F AILED TO SINK TURKISH SHIPS
RESIGNATION OFFERED BUT RE-

LONDON, April 6
It is reported that the Duke of Abruzzi, comanding one of the Italian squadrons, has been censured for his failure to sink two Turkish warships in a recent engagement in the Aegean Sea.
Besides the reprimand from the naval authorities, the Royal commander received a bitter letter of reproof from King Victor Emanuel. The Duke at once handed in his resignation, which, however, the Minister ■of Marino refused to accept.
