“CITIZENS!

By Governor

“Italy has declared war against Turkey.
“I announce it to the colony.
“No danger at present menaces Eritrea. But, should, through various vicissitudes of war, a danger arise, I, the officers, the troops, and the functionaries will be prompt to give all of ourselves for this country, baptized Italian by so much noble blood.
“Of you one thing I beg: harmony.
“And united let us direct our prayers for victory to our distant fatherland, to the king, to the fleet, which first advances to the danger, to the army, which will crown the great wish of all Italians: the vindication of the national dignity by the conquest of Tripoli and of Cyrenaica.
“Long live the king!
“Governor.”
Asmara, Sept. 30, 1911.
