New York Times 100 years ago today, October 17, 1912:
Autonomy of Tripoli to be Proclaimed — Then Italy Will Step In.
OUCHY, Switzerland, Oct. 10.— The peace treaty between Italy and Turkey provides that the Sultan shall issue a decree proclaiming the autonomy of the Tripolitan Province of Libya and that after this has been done the Italian Government shall issue a decree establishing in Libya a system of government based on Italian sovereignty.
The Turkish Government is to grant amnesty to the populations of the islands in the Aegean Sea who rebelled against Turkish rule in the course of the war.
It is understood that the sum which Italy will pay on account of the Ottoman debt for Libya will be $400,000 yearly.
