Italo-Turkish Peace Near.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 29, 1912:
Semi-Official Negotiators In Switzerland Reach Agreement.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
    PARIS, Thursday, Aug. 29.— Signor Tittoni, the Italian Ambassador to France, had a long conversation with Premier Poincaré yesterday relative to the Italo-Turkish peace negotiations.
    The Echo de Paris this morning announces, "on the authority of a well-informed diplomatic personage," that peace is imminent. It is stated that the negotiators, who have been meeting in Switzerland, have arrived at an agreement on several delicate problems. Italy will not insist on including an annexation decree in the peace treaty, and Turkey will renounce her claim to suzerainty in Tripoli, Italy in addition paying a large indemnity to Turkey for the Tripoli territory.
    Italy will evacuate the islands that she has occupied in the Aegean Sea.
