Opening Gun May be Fired Within Twenty-Four Hours.
Paris, Sept. 25. With Italy mobilizing an army of 112,000 men to back up her African demands and with Turkey rushing reinforcements into Tripoli to strengthen Turkish garrisons and threatening to expel the 50,000 Italian residents of Tripoli at the point of the bayonet at the first open move on the part of Italy, it is believed today in the continental capital that war between the two powers is inevitable and that the opening gun in the contest is likely to be fired within 24 hours. Never in a decade has the menacing cloud of threatened hostilities between two great nations hung so dangerously near to Southern Europe. Taking advantage of the Franco-German dispute over Morocco, which engaged the attention of the other great European powers, the Italian government has cleverly pushed its claims to the point of war, its aggressiveness being overshadowed in international interest owing to the Moroccan imbroglio.
The public mind of both countries has been inflamed by sensational reports during the past 24 hours.
