Rome, June 2s.-Diplomatic relations
between Italy and Turkey nave now

ambassador to Rome, demanded bis
passports Saturday and has left for
Constantinople.
1t is considered possible that news
paper statements declaring that Italy
would soon join the allies in their at.
tacks on the Dardanelles and reports
that ships had already been sent there,
caused the departure of the ambassador
The same situation now exists between
Turkey and Italy as between Germany

been severed in bota cases, but there
has yet been do declaration of war
A new powerful bomb has been con.
tributed to Italy 5 fighting forces by a
socialist and member of the group
which opposed war until it was seen a
conflict was inevitable.
The inventor is the socialist Deputy
Battelli, a professor of chemistry at
Pisa. The bomb is a high powered in
cendiary projectile which may reyolu.
tionize aerial warfare, according TO dis.
patches received here today. Experi
ments made from an aeropiane have
demonstrated the terrible effects of ex.
plosions from the new weapon.
