ROME, June 10

Tho advance from Tripoli on Zandur is regarded as an answer to the growing complaints owing to Italy’s inaction. The Turkish trenches were filled with coipses and there were a thousand killed. An officer and twenty nine Italians were killed. Eight officers and 259 men wore wounded. A PROLONGED STRUGGLE, AUCKLAND June 10. That tho Italian-Turkish war will continue for some considerable time is the opinion of Prince Gustav Dikran, of Albania, leader of the recent Albanian revolution, who is visiting Auckland. *• There arc seven million Arabs to draw on,” the Prince told an interviewer, “ and every one of them will fight until death overtakes him.” The Prince said that the religion of tho Arabs compelled them to fight without monetary assistance, and their services were not causing any embarrassment to the country’s wealth. On the other hand, the war was costing Italy about £35,090 a day. He added that tho Italian people wished to have peace declared. but he thought that the cud was in Hie far future.
