The last burst of disorder occurred
early in the day, when , men in sym
pathy with the 900 strikers, tried to
blow up the barrel factory at the
Tidewater plant but were foiled by the

r. T.. Pattison Kline ascrihed four
reasons why the American public to-

~ is not the newspapers that are
at fault in making the Americans an

Placed in Hands of One
Man.

ROME. July 23.-The question OF
peace or war between Italy and Tur-
KEY now rests in the hands of Baron
Sonnino. the Italian foreign minister.
Following a cabinet council that

try gave the foreign minister full
power to take any steps necessary to
secure satisfaction from Turkey for
the illegal use of the Italian flag.
Italy and Turkey are nearer dip
lOmatic break than at any time since
the war began as a result of the seiZ-
ure of an Italian steamer, the mis-
use of the Italian flag and the failure
of the Ottoman government to answer
the protests of the Italian ambassador
at ConstantinOple.
The latest incident affecting the
Turco- Italian relations was fully dis
cussed bv the cabinet According to
a report from the Italian ambassador
at ConstantinOple. the Turks after
Selling the Italian steamer MOndelio

Marmora. keeping the italian flag fly
ing to insure immunity from the An

flag. but no attention was paid to the

News from Asia Minor relative to
the persecution of Christians by the
Turks and advices from Cairo an

German foreign office today, il was
expected in administration circles that
Pres't Wilson now would turn his at

the United States would await reports

fore taking any definite steps in the

speak the last word, so far as this

in diplomatic correspondence that the
rights of American neutrals are to be
