PEACE TALK IN EUROPE
Neither Italy Nor Turkey Replies
Favorably to Suggestions.

Rome, Jan 26.-In reply to suggestions
thrown out from various embassies with
view TO the cessation OF Turco-Italian
hostlties, the Porte answers that the
powers, If they are desirous of peace,
should induce Italy TO make concessions,
as Turkey cannot accept the spoiation
she has suffered without any form Of re-
dress.
Rome, on the other hand responds to
the hints Of the foreign chancelleries that
the only remedy for the present situation
IS for the powers to put pressure on the
Porte.
The representatives of the powers de-
clare that II pressure were brought TO bear
on the Porte through the ambassadors at
Constantinople and the Porte should re-
si9t. as everything appears to indicate
would be the case, either the powers
would have to withdraw and suffer hu-
rplation or have recourse 10 coercion.
This would mean making a collective
naval demonstration in Turkish waters
which would end in landing In Constan-
tinople and would start the general Euro
pean conhagration which all are most de-
sirous of avoiding.
Giovanni Giolitu, the Italian Premier,
still hopes that Italy will be able to force
turkey to ask for peace. For this reason
the convocation of Parliament, instead of
occurring at the end OF January, has been
postponed until February. 1t is even be-
heved that II may be delayed until
