Self-Government Proposed for European Turkey

Count Leopold von Berchthold, the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister, has proposed that self-government be gradually granted to all European provinces of Turkey. This proposition is said to have been made largely because of the sentiment that is rapidly gaining ground to the effect that the Young Turks, who gave such promise a few years ago when they seized the government, are not making good. This proposition of the count's is said to be spurring Turkey to great diligence in hastening the unofficial negotiations for peace with Italy which are in progress in Switzerland.
