Although Italy declared war on
Austria May "a. there never has been
any declaration of war between Italy
and Germany nor. until now, between
Italy ana Turkey.
Friction between Turkey and Italy,
however, has been in evidence since
shortly after the latter's entry into
the war. Early i'm Juno there were re-
ports that Italian consuls gradually
were leaving Turkey. Later chargcs
were made that the Ottoman govern
ment was preventing consuls from
leaving and tllat similar coercion was
being exertei over Italian civilians
who wished to quit Turkish soil.
ON July 80 advices said Italy had
addressed note To the United States
asking IL To use its inuence to pro-
tect Italian subjects in Turkey. The
complaint that they were being
prevented from leaving was reiterated.
On August 3 the Italian ambassa-
dor at Constantinople made another
protest TO Turkey relative to the at
titude of Ottoman authorities towards
Italian subjects. 1t was stated Ital-
ian consuls sill were being detained
i'm Turkey. AT that time tension be-
tween Italy and Turkey was becom-
ing more acute daily.
IL was announced on August that
Italy had asked for categorical expla-
nations concerning Turkeys al
legged refusal to withdraw her troops
from the Cyrenica district in Tripoli
and IL was charged Turkey was pur-
suing what was described as her
usual policy of procrastination.
In official circles in Rome the feel
ing was that Italy's last note TO Tur-
Key was almost an ultimatum. 1t
was then reported that a declaration
OF war by Italy would be simultane-
Gus with the sending of about $50, 900
men to aid Franco British troops on
the Gallipoli peninsula.
1t was announced on August 10
that IA strong squadron of Italian
cruisers was in readiness to sail from
laramie. Italy at moments notice.
IL was stated the warships probably
would be sent against Turkey if the
latter declined to satisfy Italy's de-
mands for release of Italian subjects
held In the Ottoman empire.
AT meeting of the Italian cabi-
net Friday Baron Sonnino, the for
cign minister. presented an exhaust
i've report on the Turkish situation.
He declared Turkish provocations
had become intolerable. The cabinet
session was kept secret but later il
was learned the Italian minister at
COnstantinoplc had been instructed
To hand To the porte a note asking for
la Formal categOric statement as to
departure of Italians from Turkish
possessions. Ii was unonlcially stated
that the note was i'm the nature of an
ultmatum and that "a reply was ex-

MAKING A NEW WALNUT.

Demand For These Nuts 10 Growing
Faster Than the supply.
The demand for walnuts is growing
much faster than the supply, writes J..

We do not produce In America more
than 20 per cent of what we consume,
and It will take Hfty to a hundred
years. with oil the encouragement Of
the nut experts. to raise enough wal
nuts to supply the home demand.
For this reason efforts should be
made to improve the common black
walnut. Nearly all the walnuts cross
fertilize readily. The pollen Of the
Franquette, Mayettc, Meylan. Wilson
and many other valuable varieties may
readily be introduced artiHcially into
