TURC01TAL|AN TRUCE
EXPECTED BY POWERS
EngIand's Hand Prominent in
Movement to Effect an
ArmiStiCe.
Snecial cs,,leeram RI The Star

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, January 6.-Announcement
of an armistice in the Turco-Italian war
is expected to be made next week 1t
was learned here today from a source
close to the foreign Office that Great Brit
ain has played a prominent part in the
movement of the powers to bring about
a truce as the preliminary step to the
negotiation of peace between Turkey and
Italy.
1t is even reported that the rough draft
of a treaty of peace already has been
drawn to be used as the basis of future
instrument, if the general terms are
found to be satisfactory. The chief items
include the payment of indemnity said to
be above $1O.OOO.O0O by Italy to Turkey
in compensation for the seizure of
TripoIi. Turkey Is to draw all OF her
troops out of Tripoli and Italy is to
withdraw her fleet from the Red sea and
other fore gn waters.
Will Not End ALI Fighting.
However, all interested parties recog-
nize the fact that a peace treaty be-
tween Turkey and Italy will not end
fighting In Tripoi. Hostile Arabs will
continue to pafaSS the ltaildn lisaueiS III
their holy war; for long time to
come.
Nevertheless without the Turkish re-
sources for ammunitions and arms the
natives will be crippled in the campaign
against the Italians. Hitherto they have
had the moral support of their Turkish
allies in battle.
Ii will not be necessary for the treaty
to give Italy authority to mainta n a
strong police force of armed soldiers in
TripoH, for by the evacuation of the
Turkish soldiers the country automatical-
ly comes under Italian domination and
rule.
turkeys national treasury is being
drained and the extra taxes imposed to
carry on the war are caus ng much dis
satisfact on throughout the Ottoman EN-
pire The Young Turks party has become
generally alarmed.
