Treaty With Italy Signed.

New York Times 100 years ago today, October 19, 1912:
Turkey Obtains Concessions to Soothe Her People's Pride.
    OUCHY, Switzerland, Oct. 18.— The final draft of the treaty of peace between Turkey and Italy was signed at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon. It will be known as the Treaty of Lausanne.
    The treaty is by no means one-sided or couched in such terms as are usually imposed by victor upon vanquished. Not only have Turkish susceptibilities been safeguarded in the text of the treaty, but the Ottoman plenipotentiaries have succeeded in obtaining from Italy concessions regarding capitulations, judicial jurisdiction over Moslems, and customs duties, as well as a disguised indemnity.
    Upon these concessions Turkey depends to offset the decree of the Sultan granting Independence to Tripoli and Cyrenaica without even a hint of recognizing the right of Italy to assume sovereignty over them.
    Italy's maintenance of her decree of annexation of the new colonial empire is therefore of an unilateral character, there being no bond on the part of the Porte to approve Italy's procedure.
