Expect Peace In The East.

New York Times 100 years ago today, September 29, 1912:
Arrival of Rechid Pasha In Switzerland Promises Results.
By Marconi Transatlantic Wireless Telegraph to The New York Times.
    GENEVA, Sept. 28.— After many weeks of unofficial pourparlers between the Italians and Turkish delegates at Caux, Evian-les-Bairs, and Lausanne, peace now seems to be in sight. At any rate, with the arrival of Rechid Pasha at Ouchy the negotiations have assumed a more official character, and definite results are expected in the near future. It is doubtful, however, whether the Turkish Government will definitely agree to or accept the Italian terms of peace before the 15th of October, or until after the Turkish elections.
    During the entire conversations the Turkish delegates have been asking for time to refer matters to headquarters, whereas the Italians want to hasten the negotiations.
    As Signor Bertolini himself informed The New York Times correspondent, there is only one great obstacle, the sovereignty of Libya, to which both the Italian and Turkish Governments hold tenaciously. The former, after its public declaration to Europe soon after the beginning of the war, cannot back out without losing prestige.
    During the last twenty-four hours telegrams from Rome, Vienna, where the Turkish Crown Prince has been staying, and from Constantinople have been pouring into Ouchy.
