Unsatisfactory Answer from Turkey
Regarding Ultimatum Demands
Followed by Severance Of Rela-
tions-Italians Are Eager for
Strife with the ottoman Empire.

ROME, Aug. 23.-Italy's declara-
tion Of war against Turkey was off
oially announced mere Saturday night
It was later officially announced
no reply having been made to Italy's
ultimatum, the Italian ambassador at
ConstantinOple has been instructed to
p esent a declaration Of war to the
sultan Of Turkey.
The declaration came a the end Of
short cabinet session which was
convened Immediately upon receipt Of
the Turkish reply to the Italian ulti-
matum. The Italian demands were
that reservists Of the kings army be
permitted to leave Turkey without re-
striction.
The reply Of the porte was unsat-
isfactory as had been expected and
It was only left for the cabinet to
proceed formally to the declaration.
The meetin was held amid scenes
Of great excitement the populace APP
parntly being eager for strife with
the Turks.

all he said. THE English ministers
were prodigal of magnificent phras-
es," he writes, "but their workshops
were idle"
l asked an Englishman why Eng
land still held only her 30-mile front
why Kitchener's promise of more and
more and still more soldiers has not
been made good. His reply, in effect,
was that Kitchener himself has made
good his promise. He has raised the
soldiers.
There are three million soldiers or
thereabouts in England. he said.
But they are equipped with WOOD
EN- GUNs!"
So admitted my English friend.
There are men aplenty," he went
on, but they lack the necessary
equipment. They have uniforms, or
most of them have, but many lack
belts, knapsacks and the like. And
of the thousands and thousands Of
recruits one sees drilling around Lon
don daily very few have rifles They
are using the sticks used before the
war in Ulster with other limitations
made since"
The French whole-heartedly admit
England was the broom which was
largely instrumental in sweeping Ger
man ships and German commerce
from the seas.
But French ships have not been
idle either" they declare. 1--WE have
kept the Austrian fleet cooped up all
winter and we have done all we could
with the fleet in other directions. All
we ask: Has England, like our
selves, done ALL she is able to do
No doubt France and England will
stand together without faltering right
on through to the end but now there
is no doubt about II; more than at
any time since hostilities commenced,
France is inclined to ask Finland to
get move on. to quit squabbling at
home and get Into the fight. For ev-
cry hour the war is prolonged means
many lives snapped off.
Not the least part of the resent
ment in France is caused by British
insularity In Finland, as Georges
Clemenceau, the former price minis
ter. writes. After all Calais Is only
Calaisl" Calais Is in France, a for
Elm country The measures taken
around London are an admission that
Calais and Boulougne may fall into
German hands. The French feel that
IL England does her duty the thing
won't happen
So the French not only think, but
speak.
II is also possible TO enjoy a fair
amount Of personal liberty without
getting soused.
