Rome "Tribuna" Declares

London. Sept. 9. A Russian army
said TO number 25OOOO, is, according
to the Rome "Ir,buna,' in France.
The "Tribuna" usually is regarded as
we'll informed concerning Russian
movements. Oftici-l confirmation oi

"Tho Standard" quotes the Russian
and French embassies as denying the
presence in France of a Russian lorce'
Tho steamer Mauretania. which

one version the Russians were landed
from transports direct at Belgian, or
French ports. Another said that they
had been disembarked at Aberdeen,
Scotland; thence taken on SPee'Si oaS
trains across England, and later con-
yeyed by ship to Ostend.
It was pointed out at this time that
If This movement could be accomp-

FROM Tne Tribune Bureau. |

Washington, Sept. 8.-Emphstic de-
malls were made to-day by the British
Embassy and officials Of the Depart
ment of State of the intimations of the
Turkish Ambassador, A. Rustem Bey,
that Great Britain has been trying to
draw the United States into the Euro
pean war by urging that battleships be
sent to Turkish waters to protect Brit
ish subjects and Americans from pOssi-
bic harm.
81 do not care to discuss what any
ambassador is reported to have said
in the newspapers" said Secretary
Bryan, but other officials had no hesi-
fancy in saying that the United States
had been Influenced only by a desire
to render such aid or protection as the
situation seemed TO require.
Mr.. Bryan admitted that fear Tor
the safety OF Christians in Turkey had
been expressed to the department
through official channels. He said that
the fears originated with persons IA
miliar with the situation, and that re-
ports were transmitted to the depart
ment. Beyond this admission he would
not discuss the Turkish situation eX-
cept to say that the North Cardinals
mission was to carry about Sl5O,OOO TO
the Scorpion, which will take it to Con-
stantinople for Americans needing
financial assistance.
Officials at the British Embassy say
that not the slightest advice has been
given by Great Britain to the United
States as to the Turkish situation.
