many in February last was an ex.
eelIent note If it had been lived up

represented nothing but weakness
and timidity on our side; and the

today. while those of Walsh. OConnell
and Lennon are expected to be given
out at a later date.
The commission conducted hearings

ed with the employers: 245 with labor
and 265 were not affiliated with either
group.
field agents and investigators OF the
commission.
There was a difference Of opinion in
the commission as to the value OF the
work Of the field agents. The Manly
report accepts the reports Of these in
,vestigators as impartial and the Man
.ly summary explains that where in
,terests are affected, statements of
facts are based entirely on the tes-
timony Of those witnesses whose in
terests might be regarded as adversely
affected"
The Commons summary says on this
subject:
In giving reasons for disregarding
the reports Of Investigators for the
commission, the report says that its
signers do not consider that the inves
LEGATIONS were complete as they were
not submitted to all parties at inter-
est to be checked up as to facts"
The Weinstock summary says con-
corning the work of the field agents:

unfair that we cannot give them our
endorsement"
In addition to the three main re-
ports and the individual opinions and
suggestions, the commission, accord
ing to announcement by Mr.. West, will
make public on Aug. 81 a report on
the Colorado strike, and a few days
later a report on the situation Of the
structural iron workers.

ITALY DECLARES WAR
AGAINST TURKEY AND The
ITALIAN AMBASSADOR lEAyI]

London Aug. 22.-Itaiy has declared
war against Turkey and the italian am
bassador has left Constantinople. This
announcement Is made in a Reuter- tel
and Amsterdam.
Marquis Di Garroni, Italian ambassa-
dor to Turkey, today handed to the Porte
note declaring Italy considered herself
in a state of war with Turkey and de-
manded his passports. according to an
Official telegram from Constantinople re-
ceived at Amsterdam and transmitted to
the Central News. The reason given in
the note for Italy's declaration of war
was the support given by Turkey to the
revolt in Libya and the prevention of the
departure Of Italian residents from Syria.
Although Italy declared war on Aus
tria on May "a and hostilities between
the two powers began Immediately. there
has never been any declaration Of war
between Italy and Germany, the ally OF
Austria, while until now Italy and Tur-
key, the ally of the central powers, NOM
inally have been at peace.
Friction in Evidence
Friction between Turkey and Italy,
however, has been in evidence since soon
after the latter's entry into the war.
Early in June there were reports that
Italian consuls were slowly leaving Tur-
key and that American officials were
taking over the task OF looking out for
Italian interests. Later charges were
made that the Ottoman government was
preventing these consuls from leaving
and that similar coercion was being ex-
erted over Italian civilians who wished
to quiet Turkish soil.
On July 20 advices came from Rome
that the Italian government had address,
ed a note to the United States asking 1t
to use its influence to protect Italian
subjects in the Ottoman domains. The
complaint that they were being prevented
from leaving was reiterated.
Two days later the Italian cabinet
met for the supposed purpose Of dis
cussing the situation as res e.-led Tur-
key and almost coincidently the Ital.
ian government began to gather evil
dence intended to show that Turkey
had violated the treaty Of Lausanne,
an undertaking according to the terms
of which she pledged herself to with
draw all Turkish troops and officers
from the Cyrenaica district in Tripoli
and help to bring about the submits
