Hope To See Our Ships.

New York Times 100 years ago today, September 29, 1912:
Italians Would Like a Visit from American War Vessels.
By Marconi Transatlantic Wireless Telegraph to The New York Times.
    ROME, Sept. 28.— The hope is entertained here that the American squadron, which was to visit the Mediterranean and the Italian coast in the Autumn of 1911, when special festivities were prepared, including a visit to the exhibitions at Rome and Turin, will come next year.
    At the time, it was said that the visit of the squadron had to be postponed on account of the cholera epidemic which then afflicted Italy, and this year the squadron did not come owing to the war with Turkey.
