that the terrible Turk" is to be
spanked once more.
Italy has the great advantage of an
efficient navy, whereas Turkey has
only a few old tubs and almost no
merchant marine for transport serv-
fee. This makes 1t easy for the Ital-
Ians to capture Tripoli and other sea-
ports, none of which is adequately de-
Tended. However, if the Italians con-
quer the seacoast their work will be
just begun. A preliminary success on
the coast is no real indication of what
an invading army can do on the track

central Africa that have been followed
since time began.
Three Caravan Routes.
By way of Fezzan and Bilma the
! first one streaks its narrow path from
Lake Tchad to Tripoli; the second. also
with its terminus in Tripoli on the
seacoast over against Sicily, follows
a northerly direction from the tabled
city Of Timbuktu through the great
cases of Ghadames and Chat; the third
runs north by west in the general
direction of the Nile, crossing the
vague frontiers of Egypt, into the
Sudan and traversing Sokna. Its other
terminus is IN the GASES of Wadai and
Darfur.
Along these highways has trickled
the slight stream of traffic in African
products which has been the mainstay
of Tripoli proper. Apparently the
Italians are calculating that along
these lines or others parallel with
them will flow the greatly distended
stream of traffic resulting from the ex-
ploitations of central Africa by the
European powers which have posses
siOns there. In that case they must

them of profit in the way of trans
portation or merchandise either by
caravan or by a railroad to be built
later.
This is the only real reason why It
aly can want Tripoli. according to the
cabled reports from interested Euro
pean capitals
A Question.
There is question whether Italy
has any legal right TO fOrcib,e acquisi-
ton of territory from a power which
has been at peace with her for several
generations. There is some mention
of Ill treatment of Italian subjects and
OF attempts to thwart Italian trade
and industrial development. The an
swer to the last of these charges is
found in the statistics. which show
that Italians control one-half Of Trip
oils export and import trade. As for
the other charge, while it is always
difficult to defend the Turk. it is new
ertheless doubtful If he has been
guilty of anything in this particular
instance which could not be amended
by arbitration.
At any rate, Turkey is power OF
recognized standing in the world,
power which has been Ostensibly en-
deavoring to improve itself in a hu-
manitarian and enlightened political
way for several years past, and Italy
has absolutely no moral right 10 de-

less. waterless deserts beyond offer
ing, as they do. countless opportuni-
ties for ambuscade and foray.
Tripoli belongs to Turkey, and she
will fight for it to the limit of her
ability The Turks are as brave fight
ers as any In Europe, and they will
fight as long as they have cartridges
to put in their rifles.
May Be Long Drawn Out.
The present war, then, must be
long drawn out affair unless media
ton intervenes. And here the question
arises as TO whether it is worth Italy's
while, for expenditure of men and
money must be out of all proportion
to the stake.
Tripoli is a country that has never
figured largely in the annals of modern
times. The larger portion of its area
belongs to the wastes of the Libyan
and Sahara deserts. The population
Of this land of barren mountains and
almost bOundless sandy wastes num-
bers possibly 100000. Outside of the
capital, Tripoli, and one or two of the
other larger towns the country is prac-
tically as uncivilized as it ever was.
Tripoli is essentially an agricultural,
pastoral land, and the products of farm
and orchard have never amounted to
much There are no manufactures, eX-
cept a small trade in carpets and silks
and cordovan leather.
Behind the coasts of the province of
Tripoli proper mountain ranges mark
the beginning of the broad wastes that
stretch back to the tropic of Cancer,
with their only breaks the occasional
clumpS of palm trees and water holes
of the GASES. There are thousands of
square miles of desert. waterlesS. al
most barren Of vegetation and unin-
habitated. hostile to man.
What Is Italy's Object?
What does Italy want with a land
like this? Why does she go to war
when the stake is 100000 miles of
mostly barren soil, a few more than
million hostile. unruly men of a diff
ferent race and different religion
and Il trade that has not exceeded So
100000 a year, reckoning both imports
and exports?
The revenues Of the Turkish govern
ment from this province have never
amounted to a sum sufficient TO repay
the expenses of administration. The
sum Of 100000 a year out of the reve-
nue. of considerably less than $4,000
has been expended on the military gar
riSon.
Perhaps Italy hopes to reclaim the
desert lands and colonize it with her
own hardworking peasants, and per-
haps her ministry of agriculture has
plans for enormous irrigation works.
But this would not make the colony a
paying proposition. if consular reports
may be credited. The reports plainly
show that Tripoh can never be land
of boundless plenty.
What Italy probably is after, in the
opinion of foreign observers who have
