of 'ottun Manufacturers bow he and

tariff on yarns ana staple cotton
goods.
"fo far as thrg are concerned, we
are confident that our results are ac
curate and furnish a thoroughly sound
basis of comparison," ho declared.
"Our first problen. was to eitaHlnh
certain general principles of cost ac

adopt these general principles In de

Industry. This was done first for
chemicals, then for pulp and paper,

Italy and Turkey and hot!!ltle
have begun.
No sooner (id the time limit fixed

noring TutVcy's conciliatory r-n-
ror a period of delay,; Italy declare!
war. The Turkish rcprejo v..
Italy were handed, their passports.
The Turkish commander at Tripoli
was asked to surrender the town but
declined and the Kalian forces Im
mediately occupied Tripoli and Ben
ghazi. Apparently the Turks offered nj
resistance hut this ' only an assump
tion, as Immediately on Undine the
Italians evidently seized tho tole
grgph lines. From the hour of their
landing no messirgo of any kind has
been rceolved from Tripoli and dis
patches sent to that place remain un
answered. It should bi noted, however, t'lat a
Constantinople dispatch announcing
Italian oecupa'lon of Tripoli makes
no mention of resistance and a mere
protest, by the governor would be In
line with the Turkish announced pol
icy.
Tho Turkish cabinet . which hail
been for some time been Insecure, re
signed as soon as was was declared
and a new ministry was formed under
Said Pnshn, b:it retaining the former
able war minister, Mahmoud Shefket
Pasha.

Turkey continues her effort to se

the meantime Italy - actively pur

cruiser landed troops at Prevosa, af

destroyer, and the Italian- fleet lioai
blockaded tho whole Trlpolltan coast.
There are unconfirmed reports that j
Turkey Intends to send an ultimatum ;
