Mediterranean Squadron Ordered TO
Syria TO Protect American Interests.
The orders to the European squadron to
proceed to Syria were issued at the in
stance of the State Department, which had
received letter from United States Min
lister Terrell at Constantinople suggesting
this course. He reported thai the mis-
sionaries in Syria were In a state of alarm,
in view of the turbulent feeling manifested
by the Turks.
While no overt acts had been reported,
he felt that it might be jHdicious move
ment to send some of our war vessels to
the towns along the sea coast for the sake
OF the moral impression that would be
made.
The board of American missions aiso
has been urging the Navy Department to
make Smyrna a rendezvous for the Amer
ican Mediterranean squadron to impress
the natives in that section Of Turkey
1t is not, however, the intention of the
department to adopt any arrangement
that will Interfere with the attendance of

called at her husbands office, but he was
not in. Miss Burke and a young man who
does the greater part OF Mr.. Fields type
writing Were the only occupants OF the
room.
Mrs. Fields waited for while, but, be-
coming tired. got up and started out leav-
ing word for her husband that she had been
in to see him. Miss Burke got up and stood
between her and the door, and instead OF
allowing her to leave the office, tore her
veil from her face and slapped her.
