Department Statement

Secretary Daniels, with the approx
al of President Wilson, simultaneously
cabled the commanders of the Tennes-
see and the North Carolina, Also in
the Mediterranean to take no action
which might embarrass the American
government and to await specific in
structions from Washington concern
ing the general situation.
Department Statement
These steps followed the receipt of
a message from Capt. Benton c.
Decker, commander of the Tennessee,
which was paraphrased in this state
ment from the navy department
Captain B. c. Decker, in command
of the Tennessee, wired Secretary
Daniels this morning that while pro-
ceeding from Vourlah to Smyrna to
make official calls, boat was fired on.
Consuls anxious for safety of consul
late. Tennessee proceeded to and left
Vourlah at request of ambassador and
is now anchored in the harbor of
Scio (Chios) Greece, from which
Capt Decker's message was sent.
Secretary Daniels wired for full rat
ification.
I'VE are without definite details as
to Just what occurred, but the Wash
ington officials had no doubt that the
incident, no matter where the respon-
sibility lay, would be promptly adj
iusted through diplomatic channels.
President Wilson is determined that
under no circumstances shall the
United States be involved in war with
Turkey. If the Turkish officers acted
without authority of the Ottoman
government and the firing was not
justified by naval procedure in clos
ed pert. it is confidently believed here,
the ottoman government will render
apology.
On account of the slow cable COM
munication from Constantinopie
through the only available route-Bul-
garia, Rumania, Austria and Italy
no message concerning the incident
came from Ambassador Morganthau
The last dispatches received from the
ambassador were dated Nov. 14th and
were of a routine character.
Washington Puzzled
With the nayy's message as the only
basis for judgment, President VIII
son and administration officials were
puzzled. The President telephoned
Secretary Daniels several times today
and also discussed the situation with
Acting Secretary Lansing. Two sug-
gestions were vouchsafed by high Of
ficials although they admitted that
their views were purely speculative.
The firing, they thought, probably was
a friendly act, giving the customary
warning by a single shot signifyinG
to the Tennessees launch that the
port of Smyrna was closed, or else
the boat was turned back because It
attempted to enter without previous
arrangements having been made with
the Turkish authorities.
Officials of the government declined
to believe that the firing was an I'M
friendly act. Assurances given by the
Porte have repeatedly protested close
friendship for American citizens.
However, when the American war
ships first went to Turkey, to protect
American interests and deliver gold
for the relief of missionaries, Turkey
was at peace. Since then the United
States has taken over the diplomatic
interests of Great Britain and France.

lean people will maintain at all haz-

they greed upon it was that it was a

AT LOSS THIS YEAR

Generally at this season OF the year
we can form some intelligent idea as
TO what the toba eco crop promises,
but we must confess we are at loss
lust at this time to venture an opinion
as 10 general conditions. says The
Southern Tobacco Journal, One thing
we can safely say and that is the crop
will be considerably short on pounds
as compared with last year, and 1t is
almost certain that the crop will be
inferior as to quality.
II is true that In many sections rains
have fallen almost daily and toba Geo
has come up wonderfully while in
other sections. the crop Is needing sea

poor. We have heard many predict
that the crop could not pan out more
than sixty per cent of last year in the

seventy or seventy-five per cent OF

VIRGINIA MANGANESE
ORES AND ITS ALLOYS

WASHINGTON, d. c.. July Is
The production of manganese ores In
the United States during 1913, wholly
in Virginia, according to statistics col
iected by ID. r. Hewitt of the United
States Geological survey. was 4,04S
tons. Though this was the largest out
put since 1908, the domestic produc-
ton has for 20 years been negligible
compared with the imports, which
amounted to $4,000 tons In 1918.
India. Russia and Brazil. in the order
named, supply practically the entire
amount OF thAse ores needed by the
industries Of the United States. These
three countries produce, In fact. about
80 per cent OF the worlds supply.
| Though there are. many deposits OF
manganese ores in the United States,
most OF them are too small to furnish
large amounts OF ore regularly. Ger
tain classes OF high grade ores used
in the glass and chemical trades are
not known to occur IN commercial
quantities In the United States.
Ferromanganese Is manufactured in
the United States, but almost wholly
from foreign ores. spiegeleisen Is man
ufactured from the manganiferous
residuum derived from New Jersey
production of these alloys in 1913
was 226,475 tons. which compares
with I2S,l47 tons imported. II Is a
curious fact that the United States.
with enormous deposits OF iron ore.
depends on deposits In foreign coun-
tries for most OF its supply OF the
metals used as alloys In the manu-
facture Of steel. such as manganese,
nickel. chromium and yanadiun.
