MENACE WORLD PEACE

OONOAANI1NOIL special
MGhmoud SchefI1et Pasha, Turk
ish Minister of War, and a num-
Der of other ministers, called
upon Sultan Mehmed Rechad at
the Yildiz Kiosk today TO map
out a definite plan OF campaign of
resistance to Italy's encrOach-
ment on Turkish territory. It was
decided to concentrate forces In
Albania and IL this Is carried out
IL will result i'm the war being
fought out TO the conclusion i'm
the Balkans and, foreign diplO-
mats declare, Will menace the
peace of all Europe.
Turkey, while realizing that her
plight Is desperate. has not yet
abandoned all hope, although the
steps planned for the future are
I'm the nature OF grasping at
straws. The Turkish ministry is
playing its trump card, inciden-
tally fits last.
TO PRESENT ITS CASE
An invitation to ali the foreign
diplomats in ConstantinopIe 10
attend conference at the YiIdiz
Kiosk, when Turkey Will again
present her entire case before
them and make a hnal plea for in
terVentiOn, was discussed at to-
days council.
Every influence at the COM
mand OF the Ottoman government
is being brought TO bear. Turkey
plans at the general conference
TO present her case against Italy
in its entirety and appeal to the
justice of the powers to intercede.
Failing in this she feels that she
will have presented her case 10
the world and will have justified
any gains she may use to pre-
serve her national integrity.
NEW BLOOD IN CONTROL
The new Turkish ministry,
headed by Said Pasha, officially
took hold of the reins of govern
ment today. New blood was in
jected into the Cabinet and be-
fore it had been in power twenty
four hours it was making its in
fiuence felt in all quarters.
The government has command
ed all telegraph wires for the
sending of military dispatches and
strict censorship has been es-
tablished over dispatches TO for
eign news bureaus.
Appeals are being made to the
savage and Scmi-SaVage tribes in
habiting portions of Turkeys do
main to fight under the Turkish
coIOrS. All the armaments of the
nation are being OVerhauied. Tur-
key has only tWcnty-SiX ships or
war against the powerful fleet
of 175 vessels making up the
Italian navy.
MILLIONS OF MEN
Italy has seven modern battle
ships. Turkey can eventually
muster 100000 soldiers against
ItaIy's minimum quota of 1.120,-
900, but hundreds of thousands
of troops would have to remain
idle i'm the interior for the lack of
getting 10 the seat of war. Hakd
Bey, the dcpOSed Grand Nizicr,
today placed his fortune and his
personal service at the disposal OF
his government. This action was
considered strange i'm view of the
fiery SpcCI hes which had been di-
rcCted against him at the last
Cabinet meeting. when the Young
Turks accused him of treason for
faVOring peace with Italy.
The last meeting Of the old
Cabinet was followed by a meet
ing of the new Cabinet. which
lasted until early today. Dra-
matte scenes marked both SeS-
SiOnS. Passionate uttcranceS
against Italy ana in favor of war
showed the temper OF the Young
Turk statesmen.
In the midst of the tall one
Young Turk leaped to his feet
shouting:
II rcsOIutely oppose the propo-
sitiOn that dur country shall be
sold. Let us fight"
