ITALY NOW At WAR
WITH The TURKS
DECLARATION or WAR DECLARED
BY ITALIAN GOVERNMENT
AGAINST TURKEY.
The Support Given by Turkey to the
Revolt in Llhya and Prevention Of
Departure Of Italian Residents
Given as the Reason.

London. Italy has declared war
against Turkey and the Italian ambas
sador has left Constantinople
Marquis di Garroni. Italian embas.
sador to Turkey. on Saturday handed
to the porte note declaring Italy
considered herself in a state of war
with Turkey and demanded his pass
ports, according to an official telegram
from Constantinople, received at Am
sterdam and transmitted to the Cen
trail News
The reasons given in the note for
Italy's declaration Of war were the
support given by Turkey to the revolt
in Libya and the prevention of the de.
parture of Italian residents from
Syria
The Italian government. says Stef
FAM dispatch from Rome. has sent to
all it's representatives abroad a circu
lar dispatch setting forth the ques
tions at issue between Italy and Tur
key. The dispatch closes with these
words:
In view of these obvious infrac
tions of categorical promises made by
the Ottoman government and follow
ing upon our ultimatum OF August 3
provoked. by evasions OF the Ottoman
government, particularly with regard
to the free departure Of Italian sub
jects from Asia Minor, the Italian gov
eminent has sent instructions to its
ambassador at Constantinople to de
clare war on Turkey"
Although Italy declared war on Aus
tria on May "a, there has never beer
any declaration of war between Italy
and Turkey, the ally OF the centra
powers, nominally have been at peace
Friction between Turkey and Italy
however. has been In evidence since
shortly after the latter's entry into thC
war. Early In June there we're report,
that Italian consuls were gradually
leaving Turkey and that American of
| ficials were taking over the task q
looking out for Italian interests. Latei
charges were made that the Ottoman
government was preventing these con
suls from leaving, and that similar co
ercion was being exerted over Italian
citizens who wished to quit Turkisl
soil.

WHO WILL PAY WAR EXPENSES
Germany Expects TO Make Her Foes
Pay, Says Financial Writer.

Berlin.-The Overseas News agency
in an item given out for transmission
says:
George Bernhard, one of Germanyts
best known financial writer's, in an edi-
torial in the Vossiche Zeitung, says
the recent statement by DIR. Karl Helf-
ferich, the German minister of finance,
that the enemies Of the central powers
would have to pay the larger part Of
German, Austrian and Turkish war ex-
penses, could be more easily put into
effect than is believed by many pessi-
mists Germany, he points out, holds
wide strips Of valuable land to the
east and to the west. If these lands
are returned to their former owners
they must pay the price fixed by the
victors, the writer declares. II the ter
ritory be retained it would increase
the national wealth and the actual
amount Of tax receipts. The refined
financial technique OF modern times, he
argues, would permit arrangements for
the paying off of such war debts with.

GERMANY WILL BE
ASKED TO EXPLAIN
PRESIDENT coNFERs WITH SEC
RETARY LANSING REGARDING
THE SINKING OF THE ARABIC.
Government Will Proceed With Delhi
Grafton in Fixing Responsibility for
the Loss Of Two American Lives
and JeopardIzIna Of Others.

Washington. Reasonable doubt as
to conditions surrounding the sink
ing Of the White Star liner Arabic
has determined the Washington gov
eminent to proceed with elaboration
in its purpose to fix responsibility for
the loss OF at least two American
lives and the jeopardizing OF a score
of others
Therefore, Germany will be given
an opportunity to explain this last
sea tragedy and, If possible, to show
whether the conditions justified the
German submarine commander in
sinking the liner In apparent disre-
gard of the solemn protest of the
United States government against
the destruction of merchant vessels
bearing American passengers without
proper warning and opportunity for
succor
President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing conferred Saturday on the
Arabic situation with the text Of the
two messages from Ambassador Page
at London before them, giving details
OF the destruction OF the ship as far
as they have been gathered from
American survivors.
The ambassador and consul officials
in England have been instructed to
supplement their reports with all avail
able Information referring to the phys
ical results of the tragedy. The re
ports win be studied carefully, but in
the meantime the German statement
will be sought.
