Turkey Makes Protest.

Washington, Sept. 9. - Protest,
against Great Britans seizure of the
two battleships being built in England
for Turkey at the outbreak of the
war, adopted at a meeting of Ottoman
Indian and Persian Mussulmans and
Hindus in New York have been sent
to congressman here and members of
the cabinet.
Great Britain may have had tht
right, strictly speaking, to take over
those ships" says the protest, but
since she was not at war with Tur-
key, nay, was on friendly terms win
her she legally and morally was
bound to pay for them on the spot.
She has not settled the account yet.
Thus she has committed an act of
spoiiation pure and simple, at the ex-
pense of Turkey. This is as great a
breach OF international law as the vic.
lation of Belgian neutrality by Ger
many. Great Britain seems to have
made law unto herself to injure and
humiliate when opportunity arises

what is the meaning of this atti-

BELGIAN refugees
FLEE TO ENGLAND
SIXTY THOUSAND ARE EXPEC !

For Them.

London, Sept 9.-7;40 p. m.-SiXty
thousand Belgian refugees are eX-
pected to arrive in England in the
next ten days. The British govern
ment today extended a general invi-
tation to all Belgians made homeless
through the war to come to England.
The volunteer war refugees commit
tee organized by the Duchess of Ven
dome has undertaken to care for
these refugees.
Postmaster General Herbert l..
Samuel was loudly cheerod in the
house of commons when he referred
to the fact that British hospitality
had been extended to the Belgians.
Lord HUGH Cecil, chairman of the
executive committee Of the war retd-
gees committee and Lady Lusard, in
active charge of the the fugitives, az
ready have arranged for the organ
ization of committees in towns and
cities where refugees will be sent
from London.
Six temporary depots have been
established in London, where 3,0OU
Belglans will be sheltered and fed
until they are placed in the homes OF
charitable English families. Homes
already have been offered for 10000
Scotch, and Welsh towns are espe-
cially anxious to entertain the Bel
gians, and the committee believes 1t
can make provision for "A million
refugees if necessary. Hundreds OF
thousands of women and children
probably will leave Belgium.
Few refugees have baggage and
their uniamiliarity with Tive English
language makes it necessary for
large corps of volunteer workers and
Interpreters to meet all trains for pro
tective purposes.

doris and the Belgian minister are act
