ITALY AND TURKEY
IN AN OPEN BREAK
Porte Unwilling to Comply With
QuiTinaps Demands.

London, Jan. 9.-The likelihood Of
an open break between Italy and Tnr-
key, In view of the apparent unwil-
lingness of the Ottoman government
to comply fully with the Quirinal's S
demands for reparation for the Ho-
deida incident, is regarded here as
one Of the most important features of
the war situation. Turkey must, ac-
cording to the Italian ultimatum,
apologize for the arrest of the British
consul in the Italian consulate at Ho-
deida and must also salute the Italian
flag.
The exact time of expiration of the
ultimatum is not known here, but it
is presumed to be midnight ON jan
10. Dispatches from various sources
say that Turkey is willing to make
formal apology for the incident, but
will not give in on the question of a
salute. In Rome 1t is reported that
the Italian ambassador in CONSTANT.
nople has received secret orders tn
leave the Turkish capital with his
STAFF and to turn over the affairs of
his office. to Henry Morgenthau, am
bassador for the United States. IL
this be true, the affair has gone much
further than official statements by
either of the governments involved
Rave indicated.
There Is little doubt but that Italy,
4. Turkey will not accede fully to her
stipulations, will at once proceed to
take forcible action, although the d.
roction of such action is not indicat-
a. Diplomats here say that a rup-
ture Of relations between Rome and
Constantinople is almost certain and

WHY THE eLUEs2
(BOston GlObe)


Every one loves the blue sky, with
it's brightness, warmth and softness.
Hundreds have written of it in glow
ing terms of praise, while the inarticu-
late millions have felt what they ex-
pressed. Who does not love pair of
blue eyes? Laughing blue eyes, true
blue eyes, tender blue eyes, Irish blue
eyes. The men who follow the sea
love her every mood and hue, and yet
'tis her sparkling sapphire cloak they
would have her don on the happiest oc-
casions. 1T is impossible, in our con-
dition of society, not to be sometimes
a snob," wrote Thackeray-no to have
a heart that would relish pumping a
little blue blood along with the red.
But when our thoughts are dull, de-
pressed and drear like an unkind win
try gray sky, we are in the blues. Why
this paradoxical defamation of the col
or which is associated with so many
of the fair and pleasing things of life
If we must vilify color, there are yell
low, canaries and jaundice, there are
red, devils and danger. Why the
blues?
