Washington, Nov. 1s.-Thc United
States government has directed AM
hassador Henry Morgenthau at Con-
stantinople to ask the Ottoman gov
ernment for an explanation of the fir
ing by Turkish land forces at a launch
from the American cruiser Tennessee,
proceeding from Courlah to the Amer
lcan consulate at Smyrna, Asia Minor
Secretary Daniels, with the approval
of President Wilson, today cabled the
commanders Of the Tennessee AMI
North Carolina, also in the Mediter-
ranean, to take no action which might
embarrass the American government
and to await specific Instructions
from Washington concerning the gen.
cral situation.
Captain Dccker's Message
j These steps followed the receipt of
u message from Captain Berton C.
Decker. commander of the Tennessee.
which was paraphrased in this state
mcnt from the navy departments:
Captain i. c. Decker in command
of the Tennessee, wired Secretary
Daniels this morning that while pro-
ceeding from Courlah to Smyrna, to
make official calls, boat was fired at.
Consul was anxious for safety of con-
sulatc. Tennessee proceeded to and.
left Courlah at request of ambassador
and is now anchored in the harbor Of
Scio (Chios) Greece, from which Cap
tain Decker's telegram was sent Sec
retary Daniels wired for fuller infor-
nation"
Not Regarded as Serious
Although without definite details
as to just what occurred, high officials
of the Washington government had no
doubt that the incident, no matter
where the responsibility law, would be
promptly adjusted through diplomatic
channels. President Wilson is deter
mined that under no circumstances
shall the United States be involved in
war with Turkey.
| IL the Turkish officers acted with
out the authority of the Ottoman gov
ernment and the firing was not justi-
fled here that the Ottoman govern
ment will render apology.

munication from Constantinople

When the American warships first
went to Turkey to protect American
interests and deliver gold for the re-
lief of missionaries, Turkey was at

stance that is fraught With delicate

FRENCH ZOUAYES
AGAIN HEROES
Retake Position Held By
Enemy French Bear
Brunt of Battle

London, Nov. 1S.-On the western
battlefields today there has been
fighting virtually all along the front
without appreciable change.
From the coast of Flanders to the
river Lys, on the Franco Belgian bor-
der, much of which has been flooded
by the allies to hinder German at
tacks. there has been a repetition on
a somewhat smaller scale of the bonn
bardment which the invaders invar-
ing down the allies resistance before
infantry attacks, and, in isolated
spots, attacks in force, but according
to the French and British reports, all
these have been repulsed.
French Bear erunt
The Anglo French forces, which
have been holding the territory around
Ypres, have again been subjected to
determined attacks, fresh German.
troops have attempted to force the
allies out of their trenches, n task
which the Prussian guard a few days
previous failed to accomplish.
AS was the case with the Prussian
guards the Germans who made the
latest effort appear to have taken the
first line Of trenches, but, like the
guards, found themselves attacked on
the f1anks and were compelled to give
ground gained, after holding it for
short time.
Both sides. as shown by the cas-
ualty lists Of officers. are losing heav-
lily in the fighting, but the Germans
on the offensive, and so often en-
filaded after success was nearly in
their hands, are said to have suffered
enormously. I,
French Zouaves Again
The French zouaves, who have fire.
quently distinguished themselves by
dashing charges, have been utilized
again to dislodge the German from a
position near Bixschoote, over which
there has been much fighting and, ac-
cording to the French communication,
they have again been successful.
These incidents are merely examples
of what has been occurring in north
crn France, along the Aisne valley,
around Rheims, in the Argonne forest
and on the banks of the river Meuse.
First one side and then the other
gains an advantage, but when all is
told the general situation remains
about as it was.
Reports come from France that the
Germans are preparing to make an
other attempt to get through to the
coast by way of La Basse, but, like
the rumor that they are preparing
for a retreat, there is no confirma-
ton.
