Though Turkey is improving the defences of the Dardanelles, she relies upon the Powers objecting to the blockade, as the operation contradicts Italy's public declaration that hostilities would be restricted to Tripoli and Cyrenaica. COST OF THE WAR. 21 MILLIONS A MONTH. (Received 11.20 a.m.) LONDON, November 27. The "Times" states that the war is costing 2j millions sterling a month.
